But what about Cruz is "anti-elite" or any more "sane" than Trump? He has already done worse from his seat in the senate. He feeds off and hides behind superPACs like the rest.. If he stands out in any way, it's his own religious extremism and general antipathy.. Otherwise he acts just like any other politician serving a well funded and directed agenda
Their objectives are more geopolitical than economic anyway, aimed at Iran and Russia
And it worked like a charm. This is what makes the Saudis such good "allies". Anyone who says American foreign policy is weak, is talking out their ass. Besides, I still like to think that other energy sources coming on line in a big way is going to keep prices from ever rising above 60 dollars again anyway, so why not have a *going out of business* sale?
What becomes of an abandoned frack well? Are the frackers going to come out and clean up their mess? I don't think you want to hit that rusty old pipe with your new combine.
Hey, what's up over there? Why won't you guys elect an Aboriginal that will legalize weed and subsidize solar powered desalination plants and micro-breweries? *sigh* The paradise you could have... On the other hand, what are the chances of Murdoch winning an election?
If a mob boss tells a hit man that someone needs to be shot dead, is that just words that can't possibly be prosecuted?
Yes, the hit man chose to do the job. He is the only responsible party. He didn't have to follow the order. See, this is the thing. It is the actor that should be punished...
Words inciting violence is a bullshit concept, designed by authority to provide the pretext for censorship. It is impossible. The violent person who commits the act is one to sanction. If he can't control himself, the insanity defense is available. Incitement to violence comes from within, and only from within.
You are wrong. The listener is the only one responsible, for believing false statements and acting in bad faith. The speaker didn't force him. It is a personal choice that no one else should be held to account. Yes, I know I'm in a tiny minority, but it does not invalidate what I say. Either you have free will, or you don't. You shall not blame others for the things you do.
Actually, the way to look at it is as though the real republican/democrat race is happening with the democrat party itself, with Sanders as the democrat. He's not the 'revolutionary' people like to think of him as. If/when Trump gets the nomination, a lot of GOP money will go to Hillary as their next best choice (probably really their first). And if she gets stuck in quicksand, Biden will reenter the race at the party's request. He's semi-republican also, so they (the republicans) won't mind so much. It will be the dem/rep (DNC) candidate vs. Trump. And on top of all else, the regular 50/50 gridlocked congress will protect us from Trump, or any other president. Just keep a wary eye on your hedge funds.
I don't care how false and deliberate the speech. You are not compelled to believe it or respond in any way. The words have no power you don't give. Censorship is an insult to any human who accepts the concept of free will.
Speech (within a certain decibel limit, I suppose) is not a fist. Words cannot incite violence. Violence is a personal choice of everyone in the mob. And defamation is a bullshit excuse to silence critics of powerful people. You, the listener have the obligation to verify what was said before acting against the alleged 'victim' and should be held responsible for the consequences of your actions. Now, if you don't believe in free will, state as much, then ignore this post.
:-) Lesser evil, anyone? It's still a working gag that both sides play as a tag team to scare off any hint of independent voting for somebody else. I'm sure their gratitude for your service and support for the cause is forthcoming.
We should never allow speech to become 'actionable'. If you want to act, do it against the followers, they are the more dangerous part of the equation.

If she is indicted, she will be pardoned. And the jury must disregard any mention of it.
But I have to ask, does Cruz really have more votes than Hillary? That is wild stuff!

Free will is free will, swayed or not.
Incitement to riot is a crime
Yeah, so was freeing the slaves before the civil war. Censorship is always wrong.

Sounds like you get your info from mass media press releases. Republicans and democrats are not in opposition. They just bicker.

What can I say? Business is business. This 'freedom fighter' stuff makes for good soap opera and draws a few more customers, but not much else.
Regardless, we shouldn't be depending on any large company to protect our interests. If you want privacy, you're on your own.

So you are saying all of the wasted gas that wasn't sold and not servicing the stockholders is a good thing?
After the cost/benefit ratio has been done, the answer is 'yes'. The market is saturated.

It has to be able to blend in better, or it's not doing its job.
