Brietbart: Entire Russian cabinet resigns to make way for Putin's constitutional changes ...
RobBlair comments on Jan 15, 2020:
Constitution (noun) 1. Foundational set of laws from which an organization will be governed 2. The essential composition of an object 3. The physical health and vitality of a person. So I guess Putin is starting a new exercise routine that will require new equipment in the former cabinet's meeting room.

RobBlair comments on Jan 14, 2020:
A perception poll is only useful for identifying weaknesses in education. In this case though it does track well with other data. I do take umbrage with the idea that our current president is adding to our corruption by challenging the established media. His challenge to the media is working against corruption as is highlighted by CNN's partisan attack against a teenager and subsequent court loss. https://www.heritage.org/index/heatmap Comparing the Berlin wall (or the North Korean wall) to a border wall like the US-Mexico wall without mentioning the opposing purposes of those two walls suggests either a lack of critical thought, a desire to confirm the author's bias, cherry picking of data or all the above. Anyone who has visited central or South American countries knows that the first thing a property owner does is wall around his property. We in the US have now elected a wall builder, in part, to protect our property (our culture, welfare system for the poor, education, etc...) from thieves and to keep out outlaws.

RobBlair comments on Jan 13, 2020:
I think it's safe to say that if our Iraqi embassy wasn't attacked, and if an American contractor wasn't recently killed on December 27th missile strike by Iran, that Soleimani would still be alive. I'm currently interested in hearing the regional fallout due to his timely death (and his associates). For instance, Hamas ($500 for an injury and $3,000 for death from Israel) and Hezbollah were/are being funded by Iran.

RobBlair comments on Jan 13, 2020:
Thank you for the source. I suspect that Mossadegh's support was not as one sided as the article purports (there will always be 20% of this country opposed to any president and willing to protest and the communists in Iran were a significant force at the time). Anyhow, even with the understanding that a Zinn perspective is to paint the US in the worst light, I find this information worth knowing. I'd even suggest that it parallels well with Venezuela save that, after the theft of the oil industry, Venezuela had no break from its downward spiral into communism.
Should veganism be defined as a religion or philosophy like Christianity or Buddhism?
RobBlair comments on Jan 12, 2020:
Prager asks this question - "If you have the chance to rescue a stranger or your pet dog, which one do you rescue?" The moral answer is the stranger. I bet most Vegans would not see it that way. I've always considered Veganism as a religion. Not that new either. People have been elevating animals to deities for a long time. (note - Veganism is not just vegetarianism. It elevates animals into the "right to life" along with humans). People should be thoroughly discriminated for or against based on the choices they make in life. Religion is a choice. Trying to prevent discrimination based on people's choices is a bad idea.
Interesting, no? The moral roots of liberals and conservatives - Jonathan Haidt
RobBlair comments on Jan 10, 2020:
"The harm foundation is broadly based on human sensitivity to prevent suffering, and to empathize and care for others. The fairness foundation encompasses notions of justice, inequality, reciprocity, and general unbiased treatment. The ingroup moral foundation prioritizes loyalty and a group-based orientation, such as thinking in terms of “we.” The authority foundation involves valuing traditions, hierarchical social orders, and respecting those with power. The purity foundation focuses on disgust sensitivity, an appreciation for an elevated way of life, and a concern for cultural sacredness" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4858184/

RobBlair comments on Jan 8, 2020:
If we are going to look back at the Clinton-Trump match up, it would be appropriate to look at Clinton's inept handling of the attack on the Benghazi embassy and then denial. Any suggestion that Clinton was "hawkish" or even had anything to say regarding foreign affairs, was and continues to be significantly tone deaf. Today we learn that Trump is interested in being responsive to attacks against our embassy in Iraq. A vivid contrast to his predecessor. Maybe killing Suleimani was a mistake (what was he doing in Iraq? Was he organizing a rebellion? More attacks against US assets? etc...), but I'd like our enemies to remember that attacking US assets is always a mistake.

Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people, the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. - Lincoln

GA: Don't you care about the life of the woman? GA: "I'm not in favor of abortions and I'm not in favor of no abortions." - huh? BS: Again, what about the life of the child? I recognize the interest of the woman of course ... GA: "Well that's very big of you" - you are too young to remember, etc... Allow me to fill in the gaps since she refuses to. Allred had an abortion and refuses to answer the valid question regarding the value of the life she chose to end. This is not an academic question to her.

Although politically, having the left tie themselves to another enemy of humanity like al-Baghdadi is advantageous, I am worried that they have opened their hearts so much to hatred that they will not be able to find their way back.

A racist is someone who doesn't support affirmative action, someone who disagrees with me or neo-nazis. A baby is a life except when its a choice, but not the baby's choice. Marriage can be traditional marriage or gay marriage, but making that distinction is bad. A blood thirsty terrorist is an islamic scholar, or an Asian. Not such a far fetched story anymore.

I recommend reading his words directly (less editorializing) - "Here, there is a need to be wary of the temptation to rigidity. A rigidity born of the fear of change, which ends up erecting fences and obstacles on the terrain of the common good, turning it into a minefield of incomprehension and hatred. Let us always remember that behind every form of rigidity lies some kind of imbalance. Rigidity and imbalance feed one another in a vicious circle. And today this temptation to rigidity has become very real." http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/december/documents/papa-francesco_20191221_curia-romana.html So to be clear, he is talking about incomprehensible fences and obstacles.

My roommate exclaimed "College policy doesn't allow guns in dorms!" To that I say exactly. The policy is no guns, yet here was a guy with a gun. The only thing keeping guns out of dorms and other places is often just words on a page. The idea that we should disarm and be left defenseless so that the same people who show such lackluster concern for our right to life can virtue signal, is absurd. If you want a gun free zone then you need to be responsible to make sure that it is a gun free zone at the entrance. If you can't lock down a gun free zone then you have no right to deny other people the tools necessary for them to defend themselves.

RobBlair comments on Dec 20, 2019:
"[addressing someone by their actual gender is] incompatible with human dignity and fundamental rights of others" Let's cut right to the real problem - my human dignity is not conferred to me by someone else's belief. It is not affected by someone else's speech. It is intrinsic and not the play toy for overindulged adult children. "[the Gender Recognition Act] provides a right, based on the assessment of the various interrelated convention rights, for a person to transition, in certain circumstances, and thereafter to be treated for all purposes as the being of the sex to which they have transitioned." - quick, someone get this to God! I don't think he was copied on the memo. King Canute is laughing! Cousin Eric was right.

RobBlair comments on Dec 20, 2019:
I'm sure it's very edgy and nuanced ... zzz. Went to Netflix last night to find something to watch. After spending a few minutes trying to find something my wife says to go to Prime. Jack Ryan season 2 - pretty good, kept me awake. Prime also has the next season of Expanse. Seriously thinking about ditching Netflix.

I think the French have spent the last 100 years since WW1 trying to figure out who to surrender too. Then I read about Arnaud Beltrame who forces me to change my mind. France needs more heroes and an ongoing frank public discussion regarding the terrorism that is bred through Islam.
I could ALMOST vote for Tulsi Gabbard.
RobBlair comments on Dec 20, 2019:
2024 Republican Presidential debate hosted and "moderated" by Ann Coulter - any candidate who survives with even a modicum of dignity will be eligible for my vote. Gabbard contrasts herself from most of the other democratic hopefuls because she doesn't appear to hate this country. Would certainly never vote for her though.
Are you in favour of ethnonationalism (ethnic-nationalism)?
RobBlair comments on Dec 20, 2019:
As an American I can proudly say that our system (whatever it is) is the best! Ethnic Nationalism is the historic norm that has a significant weakness. If you hold to a very specific ethnic identity you can bedevil and isolate those who miss that definition (the example I've given before is my cousin and his Korean wife's children are not considered Korean in Korea.) The clear weakness to this fairly new Civic Nationalism is that ethnic diversity is a weakness with one exception - when the group is focused around a common culture or task (like in church or in the military). One advantage is that when a Native American has children with a European American, those children, as with their parents, are called American. A little push back - "This [intermarriage of races] continued for generations, and now, South America is culturally, ethnically, and racially unrecognizable from what it was before extensive intermarriage with the Spaniards had begun." - culturally they are Roman Catholic and they speak Spanish or Portuguese. Native Americans, at least as I saw in Central America, are recognizable. I doubt that Civic Nationalism is for everyone or even that most countries, even in westernized Europe, is capable of holding to it.
