Eh, I wouldn't be opposed to it really. If it must crumble as a result, let it, although I don't think it would. What they really need to do though is scrap the vetoes. Who will enforce the rulings? The rulings don't really get enforced anyway, do they? It's all pretty much effectively voluntary. -...

This is incorrect. Vindman is military. He was not fired, he was reassigned. and how much you want to bet that he will not be selected for Colonel and be forced to retire. For all intents and purposes, he's fired. Sorry, that's not nearly the same. Someone who's fired doesn't get to keep their seni...

There is no solution that the Palestinians will accept that also doesn't include: Return of all lands they consider theirs. Recognition that the Capital of Jerulsalem is the Palestinian Capital. Palestine needs to figure out that the above is NOT going to happen and be willing to accept that they n...

there's no arguing that the eugenics movement in the US was championed by progressives Sure, around the same time that the Party of Lincoln was involved in freeing slaves / reconstruction. You know, before they adopted the Southern Strategy of openly embracing racism. Parties change. Arguing about ...

The only fact here is that the Dems will reap what they sow. Get they still won't learn a thing though. The parallels between the US and the UK are absolutely striking here - with the core difference being that we've just relied on the ballot box and the electorate to settle things, rather than a f...

I challenge her to go to Beijing and shame-talk the Communist Party. She won't, of course, because she is not committed enough to her cause to risk being put in prison. No, she goes only where it is easy and where people won't hold her accountable for her words and actions because of her age. I sus...

None of those things have anything to do with the law. Disapproving of abortion is not the same thing as actively protecting and encouraging illegal aliens to remain within the country. Not performing same-sex marriages is not the same as harboring fugitives. If you want the government handout, you...

Ah, well there's part of the problem. You don't understand my position towards religion. I have no issue with religion in the public purview whatsoever. I take issue with an organization that relies on government handouts aiding and abetting law breakers. I agree with you 100%. However the governme...
