btw...just clicking on the SLATE article that Bryan posted...the title is "LET HIM DIE " in quotes but if you read the article...it's Wolf Blitzer who was moderating the debate who actually said "let him die", not any republican

seems like a pretty balanced article too

He would prob. agree that he has insinuated that a few times. Admittedly, he prob. would say that about some of the Cons. also.

I enjoy his posts, very well written as he puts a lot of thought into them. Very knowledgeable about the Const. I think the tone of this forum has worn him down recently.

Glad to hear that Scott. Everyone should call out insane comments (from both sides).

PS - Glad you think I'm so intellectual . I actually don't have anyone on my ignore list. Never said I did. It is just the interweb, who cares?

Paul's post convinced me to clear my ignore list. Hopefully, I can limit my time responding to the checkmates and getting called a twelve year old.

So, whether it is Netwons', Einstein's, or Galileo's theory of gravity, gravity is theoretical.You can read more about current theories of gravity at Theory of Gravity

I also like this one from
Warning: Gravity is "Only a Theory" by Ellery Schempp
"Warning: Gravity is “Only a Theory”
by Ellery Schempp

All physics textbooks should include this warning label:

“This textbook contains material on Gravity. Universal Gravity is a theory, not a fact, regarding the natural law of attraction. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.”

The Universal Theory of Gravity is often taught in schools as a “fact,” when in fact it is not even a good theory.

First of all, no one has measured gravity for every atom and every star. It is simply a religious belief that it is “universal.” ."

If I may interject, I think that they're mostly a some what wacky fringe element made up of former hippies and flowerchildren with a few homeless people who showed up b/c they could camp somewhere w/o being bothered and get free food. I can't recall anyone here really complimenting them. Certainly, as with any group you loosely share an ideology, there may be aspects that I could agree with but their view ends up too extreme.

The demographic make up of TP and OWS is very different.

I respect the way you stated that...

I watched a great deal of media coverage concerning the Occupy Wall Street crowd, and I watched what a lot of Democrats in Washington said about them. I didn't hear a lot of prominent, influential liberals dismissing them as the fringe. Whet I heard was a lot of support for the message they were trying to get across. And I never saw anyone on TV, other than those on Foxnews, make a big deal about the anarchistic behavior which was commonplace at their sites..

I don't believe that the Occupy Wall Street crowd operates on the fringe of the liberal universe. Their message is that the syatem is rigged in favor of the wealthy, and that poor people are victimized by the wealthy, and by some evil entity known as "business". If you think thoe are "fringe" ideals, I guess you think Obama is also a fringe guy. Because he obviously agrees with them on their core message, does he not?

[PaulS]

So, besides your admittedly erroneous reflections on the "rally," So b/c it wasn't a "rally" does that change what happened? Shouldn't the focus not be on where the event was or what exactly the event was but rather on the fact that some members of the audience (for what ever reason) believe someone should be allowed to die? It seems like folks here would rather focus on those minor details while ignoring the main point.

OMG, why am I letting myself be sucked into a PaulS pooh, pooh? OK. Paul, your the one focusing on a minor detail here and ignoring my main points. BTW--any response to my constitutional Q's?

I admit I don't know as much as you about the const. so I've never gotten into a debate w/you on it if there was something we might disagree on.

Paul, you have been presented with evidence that "some" of the audience members applauded the "let him die" statement.

Without having any idea who they were, or why they were applauding, you made the leap that there are no more compassionate conservatives left in the country.

Would you care to retract your assertion that this applause means there are no more compassionate conservatives? Or do you still feel that's a reasonable thing to say?

In your case, no one knows who was applauding, and more importantly, no one knows why.

In the Wesleyan incident, every honest person in the world knows exactly what was taking place. And moreover, no one in the world was surprised at what took place. Because that's the kind of behavior the world expects from many (not all) liberals, when a conservative has the audacity to express his opinion.

There is absolutely zero ambiguity about what took place at Wesleyan.

Paul, liberals claim to stand for inclusiveness and diversity. Yet time and time again, you see anarchist behavior by liberals when conservatives are trying to make a point. Moreover, I don't see many liberals condemning the anarchist behavior. So if someone claims that they are open-minded and caring about free speech, yet they are not appalled at what took place at Wesleyan, but they still believe they are open-minded, then they are delusional.

I also have to remember when I go to a sporting event not to yell "yeah" as I never realized people don't view that as cheering until now.

you can yell whatever you want to, hopefully the game will be far more relevant than whatever comes out of your mouth and if by chance you yell something obnoxious, let's hope that the entire stadium is not harshly criticized and/or (mis)characterized as sharing the sentiments of whatever you blurted, whatever your intention and how it was percieved depending on which team you happen to be rooting for

Scott, are you now pissed off that I showed you posted something from a site that doctored the transcript and none of your numerous cut and pastes have any credibility?

Let's stick to the thought that maybe they were Libs.
