The tea party tactic of obstructing the government funding in order to bully their agenda into place is EXPLICITLY terrorism. The creation of terror for political gain.
There is a long term trend towards sustainable farming practices. Cows take up vastly more land per lb of protein produced. The trend is to try and move primary protein source towards something more efficient, like sheep or chickens. But you don't get much more efficient than insects.
not all that different in concept than eating shrimp, crabs, or crawfish.
The thing that bothers me the most about it is that insects look like they contain a lot more gut and chitin, and a lot less meaty morsels compared to the other multi-limbed critters we eat regularly.
My opinion of religion is largely unchanged over the last 20 years. The only thing that has really changed is my fear of personal reprisal for not being a christian go down.
No... The definition of questionable here is political orgs attempting to gain a non profit status when they may not (are likely to not) legitimately qualify as such.
And the "invisible hand" of the free market "should" work based on just as shallow of an analysis. But anyone with a deeper understanding of economics knows its just as much total crap as communism is.
Making America a better, more ideal place is a better choice than destroying it and letting chance and the predation of other power determine your future freedoms.
Yes, posing an existential threat to America, the ideals it was founded on and the freedoms it is supposed to represent and protect is a bad thing.
Make no mistake, there is a vast difference between the language they use to describe themselves and the actual effects of the policies they promote. It represents gross misrepresentation and doublethink of Orwellian proportions.
The government exists to represent and protect the people, in gridlock it can do neither. Granted, its doing a piss poor job at the moment, but it isn't going to make progress while gridlocked either.
I am a rational objectivist, a compassionate libertarian, a long term thinker, a capitalist and a socialist, a progressive and a conservative. The average person, and so called libertarians in particular will draw entirely the wrong conclusions from that string of words/phrases because there has been a deliberate obfuscation of the meanings of these words for the political gain of a few.
The specific numbers do not indicate any bias. Not unless you can compare them to the potential number of organizations fitting similar criteria that they DIDN'T go after. It is entirely plausible that there were simply more conservative attempts to found questionable political NPO's.
$1000 includes all parts of a computer, including monitor. Reusing previously bought parts does not greatly reduce the actual cost of the computer as you lose the opportunity to use that other hardware for other purposes.
And that $1000 will likely play all current games at high settings, and have the ability to play foreseeable future games with at least medium settings.
A new generation of consoles is coming out, and the base quality of graphics will rise to meet the abilities of that new hardware, and that may go beyond where your $500 machine can keep up.
It is harm if you think the government should be a benevolent force for good, or at least explicitly not a malevolent force for evil.
It is harm if you believe that the continued existence of America as a nation is a good thing. The tea party traitors are taking actions and have ultimate goals that threaten America.
These days, aim for a price point of $1k with competitively priced components and you are almost certain get a decent gaming rig. PC hardware is far ahead of the curve thanks in part to extreme production costs of high quality graphics, and also in part to console hardware holding back the standard quality settings for multi-platform releases. That will give you medium of better settings at 1080p on all current and foreseeable games.
Obamacare is an abomination, not for the reason that idiot libertarians beleive, but because it is basically just a corporatist handout to the medical insurance industry.
The only true solution to the issue of runaway shortsighted medical industry profiteering is true socialization of the industry.
The tea party HAS had success. They have caused immeasurable financial harm to the United States through the near total obstruction of the operation of congress.
Obama is a conservative Reaganite republican 5th column plant who masqueraded as a liberal during his first campaign. And the only reason we didn't kick is gestapo ass out of office for the second term was that the alternative was even worse.

Quite a few Americans are terrorists. They are called Tea Party members or NSA employees.
Yea... no.
The Democrats may have willingly and knowingly continued the program, but it was started by republicans.
That is why they should code in Ada, forced units of conversion for the win.
because he has less empathy towards them obviously.

A laptop comes with a keyboard and a monitor of adequate size (not always, but most of them do for most purposes).
And what exactly do you mean by digitizer? That term needs disambiguation.
So now Slashdot is illegal in California?
Because no one can delete comments.

They are still competitive on the performance per $ scale, and provide cpu's adequate for almost all standard needs.

Its not bullshit, they went after Occupy and Progressive organizations, not just tea party ones.

There is nothing the ATF and DEA can do that could not be handled by the FBI instead.
Occupy had a number of agenda's
Restoring Glass Steagall for one.
The tea party HAS had success. They have caused immeasurable financial harm to the United States through the near total obstruction of the operation of congress.
They were targeting political groups, both liberal and conservative.
