Spin Zone / Re: Suicide of GOP -- or its rebirth?

"Whatever one may think of the Donald, he has exposed not only how far out of touch our political elites are, but how insular is the audience that listens to our media elite."

This is true, but also I think he's further exposing just how much our population has dumbed-down.  And it's not just him.  It's the fact that Hillary, Sanders, Trump, etc. are even major contenders.
I have had just about fucking enough of this.

This is the problem with the discourse, I don't agree with you or whoever and I somehow must be fucking stupid. 

I've got a damnned genius level IQ, tested.  I have a 22 year career in engineering and management.  I am a Commercial rated pilot with flight time in more than 40 different make/model aircraft.  I have started and purchased businesses, employed people, managed multi-million dollar programs in the aerospace and defense fields.

I have specific reasons for most of the choices I make in life, and that includes political choices.

This is what is wrong with us as a divided people - it is not just a lack of respect for people of differing opinion, it is an outright pathological compulsion to denigrate them, demean and dismiss them.  Call them names.  Insult their intelligence, to malign their education and to mock their choices with no respect for how or why they arrived there.

It calls to the worst in us and I am fucking sick and tired of it.

Spin Zone / Re: Ben Shapiro Resigns From Breitbart News
« on: March 14, 2016, 07:05:57 AM »
This whole thing is troubling on a number of levels.  There are varying accounts of what happened, and while people do occasionally fall in the press scrum (they get pretty bumpy) this is a specific accusation.

As I said before, if the guy did actually do what has he has been accused of (deliberately pushing her to the ground) he should resign and if he doesn't resign he should be fired - but - in America we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty meaning it should be adjudicated in something more rational than the court of public opinion. 

Shapiro's resignation is a big deal, but so is the Breitbart management decision to ask their employees to stop tweeting about something that is an ongoing story that involves their own people.

Could be that Breitbart Mgmt thinks this story will not end well for Fields (turns out to be an exaggeration vs an actual assault for example) - truth is we don't know yet.

The only thing for sure is that Trump Derangement Syndrome is widespread on our side amongst the scions of the media and the powerbrokers and would be kingmakers.

A large part of Bernie's platform is his Medicare for all plan.  We know for sure that many doctors do not take Medicare.  If Medicare for all becomes the law of the land, does that mean that every doctor will be forced to participate in Medicare?  How is that in line with anything in the Constitution?
What suggests to you that Bernie has read the Constitution?  ;^)

Edited to add two words:  John Fucking Roberts.  OK that was three words but you get the gist.

Good article and right on target.

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea still doesn't get the nature, extent or reasoning of Trump's support and will only serve to further grow and enhance it.

It also promotes a series of stereotypes about all 3 men that don't appear to be borne out in fact IMO.

Just my take, of course...

...but the whole "Dear Leader" shtick is childish and tiresome.

If anyone cares what I think - which is probably an unwarranted assumption right there.

What is it with these dynasty politicians?  Trudeau, Kennedy, Cuomo, Bush, Clinton, etc.  The offspring or spouses should get a fucking real job.

We have a separate, elite political class now, like royalty.  It's what we rebelled against, but the tyranny is back.

He is rather dull.  Unfortunately, charisma matters.  Hence Obama.  All sizzle, no steak.

B.O. is lacking in the sizzle department too.

As crazy as Henning is----Banning him just made no sense.  It appears he just upset the wrong person on the MC though. What a crock that they won't disclose the exact reasons for banning folks.

He must have insulted Bryan.

I sure hope Apple sticks with this.  Enough of trying to force companies to do the governments dirty work.

Spin Zone / Way to Go Tim Cook!
« on: February 17, 2016, 04:30:21 PM »
Who would have thought that the courage to push back on FedGov would have come from the CEO of Apple?

"You know what would be better than prosecuting those who helped the San Bernardino jihadists?  Stopping them, i.e., for the Men in Black to do their goddamned jobs. An arranged marriage to a Pakistani woman who spent years doing...something...in Saudi Arabia?  Those two murderous misfits had more red flags on them than Bernie Sanders's front yard on May Day, and the best minds in American law enforcement and intelligence did precisely squat to stop their rampage. Having failed to do its job, the federal government now seeks even more power - the power to compel Apple to write code rendering the security measures in its products useless - as a reward for its failure."

Nope.  But considering the website and the audience....
But even still....Nope.
Bet if we had a poll, close to 100% here would say they judge on character not color.  That's what you usually get in a group where people are willing to discuss all topics openly and frankly.  Small-minded people usually fade off in an environment like this.

Because you are so self righteous, and above everyone else because it makes you FEEL better?   ;D

No, because I still see some sort of minimum level of decorum and civility as desirable.

Apparently some here don't.
