Enco, i am torn betwen a requirement for Muslims before becoming US citizens. Should they be required to spit, urinate or defecate on their Quran?

And to all of the White bread ivy league students majoring in middle eastern studies and crying dodger blue for the Palestinians. Mandatory visits into the bowels of death cult hell. Encourage them to…[Read more]

Simon,

He doesn’t have to be such a dick about it. I’m no fan of the excesses of woke puritan zealotry, but we can just draw a line and move on, that would be OK. I don’t feel like crushing them to death and dancing on the bits.

Their line didn’t allow for Western Civilization, much less America, Jews, or Israel.

Big bang. 13 billion years hence. Cromulent. Big splash.

Robert,

Everything Trump is doing sets a precedence and becomes normalized. Harvard is just one aspect on the attack on education. It may seem partially righteous now, but more is to come.

Oklahoma just passed a state resolution that “Christ is King”.

Watched the video. Was dumbfounded at the Nazi (or Naziesque) palm-down salutes.

At the White House. This is America.

Yeah, I know, but Harvard already settled the discrimination case with pro-semitic provisions and a five-year plan.

I think it’s ordinary straightforward philosophy.  It would interest some people.

Robert,

@Enco, sure companies pay taxes, but no company was going to orchestrate a mission to the moon. The return on investment as far as business development enabled by the Apollo program was 700% or 7:1 to the taxpayers.

If you had paid attention to the video from The Hill, Harvard’s private endowment was $57 Billion compared against $1…[Read more]

The “Free Palestine” camp should be allowed to express their misguided opinions like everyone else AND be punished for rule breaking like everyone else.

That said, slaves have rebelled and freed themselves. There are many examples…[Read more]

Unseen,

In a recent Facebook post answering a person who likes to remind leftists like me that the Democrats were very keen on the KKK and it was a Republican who freed the slaves, I said that the two parties flipped sides in 1964 with Pres. Johnson’s Civil Rights Bill. He countered that with the notion that, no, the Dems are still the party of s…

Robert,

Instead of the myopic view, how about if we examine the accomplishments of Harvard Medical School alone, and gauge that against the alleviation of guilty conscience by the entitled Harvard students and staff with their flawed but inconsequential support of Palestinians.

It’s consequential to hard science when some of it’s best students…[Read more]

Simon,

It may or may not be a godawful book, but I think it’s an interesting question to ask what it’s like for some totally different organism to experience the world.

An interesting question, but all for naught if we couldn’t communicate and share the answer. Again, this is the kind of stuff that encourages hatred of philosophy as empty egg…[Read more]
