Re: Social Conservatism

Yah, well, this is why you're boned. Thus, no one in this field makes the conservative heart go pitter-patter. Those who dislike this assessment have one option: breed better conservative babies who will grow into impressive traditionalists to lead us in the future. As for 2012, this is the sad rea...

Re: North American Thread

My dear Marcus, I'll try to give you an answer based on what I know and live. The Hijab is mentioned in the Quran but not as a burkha or shadour. Hijab literarily means a 'concealer' derived from the verb 'Yahjob'. The Quran says: And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and...

Re: The Great MF Global Robbery: By the Regulators??!!

So, according to what I've read on this thread, it sounds like JP Morgan just stole money from MF Global's customers, with a bit of assistance from MF Global and regulators. I would imagine MF Global's customers may have grounds to sue JP Morgan. My father was a Washington Mutual depositor who beca...

Re: Will Republicans/"Conservatives" Support Obama over Paul

He will be pilloried from all sides. His newsletters will disillusion most left supporters and his anti-war stance makes the right shaky. He is, and will be, successfully labeled a lunatic. Paul's best path is to asseverate his beliefs well enough so as to finish a strong second , thereby leaving h...
