"Those who say that the study of science makes a man an atheist must be rather silly." Max Born, Nobel Prize-winning quantum physicist

"It is not difficult for me to have this faith [that a supreme intelligence brought the universe into being and created man], for it is incontrovertible that where there is a plan there is intelligence -- an orderly, unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered -- 'In the beginning God.'" Arthur Compton, Nobel Prize-winning quantum physicists, discoverer of the "Compton Effect."

They say they are going to autopsy these victims who died of gunshot wounds to determine if some were the victims of "friendly fire." Since they were wearing the same camos that the shooter was, the theory is that the armed police and military may have accidentally shot some of them.

    If it did happen, the blame is still on the man who started the battle, so why should they even care? Are they going to do ballistic tests on the weapons of everyone who fired a pistol or rifle and then point to the individual(s), assuming it did happen? For what purpose? They know who the shooter was, can't they just leave it at that?     (more)

I had seen the bit where Milton Friedman schooled Phil Donahue, but capitalism has always been my choice. As Friedman said, capitalism has been responsible for producing more goods and services for more people than any other economic system in history. Without the economic freedom brought by free enterprise, all other freedom and liberty becomes meaningless.

    If you want a direct comparison between the two, just compare East Germany with West Germany, and North Korea with South Korea, over the second half of the twentieth century. How many Mercedes Benz, BMWs, Audis, Porsches or VWs did East Germany create and manufacture over those years? None!

    Socialist/communist East Germany was a gray, dismal place, while free-market West Germany thrived, producing the greatest automobiles in the world. Can anyone name a single thing that East Germany exported, much less a world-class automobile?

    Then compare North Korea to South Korea. North Korea can't even feed its own people, while South Korea has a booming economy -- exporting Hundaiis and Kias all over the world.

    Closer to home, how many Cubans have risked their lives in leaky boats to get to Michael Moore's island paradise, Cuba? That's right - zero! In the meantime, thousands have risked their lives to get to the U.S. from Cuba.

    As the Scottish philospher, David Hume, said, efforts to impose "perfect equality" always fail, because first, "man's different degrees of art, care, and industry will immediately break [the equality]", and second, it will "reduce society to the most extreme indigence; and instead of preventing want and beggery in a few, render it unavoidable to the whole community."

    In other words, socialism, instead of improving anyone's lot, drags everyone down to the lowest common denominator.     (more)

This is a blatant attempt to get increased Democratic representation in areas of the country with a large illegal population. If illegals were not counted, California would lose at least three representatives, all Democrat. They are playing politics with our immigration policy, they are passing absentee ballot laws and laws forbidding the requirement of identification, all in an effort to allow illegals to cast votes.

    Sorry, but no "rebranding" was necessary. The Democrats are and have been the party of economic irresponsibility for years - their new regulations during the Clinton administration, creating the "subprime" mortage, forcing lenders to make bad loans and then encouraging their GSEs, Fannie and Freddie to continue to buy them even after the Bush administration warned about the looming catastrophe, were never reported by the MSM. Dems like Maxine Waters and Barney Frank got away with their irresponsible demonizing of those who wanted to regulate Freddie and Fannie, free to continue their irresponsible, socialist ways.

    The only thing that has happened is that under the Obama administration it has become so obvious, with record deficits, and a higher national debt than the 43 presidents before Obama, combined, that the MSM could no longer hide it from the American people.     (more)

    #1. Wouldn't want to unnecessarily honor the roll of the United States under the leadership of Ronald Reagan in bringing an end to the Cold War -- after all, hasn't he already apologized for it!     (more)

So the Obama/MSM spin machine begins - the loss of the governorships in two major states, one of which is "deep blue" and the other "purple" can't be a reflection on the Messiah.

    If it is true that he watched himself on the HBO special it is the second time he watched it, which would totally confirm the claims that the man has an overflowing ego, to the point of narcissism. Maybe the White House forgot that they had put out a news release a few days ago that HBO had provided him a copy to preview and he had given it a "thumbs up!" Will the adulation (self and otherwise) never end?

Are you saying that Obama's administration is going to cause seven years of famine, i.e., that this recession and unemployment is going to last seven more years? It makes sense, inasmuch as that FDR's New Deal extended what should have been a two year recession for eight years, and made it into the Great Depression. Obama is going for the same kind of massive government spending, running up more debt than all of the forty-three presidents before him, combined. (more)
