“Shawn Herles, well, well the pathetic old ” google it ” ploy !”

If your lazy, that’s not my problem.

“At least these Evangelical Christians part company with frontpage,Pamela Gelller and you”

So what? Liberal Christians are just as delusional as secular Liberals.

Out of concern for stephie’s laziness 🙂

“A Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2014 asked Americans to rate members of eight religious groups on a “feeling thermometer” from 0 to 100, where 0 reflects the coldest, most negative possible rating and 100 the warmest, most positive rating. Overall, Americans rated Muslims rather coolly – an average of 40, which was comparable to the average rating they gave atheists (41). Americans view the six other religious groups mentioned in the survey (Jews, Catholics, evangelical Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons) more warmly.

Republicans and those who lean toward the Republican Party gave Muslims an average rating of 33, considerably cooler than Democrats’ rating toward Muslims (47).”

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/07/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/

That’s just one poll. As I said you can Google others, but most if not all say the same thing Around 60% of Americans have a negative view of Islam.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-human-beast/201104/conservatives-big-fear-brain-study-finds
Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College London found that self-described conservative students had a larger amygdala (link is external) than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain that is active during states of fear and anxiety. Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity.

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/10/conservative_politicians_campaign_on_fear_and_it_works.html
Halloween ought to be the Republican presidential candidates’ favorite holiday—they love to scare people. Donald Trump warned us about Mexican rapists and job-stealers; Ted Cruz said people should be afraid of gay marriage because it’s the greatest threat to religious liberty; Ben Carson likened the Obama administration to the Nazis; and Mike Huckabee claimed the Iran deal would lead Israelis to “the door of the oven.”

This rhetoric is based on fear. If you ever find yourself voting from your gut and not your head, take some deep breaths. Nothing good ever comes from fear-driven decisions.

Rational decisions come from weighing the pros and cons of a policy. But when fear enters the equation, people give more weight and importance to some considerations than they actually deserve.

http://www.salon.com/2014/07/29/secrets_of_the_right_wing_brain_new_study_proves_it_conservatives_see_a_different_hostile_world/
Secrets of the right-wing brain: New study proves it — conservatives see a different, hostile world
Phony WMD, Benghazi, birthers, truthers — turns out there’s a scientific explanation for deniers and Tea Partyers
The paper, “Differences in negativity bias underlie variations in political ideology,” by lead author John R. Hibbing of the University of Nebraska, answers yes to both questions. It advances three successive waves of evidence, which combine to show that conservatives differ from liberals by having stronger, more intense reactions to negative aspects of the environment — such as physical threats, or potential sources of disease — which are ultimately physiological. At the same time, with multiple forms of mass hysteria going on at once, American conservatives seem dead set on proving the scientists right, and underscoring the importance of the work they’re doing.

Just fucking peachy, an art historian.
/

.
After listening to Ted Cruz talk about his ISIS strategy during the December 15 Republican debate—”making the sand glow” and “carpet bombing” Syria—I asked, somewhat rhetorically, who could possibly be filling his head with such ridiculous notions. But now that Cruz has won Iowa, and he may win more (though probably not New Hampshire), it is worth asking: who is the defense/security advisor with whom he’s closest?

[…]

So just who is Dr. Victoria Coates, who appears to be Cruz’s sole National Security Advisor? Let us start with what she is not.

She has never worked in the Pentagon; never worked in the State Department; never worked in the intelligence community; never served in any branch of the military; never lived overseas representing the United States in any way; never worked for the federal government; never had a security clearance. (Unless, perhaps, for editing. I’ll check that.); never written a book, or indeed any academic or professional article, on national security, any aspect of any of the branches of the military, or on modern international relations; never been in a combat zone, one of ours or anybody else’s.

That’s all right shawnie you keep scaring the bejesus out of your self and the rest of the conservatives.
I gave you conformation of my statement many weeks ago you just refused to believe it because it wasn’t from some scary conservative shit dribbling wank feast aimed at short circuiting you mental capacity to suck you even more into a delusional world of monsters and bogymen.

Liberals have a big wide world to live in and can not be bothered with scared little half witted conservatives hiding under the bed.

Before I get the agw is just scary shit for liberals from the usual halfwits.
The reason conservatives reject science is it is to hard for their tiny scared little ape brains to cope with reality .

“I gave you conformation of my statement many weeks ago”

No you didn’t Griff. You gave me some far Left magazine articles, a Kremlin controlled conspiracy web site, and an FBI report that did not confirm your original claim.

Meanwhile, in reality, 130 were killed by Muslim terrorists in Paris and 14 in San Bernadino, at the same time you were makiing your claim that there was nothing to worry about regarding Islamic terrorism. That’s about as disconnected from reality as it’s possible to get.

“Liberals have a big wide world ”

You have a big wide fantasy world to live in. 🙂

“and can not be bothered with scared little half witted conservatives hiding under the bed.”

We’re not hiding, we’re fighting. That’s what real men do Griff, when their nations and kin are under attack. We don’t lay down and surrender like Liberals, or make up fantasies as an excuse for cowardice.

Reality has a conservative bias.

Liberals are cowards.

France on Monday night said it would not pull out of its border arrangements with the UK even in the event of Britain voting to leave the European Union.

David Cameron argued that voting for a Brexit would result in migrant camps such as “the Jungle” in Calais moving to southern England.

Not for want of trying…..

U.S. District Judge David Godbey said the Republican leaders who have fought the resettlement have not shown Texas would suffer irreparable harm. The same judge rejected in December the state’s request for a restraining order saying the evidence presented was “largely speculative hearsay.”

“The Court does not deny that the Syrian refugees pose some risk. That would be foolish,” Godbey wrote in the decision. “In our country, however, it is the federal executive that is charged with assessing and mitigating that risk, not the states and not the courts.”

No doubt there will be calls for a rigid enforcement of the law with particularly stiff penalties.

The Michigan Senate recently passed a bill that outlawed sodomy, traditionally defined in legalese as either oral or anal sex. If the bill passes the Michigan House, sodomy could be punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

The ban was attached to an anti-bestiality bill, part of a package of bills called “Logan’s Law” the state Senate is looking to pass to protect pets from abusive owners. By adding the words “with mankind” to a clause outlawing bestiality it not only outlawed sodomy and bestiality, but equated the two

Now that the election year caucuses have begun, it is not very difficult for anyone awakened to what’s really happening both domestically and globally to see that the election year hoopla is nothing more than a demonstration of mass psychosis filled with false hope and a sensational and pacifying sense of fiction over reality.

It’s the time of year where most Americans don’t realize that they are being sold on a contest based on who the sexiest liar is…

The Hitler vs. Coulter Quiz

Leaving aside the Godwins, and also the valid point it makes, would the result really be much different if you substituted in, say, “Michael Moore”, “Republican”, “conservative” and “Fox News”?!

Also, I got all but three right. You can usually tell stuff that is translated from German.

Btw, I remember my high school library had a copy of Mein Kampf that I attempted to read, just out of lurid interest. But the publisher’s foreword was instructive – those seeking to be titillated by a piece of political pornography were almost sure to be disappointed as the content and style is so…boring. incoherent and rambling. At least Coulter and Moore write in bullet points and employ bitchy sarcasm!

@ Reid,

My advice is at this stage in the credit cycle is to be in physical. I have a lot of gold, a reasonable amount of silver and much, much smaller amounts of platinum.

The reason is that Gold & Silver are the world’s oldest monetary metals. Whilst I’m not predicting we’re going to end up in an “Armageddon” situation, confidence in most if not all Fiat currencies is going to fall dramatically which will see a rush to the precious metals. This rush hasn’t even begun yet because he average person is too emeshed in the matrix and apathetic to appreciate just how dire the situation is.

English-language teaching in Stephiestan and Stephiedesh hasn’t progressed since the Brits cut these colonies loose.

EAD posted at 10.04:

I have a lot of gold, a reasonable amount of silver and much, much smaller amounts of platinum.

I hope you have got it securely hidden away, EAD, but with your heirs accurately informed of its whereabouts.

Be a bugger if it lay hidden for 1500 years until some Xin Xilander had to hand over the treasure he dug up in his back yard to the National Museum of Xin Xiland’s Anglo-era archaeology division.

@Awww C-mon

Its called love.
We love feeding our men healthy food.
We love denying them junk food.
We love it when they get sick of our healthy cooking and decide to cook a yummy dinner for us.

I thought I heard Kea ruffling her feathers a few minutes ago. Must have been mistaken. She’ll be snoozing with a towel over her cage.

This thread needs a reminder of why there is a Church in the first place:

“This thread needs a reminder of why there is a Church in the first place”

There is a church ‘in the first place’ because Stone age man needed some way to explain earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the vexed question of where did we come from, disease, etc. Religion was made in the shape of man, NOT the other way around.

The real pity of course is that now we know what really happened there are still some people who hold onto those stone age beliefs.
