Here's the hilarious daily show video. http://realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/08/13/daily_show_race_card_is_maxed_out.html

This is impossible to know without a comprehensive poll and survey. One Catholic church can be very strict and intolerant while another can be open and accepting.

You need to look at the real world. After the US drove the taliban out of office in Afghanistan there was no longer any enforcement of the ban on poppy cultivation nor on opium use (Surprisingly the Taliban made it illegal to cultivate poppy and use it). You said you thought all drugs should...

Do you think there would be similar rates of drug use when other more addictive/hard drugs come into play? By the way, I don't have a problem with the legalization of cannabis, only drugs that have historically shown to destroy entire countries.

Exactly. The cartels aren't interested in making sure everyone can smoke weed. They are interested in making massive profits. If marijuana is legalized the ability to hold a monopoly through violence and profit off that drug will decrease and they will switch to whatever is profitable.

If addictive drugs become legally regulated then they would become more accessible. Would 25% of the country be obese if the only way they could get fattening food was through drug dealers? I doubt it. Now compare the psychological and physical addiction power between food and hard drugs...

Around the year 1900 just about every drug under the sun was legal. The rate of those addicted to drugs during this time comprised 2-5% of the entire country. That rate is much higher than it is today. Correlation? I think so. Somehow I have problem agreeing with the statement that the...

The only reason Iran makes their weekly remarks about destroying Israel and the west is to increase patriotic fervor. Without creating the illusion and threat of total annihilation the political leaders would be shot. Fear is quite manipulative.

He owned it when he escalated it months ago.

Even a bum on the street knows we have the most powerful military in the world. Therefore people will attribute failure in Afghanistan to politicians and military leaders, not the actual military. Your argument is like telling a blind person to shoot at targets from a far range with the most...

It was a wet dream to the left when Bush was president. Now it's a huge threat to them politically because they are in danger of being perceived as weak on foreign policy. Think about it. Obama adds a relatively small troop surge. He then optimistically proclaims that the war will be won...

My guess is that McChrystal would rather resign due to insubordination then take the fall for the failure in Afghanistan once Obama starts withdrawing next year. I am starting to think the only person who thinks we can win in Afghanistan is Obama. News flash, 90% of the afghan trained...

You do realize 100 is considered the average?

I always hear that but is there actually any empirical evidence? I don't support it or doubt it because I have never seen any research. To say that the character trait of denial is responsible for all hatred against gays is a bit of an over generalization.

Looks like peil has been to Uganda recently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V9-y0QWSGY

I am not defending Republicans, I am stating that both parties have sub groups that conflict with each other. Can't you admit that the Democratic party has sub groups that disagree?

Could you not say that registered Democrats are then hypocrites because they are in a party that has groups that want to give individuals the right to smoke weed while other groups want to create large programs that force individuals to pay higher taxes? There are many pacifists in the...

All political parties will always have leaders who are hypocrites because there will never be a large group that agrees on everything. However you cannot say the group abides by hypocrisy because it is an organization of smaller groups. It's like calling the state of California a hypocrite.

I think the Republican party should be happy that some minor semi-legitimate administration issues are being fed into the minds of the base instead of having their far right elements fantasize about birther cases.

Your making the mistake of putting fiscally conservative individualists in the same group as bible thumping social conservatives. The two are apples and oranges.
