Gore didn't concede because it was unclear who actually won Florida, and thus the presidency. Trump is saying he doesn't acknowledge the election process' legitimacy, unless he wins, in which case it's working fine.

...That's circulatory shock. Psychological shock is a stress reaction to trauma. http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2016/en#/F43.0

You don't need advanced computers for a car to get you from point A to B, they just make things safer. We'd never do it nowadays, but a big ol' rocket like the Saturn V would still get the job done.

The correct response to PC is open dialogue, and clear communication of ideas. You're not required to be an advocate for your ideas, so if you don't have the patience or temperament for it, just let someone else o it. This anti-PC stuff arose because college kids are mostly terrible...

I highly recommend reading Merchants of Doubt. It does a great job of explaining how politics and big business have tried to dismiss science when it's findings proved inconvenient.

...Isn't his wife Catholic?

It's mostly poking fun at how it looks, but I think it does depend on what you're pledging to do. Pledging to uphold the constitution, or your loyalty to your country, is completely different from pledging your loyalty to a candidate.

Don't wait too long. Eventually we're going to have to build our own wall to keep all the illegal Americans out. :p

Yes, poems are often revised multiple times during the life of the poet, but it's not an incorrect because the type of socialists they're talking about saw communism as the ultimate goal. One of the groups targeted for concentration camps were communists and socialists, so how is it factually...

Canada welcomes you! We've got lots of space...in fact it's mostly empty because nobody wants to deal with our winters.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for...

No u? Ok, then.

He says incorporated companies, which I believe refers to the type of trading companies I mentioned, that you ignored.

If you believe the founding fathers were ignorant of a company that, if adjusted for inflation, would be the third most wealthy country on earth today, you're sadly mistaken. There was also the Mississippi and Hudson's Bay companies, operating here in North America in the 17th century. They were...

I think they're referring to his speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition where he made a few off-color remarks like "I'm a negotiator like you folks," and "I don't want your money, so you're probably not gonna support me," which are both stereotypes about Jewish people being manipulative. He...

Your article points out that the rate of poverty for Blacks and Hispanics is about two to three times what it is for Whites. Of course there are more White people in poverty because there are more White people overall, but statistically it's still a major problem.

Yeah, I certainly never experienced Jesus in the way some of my friends say they have. To hear some people talk about him, you'd think they were meeting later for drinks. I've always suspected they're doing what I used to do with ghosts, when I was young. My friends and I thought ghosts and...

There's really no trend or precedent in American politics where interrupting a Jewish person is viewed as dismissive and anti-semetic. Being even the least bit curt with a woman in politics is seen that way because it has that history, especially with Hillary. Republicans have been on her for...

Maybe you haven't had religious experiences, so I'll summarize how it goes. What happens is you take the information contained in the Bible, combine it with tradition, the words and beliefs of people you respect, your own beliefs, and you come to form a clear image of that person in your mind...

Doesn't matter that he's got the strongest record on fighting poverty, or a platform designed to directly help the poor. Republicans are overjoyed that Bernie misspoke. They're going to keep that little snippet out of context and run with it. Trump supporters in particular are elated that for...
