  1. If the other five already agree, it is a moot point. Speaking of moot points....popular vote?...LOL
  2. Agreed, that is why I watch MSNBC and listen to NPR. I don’t need my ideas to be reinforced, I need them to be challenged. That is why I just spent the last half hour watching “How PragerU Lies to You”
  3. For your sake, I truly hope you are smarter than the producer of this video. Yes I watched the entire thing. Actually it was kind of fun as I debunked nearly every one of his points as he was making them. His two main points? PragerU is not really a university (Duh) and capitalism? BAD. (Yet he fails to offer an alternative) It is thirty minutes of setting up then knocking down a series of out of context straw men. For example he equates the career choices that grown women make to choices made by school aged boys. He claimed that PragerU cannot be trusted because of its right wing bias and in nearly the same sentence he declares his left wing predilections. If this is the best the left can muster, I feel sorry for them.
  4. Prager could repost the Constitution and the folks on the left would claim it was right wing propaganda without even reading it.
  5. Oh no! You have done it now! You have put a mirror in the faces of Democrat hypocrites. They are not going to like that.
  6. As a libertarian I would, of course, be against that but that is why we have nine justices.
  7. And you didn’t even watch the video.....face palm. Why don’t you suck it up and watch the video. If it is as bad as you claim, it will be easy to debunk and you will send me away, running with my tail between my legs. My bet is that you won’t/can’t.
  8. I hope you understand the reason I made that comment was to prevent those meaningless ad hominem on the messenger while ignoring the message. After that post, they couldn’t attack the messenger and pretty much HAD to address the content.....and they did.
  9. Sounds like you have been drinking TedKennedy’s kool-aid Within 45 minutes of Bork's nomination to the Court, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of Bork in a nationally televised speech, declaring: Bork responded, "There was not a line in that speech that was accurate."[7] In 1988, an analysis published in the Western Political Quarterly of amicus curiae briefs filed by U.S. Solicitors General during the Warren and Burger Courts found that during Bork's tenure in the position during the Nixon and Ford Administrations (1973–1977), Bork took liberal positions in the aggregate as often as Thurgood Marshall did during the Johnson Administration (1965–1967) and more often than Wade H. McCree did during the Carter Administration (1977–1981), i
  10. Meanwhile in the Arctic Within the overall decline, it is notable that the most recent 13 years, from 2007 to 2019, have shown very little decline (Figure 3b)
  11. It was a lousy bill, healthcare costs have gone up, not down (like they promised) and we still have nearly 50 million Americans uninsured.
  12. To be clear, I said “it may” as in it may, someday it just hasn’t yet, contrary to the alarmists predictions.
  13. It’s called realpolitik, you need to wear your big boy pants if you want to play. Nancy Pelosi knows, take a look at how Obamacare was passed after Scott Brown took Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate.
  14. Do you mean this? “I predict you won't post an acknowledgement of how incredibly wrong you were.“ given that I just said I was wrong, your prediction falls flat.
  15. So....are you saying, a Graham, Cruz or McConnell voter feels betrayed because the Senators aren’t passing on the opportunity to replace RBG with a Constitutional origialist and instead give Biden a chance? Do you really believe that?
  16. It may, however according to NOAA and the IPCC, it just hasn’t happened yet. The busy 2020 had been attributed to a La Niña event, not global warming.
  17. Actually looking back on what I posted, I mistakenly attributed a Colorado State University prediction to NOAA “The CSU outlook calls for 24 named storms, 12 of which are expected to become hurricanes, and five of those hurricanes becoming major hurricanes – Category 3 or higher” Sticking with NOAA (which we are) I would be wrong thinking that 2020 would not be as active as predicted. The CSU prediction was more generous to me.
  18. Lots of tropical disturbances only eight hurricanes and only two majors. (From Wikipedia) NOAAs latest prediction was that we would have five majors storms. We still have another month+ so I might yet be wrong. If I am, I will gladly admit it. Wouldn’t it be nice if a warming climate resulted in lots of pesky storms and fewer monsters?
  19. Trump was explicit about who he would nominate should there be an opening on the SC. It was one of the reasons many people voted for him. He is just keeping campaign promise. Do you really think if HRC had won and the Ds controlled the Senate that they would have done anything different?
  20. I predict the usual suspects will ignore the content and attack the messenger with something like “Stossel is a racist, climate denier and homophobe and Shellenberger is a shill for the nuclear industry”
  21. Yup, they sowed the wind with Robert Bork and now they are reaping the whirlwind with Trump’s nominees.
  22. Now that Romney has fallen into line, the Ds have no other alternative than to have a Blasey Ford come out and claim she was felt up by whichever female candidate is nominated. Looks like the Ds are out of luck. To paraphrase Obama, “Elections have consequences, and in case there was any Doubt, Trump (and a Republican Senate) won.” Now they will just do what the folks who sent them to Washington elected to do to do.
