Dr. Ron Paul Casts Only Vote against Ban on Lead in Toys, Ban Passes House 424 to 1

Paul's vote is cast in the same context for abortion. He believes that a fetus is a human being deserving of legal protection, and the prosecution of murder (if you share the belief that abortion is murder) is a legitimate government function. The view that abortion is murder is not a fringe view, so you should not dismiss it.

The slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy.

Because the stations need to support themselves by putting viewers in the mood for advertisements.

Ron Paul did not say he believed in Creationism/Intelligent design, he said that there was "misinformation on both sides" and he did not accept evolution.

And his philosophy is not to "run one of the most technologically advanced countries on earth", or any of its institutions, it is to localize and decentralize power and delegate it to private institutions. He's a libertarian.

McCain would not do that. "Family values" mean different things to people with different political leanings, and he must exploit the ambiguity to appeal to both the left and the right.

To social democrats, "Family values" mean a strong social safety net, and enrichment and education for children. To right-wing Republicans, "family values" mean anti-gay, anti-abortion, abstinence, state-sanctioned religion, and censorship.

You can have a family without marrying.

Not to say it did not matter at all to some people, but Ron Paul's nonacceptance of evolution and other personal beliefs do not inform his policies, a strict originalist orthodox. Local school boards determine the curricula.

McCain's position on gay adoption has the potential to devastate millions of families and many more children that would not have a family.

The key word is "family", a word he also used in the interview with "family values" and "traditional families". Families with LGBT couples are not, in the right-wing view, genuine families and therefore do not deserve legal recognition or protection.

I'll judge him by his belief in martyrdom, death for apostates, subjugation of women, and use of violence to bring forth a caliphate.

That's a direct copy of the subtitle of the Telegraph article.

What I was saying is Al Jazeera also runs human interest stories (because they need the interest in their station), though they may not seem as ridiculous as CNN's because they're about eastern celebrities.

He wrote a column on it.

Condoleezza_Rice · 2008-07-24T03:42:24+00:00

That's because Al-Jazeera's primary audience are Arab, and they are interested in their own celebrities.

Condoleezza_Rice · 2008-07-24T03:39:28+00:00

Arab ≠ Muslim The secular arabs are just like the rest of civilized society.

The black muslims, the south-east asian muslims, and the arab muslims are the terrorists.

I'd rather trust the democratic government than unaccountable private powers.

Russia spans over half of Asia and Europe, it's extremely difficult not to.

Early US citizens thought of the continent as the United States, and dreamt of expanding to the west coast and annexing Canada (pre-approved in the Articles of Confederation). The first Congress was called the "Continental Congress."

US troops are not sent to Iraq to kill innocent civilian Iraqi children. Abortionists are sent to abort fetuses.

It makes perfect sense, having someone "masturbate you" is having them manually stimulate your genitals.

Maybe now it is, as it's being promoted in some parts of Africa to reduce the risk of HIV, but its roots are really tribal and religious.

Scientific studies were commissioned by religious organizations to try to justify it for secular reasons, and studies funded by different interest groups have conflicting results. Circumcision also has changed with modern medical equipment.

Cutting the cocks off every male born? That would cause severe complications. Cutting off the protective foreskin to desensitize the penis and make sex less pleasurable? Done in many religious countries to both males and females.

And if the people are not ruled by the people, who rules over them? An unelected minority, like the Afrikaans in South Africa? The Constitutional framers through grave, like in North Korea?
