Re: Criminal Conservatives?

For a more detailed analysis of what Bob and the other leftist elites are really saying---> I wouldn’t say Republicans in general are criminal. The Nixon and Trump administrations had their moments, sure, but not in general. We do have Republican efforts to promote European religious doctrines and ...

Bridge Collapse

I ran into an analysis of the bridge collapse the other day. Don't know if it will hold up but got me thinking. It turns out that the turning of propellers induce the ship to turn. A normal clockwise turn causes a ship to veer left, while going in reverse causes it to go right. When the power went o...

Define Sentient

Provide reproductive health care. Killing innocent babies in the womb is not "reproductive health care." It has nothing at all to do with health care. We can argue about whether killing innocent babies should be allowed, but we should use accurate terminology. I.E, respect the science. Define senti...

Generational Dynamics and Gaza

So are you pro-Hamas? No. Neither am I for the Israeli attempt to expel the Palestinians from Gaza. Neither side is covering itself in glory. Both are using racial / religious prejudices to justify genocide, murdering the innocent and bombing hospitals. The basic idea from Generational Dynamics is ...

n a way, Marx was right. The only way to force a king, czar or dictator out of power is through force, through revolution. Alas, what he got wrong was that the revolutionaries would advocate power for the revolutionaries, not for the people. If you don’t insert the Enlightenment principles in the re...

The Left always eats its own.
The conservatives always collapse. The problem is solved. America improves. Colonial imperialism no more, slavery no more, authoritarian expansion resisted, bigotry resisted. It is the conservatives who end up getting eaten.

:shock: Why America will not survive much longer. Welcome to leftist America. Death is the only way out. America does not remain the same. Every S&H crisis the conservatives try to maintain the problem, the progressives try to fix it, the conservatives fail, and in the following high the new values...

Applause

No one should be applauding what has happened to Trump or his associates. Our country is so divided that we should all be sure we are standing for the "traditional" rule of law and we should not be accepting any ruling that has politicized the law no matter what side of the political spectrum we ar...

Russia v Ukraine

Putin is preparing for a full-scale war against NATO countries, - Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Putin is struggling to fight Ukraine to a standstill. It takes a lot less effort to threaten NATO than to fight it. I think any further expansion will wait on Ukraine's fall and will not be again...

Cycles

In 1995, America was doing so well economically that even liberals lost sight of things beyond consumerism. Who cares about community, meaning, heritage, identity, when the Pepsi-Cola tastes so good? And look, Windows 95 is a terrific improvement on Windows 3.1 - this society works! Everything is g...
