My, how easily you throw terms like this around. How is he an antisemite? His comparison of Venezuela's crime statistics with the holocaust was sheer ...

Yeah, but nothing approaching the apocalypse, so you can cool your jets. How could you possibly know that?
February 27, 2017 at 16:27
>:O
February 27, 2017 at 16:23
Sure, but I don't see the need to ban idiots.
February 27, 2017 at 16:22
I see. Yeah, he's a bit of a neocon, but then, so am I, so that's probably why I like him.
February 27, 2017 at 16:14
I disagree with the ban. The insinuation that he's a Nazi is based on pretty flimsy evidence. If you're going to accuse someone of almost the worst th...

I like David Horowitz. How do you characterize him?
February 26, 2017 at 16:37
This is contradictory. What makes us moral if not that which grounds morality?
February 26, 2017 at 15:35
Good. I think what I was suggesting is plain for all to see.
February 26, 2017 at 15:26
This hardly sounds like I'm "covering for him." And you haven't refuted what I said. Granted, it would be difficult to refute, since it's just my impr...

You didn't answer my question. Why did you choose to interpret his remarks hyper literally? It's my understanding that Trump uses this phrase to talk ...
February 26, 2017 at 05:56
Because they may come to America from said countries? Duh.
February 26, 2017 at 04:58
It's not an either/or, though. We can and should focus on both.
February 26, 2017 at 04:53
What does this mean? Why do you think I'm doing so? My original comment was about how I thought the claim that Trump is a liar is overblown. He doesn'...

Like we're already doing, we'll switch to alternative fuel sources, like natural gas and renewables.
February 26, 2017 at 04:42
I'm highly skeptical of this and certainly not going to take your word for it. No it wasn't. It wasn't a Muslim ban. You said Trump said that a terror...
February 26, 2017 at 04:40
No I didn't.
February 26, 2017 at 04:22
Why would you choose to take what he said that literally and then proceed to offer several articles covering certain events that happened today? Do yo...
February 26, 2017 at 04:17
From a recent article I read: I would add the hysteria surrounding the travel ban as well, which the media claimed was a "Muslim ban." I see no eviden...
February 26, 2017 at 03:56
I think he believes a lot of the stories about him are fake news, about which he is right. I grant you that the executive branch has too much power an...

February 25, 2017 at 00:52
I said that one needn't read someone's posts if they don't want to. I wanted to read your posts in this thread, so I've responded. How typical. Just l...
February 24, 2017 at 21:55
Sorry, but you're not going to get my sympathy. You're a mod on a tiny Internet forum complaining about having to read stuff that mods read. So? Don't...
February 24, 2017 at 20:53
Don't read or post about what you don't like or aren't interested in. It's very simple.
February 24, 2017 at 18:36
Much ado about nothing it seems to me....
February 24, 2017 at 15:44
Right, you're merely proving my point. Anything a church does to gain members is to "adapt," so you can't ever be wrong. I don't dispute what you say.
February 22, 2017 at 13:41
These are precisely its strengths that have allowed it to endure for 2000 years. You no longer have a universal church when you take such things away....
February 21, 2017 at 14:13
So what's "good new age?"
February 21, 2017 at 03:09
I thought you meant what he says, not the center. I just gave you an example.
February 21, 2017 at 02:52
Nah. And I never claimed they were....
February 21, 2017 at 02:41
No, that's how they wither and die. See mainline Protestant Christianity. Been where? Watch his damn videos. The man has the Om symbol equaling mc2 be...
February 21, 2017 at 01:50
Cry me a river. A Franciscan would. I don't give two figs if someone's wealthy.
February 21, 2017 at 01:26
He's "written" dozens of books, has a new age center, and goes around giving talks like the above one. No, I don't have any direct evidence, that's wh...
February 21, 2017 at 01:10
Pfft. Stop all this make-nice sappiness. You're all just pretending and you know it. Hate each other. It's the Internet.
February 21, 2017 at 00:58
I saw a video by him a few months ago and was slightly intrigued but then watched a few more and slowly began to see his MO. He's just another new age...
February 21, 2017 at 00:49
The bait isn't juicy enough for me to be sarcastic. I can give you points for trying, though.
February 20, 2017 at 14:40
Yeah, basically.
February 20, 2017 at 14:07
No.
February 20, 2017 at 13:53
Me? No.
February 20, 2017 at 13:45
By leftists, think the people who like to scream, violently riot, block speakers on college campuses, or try to publicly shame people who express diff...
February 20, 2017 at 13:39
Talk about hastiness! I never accused you of anything. You strike me as a modern liberal, not a leftist, and I make a distinction between the two. Lef...
February 20, 2017 at 01:05
Plus, it's a bit rich for leftists to pretend to be great defenders of science when they also claim there are half a dozen genders; or when they claim...
February 19, 2017 at 22:50
That's not false, though. There are scientists who aren't motivated by silly religious ideas and aren't energy corporation shills who question some of...
February 19, 2017 at 22:39
Yeah, I like that model quite well. I might call myself that too.
February 19, 2017 at 22:08
You could be a free market socialist. Free exchange of goods and services determined by supply and demand + cooperatively owned businesses and corpora...
February 19, 2017 at 22:06
There's no quote in that article saying he denies climate change. Just vague insinuations to that effect. All I got from it was that he sued the EPA, ...
February 19, 2017 at 21:56
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Where did you get this from?
February 19, 2017 at 21:49
So? Been described? Is he one or not? That doesn't make him a denier. You're concerned that people can question climate science? Concerned enough to i...
February 19, 2017 at 20:48
Because?
February 19, 2017 at 19:30
Hmm. Well, that sounds like an uncharitable characterization of the man to say the least.
