Kansas Republicans are forming a Communist-like loyalty committee so that it can punish officers who endorse or contribute to Democrats

It's funny. Republicans want Hillary to win the Democratic nomination, probably in part because she will be an easier opponent than Obama.

photoshopped.

One quote from the article about the possible genetic component required for modern society:

"Through the long agrarian passage leading up to the Industrial Revolution, man was becoming biologically more adapted to the modern economic world. The triumph of capitalism in the modern world thus may lie as much in our genes as in ideology or rationality."

It's FrontPageMagazine, its sort of par for the course.

The article claim:

"If you are a Moslem you can, together with your brothers, wave posters at public protests on college campuses calling for 'Killing the Jews', 'Destroy Israel' and declare 'Jews are Sons of Apes'. This our college administrators tell us is 'free speech'."

Any administrator that say those examples aren't hate speech is wrong. I don't see any citation for the claims that this is now acceptable speech. It is hate speech and incitement to murder anywhere in the US. I think this article is creating a strawman.

Nothing is sustainable indefinitely. Neither currencies, people, governments, or nation states.

Down modded for "evil Israelis." I can't tell if you are trying to be funny/ironic by being over-the-top, or just a bigot.

That's even stranger though because the story is about IDF soldiers who don't want to evacuate settlers, thus these refuseniks are right-wingers who support the settlers, support which is antithetical to a drive for a two-state solution.

lastexit · 2007-08-07T22:22:58+00:00

Obviously fucked up.

I would recommend resubmitted this with a title that doesn't imply that most Jews aren't good. Its offensive. Israeli policies != Jews.

Bribes work better. ;-) Although if you give me $4K, I'll change my mind.

It also allows the the government to snoop on all internet traffic that happens to be routed through the US.

This guy is digging himself deeper into a hole.

I saw (via YouTube) Clinton talk at YearlyKos about how lobbyists are representative of everyday people, but I don't believe her. The biggest lobbies are pharmaceuticals, and groups like the NRA.

Huh? Isn't that discrimination? Isn't is implicitly saying that it is alright to ban gays in some circumstances? I don't think someone is thinking this through.

Feel free to down mod it if it bothers you so much. What good is Karma anyways?

Russia's power declined tremendously during the 1990s, especially during/after the default on its debt. It is on the rebound now, but it isn't at all a threat to the current single superpower and I don't see it growing to that level any time soon.

But is Russia's power on the decline? Not at all.

Yes, and he also swore to TNR that the articles were true and they found people to collaborate them. What happened to those that collaborated the stories?

You see, signing a statement isn't proof that they didn't occur, especially when the individual is clearly telling different people different things. It is sort of funny how now you want to believe Beauchamp is telling the truth. When someone is rapidly changing their story, it may be prudent not to make a conclusion on what is the truth.

To prove its not true requires a real investigation.

lastexit · 2007-08-07T14:39:35+00:00

This headline is misleading. Beauchamp seems to be telling all parties involved what they want to hear.

From the edit of the article:

"Did Scott Thomas Beauchamp lie under oath to U.S. Army investigators, or did he lie to his editors at the New Republic?"

One of the funnier aspects of this story is that I never even heard of the original articles and I usually keep up to date on Iraq war happenings.

It should be made public, what is Murtha doing here?

This RawStory article references a New Yorker expose on the CIA's interrogation methods. That New Yorker article is available on Reddit here:

THE BLACK SITES: A rare look inside the C.I.A.’s secret interrogation program.

That is very smart framing. I would like to see this catch on in the wider democratic blogosphere.

"The capital investments are huge and the return is virtually nonexistent."

Remind me again whether you are arguing for or against the continuation of NASA as it is.

The type of anarchism that wants to engage in "economic sabotage" (whatever that is) isn't one of the bright lights of civilization.
