    The science of contraception is a liberal world view?

    Well, that explains a great deal...

    Obama ends Patriot Act
    Some minor or major terrorist incident happens
    Republicans point to Obama and the Democrats and say they are weak on national security
    Repeat that last step for the next 8 years, at least

    Patriot Act was a gift in perpetuity from your Bush.

    you mean like how critics of the prior administration were unAmerican at best and terrorists at worst?

    Well, it is classified as a munition by the US. If we can't even call bullshit on that, it's pretty much over.

    oh bullshit.

    -bullshit, if your school doesn't have differentiated curriculum, it sucks, not common core
    -bullshit, exploring how math concepts evolved is not that same as "going back to"; "showing your work" has been a part of education forever
    -bullshit, the only people introducing politics are ones like you (who tend to introduce politics or religion into anything they don't like or understand)
    -epic bullshit, doesn't merit a response
    -bullshit, the Texas school board does this

    I lived through New Math decades ago enduring binary, octal, and hexadecimal in 3rd grade, so I have every right to be skeptical of CC. I find it a vast improvement over what was there, but I recognize the consternation of parents who suddenly realize their snowflakes aren't quite so precious.

    "The vast, vast majority of tech engineers that I talked to who are from the United States are very supportive of bringing in people from other countries because they want to work with the very best."

    Ah, so any American engineer who disagrees with you obviously doesn't want to work with the very best, and since most of them are going to disagree with you, they prove your point that they're all mediocre.

    need a citation for Holder being found guilty of tax evasion.

    as for Geitner, that was amply reported, but few acknowledge that is was payroll taxes (Social Security/Medicare) that weren't paid, as distinct from harboring millions in numbered Swiss accounts.

  24. Re:Or maybe ... on The CIA Does Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    you forget that it was all MUTUAL. that has a wonderful self-limiting effect.

    "no one seems to mind" is just your way of saying you don't care and want to have company.
