    Re: Donald's First 100 Days and Before

    Hard to say at this point. Getting the EPA under control would probably be a good start though.



    Has Trump made any cabinet picks yet? I thought this was just about his transition team.

    Re: Donald's First 100 Days and Before

    Trump is just trying to be inclusive. Binding the country's wounds so that America can be great again.

    On a more serious note that article is hysterical. Trump promised to rebuild the US economy,...

    Re: Donald's First 100 Days and Before

    This is getting better all the time. Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition. It looks like Trump is wasting no time on following through with his campaign promises.
  4. Poll: Re: US Presidential Election 2016: Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump

    It is pretty funny how many people got it wrong. Including me, I thought he had no chance of winning the nomination. But I stopped making predictions at that point. :)

    Re: Donald's First 100 Days and Before

    Looks like trump is going to take a strong stand on civil rights.



    Here's the policy statement. Maybe this is going to work out better than I expected.

    I'll be somewhat surprised if Obama gets to replace him. I expect the Senate will delay until after the elections.

    Re: XGM with EOM

    I don't think it will work because XGM also modifies the ancillaries files.
  9. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    Here's the relevant bit of the 1952 Act, which would have applied when Obama was born in 1961. From section 301:

    I got some of the details wrong above, but the issue is that Obama's mother was...
  10. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    There is no evidence that Obama was born outside the US. As far as I can tell that was never more than speculation. But the other half of the theory is correct. IIRC immigration law required a mother...
  11. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    The number of people who identify as atheist is tiny and hasn't changed much over the years. It did jump up a bit in the most recent Pew poll on religion, but only within the margin or error....
  12. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    The bits in bold are debatable. Young people show less religiosity than old people. But that isn't a new trend. It has been true for as long as anyone has been polling on the topic, and it has been a...
  13. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    If you're talking about birther theories then there was a difference. The birthers claimed that Obama was born outside the US, just like Cruz, McCain, and Romney Snr, but unlike those guys he didn't...
  14. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    It would have led to some sort of fiscal ruckus, assuming that Obama refused to deal, but default was simply not a possibility. You might be right about the conservative vs radical tendencies though....
  15. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    It's pretty much impossible for the US to default on debt because repayment of debts is required by the constitution. Cruz probably was serious about not raising the debt ceiling, but all the talk...
  16. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    Pakistan doesn't have any weapons that can hit the US, so it would be totally fine. ;)

    I like Cruz in spite of the religious theatrics. I think he would do just fine as president, but if I were...
  17. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    Actually I think elfdude is correct, the amendment doesn't apply to religious law as such. I also doubt that it has any significant legal effect.
  18. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    I think that is correct. Given the wording it is unclear whether the amendment would have any legal effect at all. The whole thing was political theater.


    Both accusations are in the op.

  19. Re: The race to the 2016 presidential race (former: Republican candidates)

    I think you're right. Obviously winning helps Cruz, but Rubio was close enough to look credible against Cruz and Trump. The result looks worst for Trump, not only did he lose but he nearly came in...
  20. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    The issue of what conservative Christians believe is pretty substantive. After all you accused them them of hypocrisy, so what they actually believe is a key part of the debate. In any case, you...

  22. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    I think the problem here is that you just don't understand what conservative Christians believe. That is not your fault of course, but it does seem a bit odd that you call them hypocrites with such...
  23. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    That isn't even contradictory. Christians preferring Christian laws and prohibiting Islamic laws is entirely consistent.



    Seems like a pretty easy sell to me. The proposition made no mention of...
  24. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    If you want to claim that one part of the state is contradicting another part of the state feel free. Just don't accuse anyone of hypocrisy. And yes this is a point about what words mean.

  25. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    As a rule I don't accuse states of being hypocritical because that would be foolish. Hypocrisy is saying one thing but doing something else. First, there is no reason to expect governments to always...

    A corporate entity is just an organisation of two or more people through which they act together. It is a category mistake to talk about hypocrisy in the context of something, like a state, that is...
  27. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    If you are looking for hypocrisy then you really need to find a person who says one thing but does something else. Corporate entities like states don't have beliefs so they can't be inconsistent, let...
  28. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    I don't see any obvious examples in post #15. Who are you talking about?
  29. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    Can you give me some examples of people who (1) are fundamentalist or conservative Christians, and (2) say that laws should never be based on religious belief, and (3) want to pass a law based on...
  30. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    You don't seem to understand the ideas or people you are trying to criticize, and you are lumping many quite different views into one basket, so when you "mirror" that mess your own views come across...

  32. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    You started out equating Christian fundamentalists with terrorists, said they weren't welcome in the US, and later called them traitors. That doesn't sound very tolerant to me. That vast majority of...
  33. Re: Political theism among different cultures in the US

    Christians wanting to base their laws on Christianity rather than Islam is not hypocritical. How did you even manage to think your way into that claim?
