Ouch. The problem with a large security apparatus is the same as the problem with the IRS. It can and will be used by the executive branch as a blunt instrument against political opponents both individual and large organizations. We can see it happening with the IRS but we cannot see the...

It is heading in that direction I think. They may not put people in an actual prison but they will force them into a sort of poverty/servitude.

Its a big deal. It means that upon short-sale the holder of the second can obtain a deficiency judgement and garnish wages, seize assets in bank accounts (and brokerage accounts) and possibly seize personal property. More likely is that they sell that debt downstream to collection agencies who...

Same FBI that accused the wrong guy of mailing envelopes of anthrax? Same FBI that accused the wrong guy of placing a backpack bomb at the Olympic Park in Atlanta? Same FBI that failed to interdict the 9/11 terrorists? Same FBI that failed to detect and apprehend Snowden? Same FBI used by...

As a scientist I am troubled at the notion of "fine tuning". To my thinking and limited human imagination the universe is a condensate of cooling material that coalesced from the quantum miasma present after the big bang. The fact that our mathematics and physics present certain constants that...

Done well for her country? Exactly how has she done well for her country? So far she botched diplomatic relations with Russia, allowed terrorists to overrun an embassy compound murdering our ambassador and destroyed the reputation of the Department of State by trading arms for donations to her...

I can help here. :D Don't worry about US laws, rules or regulations. Simply ignore them and live as you please (once you are setup to do so of course). If you can make liberals pay for it at the same time it is particularly sweet. I wake up laughing to be honest and it has been a few years...

Well I meant reptilian in the sense that she lacks any actual compassion or character. She just watches.... then regurgitates some appropriate response. Look, this woman compromised national security by running an email server at home with classified data on it. Any one of us would land in...

Anybody who believes this hasn't been around ET for very long. I'm calling bullshit.

More troubling is the state department headed by Hillary was approving arms shipments to countries that contributed to her foundation. The woman is completely corrupt and devoid of any beliefs of any kind. She will do or say anything in the pursuit of money or power. When I look into those...

We're in a relatively warm period between ice ages. Our history is going to look pretty silly when all mankind is confined to the ice free region between 20 degrees North and 20 degrees South latitude and most of the human population is gone. The good new is that our history will not likely be...

At some point the left will begin to collaborate with the Caliphate. At that point I will regard them as I would any terrorist. They may even carve out part of the USA for themselves like Vichy France. Of course, once they are able to the islamofascists will slaughter liberals wholesale.

Israel. We supported Israel. Personally I believe that if Israel had never been formed we would still be having problems with muslims. They would simply fall on something else as the reason behind their terrorism and brutality. They have been a problem for the world since long before 1948...

Its time for the middle east to meet an old friend:

Meaning that the Earth has been swinging between cold and hot in a wider band than has been seen since since the existence of human industry. I believe that what is going on here is that in the modern era mankind has begun to eschew traditional religions but a significant percentage appear to...

I can buy avocados at the grocery store year round but the US has been racking up record trade surpluses.

There was at least one very outspoken ET member who was pushing that stuff. He got hammered down here in P&R pretty much every time he posted. His nick was AMT4SWA. My personal belief is that the Truthers exhibit some modern yet-to-be-identified form of mass psychosis. The Warmists also...

The leftists decided some time ago that they would do anything to win including illegally packing the country with immigrants who they think will vote democrat. Democracy failed at that moment. I no longer regard any political outcomes as legitimate and certainly don't have any respect for the...

A responsible administration concerned with the safety of Americans would have cranked up the sanctions and possibly blockaded Iranian ports until they gave up their weapons program or were overthrown.

Yep, Ramadi is falling... actually the entire Anbar Province. Obama is going to have to re-invade Iraq and everyone knows it. That is unless he has already ceded Iraq to Iran which is certainly possible. Obama's failure to leave a mere 10,000 troops in-country is going to cost him (and every US...
