    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    We have agreement. Your claim of criminality on the part of Trump is irrelevant. I did think that you thought it was relevant somehow because you kept asserting that Trump engaged in criminal activity. Yes, it matters to the Republican party. The point of a committee is to represent the...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    Irrelevant. McCarthy's and Jordan's supposed criminality has nothing to do with the censure of Cheney and Kinzonger by the Republican party. Irrelevant. Cheney and Kinzinger are not being censured because of their vendetta against Trump. No. They are participating in the process - not...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    It is suggestive of that whether it was your intent or not. You chose to assert Trump's guilt of crimes into this discussion. Okay, but either your's and their's (pre)judgement is relevant to the formation of the committee (prior intent to go after Trump) or it is irrelevant to the formation...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    Your assertion that the committee will implicate Trump is suggestive that the committee intended to do just that when it was formed. I don't accept your prejudgement of Trump's guilt, and you aren't making the case of Trump's guilt. We agree that Cheney and Kinzinger are not representing the...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    The current committee represents partisan interests. This is evidenced by its composition: Democrats, Cheney, and Kinzinger. That is correct. Credibility is not dependent on what conclusion is reached, but rather depends on how you go about reaching that conclusion. An obviously biased...

    The Qualities of a God

    if a god is defined as one worthy of worship, even if that were the defining quality, such a definition would not suffice to identify that one is a god. One requires a means of identification - not simply a list of qualities. What color is a traffic light when no one is looking?

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    I can't speak to the future, but, yes, the way the Democrats handled it was disappointing. You remark that party values are irrelevant, but the censure of Cheney and Kinzinger is a Republican party affair and the reality is that when the committee presents findings to the House it will have...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    It was a great question. I responded to Kooky in Post #45. What does Hillary have to do with the censure of Cheney and Kinzinger? Okay... You don't know what the truth is, nor do you have any means of identifying it, nor do you believe the committee will arrive at the truth... Maybe you...

    In the Beginning.....

    Yes, it would imply that God was already. Also, "the beginning" begs the question: Beginning of what? I would say it most likely refers to a first beginning. Not a beginning of God (nor the beginning of any other beginningless thing), but rather a beginning of all things that begin (in other...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    If the Democrats had accepted people chosen by the Republican party in addition to their own picks, then the committee would've been formed representing interests of both parties. They would be investigating the attack on the capitol (which is the committee's stated purpose), and they would...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    You seem sure of the conclusions, but this particular committee is, ostensibly, to investigate. That's what a partisan political attack would do. Perhaps. Or perhaps they simply realized that the Democrats had an agenda besides truth. That's fine, but what basis will you use to decide if...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    You mean, Democrats only wanted people who were interested in investigating Trump. The Republicans have put forth aspects of the capitol attack that they would like to see investigated by the committee that the committee is not investigating. It is good that you are honest about this being a...

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    In other words, the Democrats clearly didn't want to consider the Republican view and the Republican party clearly rejected the committee. In other words, Cheney and Kinzinger joined the committee as Republican representatives (by Democrats because they were Republican), but they were not...

    Democrats Gerrymandering in New York. Yes they steal districts like they accuse Republicans.

    There is a bit of desperation in the actions of Democrats in New York these days in the aftermath of the disgraceful conduct of former Gov. Cuomo as well as a general dissatisfaction within New York with the conduct of its leaders. There has been a number of pieces of legislation passed over...

    Trump’s incendiary Texas speech may have deepened his legal troubles, experts say

    I think some people are desperate to keep Trump from running again in 2024, so they invent in their minds that Trump is somehow up to no good.

    The American Conservative: GOP Censured Free Thought, Conscience

    The censure was appropriate because Cheney and Kinzinger were nominated and appointed to the committee by the Democrat party through Nancy Pelosi, after the Democrat party, through Nancy Pelosi, refused to accept any of the Republican party nominations through McCarthy (which were would've been...

    Those Goofy Anti-Vax Canuckistanians

    Errr... 'tis other way 'round. It was Trump thinking like some people in Canuckistan. Amazingly, not every idea begins with Trump. Sometimes, ideas come from other people.

    Those Goofy Anti-Vax Canuckistanians

    If you're asking if Canadians magically turned into Trump supporters just because Trump praised them, then the answer is... no, lol.

    Can omicron be the path to herd immunity?

    It could be that the theory of herd immunity was flawed from the start. For one thing, all viruses mutate. They are not static entities. It may be that some additional theory is required to explain viral behavior.

    Teacher's Unions

    I'm sorry but this statement of yours doesn't make sense. You are simultaneously claiming that learning was more effective and less efficient. Don't be attached to the outcome and examine the question with a calm mind. At the expense of learning. Covid is real and dangerous. Moreover...
