We may be in trouble going forward then...

Margaret Sanger's eugenics program against poor minorities may be working after all, noddy. Long live Roe vs. Wade! Combine that with the explosion in the number of lower-class Americans under incarceration, and there you have your drop in the crime rate.

Today, NPR tried to convince me that the real threat to our nation's harmony is not nihilistic youths who are murdering, raping, and robbing tens of thousands of people each year, but neighborhood watch groups who get a little too overzealous in protecting their neighborhoods from them. I learned th...

I also enjoy the fact that people who champion an enlightened, post-gender point-of-view on this issue are arguing for this nice lady to be allowed into one of the most gender-regressive events in the world.

It's hilarious that people are debating whether or not to let a man into a woman's beauty contest (even more ridiculous than that, in 2012, we still have beauty contests at all).

I would vote for shim.

You seem to think your tactic of simply denying, denying, denying everything is clever, but it's transparent to everyone that reads your posts. I do not characterize your positions based on nothing, but on your own words. The cheesy cop out you use to avoid commitment, countering everything with &qu...

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I'm more excited about this one than I've been for awhile (I'm going to see it tomorrow and will provide a full review):

I mean, you yourself admit that young black males rob, rape, beat, and kill far more than their share of innocent people. Whoa, whoa. Sounds like you're "increas[ing] racial resentment, deepen[ing] racial division, and reinforcing racial suspicion," there. Are you sure you're using the wo...

You know, in a way, we have parallel developments here. On one hand, you have people like Zimmerman, who are always on the lookout for burglars and thugs, and who, unsurprisingly, end up seeing them everywhere and having that shape their experience and reinforce their preconceptions. On the other ha...

A good case. A lot of it sounds like excuse-making and romanticizing what is more likely a run-of-the-mill case of the party in power wanting to buy off the electorate to stay there, but a good rant nonetheless. I'm a cynic who is deaf to what you're saying, but I simply have trouble believing that,...

I really don't like residential real estate as an investment. Maybe owning an apartment building in a neighborhood you think will become fashionable, something like that, but the bottom line is that our population, in places, will likely be falling over the next several decades or, if it doesn't fal...

I mean, you yourself admit that young black males rob, rape, beat, and kill far more than their share of innocent people. You simply think it's Mitt Romney's fault that they do so. And maybe it is. But your position still absolves the cop or neighborhood watchman who makes the rational decision to b...

I have an agenda as well. It should be clear. It is to counter the opportunists and race baiters who take every opportunity increase racial resentment, deepen racial division, and reinforcing racial suspicion, thereby maintaining their own relevance (or, in the case of the professionals, their own ...

Who is this guy? I gotta follow you on Twitter.

For all I know... Finally! I've been waiting six pages for you to utter that phrase. Perhaps now some rational dialogue is possible. It is extremely dishonest of you to claim that I have asserted absolute certainty about any of the details of this case. Again, what is the motivation for your false ...

I saw a blogger today ask a good question: There are plenty of incidents, in a diverse country of 300,000,000 people, that are clearly examples of brutal and unacceptable racist violence, any one of which could be used by the opportunists in the race-victimization industry to further their narrative...

The testimony of the policeman on the scene that Zimmerman was grass-stained and bleeding from his nose and head, is as hard as any evidence in this case. You are the one putting up videos taken of Zimmerman, possibly hours later, as evidence that he wasn't hurt at all simply because there is no blo...

No hard evidence of Zimmerman's injuries? What are you talking about? Why would the police, who wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter, lie in their on-scene report? He is described by the officer as bleeding from his nose and back of his head, with his back covered with grass stains. That is...

Mary Cutcher and her roommate did not see the incident. They heard screams that they thought sounded like they were coming from a "little boy". Neither of the two were little boys, and the neighbor's 911 call, in which the screams can be heard in the background, demonstrates that the screa...

The investigating officer initially recommended a manslaughter charge for Martin, but the state's attorney, after reviewing the evidence, decided it was insufficient to charge Zimmerman with a crime. Ibrahim, the holes in the story you are filling with assumptions are as bad as the people insisting ...
