Ron Paul's campaign manager is the 'President' of the 'Institute'! That's Hilarious. By the way, though I've always admired Ron Paul, I can't think of anyone, including yourself, who has a more distorted or inaccurate understanding of Money and Credit to say nothing of the Fed which remains a...

I can't recommend the link you gave. It is a contrived, cobbled together piece which includes some comments supposedly from from Pace University economist Joe Solerno*, I suppose in an attempt to give it some legitimacy . Unfortunately it contains many statements, that while they may have...

The latter.

Indeed, the sooner we can dispose of this Russian fixation we can get to the fun stuff, Trump's Tax Returns. :D

I have learned a new word from these articles: "facticity". I'll add it to my list of other words that are being used more often now that Donald J. Trump is our President; words such as "Truthiness". Even if Trumps Presidency turns out to be a disastrous failure he can point to the revival of...

Jem, you don't know what my position is. You're guessing wildly. it's pointless.

Why not go over there and volunteer to fight the infidels if you feel that strongly about it. You can imagine you're in a modern day crusade and wave the Christian flag as you charge bravely forward. I'll cheer you on from over here.

That's not happening now is it? Not in the U.S. anyway. I wouldn't spend time worrying about the non-existent.

I don't know about the "lefty community". I do know that I'm not making any of those arguments. See my post addressed to jem, if you are interested in any of the arguments I have made in favor of not intervening in the politics of other countries.

You can argue that if you have no information then you have no basis for a decision and the default position should be not to let them in. There is some merit to that argument. But it would be made much stronger if there were any numbers to show, for example, what is incidence, so far, of...

Jem, screening of immigrants will always be imperfect. We will never be able to eliminate the possibility of those who immigrate becoming radicalized after they are here. We may be able to improve our screening. It may be that we need to reconsider who we let into the country. Nevertheless...

jem, this is an emotional rather than logical response. It is understandable nevertheless. When we grow up we don't lose our empathy nor our emotions, but we are better able to understand. This is a horrible tragedy for those directly affected. We must not however, under any circumstance, no...

You are absolutely right. Except you should have written "You'd", not "you'll". Why?, because I am human. Of course these events are terrible for those directly affected. This has nothing to do with "liberal" or "conservative", political philosophy. You present yourself as a poorly educated...

Okay, at least there is some reasoning here. Is this opinion supportable with any real observations or statistics? That could really strengthen your argument.

Jem, hadn't that guy been in the country for like ten years? Including 9/11, how do the chances of being killed in a terrorist attack in this country compare with the chances of being struck by lightning? Does anyone know...

Dear Mayor DeBlasio: Orange Alert! My very best regards, Imam Mohammad Tawhidi

After I posted the comment on Rupert Murdoch below, I recalled that famous passage in Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" where he mentions the "invisible hand." Of course I couldn't remember the quote word for word, only its substance, so I looked it up; it only occurs once in the entire work...

The problem for you here, jem, is that bribery is well defined in the law, and so far as anyone has been able to show, the required elements of bribery are not present in the transactions that led to the earning of speaking fees by the Clintons and in some cases large contributions to the...

Your post made very little sense to me. Couldn't follow your reasoning; thus the "?". Here is a handful of comments which may help to explain why I could not follow your reasoning. In Order: 1) Bankruptcy of a State or City is quite different from bankruptcy in the private sector, which your...

So, as I and others have pointed out, you are spreading innuendo, not facts. So Jem, I have to ask you this, why do you persist in doing this? Why not check things out for yourself? Even though the internet is clogged with disinformation and false information, almost always the truth can be...
