- I'm still a little puzzled that no one on the right here is outraged that the party of family values, the moral majority, the party of god, is parading out this admitted adulterer, fornicator, ethical reprobate as a candidate for president? To me, this is illuminating regarding what the party is …

- And here I thought Egypt turned a corner of sorts with the Arab Spring----. How disappointing. "My god says when you make an image of his prophet I get to burn your house down. I do this in his name". Is that the thinking? I wonder how different the US be if some here had their way?

- I see -- so Perry now embraces the "sanctity of all life" but has sent some 253 people to state sponsored execution in his Texas? Cameron Todd Wilberham(sp) was likely innocent -- but he would not even review the evidence and fired the commission that developed the information.

Comments & Feedback

walks-upright - Regarding your comment below. I responded for the public view and did not want to add to the controversy, but wanted to give your something to look at. If you examine the comments on this article you will note the pattern of voting. In normal commentaries people vote in agreement with each other's comments and ideas, pro for pro and con for con, each finding some common agreement. You even have people arguing points and have comments being removed by the group. In these comment you find almost no one voting for anyone and no one conceding a point. They are too busy pushing forward their own observations and theories. Just something, although again, not very scientific, to look at. Just my observations, not trying to shove things down your throat. Regards, Katz.

I think that there is a full moon tonight, or slightly waning. Other than that unhelpful but accurate observation --what's your point?

Is it that a substantial amount of clearly intelligent people on this post do not believe what they are told by their government in this case -- and that notwithstanding the lack of credible evidence --you believe we are "tilting at windmills"?Or, is it that folks with doubts about this are also of the same ilk that subscribes to all of the things you list -- a generalization I think you will have trouble backing up.
