I think you're exactly right. I don't think we'll ever have all the information, so we'll never know for sure. In the mean time I'll continue to think that "both sides" probably have part of the truth but not all of it....  [Read More]

It may say 'documentary', but just about anything can say it's a documentary and be put up on youtube as if it were fact. Anything can say it's a documentary and be put up anywhere. Fact has nothing to do with it. I'm sure that millions of people eag...  [Read More]

If I recall correctly, the part of the attacks on 9/11 (Or 11.9 for our Europeans) that Bush 'knew' about was the fact that a Terrorist Group was going to hijack a Airliner... Not ram it into the World Trade Center (New York). Mostly correct. The dif...  [Read More]

I'm not saying they can't participate at all, just that an organization whose majority holds an elected position should be treated differently. Why? The people, the state, and the nation. The DNC has members from all three. I'd just like to point ou...  [Read More]

True. Not saying that they should do that, just that if they had, we wouldn't be in this situation. This would be one reason why I see the DNC's rules as flawed. And if Lincoln hadn't gone to the Ford's Theatre, he might have lived a little bit longe...  [Read More]

A constitutional right has been violated. No. It hasn't. You've yet to produce a single argument that supports your assertion. Until you have, repeating this point is not going to make it true. These people have voted. Their votes were not counted....  [Read More]

I'm afraid I can't. Any of us who believe the McSame rhetoric won't be swayed by a trivial Dick comment. If that's the reason then I think the attempt is futile. Meh, but what about casual voters (you know, the ones that still think Obama is a muslim...  [Read More]
