The "Wikileaks is espionage" thing is a farce orchestrated by blood thirsty war mongers. And no, the outing of Valerie Plame was not a Democrat conspiracy. It was done by neocons who hated the fact that her husband didn't go along with the "yellow cake to Iraq" lie. But no doubt endangering...

Gore said he, "took the initiative in creating the internet". When a politician says that everybody understands that he means that he voted to spend public money funding its development. Nobody hearing that would think that Al Gore programmed up the internet in his secret underground laboratory.

You mean like what the Bush administration did to Valerie Plame? I agree, that deserves the death penalty. But I'm not sure that anything in wikileaks is of the same degree of significance. It's mostly just stuff that gets lying politicians embarrassed. Such as (surprise) the fact that...

Money is cheap (i.e., yields are low) because when nobody else wants to buy a Treasury bond the Federal Reserve does, with money created out of thin air. There is no real market price of U.S bonds. Me, I think you'd have to be crazy to lend to the U.S. government at current rates.

peilthetraveler, not even Freethinker gets his knowledge of evolution from Spielberg movies. Maybe you should be reading the right books, instead of trying to learn about evolution from movies targeted to 12 year old boys.

Al Gore never said that, although conservatives will continue to take cheap shots at Gore for what he didn't say. Al Gore said (and this is not a quote, but a paraphrase) that he voted to fund the development of the internet (with your tax dollars, of course). Now, me, I don't object to the...

We got Obama as a direct reaction to George W. Bush. And we're likely to be stuck with him for another 4 years as a direct reaction to Romney. The Republicans will never learn. And I say this as one thoroughly disgusted with the Democrats.

In the case of wikileaks "espionage" simply means that it published facts embarrassing to U.S. politicians. In my my view anybody who does that should get a medal.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans are convinced that the United States owns all countries, and if they don't do what we say we should invade them.

Show me the links. All the data I've seen shows that when you take into account the type of crime white murderers actually get the death penalty slightly more often than black murderers do.

We made it possible to force an unconditional surrender on the Germans. It was pretty much a stalemate before we jumped in.

And your point is? All I can conclude is that porn site owners are more web savvy, and and profit oriented businesses know that it is in their best interest to banish malware. A preacher putting up a bible studies web site is not likely to know as much about web security and doesn't have...

The downfall began with Woodrow Wilson. He gave us the income tax, the Federal Reserve, and the principle that it's America's duty to fight other people's wars (World War I). Had we stayed out of World War I there would have been a negotiated peace, no punitive Treaty of Versailles, no rise of...

Hate crimes laws are thought crime laws and free countries don't make thought a crime. It was already illegal to carry out murder, assault, and rape in every state of the union before any hate crimes laws were created. Hate crimes laws add extra penalties if you were deemed to have had bad...
