Anyone still want to pretend this doesn't extend beyond birth control?

    If a person is known to be a peddler of propaganda and falsehoods to the exclusion of all else, I feel completely free to ignore them. The daily kooks fit well in this category. On the rare occasions that truth passes across their sites pages it's either an accident OR there is some other goal in mind.

    I gather news from a wide variety of sources. Daily Kos is but one among many. Occasionally I'll even try to get coverage of the same event from opposing sides just so I can be sure one isn't clouding my judgement more than another.

    To close yourself off from any source of information is to shut the door on knowledge, and condemn yourself to a life of ignorance.

    I never said he has authority, I said he has a plan. The fact that he doesn't hold any authority himself is irrelevant. He doesn't NEED to hold any political power, he only needs to have money, which he does. People who have both a plan and money can buy legislators to implement their plan.

    Not necessary. We just need legislation to ensure only historically accurate and scientific information is presented in classrooms.

    So are you saying that Catholicism isn't actually a legitimate Christian religion?

    It's not an oversimplification, it's a historically and scientifically accurate definition. Communism means to put the entire population in collective control of the means of production (i.e. in control of businesses). Of course the entire population cannot act collectively except through some kind of legislative authority or electoral body, which inevitably means that putting businesses under the control of the people translates into putting them under the control of the government. Nothing else except that can ever rightly be called Communism, and to attach the labels of Communism or Socialism to any other idea is a distortion of the truth.

    So the other night we're waxing the floor in front of the pharmacy. It's about 3 am I guess. A woman walks around until she gets to the fence closest to where I'm waxing and whispers, asking me to get her something from the pharmacy. I asked her what she needed. She whispered something again. I asked her, "what?"
    "I NEED CONDOMS".
    "Oh! Well you can get them yourself, just go around past our fence, you can get into the pharmacy."

    I felt bad, since if I'd just given her directions I could have saved her some needless embarrassment.

    What did I care if she wanted rubbers? She wasn't going to have sex with me, that was darn sure...

    Yes, it is.
    It is the worship of a murderous ball of rock infested with life, by placing its imaginary "needs" ahead of the very real needs of our own species.

    I am confident that Rand would place the Green religion on the same plane as any other religion.

    No one is due respect simply because they are a member of homo sapiens. Respect is earned, not owed.

    Only half the planet is warming. The other half is cooling (well, the exact proportions depends on what time of year it is).
    Every morning... and every evening...

    It says, as I did say, that he would LIKE it to be mandated. He does not have ANY authority to MANDATE it.

    Chill out!

    Baited. Explain how it LOGICALLY fits into the biological evolution of any species?

    Homosexuality does exist so I give the people who are homosexual their due respect as human beings. But the reality is its a scientific and biological abnormality (look up the word, its not an insult) that is counter to evolution.

    another PSA.

    You're right in that there are significant barriers in place, but that doesn't mean Hobby Lobby's plan doesn't exist.

    And homosexuality does have a legitimate basis in biology. Countless studies have verified this. To deny this is to deny reality.

    As for global warming, that also has a legitimate scientific basis as well, though there is a debate as to whether it's being caused by pollution or by the Sun. But either way, the planet is definitely warming. Even Glen Beck agrees that the Earth is heating up, though he takes the position that the Sun is the cause.

    Lets not inject reality into the situation. Even if HL hoped to do something like this there would be many barriers to to them actually implementing it. Besides, how could a private company - even if they were trying to seduce a school district into allowing their agenda - manage to mandate anything in the curriculum. That power, apparently, is cornered by the politically correct.

    Incidentally, my children's traditional school once taught homosexuality as a biologically legitimate lifestyle. LOL. Naturally I had words with the "science" teacher over this as well as their stealth assembly where my kids were lectured for a hour about global warming and their "role" in protecting the environment. Oddly enough the global warming assembly gave no forewarning to parents AND had no opposing perspective presented.
