  1. Secularism is a religion and those who want a "communist/socialist" type of government are fanatical about it. 
  2. He would make a good school administrator. They do not have a clue either. 
  3. So maybe der be two sides to every police brutality video
  4. Work gets done on a ranch. 
  5. Town pride is one reason for High School sports.   Who wants to be part of a medieval study hall which is what schools would look like without sports. Not a lot of morality in schools to begin with but at least with sports you have chance at building a base morality.
  6. The most poisonous “-ism” now infecting Ferguson, Mo., is not virulent racism. It’s viral narcissism. Over the past week and a half, the impoverished St. Louis County suburb has become a magnet for self-absorbed publicity seekers of all colors and agendas. [Hidden Content]
  7. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. Romans 13:13
  8. 1933: Go agianst Hitler and find yourself on the wrong side of the law 2014: Go agianst Obama and find yourself on the wrong side of the law.  [Hidden Content] The Enabling Act of March 1933 had given Hitler enormous power over all Germans in Nazi Germany. It is no coincidence that in the same month the first concentration camp was created at Dachau. Anyone considered to be a threat to Hitler was arrested and issued with a ‘D notice’. The law was ‘adjusted’ to allow the Nazis to effectively determine who was an opponent. Once labelled as such, arrest was inevitable. The development and expansion of various police units – both in uniform and un-uniformed – gave the internal security forces a massive level of power. [Hidden Content]
  9. [Hidden Content] “Fight of the Century” Lyrics Written by John Papola and Russ Roberts   KEYNES Here we are… peace out! great recession thanks to me, as you see, we’re not in a depression Recovery, destiny if you follow my lesson Lord Keynes, here I come, line up for the procession   HAYEK We brought out the shovels and we’re still in a ditch… And still digging. don’t you think that it’s time for a switch… From that hair of the dog. Friend, the party is over. The long run is here. It’s time to get sober!   KEYNES Are you kidding? my cure works perfectly fine… have a look, the great recession ended back in ’09. I deserve credit. Things would have been worse All the estimates prove it—I’ll quote chapter and verse   HAYEK Econometricians, they’re ever so pious Are they doing real science or confirming their bias? Their “Keynesian” models are tidy and neat But that top down approach is a fatal conceit   REFRAIN Which way should we choose? more bottom up or more top down …the fight continues… Keynes and Hayek’s second round it’s time to weigh in… more from the top or from the ground …lets listen to the greats Keynes and Hayek throwing down   KEYNES We could have done better, had we only spent more Too bad that only happens when there’s a World War You can carp all you want about stats and regression Do you deny World War II cut short the Depression?   HAYEK Wow. One data point and you’re jumping for joy the Last time I checked, wars only destroy There was no multiplier, consumption just shrank As we used scarce resources for every new tank Pretty perverse to call that prosperity Rationed meat, Rationed butter… a life of austerity When that war spending ended your friends cried disaster yet the economy thrived and grew faster   KEYNES You too only see what you want to see The spending on war clearly goosed GDP Unemployment was over, almost down to zero That’s why I’m the master, that’s why I’m the hero   HAYEK Creating employment’s a straightforward craft When the nation’s at war, and there’s a draft If every worker was staffed in the army and fleet We’d have full employment and nothing to eat   REFRAIN REPEATS   HAYEK jobs are a means, not the ends in themselves people work to live better, to put food on the shelves real growth means production of what people demand That’s entrepreneurship not your central plan   KEYNES My solution is simple and easy to handle.. its spending that matters, why’s that such a scandal? The money sloshes through the pipes and the sluices revitalizing the economy’s juices it’s just like an engine that’s stalled and gone dark To bring it to life, we need a quick spark Spending’s the life blood that gets the flow going Where it goes doesn’t matter, just get spending flowing   HAYEK You see slack in some sectors as a “general glut” But some sectors are healthy, only some in a rut So spending’s not free – that’s the heart of the matter too much is wasted as cronies get fatter. The economy’s not a car, there’s no engine to stall no expert can fix it, there’s no “it” at all. The economy’s us, we don’t need a mechanic Put away the wrenches, the economy’s organic   REFRAIN REPEATS   KEYNES so what would you do to help those unemployed? this is the question you seem to avoid when we’re in a mess, would you just have us wait? Doing nothing until markets equilibrate?   HAYEK I don’t want to do nothing, there’s plenty to do The question I ponder is who plans for whom? Do I plan for myself or leave it to you? I want plans by the many, not by the few. Let’s not repeat what created our troubles I want real growth not a series of bubbles Stop bailing out loser, let prices work If we don’t try to steer them they won’t go berserk   KEYNES Come on, Are you kidding? Don’t Wall Street’s gyrations Challenge your world view of self-regulation? Even you must admit that the lesson we’ve learned Is more oversight’s needed or else we’ll get burned   HAYEK Oversight? The government’s long been in bed With those Wall Street execs and the firms that they’ve bled Capitalism’s about profit and loss you bail out the losers there’s no end to the cost the lesson I’ve learned? It’s how little we know, the world is complex, not some circular flow the economy’s not a class you can master in college to think otherwise is the pretense of knowledge   REFRAIN REPEATS   KEYNES You get on your high horse and you’re off to the races I look at the world on a case by case basis When people are suffering I roll up my sleeves And do what I can to cure our disease The future’s uncertain, our outlooks are frail Thats why free markets are so prone to fail In a volatile world we need more discretion So state intervention can counter depression   HAYEK People aren’t chessmen you move on a board at your whim–their dreams and desires ignored With political incentives, discretion’s a joke Those dials you’re twisting… just mirrors and smoke We need stable rules and real market prices so prosperity emerges and cuts short the crisis give us a chance so we can discover the most valuable ways to serve one another   FINAL REFRAIN Which way should we choose? more bottom up or more top down the fight continues… Keynes and Hayek’s second round it’s time to weigh in… more from the top or from the ground …lets listen to the greats Keynes and Hayek throwing down
  10. Agreed Side thought:  when crimes are not punished quickly and harshly it helps to promote the police having more stuff for a couple of reasons.  They have a naturally dangerous profession and want to go home to eat cornbread and beans when their shift ends. Not punishing criminals quickly and harshly allows bad guys to network and become more embolden which i turns entices the younger generation to follow in their footsteps.   
  11. Stay classy San Diego 
  12. Men and women think differently.... Men have more physical strength....   Women have more kids....  How did the preacher explain it? Men are like denim  work clothes and women are like a silk pajama. If you wear silk to work your ruin your expensive clothes and if you wear your work clothes to bed you ruin your sleep... 
  13. ECO, I figured yo to be one who would justify the rioting. Learn something new about people everyday.
  14. My friends, if you live in a big metropolitan area, you are one Rodney King or Hurricane Katrina event away from a potential all-out war against your family and property. As in the riots in South Central Los Angeles in 1992, and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005, people in northern St. Louis were subjected to the destruction of their property and the potential loss of life in the aftermath of the shooting of the young man in Ferguson. And, just as was the case in South Central Los Angeles, business owners in northern St. Louis protected their lives and properties with--you guessed it: AR-15-type semiautomatic rifles. Had President Obama and Senator Feinstein had their way a few months back, those people in North St. Louis would have been defenseless against the violent rioters that were attacking them. The presence of the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle saved many a life and much property in Los Angeles, California in 1992, in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005, and in North St. Louis, Missouri in 2014. In any kind of civil unrest, the best protection any of us have is God, the loyalty and dedication of good friends and family members who are willing to protect our backs, and a .223 or .308 semiautomatic battle rifle with loaded, large-capacity magazines. If you don’t have such a rifle, GO BUY ONE NOW! If you don’t have enough ammo, go buy it now. And if you live in a State or city that won’t let you buy one, MOVE! Add to the chaos of civil unrest caused by either man-made or natural disasters the fact that the U.S. government is unloosing hundreds of thousands--maybe millions--of violent illegals into our country, and anyone who is not well-armed for his or her own protection is downright foolish. According to Texas State officials, there have been nearly a half-million felonies committed by illegals during the last four years IN THE STATE OF TEXAS ALONE--including over 5,000 rapes and over 2,000 murders. Remember, these are crimes committed by illegals alone in the State of Texas alone. Border Patrol agents are warning us that violent Mexican gang members, many of whom have already committed murder, are being allowed free access into the heartland of America. Texas State Senator Dan Patrick recently reported that his State now has over 100,000 illegal immigrant gang members. Again, that’s just in Texas. The crime rate across the United States has been declining for years, and is currently at its lowest level in recent history. But watch out! Violent illegal gang members, including members of one of the most violent and notorious gangs ever, MS-13, are pouring into this country. The crime rates in communities across America are about to explode. There is no way that local police agencies are going to be able to protect you. And, in truth, that is not their job. It is your job to protect yourself, dear friend. And you are not going to protect yourself from marauding rioters or a gang of violent gang members with a six-shot revolver. Oh, the handgun is fine defense for one or two attackers; but for more than that, you need a large-capacity semiautomatic battle rifle. How many examples of civil unrest do you need to convince you? I guess the one that breaks out next to your neighborhood, huh? Of course, the federal government is allowing these violent illegals into our country KNOWING the crime and havoc they will unleash on this country. They WANT violence and havoc to be unleashed on this country. They must raise the crime rates in America in order to justify the expansion of the national Police State they are determined to construct. But in the meantime, tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of Americans are going to be beaten, paralyzed, robbed, raped, and murdered. We don’t have to make it easy for these two-legged beasts: we can and should be an armed and ready populace capable and determined to protect our families, friends, neighborhoods, and communities: anything less in un-American, unmanly, and, un-Christian. There's a bunch more in my syndicated column, which will be released tomorrow (Thursday, August 14). The title of the column is, "Police Abuse, Riots, And AR-15 Rifles." I hope you will read it.  [Hidden Content]

  18. And that is just your interpretive opinion and not factual at all.  ;) :)
  19. Interesting read about feminism from the child of a leading feminist. [Hidden Content]   She's revered as a trail-blazing feminist and author Alice Walker touched the lives of a generation of women. A champion of women's rights, she has always argued that motherhood is a form of servitude. But one woman didn't buy in to Alice's beliefs  -  her daughter, Rebecca, 38.  Here the writer describes what it was like to grow up as the daughter of a cultural icon, and why she feels so blessed to be the sort of woman 64-year-old Alice despises  -  a mother.

  21. Do your best not to get divorced is the advice I give. 
  22. Why are you so afraid of subjective moral reasoning? (Do you lock your door at night?)   [Hidden Content]
  23.   Compromising on morals will do that and to your last statement, agreed. Did you read the link
