So, you consider it mere "semantics" to make a distinction between an "enemy" and an "opponent"? For your consideration: One wishes to defeat an...
Perhaps you truly believe that making a distinction between an "enemy" and a mere opponent is just "grasp[ing]" at "straws." Sad. Very sad...
It used to be that people made a distinction between an "enemy" and a mere opponent. Evidently, that is no longer the case...
Just this morning, Attorney General William Barr appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. The Democrats on that committee, however, seemed...
Biden was asked, again, for an interview with Chris Wallace; and, again (predictably enough) he declined. Obviously, his handlers do not wish...
I am seriously tempted to refute your points--most would be very easy to refute, in fact--but the fact remains that you have originated your rants...
It is a logical fallacy to confuse the general with the specific. To assert that what George W. Bush once did (in 1999, yet) with what...
(1) Sadly, it is unlikely--anytime in the foreseeable future, anyway--that Roe v. Wade will be repealed. (2) Those "back alley" abortions are...
Since you evidently make a distinction here, it seems fair enough to ask: At what point of development would you consider an unborn child to be...
The cryptic words, "Baby Lives Matter," were just painted (in blue and pink) on the street in front of Planned Parenthood in Salt Lake City....
This misses (perhaps intentionally?) the central point of my post, viz.: In the 1860s, one was expected to give one's primary allegiance to one's...
National Review has an interesting article on the subject of this pardon. Basically, it thinks badly of this pardon; but it also thinks badly of...
Today I watched Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Ordinarily, I like Chris Wallace; he is usually a straight shooter--just as hard on...
I have noted--which you quoted--the different reasons why people may embrace the Confederate flag. To claim otherwise is to oversimplify a rather...
It is really not useful to throw around, promiscuously, such a word as "traitor" (or "treasonous," either). It does nothing helpful to heal the...
Well, someone was "needed" to harvest those crops. But I will reiterate: Need does not equal moral justification. Where do you get the...
The fact that they were needed does not morally justify the institution of slavery. The plantation owners could have made the position...
For starters, your quotes around needed appear to suggest that I am attempting to justify the institution of slavery--which I have elsewhere...
You make a fair point as regarding the swastika: It is an ancient symbol, which was not always looked upon with disgust, prior to Adolf Hitler's...
I am talking about Confederate soldiers, overall. This would include both groups, and average them together. Perhaps in the early 1860s,...
It is true that if the Confederacy had prevailed, race-based slavery (which is no worse than any other form of slavery, it seems to me) would have...
It is true, in my opinion, that President Trump is instigating anger in his base. But it should also not be overlooked that Nancy Pelosi, Chuck...
I am really not convinced that this had to do with a desire for a "white supremacist future," so much as it had to do with an anger over the...
I have several annuities; and I like them because I can never outlive them. (They are a guarantee for life. No doubt, they are based upon...
The nearby Exxon station today--July 4, as I write this--was selling regular gasoline for 10 cents per gallon less than it was just yesterday....
