    Govt gives subsidized housing to thousands of poor blacks in ritzy white Baltimore neighborhoods

    Have you tried optimism? We've literally been in this mess since Roanoke, so my take is that it's not a mess, its America.

    Burger King goes Halal

    I think competing against halal shops is fair capitalist game and Burger King is killing MD over moves like this. They're run by a Brazillian company now. It's France and Paris that's "infested" as you say. This is a country that has been settled by Arab countries and which has settled Arab...

    How did the party of Lincoln (GOP) end up being the Confederate Party

    Now you think that voting for pro-segregation republicans has nothing to do with racism?

    Burger King goes Halal

    Or in a muslim neighborhood in France, moreover? In a free market, a company should be able to change their menu however they like to stay competitive.

    Can Terrorism ever be justified? What consitutes terrorism?

    My take is that terrorism is fairly ineffective. In most cases, it serves to harm the movement that it's meant to support. Playing a part in history is different than driving it. In most cases of terrorism there's this need for publicizing the cause as though for support. Does it ever bring...

    Republicans war on terror

    The CIA didn't make a public declaration of what they knew, being a spy agency and all. Do you think that the no-sharing arrangement from before 9/11 was a good idea?

    The most violent times in SA were 2 decades before the capitulation. How do you figure?

    Govt gives subsidized housing to thousands of poor blacks in ritzy white Baltimore neighborhoods

    Is it that white people can't participate in this or are the hemorrhoids flaring up?

    Can Terrorism ever be justified? What consitutes terrorism?

    South Africa makes a great case study regarding the justifiability and effect of crossing that line into terrorist campaigning. Don't forget that the Sharpeville massacre preceded your quote, eliminating the legitimacy the Afrikaner govt, globally. The Poko and MK response did the same to...

    Can Terrorism ever be justified? What consitutes terrorism?

    Apartheid shows terroristic desperation on the part of the minority government, but indeed, there were black terrorists, too. Most of the people involved responded through hard work, then some through protest. I should have also noted non-violent political means, too.

    YIKES: Can govt require "compelled speech" in clinics regarding abortion

    Thanks for that. The semantics aren't as key as I made them out to seem.

    Ted Cruz reads Christmas stories all the classics....

    Cruz is more real as a joke than as a candidate.

    GOP refuses to take responsibility for anything from 2001 to 2008 yet want to run the country? Why?

    For starters, we're going to build a wall... ...and Mexico's going to pay for it.
