Obama’s Choice for the CIA’s No. 2 Spot Has an ‘Erotica Night’ Past

Awww yeahhh… dim the lights and cue the Barry White.

Instead of waterboarding, maybe now the CIA will integrate naughty spankings into their interrogations.
Ted Cruz Reserving Judgement on Whether NSA Leaker Is a ‘Patriot’ or a ‘Traitor’

That’s what I like about Ted Cruz, he’s not your typical knee-jerk politician. It actually takes guts and restraint to say “I haven’t formed an opinion on that yet” rather than to spout out some ill-informed statement without having all the facts just to get in front of the cameras.

B-tater,

I agree that what has happened to the Democrat party is the gradual infiltration of radical leftists/socialists. This can solidly be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century with the Progressive movement. But I would also argue that today, at least at the Federal, State, and most of the local levels of party leadership, “Democrat” might as well be synonymous with “radical leftist” because the party has filled to the brim with them. In fact, they’re spilling over into the GOP and have been at an increasing clip for decades. The so-called “moderate” Republicans, or RINOs, are more like the Democrats of old that you refer to, but even some of them have veered hard left. Unfortunately, because the GOP has been plagued with the same insidious progressivism since the early 1900s, it is nowadays hard to trust that a politician calling himself “conservative” really is. We have these hodge-podge politicians with a liberal position here and a conservative position there who end up being completely inconsistent and therefore untrustworthy. This has also resulted in the confusion of the mainstream public of what a conservative really stands for. The true dichotomy of political ideology in America today is progressivism/statism vs conservatism/libertarianism, not Democrat vs Republican.

Dem. Senator, Others Use Okla. Tornadoes to Hit GOP Over Sandy Relief Bill, ‘Climate Change’

In reply to hades3.

You are exactly right and I was thinking the same thing. A cyclone is a weather phenomenon on the same scale as a hurricane. When one occurs in other parts of the world (the Indian Ocean and south Pacific Ocean, I believe) it is referred to as a cyclone. In yet other parts of the world it is called a typhoon. Geez, if you’re a kook who wants to pretend to understand science, at least get your terminology straight.

To me, it is most ironic that the Climate Change acolytes accuse skeptics of being “climate deniers” and “anti-science” considering that no accredited scientist has ever come close to proving that a swing of a few degrees up (or down) from year to year could affect the frequency or intensity of tornadoes or hurricanes during that year. In real science, you may have a hunch or supposition about how some aspect of the universe operates, but the default assumption you must always adopt is the skeptical one, known as the “null hypothesis” – that the imagined connection does not exist – until you have amassed plenty of evidence to the contrary. And even after that, your findings would have to be replicated by others and subjected to intense peer scrutiny before being accepted as a scientific “fact”. So those of us who choose to be skeptical are actually much more pro-science than those who would adopt an alarmist belief about nature with no proof. In other words, I’m not anti-science, I’m just anti-pseudo-science.

‘I’m Going to Grab Your Baby, and Don’t Resist’: Cops Barge Into Calif. Parents’ Home, Take Their Baby After They Seek 2nd Medical Opinion — And It’s on Video

Since when are you required by law to undergo a “proper discharge” for you or your child? It’s called “checking out A.M.A. (against medical advice).” Please note that the key word here is: “advice.” The doctor may think you’re a fool, but he can’t keep you there unless a judge has ordered it, given very specific criteria. A crucial aspect of the doctor-patient relationship is that patient (or parent) “informed consent” is required for treatment, except in emergency situations when a parent is not present or the adult patient is incapacitated but needs immediate medical attention. If the staff at the first hospital truly believed the child’s life was in imminent danger, then they did the only thing they could do by calling the police. However, once the police showed up at the second hospital and saw that the child was fine, the matter should have been closed. I believe the ones definitely in the wrong here are an overzealous child protective services and the police they sent who were “just following orders.” Where have we heard that before? Bottom line – we all need to get intimately reacquainted with our most basic undeniable rights, and then we need to remind everyone around us, whenever we get the opportunity, so that they don’t forget either.
