Re: Desolated Island
I don't personally care much either (I like football, but don't strongly like or dislike either of the teams involved). I found myself rooting for the Patriots, weirdly enough, since I'd planned to...

Re: SOPA, Keystone XL and NDAA
I don't really have a strong opinion on this, plus this thread is hardly one that should be encouraged. Thus, why am I posting? Jon has a knack, I guess.
Agree.
Disagree. If they are...

Re: Whitewashing The Civil War
I thought it was worth updating this with TNC's latest and interesting post on the topic, which is part of a broader discussion he's having on his blog.

Re: Mitt Romney Hit Piece
Shhh.
Okay, more seriously, I'm curious about this too. I assume it's because Mitt is perceived to be weaker than I think he is, because Santorum is seen as someone who can't win the general (my...

Re: What should we disqus here?
Yes, and I hope you are right.
This gets back to my sense that you are focusing on a segment (the minority segment) of Paul voters, probably based on who you personally know and see, who were...

Re: What should we disqus here?
Yeah -- I just couldn't get away from the analysis before that you were arguing that Paul's support was because of his foreign policy ideas, when it seemed that, within the Republicans, at least, it...

Re: What should we disqus here?
It's basically left like the old Life, the Universe, and Everything section mostly. But we can still have the kinds of discussions that have traditionally gone here. I suspect we could also spin...

Re: What I will miss about vBulletin...
The first forum I was ever involved in had a thread called "Outside" so that if discussions got heated or off-topic (or both, usually) in another thread, participants could be requested to "take it...

Re: An apparition is stalking America
Oh, not sure if I was unclear, but I think so too. I think American history and rhetoric demonstrates that -- the New Jerusalem, City on a Hill, so on. On the other hand, like Florian said, this is...

Yes, I've gotten that from your posts, and it is a place where I agree more with Rob. I understand your POV and am not bothered by it, despite disagreeing, but I would strongly disagree with your...

Re: An apparition is stalking America
Yes, I think so, and thanks for acknowledging that.
I think this is more regional than liberal vs. conservative. Perhaps living in the midwest and having grown up in the west makes a...

Re: An apparition is stalking America
I don't think we've ever gotten a clear definition of "exceptionalism." I agreed with Bob, but I'm not convinced "exceptionalism" would disagree. I take the argument that "American should be...

Re: An apparition is stalking America
That's part of his "Reaganistic delusion."
Interesting. We interpret it differently.
Personally, I agree with this. I just don't think acknowledging that you prefer your country...

How do you get this out of Wonderment's post?
Interesting. I'd say that Wonderment probably does understand that, even if he wouldn't claim the position himself. It seems to me those that he...

Re: LOL
No, this is wrong. The laws in question are racially neutral. (We are talking about anti-discrimination laws, not Affirmative Action.) The argument against them is that we don't generally...
