If you honestly believe that protest is de facto riot and filled with nasty people, you are deliberately turning away from the truth. I am willing to call myself a "nasty woman," however, based on Trump's use of this phrase as an insult in a debate (who does that?). Property destruction. etc. in some locations has been well-documented and it is not being done by those convening the resistance to policies that are an affront to decency. Bonhoeffer was a man of God and martyred for standing up. If I, my family, my friends, my neighbors gather to speak out with our handmade signs that are showing signs of wear these days, we would be honored to do so in his name. And if our efforts show signs of planning (horrors) or if we get printed signs, that should simply show you that we are not going away. | 0 | not toxic |
Thats youre problem right there. You want to live in the days when everyone got their news from the "mainstream media". Thats hardly the case anymore. You included "Associated Press, The New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Time, and Newsweek" in your list and I fail to see how any of those are any different than the WSJ or NY Post or The Hill - all of which lean more conservative than liberal.
Stop playing the "the media is biased against conservatives!" act. Its not real or relevant anymore - especially when we have Republicans controlling all aspects of government right now.
Just because you dont like the news, does not mean that its not real, or relevant or true. Thats where this whole "alternative facts" crap came from and is whats a real cancer on our society. Its like people who believe the world is flat are just expressing their "alternative facts". | 1 | toxic |

RK: They will search long and hard for a pension benefit, even in other states. It has proven to be too cumbersome and expensive for state's or businesses to afford. But the military still offers a pension if you are up to it. A 401 with an employer match is a good deal. Spreads the risks and rewards of investing to all who invest just not to the employer or taxpayer (public sector employees I.e., teachers). | 0 | not toxic |
Again with the condescending arrogance Eric? I am not angry, I think that would be a label mostly applying to the left. You know, the group that must find a demeaning label to apply to all opposing viewpoints. You break out the anger card quite often towards those of us on the right end of the political spectrum while cheering on the insane hatred coming from some of the posters on the left. Hummm, I wonder, do you bring these anger and crazy issues up in order to deflect what you are feeling? By the way Eric, I am a good person, in fact I deeply care about our nation and I am fed up with the status quo. Why are you so satisfied with the failures? Why don't you care about our less fortunate citizens? Lip service no longer counts, action now does. The past has been a failure, why are you okay with continuing failed policies? Real questions Eric, and from what I see on the left, or at least a portion of them, is wanting to resort to violence before admitting they were wrong. | 0 | not toxic |
I'm pretty sure this is absolutely not true. 2017 Florida budget was $79.3B, and with a population of 20.6M, that's $3,850 per capita. Gov. Walkers' proposed Dept. of Education budget for AK was $1.6B; with out pop of 740,000, that's $2,170 per capita.
So unless you have and can link to a source for this claim, I'm gonna call BS.
Furthermore, comparing our State budget to much more populous states is kind of nonsensical. No other state has the geographical reach we do, and the challenges that brings. | 0 | not toxic |
Alberta needs to get its product to tidewater for the good of the Canadian economy and of course for the good of Alberta. We are a confederation and that is the way things work, as an Albertan I think that we should shut down all highways and rail traffic going into B.C. and all communications, and then we would see what happens to the B.C. economy. We would see what all the long shore man working on the docks and the industry that goes along with that and then we would see if B.C. can last with it's smelling the flowers. In the agreement of confederation no province can stop the movement of trade and commerce to the determent to another. So get with it BC flower children trade and commerce has to happen in this country for it to survive. This country can't survive with raising marijuana and whale watching . | 0 | not toxic |

Your assumption that a "gun death" is somehow worse than any other unjustified homicide is worse is not correct. And to get your stats to work out in general, you need to very carefully cherry pick the countries that you consider "DEVELOPED". Also, you have to consider that many European countries only count a death as murder after the killer has been caught and found guilty. So, if they have a 25% rate on solving such crimes, their numbers would be 4 times larger when compared to the manner that the US reports murders.
Maybe if we compare our crime rates and gun laws to Mexico our closest neighbor we could get a more accurate picture of how gun laws affect crime. | 0 | not toxic |

Very good article. Thank you much.
We all make enormous psychological investments in our identity markers. Some people then encase themselves in a defensive bubble to protect the validity of those markers at all costs.
Others try to consider the possibility that someone with different identity markers is not a threat or in any way inferior. Some even go so far as to challenge the validity of their own markers. It is hard work.

The opening line of this opinion statement is a broad based intolerant smear at Christians with no substance. Using terms like "appears to be a lingering Nazi-salute" is outrageous and has nothing to do with the Muslim families referenced in this article.
Nice try, but the authors true hatred of anyone she disagrees with gives her permission in her own mind to tar them with a broad brush.

Pay attention to what I am continually proposing in my comments. PERSONAL INTENTION IS NOT THE DETERMINANT OF MORAL ACTION. You continually propose that it is.
Here is how it works.
NFP is OBJECTIVELY different from contraception. With NFP I am having sexual intercourse with my wife with nothing artificially present that we have placed there to stop procreation. With artificial contraception there is a condom or IUD or diaphragm or spermicide or a pill working so procreation will not happen as a result of a choice that we have made.
With NFP no matter my intention, even in extremely low fertility moments where I am trying to avoid children, I am still engaging in an act which is open to life by its nature.
With contraception, no matter my intention, even in extremely high fertility moments where I might hope the condom breaks and we get pregnant, I am still objectively trying to prevent pregnancy.
NFP is not contraception. Objectively. Like according to reality. | 0 | not toxic |

The ACA was destructive and failed to do what Obama and Nancy P. assured the population it was going to do and not do.

When I was 32, I’d bought and sold two houses and bought a third, prevailed over a national homebuilder in a purchase contract dispute, risen to a position of prominence in my chosen profession, won a handful of industry awards as determined by industry peers, was managing my third and fourth brokerage (401k, IRA) accounts, served in an advisory role for two education-related organizations and knew my way around local government bureaucracy enough accomplish specific goals without declaring myself a victim of “the system”.
In short, I wasn’t some babe in the woods without a clue. Nor was I part of a seven-figure business concern and an adviser to the president, but there aren’t many of those.
For all we know, Jared Kushner may be a fairly sharp character or a charlatan – or both.

When most politicians say they are Christian, I say actions speak louder than words. The closest some of these people get to Christianity is paying lip service to those whose oppose abortion. Their lack of concern for the poor, working poor, families, hungry American children and anyone who isn't rich and white is proven every day by legislation that benefits the 1% and ignores every one else. Watch the GOP start to destroy Medicare, Social Security, ACA, Medicaid, SNAP, LIEAP, and any other program people depend on to try to survive. Watch the GOP fight tooth and nail against a living wage or paid family leave so low income parents can actually spend time with their newborns. Watch the GOP continue to subsidize the rich while placing the tax burden on everyone else. Congress maybe 91% Christian but they sure as hell don't act like it! | 0 | not toxic |

When we have ice ages because the Earth is further way from the sun, it gets colder, which causes the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to decline. When the earth gets closer to the sun in its orbit, it begins to warm and, on average, about 800 years later, the CO2 level begins to rise. It's well documented in ice core studies. Rising CO2 never precedes warming. Ever. | 0 | not toxic |

How many would rescind their 1988 votes after watching free trade in action? Very, very few. I am certain that tens of thousands of those who voted against the deal will have changed their minds by now. Free Trade has been a key to our prosperity for a quarter century. The only people who want to get out of NAFTA are Americans. That doesn't bug me much. Both Tory and Liberal governments have followed that trade route. Even the NDP wouldn't have ended free trade with the U.S.A. if they had won the last election. It's worth too much. Why don't we loudly hear from the Canadians who are worried about our sovereignty because of free trade? Because there are so few. Prosperity abounds.

I hope the author of this article will take note of this comment: In 2008 Canadian Banks crashed just like the rest of thw world. However, since Canada main/only industry is Immigration, and possibly to protect a select few, the political parties (Cons, Libs, NDP, Greens, Senatte, etc [Stephen Harpers' government was a minority government - so all were in on it!]) BAILED OUT THE BANKS SECRETLY. The CMCH took over the mortgages and together with the CBC/Media, Realtors Association and by the use of computers FIXED the housing prices to 'recover' the bailout money. Long story short people in the know CASHED out and Canadians, famous for their HUBRIS COMPLEXT bought the lie (only a Canadian would believe that while the rest of the world failed, Canada could have super-intelligent politicians).

The Supreme Court never indicated Khadr was owed anything, let alone a multi-million dollar payout - the man is a convicted terrorist and murderer who was captured in battle fighting with the Taliban in a bomb-making compound. Khadr is an unapologetic traitor who was filmed making IED's, the same type of IED's that killed Canadian soldiers. Khadr is owed nothing and the fact that he remains in Canada is a mark of international shame. Khadr and his entire family are Canadians by passport only (used to get out of jail (Pakistan or otherwise)- and to take advantage of our social welfare net after getting injured in terrorist activities).

Neither the shooter in Texas nor the shooter in Las Vegas nor the vast majority of other mass killers who have unleashed GUN fire on innocent people in this country in recent years have ever been diagnosed with mental health problems. They were simply white men with anger issues, money issues, issues with women, issues with gay people, race issues, and other non-mental issues who used GUNS, specifically military-style assault weapons, to kill lots of people in extremely short order. To suggest that these mass GUN killings are a matter of mental illness and not GUNS is simply ludicrous. Beyond that it is both evasive and disingenuous to the point of gross negligence. People are dying unnecessarily so that GUN dealers can get richer, and NRA p*ssy-whipped Republicans are to blame, so LOCK THEM UP! No other country on earth has such GUN violence but all countries contain people with mental health issues.

What are the solutions to vote suppression?
.
1. Get rid of FPTP. The sooner, the better. Most important step in protecting democracy.
.
2. Until (1), have non-partisan redistricting.
.
3. Mandate Elections Canada pro-actively to maximise voter engagement and participation. Register every voter. Make it easy for every voter to vote.
.
4. Make vote suppression - in any form - a criminal offense.
.
5. Outlaw data mining, browser tracking, and automated narrowcast voter targeting = criminal offense.
.
6. Give Elections Canada criminal investigation powers - and a budget.
.
7. Enforce the Fairness Standard in all media - including Facebook and Twitter. Require the identification of paid trolls and their paymasters.
.
8. End the charitable status of churches. It might be hard on real churches, but deliberate destruction of democratic institutions by the Republican-financed-church-racket should not be subsidised by taxpayers.
