Here is a big one. The assumption that living things can spontaneously spring from Magic Soup. Before Louis Pasteur, scientists believed that this was a commonplace event. Reality is that humankind has never observed such a thing.
"Chimpanzees are genetically closer to us that they are to the other great apes..." That means DNA is essentially irrelevant to the question of intelligence.
Michael Porter graduated first in his mechanical engineering class at Princeton, and has a PhD in economics from Harvard. His book on Competitive Strategy is one of the few texts from my MBA program that I refer to on a regular basis. Your characterization of him as "dimwitted" is laughable.
Every dollar of corporate tax is built in to the cost of the good or service they offer to us, so *we* actually pay corporate taxes. Politicians love indirect taxes like this because you don't see the line item for taxes. If it was up to me, you would get one tax bill per year. No sales taxes, income taxes, property taxes, corporate taxes, personal property taxes, or any of the rest. On 4/15 you would get a bill payable immediately for your share of the bloated leviathan into which our government has morphed. Then we would see some serious discussions on spending.
The first trillion dollars of debt the US government ran up took over 205 years. The latest trillion only took 403 days. We are in deep kim chi.
My day job is working on SSD controllers for a major NAND producer. I have never heard of this. I don't think an OS is going to be able to micromanage SSDs, especially in an enterprise data center.
1. Back in 1961 people of color were called 'Negroes.' The Obama 'birth certificate' states he is "African-American". That nomenclature wasn't even used at that time. Not until the mid-1970s was "African-American" listed.
2. The birth certificate that the White House released
The Certificate shows Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. The Certificate shows Barack Hussein Obama as his father.
The Certificate shows his father is 25 years old, at his "Time of Birth"
The Certificate shows Obama's father was born in " Kenya, East Africa". Kenya did not even exist until December 1963, two years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. Obama's father could not have been born in a country that did not yet exist.
The independent Republic of Kenya, Africa was founded in December 1963. Up until then, legally and politically, the region around Kenya was known as "British East Africa Protectorate".
3. The Birth Certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital".
In 1978 Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children was opened. This facility was two separate hospitals in 1961, and were called "Kapi'olani Maternity Home" established 1890; and "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" opened in 1909. The names did not change until 1978, when these two hospitals merged to become Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children. So, what was the name of the hospital on the OFFICIAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE dated 1961?

She did not self-destruct. She was destroyed. Had she been treated with the diffidence shown Obama, you would think she was the smartest woman on the face of the planet.
I don't agree that taxes should be progressive. The poor get to vote, so they should bear the consequences of voting for tax-and-spend politicians. And I believe that the federal government should be put on a massive diet. Our country did just fine before the income tax and the massive growth of the Leviathan it spawned.
No, by dramatically slashing spending on social programs. End the welfare state. If Congress only spent on activities authorized by Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution, we would be far, far more prosperous and freer. Poor people should be helped by charity, not by robbing the productive at gunpoint.
You forgot the deep blue state of OR utterly rejecting drivers licenses for illegal aliens. The best by far: the phrase "former senate majority leader Reed"
Before the media decided she should be destroyed, she had the highest approval rating of any governor. She is extremely bright. If the media focused on Obama's many, many blunders, you would think he was a complete retard. What about conservative women and minorities so infuriates the left?
BJ Clinton was impeached, lost his law license, sold nuclear secrets to China for campaign contributions, and should be a registered sex offender. It was hilarious to see him give the keynote address at the DNC "war on women" event. The irony was completely lost on democrats.
About 5% of the US population identifies as atheist. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in any of our legal founding documents. It was pulled from a letter that Jefferson wrote to a church assuring them freedom of religion since there would be no official state religion. The great majority of the initial wave of immigration to the America was from European countries that required people to join the state religion, and they immigrated seeking religious freedom.
You have no idea what you are talking about. When RR took office, the prime interest rate was over 20%, mortgage rates were about 18%, inflation was running at 13%, there were long lines to buy gasoline and the cost of heating skyrocketed. By the time he left office in 1989, 18 million new jobs had been created, inflation was cut to 4%, interest rates were cut in half, the Federal Registry of regulations had half the number of pages, and the Iron Curtain had come down. Reagan freed millions people from tyranny. He was a hero.
Nonsense. At this moment the post following yours is from an AC ruminating about Romney's private parts. My dream ticket would be Cruz/Palin. I disapprove of the spineless simpering wimps running the Republican party almost as much as I do the shrieking leftists that have replaced the Democrat party of JFK.

Not dimwitted is not the same as infallible. By your standard, everyone is dimwitted, which is just dimwitted.

So now we impugn law officers for protecting themselves? Unbelievable.
Sounds like eastern Oregon. Miles and miles of deserted roads, deserted except for state troopers running radar on rural roads marked 55 MPH.
The two are not mutually exclusive.

Maybe you could cite a single combative interview with Obama? The media treated him with kid gloves from day one.
Nice straw man. I never said keep spending high. That is your projection. I would love to see government spending reduced to 15% of GDP.
She did not self-destruct. She was destroyed. Had she been treated with the diffidence shown Obama, you would think she was the smartest woman on the face of the planet.

I never said anything about whether hydrocarbons are easy to make or not. Congratulations on mastering the straw man argument.

Of course he is. Natural born citizen. US mother. And his birth certificate is not a sloppy forgery.

You must have missed the last election. Democrats were shellacked.
