• Redskins Star QB RGIII Blasts ‘Tyranny of Political Correctness’ — The Left Freaks Out

  May 1, 2013 at 10:17am

  In reply to deadend.

  @Pencil D***

  #1 A petition is not what this is about. It is about the demonizing of the team and players by the MSM because of their name/mascot.

  #2 Where does abortion and gay marriage come into an article about the Redskins? Anyways, it is not a Woman’s right to control her own body, it is about taking away her right to kill an innocent unborn child. Gay marriage is more about an attack on traditional marriage and a diversion from the real issues than it is about gay marriage.

• Angry Obama: Failed Background Check Amendment a ‘Shameful Day’ in Washington

  April 18, 2013 at 5:20pm

  “Are they serious? Do we really think that thousands of families whose lives have been shattered by gun violence do not have a right to weigh in on this issue?”

  No one is saying that, but parading them around and using them for your own agenda is sick.

  Does Obama really think that thousands of families whose lives have been saved by guns do not have a right to weigh in on this issue?

• Is Global Warming Man-Made? The Majority of Christian Pastors Don’t Think So

  Read The Deniers. It is an account of several different scientists who’s findings and words were twisted to support the Gore profiteering. What I learned from that book is that you do not have “global climatologists” and that anyone claiming to be one is not a true scientist. There are many fields that go into it (regional climatologists, oceanographers, meteorologists). Many of the scientists in the book had their funding cut and were essentially banished from the scientific community for questioning global warming. There was 1 account of an Antarctic climatologist who was cited several times for his study of deep core samples in Antarctica (Remember this?) The IPCC used his numbers to “prove” that there was less CO2 then than now, which means the Earth warmed. This scientist (I cannot recall his name) refuted this claim by stating only the facts, that pressure at depths will force CO2 molecules out of the ice and that was the likely cause. This scientist was kicked out of the IPCC and his funding cut for these comments. This global warming crap is strong arming and profiteering. If you believe it at face value then you are an idiot.

• Lesbian Couple Wins Discrimination Lawsuit Against Religious Bed and Breakfast Owner Who Denied Them a Room

  In reply to WTFHappenedToTheUSA.

  Since ENCINOM won’t respond, here is the list of the top 5 deadliest conflicts in human history:
  #1 – WWII (60-78 million casualties) war started by an Atheist dictator bent on racial and land conquest
  #2 – Mongol Conquests (30-60 million casualties) all about land and killing others. No religious motive here.
  #3 – Qing Dynasty (25 million casualties) – again, it was a land grab.
  #4 – WWI (20 million casualties) – many reasons, but mostly conquering your neighbors.
  #5 – Taiping Rebellion (20-40 million casualties) – Civil war between 2 religious groups in China

  So, 1 out of 5 was religious in nature. Actually, if you go to the top 10, the Taiping Rebellion is still the only religious one. I will even give you 2 if you count the Dungan Revolt, which was ethnic in nature (ethnicities count race, religion, etc). Here are 6-10:
  White lotus rebellion (Tax Revolt in China), An Shi Rebellion (rival dynasties fighting for power in China), Warring States Period (China before the Dynasties), Dungan Revolt (Ethnic war in China), Conquest of Tamerlane (Turkish conquest of Asia).

  You know what I see here… China has a violent past. 6 of the 10 were in China and only the world wars were fought outside of Asia (in Asia too). So, here is the count of the top five:

  Religious: 20-40 million casualties
  Non-Religious: 135-183 million casualties

  That’s called research!

• ‘I Don’t Give a S**t’: Teachers’ Alleged Bullying of Conservative Student Launches School District Investigation

  In reply to The Third Archon.

  @Archon
  You need to learn the difference between commentary and news. Fox news was found to be more factual than most. I do not remember exactly who performed this study, but I am sure a simple search would find it.

  BTW, MSNBC was found to be the least factual.

• ‘I Don’t Give a S**t’: Teachers’ Alleged Bullying of Conservative Student Launches School District Investigation

  @ARCHON

  You stated “Except that’s a completely unrealistic approach to education given the heightened demands for knowledge of a modern economy.” when replying to Jefferson’s comment about privatization of education.

  That is a fallacy. The fact is that the public school system in America spends double the amount per student than private schools. This is sad considering that the average private school provides a much better education than the public school counterpart. Don’t sit there and spew this crap about some inability to privatize the school system.

  Keep in mind that out of 70 countries, the US is 62nd in High School graduation rates but 4th in spending.

  Your comment on conservative racism is way over generalized. Many people are racist, regardless of political affiliation. The racism you speak of is the conservative idea that rights and benefits should be available to all. I remember preparing for college and there was a book of scholarships that seemed about 1000 pages long. only about 1-2% of them were available to everyone. Those 98-99% were the racist ones, but the liberals would disagree. Does that explain to you why the “right” believes the “left” to be racist?

• College Records Reveal Bizarre New Details About Sandy Hook Shooter Adam Lanza (Plus: An Odd New Photo)

  @rangerskippy

  I have to call out 1 item out of many good points you have made. You said “every kid that does a mass school shooting though is heavily into violent video games.” This is not true of the Virginia Tech shooter. His roommate testified to him typing endlessly on his computer (in Word to be exact) and there was no evidence to the contrary. It may be 1 out of many, but it needs to be clarified.

  The reason for the shootings is complex. Could it be violent imagery that is causing this? Maybe, but it isn’t the entire aspect. The problem also may stem from a broken family, a broken public school system, or maybe it was an inability to deal with failure. I am not a psychologist and I get the impression that most in the media that comment on violent imagery are not any more qualified than me to make a statement, but I fear we might be pushing for the easy way out; be it banning guns or games.

• NRA’s School Guard Proposal Gets Mixed Reviews from Gun Groups: ‘Prohibitively Expensive’; ‘Teachers Are Not Soldiers’; ‘What’s My Kid’s Life Worth?’

  The US is 4th out of 70 countries in money spent per student. What did this get us?
  14th in Reading
  17th in Science
  25th in Math
  62nd in high school graduation rate

  It is time to redirect the money where it needs to go. Outlaw teachers unions. Limit sports to those that can fund themselves either through ticket sales or pay to play. Limit or eliminate foreign languages (there are countless self-taught methods). Limit art, music, theater to after school groups led by volunteers. Eliminate gym class outside of elementary school. Share facilities with other schools and parks to reduce operating costs (is there any reason a high-school baseball team can’t play at a city park?).

• Stubborn Facts: The Gun Industry Employs Twice as Many Americans as GM (and That’s Just the Beginning)

  March 26, 2013 at 2:50pm

  In reply to WilliamORights.

  More than half of every GM is built in a foreign country (compared to 25% of a Toyota Camry). So, why can a foreign company succeed in the US when an American company cannot? Compare the 2:

  Foreign:
  – Most are built in Right to Work states.
  – All or nearly all built in non-union plants.

  Domestic:
  – Assembled in Detroit/Canada/Mexico from imported components.
  – EVERY SINGLE PLANT IN THE US IS UNION!!!

  @Silvertruth

  The conflict will arise more in the conservative portions of the blue/purple states than in the solid red states after the conservatives in those B/P states realize that any representation there may have been for their views has just left the building. If secession started, the libs would try to suppress any opposition in the remaining states essentially wiping out any conservative representation.
