Alfred Sisley, "A May Morning in Moret" (1886)
Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)chairs. Good they are involved in politics I guess, but one candidate
tapping so many to call out the body of Christ on his behalf is somewhat
disturbing. Using the "Called by God" ploy is devious, as I see it, as
so much of Cruz's calculated words are.

If
they are too focused on abortion and gay marriage, they will miss the
real threat of turning our country socialist/commie. That threat is
from a flood of third world migrants that vote 75% commie. The other
threat is TPP and treating the world as a free/fair system, where free
trade magically turns slaves into capitalists buyers. Nope, the
oligarchs get rich, slaves beg for table scraps.
Cruz is the best
second hope, but only Trump has faced down the globalists and
kingmakers. Cruz has only promised to delay his 400% increase in H-1B
plans, so look at his big money support for clues. "No bigger friend of
legal immigration than me" he said just a year ago.
Phyllis Schlafly thinks Trump is the Man.

From the last thread--
OT but weird browser problem. The other day I couldn't connect to the internet, and Comcast said my modem wasn't supported any more. So I went out and bought another one, they couldn't see it, and so on. Turned out it was a cable problem and the old modem works just fine.
The weird problem is that, in Firefox, I can get to every site I can think of...except Ace. When I try to go there, I get redirected to Comcast's "Activate" page.
Ace works fine in Brave (and is tons faster).
I could call Comcast but they'd say "Oh, you read right-wing blogs? Well, maybe you'll just get really lousy bandwidth from now on, hater."

Glad you brought that forward, 'cause... I've had the Brave site tab open for a while and have been meaning to check it out. I've been using Opera exclusively forever, but disappointed since they changed after v12. So I've been thinking about trying Brave.
Can you easily set it to have bells & whistles on trusted sites? Import bookmarks okay? And the other questions I'd ask if I thought a minute?

I don't like this idea that there is something wrong with having Christian support. There is nothing wrong with that.
The problem only comes when that is your only support and focus. That isn't' the case with Cruz I think.
I am also beginning to think that running a candidate without 'evangelical' support IS a problem on the republican side. How well have our moderate types done in the general? Bush definitely had the support of that community.

1) How did the final polls in IA compare to the actual results?
2) Given that we know the discrepancy in the difference between polls and results was largely due to the "ground game," what is the respective "ground game" of each candidate in NH?
3) Which is all to say, Cruz under-polled and over-performed in IA, can he do the same in NH? Or has he written that off in favor of focusing in SC?

Here's Why HuffPost Gay Voices Just Changed Its Name To HuffPost Queer Voices
We, like many others before us, have chosen to reclaim "queer" and to rename the section HuffPost Queer Voices because we believe that word is the most inclusive and empowering one available to us to speak to and about the community -- and because we are inspired by all of the profound possibilities it holds for self-discovery, self-realization and self-affirmation. We also revere its emphasis on intersectionality, which aids in creating, building and sustaining community while striving to bring about the liberation of all ?marginalized people, queer or not.
"Queer" functions as an umbrella term that includes not only the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people of "LGBT," but also those whose identities fall in between, outside of or stretch beyond those categories, including genderqueer people, intersex people, asexual people, pansexual people, polyamorous people and those questioning their sexuality or gender, to name just a few.

I'm an old agnostic and I support Cruz. Constitutionalism demands neutrality for religion. However, when I decided on Cruz I told my kids that a strong faith will help support and guide someone in a job with 'no right answers' -- and POTUS is certainly that.
Posted by: mustbequantum at February 02, 2016 11:34 AM (MIKMs)
True, and I will certainly vote Cruz as a second. But pushing the Body of Christ thing so blatantly is creepy. Cruz has other elements, but was raised under Bush, met his wife also a campaigner for Bush, then they seem to have made most of their portfolio from Goldman Sachs hiring her in 2005. That loan is not the big issue (afaik), but GS has such strong control of DC policy, the tie is an issue. They love to have the political connections, and I don't doubt there was a quid pro quo on some level.
It's like Tom Cruise in "The Firm", where it may be innocent that she took the job, but she was there ten years. There are about 20 things like this that don't sit well with me. Of course Trump has his bowl of picadillos, but he is on target and confronts directly. I find the older conservatives lean toward Trump ... and I'm older too. I think they see through Cruz, even though he can claim the conservative title.

Back in my college days, I was a little bit of a bleeding heart. Still very socially conservative, "I could never vote for a pro-choice candidate," but also economically idealistic about wanting to save the world. I leaned Kerry the whole way, but the only, ONLY thing that kept me from pulling the lever from him was the abortion issue.
Now, older and wiser, I look at the long game. Gov. Huckabee is a good man, and no doubt, devoutly pro-life. I highly doubt he could win the general. So, for me, if it is between a pro-life candidate that can't win and a pro-choice candidate that can, I choose the latter. Because a pro-choice Dem in office will have Supreme Court picks that will create repercussions for the pro-life moment for decades, maybe forever.

Dubya got that support by promising federal funding for "faith-based initiatives". Very popular among evangelicals.
Democrats shrieked about separation of church and state.
But have those initiatives been torn down by Democrats now that Dubya is gone? Oh no! Hardly so! They have simply been reconfigured, to funnel federal bucks to Islamic mosques and to provide "walkin'-round money" to black church pastors on Election Day.
No governmental program, no matter how laudable its intent, no matter how pure its motive, will avoid being ultimately turned into a vehicle for the left's purposes. Full stop, end of story.

That's what the Soldiers of Odin are for.
A Finnish vigilante group called 'Soldiers of Odin' have taken to the streets to protect citizens against the invasion of muslim refugees. Last year, a group of men founded Soldiers of Odin, which is named after the Chief Norse God of War and Death, near a border town in Finland which is an entry point for migrants. The group has now branched out into other parts of Finland with about 500 members across the country.

The name "Candlemas" seems to come from the ancient church custom of carrying lighted candles on this date in honor of the Virgin Mary.
"If Cannlemas day be lound and fair,
yaw hawf o't winter's to come and mair;
if Cannlemas day be murk an' foul
haw hawf o't winter geean at Yule."
- Folk proverb from Whitby in Yorkshire
For centuries, the day has been closely associated with weather proverbs, of which one is quoted above. It has long been believed that a fair Candlemas portends a prolongation of cold weather, and it is certainly no coincidence that today is Groundhog Day in the United States, on which the Pennsylvania woodchuck known as Punxatawney Phil is closely observed as he emerges from his burrow to see whether or not we will have 40 more days of winter.

He was telling a story about Trump. Supposedly Trump had said that his security force had warned Trump that they thought there might be someone in the crowd who were bringing tomatoes to throw at Trump and Trump told them to go ahead and flatten the guy and Trump will pay the legal fees. All this was with Trump chuckling and had no context to it.
Beck then began reciting that this was how Hitler trained his brown shirts to stifle dissent and how you do not train people to do these kinds of things, and if Trump were elected, he and his friends will get richer while they send out their brown shirts(who later became the SS) to stop any protests, etc.
Beck is crazy. I hope Cruz tries to distance himself as much as possible from this nut.

no, I think snake handlers are 100% sincere in their faith, though wrong on the doctrine.
Cruz strikes me as much more calculating, and he twists things a little every time. He has that Clintonesque "the meaning of is" style carefulness that he routinely uses. Like him saying "I'd never seen my birth certificate". Yeah so, you didn't know you were a Canadian citizen? Is that what you're implying?
See he gets it (wants it) both ways. He kept dual citizenship till he needed to drop it to run for POTUS, then acts like he barely knew he even had it, but he doesn't quite say that. I guess that is just good politics, but I never appreciate the cleverness. Same with his claim he argued at SCOTUS over our sovereignty. The decision was really that Bush didn't have that authority, but Congress did. But he needed sovereignty chops after his 5X H-1B stance, so that would have to do.
It is not sabotage, he will have to do if Trump fails.

Immigration matters.
But even more important IMO - a precondition to success on anything else, including immigration, that truly matters - is an absolute commitment to ripping the guts out of the Federal bureaucracy, to ensuring that significant numbers of DOJ, EPA, Education, etc. apparatchiks are (preferably) run out of the building at bayonet-point, or at the very least made to serve out their careers sitting on ice floes somewhere, five hundred miles from the nearest cell tower.

I think it matters if you're consistent, but you should also know your audience and tailor your focus to them.
If I'm a politician talking to a group of pastors, I'm going to talk about the things I think matter to them.

An Arlington elementary school teacher will receive $11.5 million from the publisher of Fifty Shades of Grey as the result of a royalty dispute.
A Texas court ruled in the favor of Jennifer Pedroza, determining the fourth grade teacher was defrauded of her share of royalties. Pedroza filed the suit in May 2014 against her former publishing partner Amanda Hayward. The pair started up an e-publishing partnership called The Writers Coffee Shop in 2009. In October 2010, they published the book.
However, the lawsuit alleged that through legal wrangling, Hayward cut Pedroza out of the multi-million dollar partnership.

Sometimes the only way to win, is not to play....
Any decent argument is tailored to fit the intended audience. I don't use Reformed theological terms to talk to y'all here, and I don't use historian-speak to talk about historiography in Sunday school (which, yes, I did once). Different people use different vocabulary and start from different sets of assumptions about the world (Note: I could just use "worldview" instead of that awkward phrase, but would you know what I meant?), so one has to take that into consideration when formulating an argument.
And, seriously? This sudden hate for evangelicals is coming across as pretty bigoted right now.

From what has been said of Iowa, Trump did not have as good a ground force there as Cruz and Rubio did. Iowa is odd in that you sit in a room and listen to impassioned people hawking their favorite candidate and finally you write the candidates name on a piece of paper and drop it into what looks like a big laundry bag. Trump did not have as many "I love Trump and here's why" strolling minstrels in each precinct.
There were more than a few pundits familiar with Iowa who said this was going to be a problem for him, that they believed he miscalculated how important those individuals are, vs. him going into arenas to speak to a crowd a week ago.

second hope, but only Trump has faced down the globalists and

plans, so look at his big money support for clues. "No bigger friend of
legal immigration than me" he said just a year ago.

Donald Trump doesn't face down globalists and kingmakers.Trump eats dinner with them, attends their children's weddings, plays golf with them, flies with them on private jets to exotic and beautifulplaces where he and they sit around big tables and discuss big things. And you know whyTrump does these things with them? Because he's one of them.
You quote Cruz's 'no bigger friend' line re legal immigration as somehow damning. Is there something confusing about the word 'legal' in that line? Insofar as I know, no candidate--including Trump--has spoken out against legal immigration.

Cruz strikes me as much more calculating, and he twists things a little every time.
Cruz is a lawyer, which makes him a little... sleazy at times. Its not on purpose, its just a hazard of the job. Parsing words and being very careful about phrasing, finding the loophole or way to win within the law but not necessarily within ethics is the lawyer way.
They don't all end up like that, but its something they all have to fight and struggle against to avoid becoming.

As I said a few weeks ago, when even Richard Dawkins recognizes that Christianity being pushed out of the public square by Godless heathens (editorial license taken) is leaving a void that is being filled by Islam, you know it is time for some of that old time religion in a very public way.

I fired up my Twitter feed this morning and got swamped with everyone's pet tinfoil theories. Rubio's inflated numbers are the result of his cozy relationship with Microsoft! Cruz dirty-tricked Carson with a sneaky memo about a hiatus! Cruz' friendliness with those evil evangelicals is toxic in the national campaign -- too preachy!
This is not a celebrity death match. The finger-pointing and accusations do nothing more than piss me off. We seem to be our own worst enemy.
We are not the enemy. Hillary and Sanders, statism and big government, cronyism, illegal immigration, ISIS, looting America's economy -- THOSE are the enemies.

OK.
I don't myself, particularly like some of the ways some evangelical-types express themselves, but I get really irritated with the notion that religion is something that has to be, or even can be, a "private matter." I usually take it as an indication that the person positing said belief has no real idea what religion is, what role it plays in society, or, for that matter, where their own beliefs come from. Declaring that de facto agnosticism is the proper way to approach public life is itself an expression of religious belief, though those who advocate it never seem to grasp that.

A lot of those 'veteran conservatives...kicked from the National Review', such as Joseph Sobran, were fucking rabid antisemites and/or John Bircher conspiracy theorists and Bill Buckley was right to kick their ass to the curb. Turns out Coulter is headed in that direction, as well--or maybe she's just going batshit crazy. Or both. Who can say?
Endorsements from the likes of Palin, Huckabee, and Coulter do not magically make Trump conservative. And it should be noted the three people I just mentioned are those who once had serious clout in the GOP. Now they're becoming more fringe by the day. Pretty soon they'll be hanging out on the speaker circuit with Pat Buchanan, discussing the, er, Jewish Problem in depth.

There is a surplus of food grown, we pay farmers to NOT grow anything on a lot of acres. Producing seems better. Phasing out ethanol is OK, as it may become fully competitive over time anyway. It is just one element of securing our food base. And it is one of the rare areas where we have a huge positive trade balance. They squeeze us on oil/electronics, we should squeeze them on food. But we really don't, because we don't want to be evil I guess.

"The virus was first isolated in April 1947 from a rhesus macaque monkey that had been placed in a cage in the Zika Forest of Uganda, near Lake Victoria, by the scientists of the Yellow Fever Research Institute. A second isolation from the mosquito A. africanus followed at the same site in January 1948.[16][17] When the monkey developed a fever, researchers isolated from its serum a transmissible agent that was first described as Zika virus in 1952. In 1968, it was isolated for the first time from humans in Nigeria.[18] From 1951 through 1981, evidence of human infection was reported from other African countries such as the Central African Republic, Egypt, Gabon, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda, as well as in parts of Asia including India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.[18]"
"There are two lineages of Zika virus, the African lineage and the Asian lineage.[19] Phylogenetic studies indicate that the virus spreading in the Americas is most closely related to the Asian strain, which circulated in French Polynesia during the 2013 outbreak.[20][19] Complete genome sequences of Zika viruses have been published.[21] Recent preliminary findings from sequences in the public domain uncovered a possible change in nonstructural protein 1 codon usage that may increase the viral replication rate in humans.[22]"
I may have pulled an article from here on Ace last week that listed a link showing the spread across from Africa thru Asia and the Pacific to CA, and CNN has a report on it as well today. It is entirely possible the outbreak is worsened by genetically modded skeeters, hence why the outbreak to our south is worse, apparently, than in Asia.
The original article I saw mentioned that Asia may not be as well known because not nearly as many people were tested there compared to CA....

When I never saw that very telling quote on the telly or discussed by the MFM at all, I knew #WASTF.
Our form of government depends quite heavily upon us being accurately and truthfully informed. That hasn't happened in a long time, which 'splains why we're in the crappy situation we're in. IMHO, if we had a responsible press, TFP would've been laughed out of orifice a long time ago, if he'd even managed to get elected at all.

But they don't understand what's really going on. Probably 20% of them, tops, actually know what they're doing. It sure isn't half. But that 20% is in media, entertainment, government, and most importantly education. Existing as they do to use those institutions to twist the truth, they need government funds, because they're in the business of destroying that which is good. So ending government subsidies and penalties of those institutions is the simplest and most complete solution.
We all know this.
The point is we need a communicator with the skill to succinctly explain our situation while also presenting the solution as something which will work, focusing on the positive outcomes on the other side and not the details of the amputations to the federal government.
And that person also needs to have the will and the means to carry those amputations out in the face of the death throes of a 250 trillion dollar beast.

This is correct. Christianity suffers when in political power, as do people under it. When Christianity ceases to be primarily humble, loving, and merciful, it ceases to glorify God.
That said, the US Constitution and principles it enshrines are based on higher, greater, and more foundational principles which are far more significant and broadly applicable than just the constitution. This is what bothers me about Cruz' rhetoric: I get that he's using short hand, but the founding fathers wrote the constitution based upon greater and more significant truths and understandings. And narrowing that all down to one political and legal document is damaging to the principles this nation was built around.
Among those was the absolute recognition of God and a Judeo-Christian heritage and worldview.

I read somewhere else this morning that this claim that Rubio won! because of his rise, was shot all to heck when you look at the facts.
If this is true, Cruz was predicted to lose to Trump by more, so overcame much more. Rubio was expected to be 3rd, but his margin of rise wasn't as big as Cruz's.
So not only did Cruz bypass Trump,
he also bypassed and rose with a larger spread than predicted.

And it should be noted the three people I just mentioned are those who
once had serious clout in the GOP" troy riser
Palin was awesome in Alaska and not ready for the national stage but gave it her all. God Bless her. She is not one of the deep conservative thinkers, she is more evangelical.
Same for Huckabee who gave us Akin, and stuck with the Huckster brand when Palin's candidate could have won (in MO for senate). Huckster uses the evangelical thing too, as a brand for his ow thing.
Coulter is a warrior, still awesome. She recognizes the conquest underway, as does Malkin and others. vdare.com has a good collection of solid guys, but I'm still catching up on the old history of who was who and what happened. Victor David Hanson sees some of the dumb things Trump can say, but also sees his usefulness.
Anti-semites? idk what was said or done ... Israel is an good ally, not our spiritual brother. Sometimes just a lack of complete devotion is called anti-semite. Netanyahu slammed Trump on the pause on unvetted Muslim refugees, what up wit dat?

That's because they miss the next paragraph warning about the academic/scientist complex which is just as dangerous.
Cruz was the big winner last night, as much as Iowa matters in the big picture. He came in first, which I don't know if anyone expected, and did so comfortably. Yet Cruz winning is a big black eye to the GOPe narrative so they want to just ignore that and hype Rubio.

To expand on that, even if the founders were not themselves Christian (many were deists in the way they thought if not formally adhering to the name) they were working from a set of assumptions about human nature and what constituted moral behavior that was strongly influenced by Christianity.

The muslims started the African slave trade (and continued it long after the West had stopped).
Further, the most fortunate (richest and freest) blacks in the world are those whose ancestors were brought to America. Perhaps they owe for that good luck?
As a Jew, I'm glad that my ancestors were driven out of Russia - to America -by the pogroms. My life would have total shit if the Russians had been better to my family and we had ended up staying there. I thank my stars every day that my ancestors put up with so much hardship to allow me the ultimate prize of being born American.

In the email chain, Lewis Lukens, former deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the secretariat, responds to a request from Mills by informing her, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and Kennedy that the new personal computer "in the secretary's office" would be "connected to the internet (but not through our system)." Abedin responds, "We are hoping for that if possible."
The email exchange discussing plans to provide Clinton a separate computer to skirt the internal State Department computer network begins with a message from Mills to Lukens in which she requests Clinton being able to access her emails through "a non-DOS computer." The email discusses how the stand-alone computer can be set up and why it is "a great idea' and "the best solution:"

Sanders apparently won the caucus vote by a lot, but Democrats won't release that vote total.
Instead they say he won a couple fewer delegates, based on the obviously crazy idea he lost six straight tie coin flips for delegates.
Then the State Democrat Party "lost" the vote totals in 90 caucuses.
A reasonable person would conclude the Democrat party awarded Hillary county delegates in 96 caucuses she didn't actually win.

The Birchers way overplayed their hand. They sounded like a bunch of shrieking nincompoops. They had it ratcheted up to 11 and never backed down. I don't blame Buckley for giving them the bum's rush, even if it turned out in retrospect they were more right than previously thought.

The voice in my head keeps saying "H1Bs, TPP, fundraising during the vote that allowed Choom Boy to give nukes to Iran, dual U.S.-Canadian citizen until 2014."
The only "explanation" I've heard is Cruz whining that McConnell bamboozled and flimflammed him over TPP. Not sure I want a Preezy who listens to what worn-out political hacks tell him to do.
But yes, he's better than Shrillary and Crazy Uncle Bernie. Not by enough, though.

There's an Italian recipe called "Chicken In Prison," which combines sautéed chicken, eggs, diced bread, capers, onionsand chicken broth in a bread bowl, which all solidifies to a nice pudding-like consistency after baking.

b) Bernie's tribe comes out very, very angry.
I would argue a limited success on (a), he won, but a lot of the Not-Trump vote went to Rubio. I'm not particularly anti-Trump, but I don't trust him any more - maybe less - than I trust Rubio. There's a lot of Schwarzenegger in that man.
On the Democrat side, given their conspiracy-theorist bent, I'd argue for a limited success on (b) as well. We're gonna see a lot of Bernie guys flipping coins for the rest of the week.

Hypothesis:
Bernie was the designated far-left foil and fall guy. He wasn't supposed to win. His sudden rise caught the Clinton people by surprise and they had to scramble clumsily to restore the 'correct' outcome, and that's why it was so obvious.
Holy crap -- imagine what's coming in rest of the primaries, and in the general. Hillary is on track to lose New Hampshire --- what are they going to do? Write it off and concentrate on later primaries, or double down on the cheating?

I dunno. President Obama was inspiring, and gifted at getting people who do not normally vote to get out to the polls. And the idea of voting for historic first black dude was a big draw.
I'm not convinced historic first non dude is a big draw - and whatever draw it is might be canceled by enough people saying "a woman? No."
but who knows? All Hillary has to do is pull in the usual democrat 40% or so, then 5-10% of the usual GOP voter women who think "sisterhood! you go girl!" and that's enough for the fraud to pull her carcass across the finish line.

I spent a decade deep in that realm, and still support the networks of Christian churches as strong local support systems. But I also see the abuse of those systems. Jesus came for the Jews and was accepted by multitudes, but rejected by the power structure of Pharisees.
Then the Apostle Paul said all those that followed him had left except ... I forget, Philemon and a few or something. So I see "the church" as bottom up, grass roots. Not top down with men on earth as authorities, which generally gives rise to men of ego. Our constitution recognized God given rights to the individual with no man, pope priest, or POTUS, contravening that authority. Direct access to God, JC on his right hand.
So to me it is clear, individual rights ... but render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's ... or something like that. Religiosity tends to abuse the Christian. or something like that. What has the Catholic church done for central and South America, except leave them poor while the Vatican has their golden calves? It's a balance I guess ...

IMO, it's one of the worst holdovers from Old Skool Polkitix. New president gets in office, thinks "it would be wrong, and Bad Optics, to can all those government workers. Besides, they know their jobs and stuff."
In his autobiography, Barry Goldwater says one of the first things he told Nixon to do in 1969 was fire all the LBJ holdovers. Told him the same thing in '73.
Funny how Democrats have no problem doing exactly that. Look at all the winners Choom Boy has brought along with him....

That's why I don't like that Texas has apparently just decided to ignore a bunch of (state) laws instead of repealing them. Besides breeding contempt for the rule of law, it means the structure is still there when the political parties change. The over-reaching government needs actively knocked back so that the statists have to actually *work* to rebuild it each time instead of having the framework in place.
I suspect there are *reasons* the Rs don't prioritize those roll-backs though.

She likely knows this but just can't let the dream go. Hence, the bizarro victory speech last night. Probably wanted to make that speech before she loses the opportunity to, even if it was just for f#$%@ing hicks in m$#@er-f#$%ing Iowa surrounded by g#@-d@!ed corn fields (just imagining how Hillary might phrase it).

One amendment I would like in the Constitution is that no law can last
more than five years. Everything has to be repassed. If a particular
law is working, it would just be a formality. But if it's
controversial, the proponents need to work for it again.

There are plenty of conservative women qualified to be President/VP. If one of those qualified individuals happens to have an advantage that could reduce or nullify a likely advantage of the opponent (i.e. girl power nonsense) then there is nothing wrong with choosing that person as a running mate. I'm not saying just choose a vagina but politics is what it is.

The top 5 repubs Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Carson and Yeb. 2 "Hispanics" (although white Hispanics), a black guy an orange guy and Yeb. Average age 57. Who is the party of old white people again?
Also, how does the Hildebeest already have 384 delegates? Sanders only had 29. How is that possible.

I don't see any indication that Cruz took any interest whatsoever in being Canadian. If he had known about the dual citizenship, he would realized immediately (being a bright guy) that it would win him no brownie points at all on either side of the border.

The Associated Press has declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the Iowa caucuses. The AP made the call after 1 p.m. on Tuesday as Clinton maintained a 0.2 percentage point lead on Bernie Sanders with all of Iowa's 1,683 precincts reporting.
An aide for Sanders said Tuesday morning that the campaign was "still assessing" whether to ask the state party for a recount, according to the AP.
A Democratic aide told The Hill that there was no provision for a recount in the Iowa caucuses. A full-fledged recount would be near impossible, as voters signal their support by moving to a certain spot in the room to signal their chosen candidate. Those conditions cannot be exactly recreated, but the Sanders campaign has called for a release of the raw voting numbers at each precinct site. Typically, only the number of delegates each candidate wins per site is reported.
Oh dear, we made our first critical primary contest easy to steal? How unexpected.

FIRST VOTE: 215 Sanders 210 Clinton 26 O'Malley 8 Undecided 459 TOTAL
And this is the SECOND Vote: 232 Clinton 224 Sanders 456 Total
So somehow they lost 3 people but Clinton's vote went up by 14.
So basically what had happened was Hillary's team didn't take the time to do a full recount instead she just added the new people who joined the second vote. Which clearly wasn't an accurate count.

He ain't so bright if he didn't know. He knew he was born there, and supposedly looked into anchor baby citizenship issues, yet didn't consider he was Canadian?
Trump says there are advantages. Many people over recent years have been setting up Canadian bank accounts as a safeguard against the currency abuse in the US. Not just the nuts, but top finance guys explaining to clients how to do it legally. We know the government can't pay its debts, and is interested in confiscation, or tax on assets.

He's a highly ambitious man who has staked out a career in American, not Canadian,politics. I doubt Plan B was running for office in British Columbia.

immediately (being a bright guy) that it would win him no brownie points
at all on either side of the border." Donna
He ain't so
bright if he didn't know. He knew he was born there, and supposedly
looked into anchor baby citizenship issues, yet didn't consider he was
Canadian?
Trump says there are advantages. Many people over
recent years have been setting up Canadian bank accounts as a safeguard
against the currency abuse in the US. Not just the nuts, but top finance
guys explaining to clients how to do it legally. We know the government
can't pay its debts, and is interested in confiscation, or tax on
assets.

Please show us where Cruz enjoyed any benefit...
Also, Trump argument RE bank accounts is a stupid one since you don't have to be Canadian to have a Canadian bank account (just as you don't have to be an American to have an American bank account and you don't have to be Swiss to have a Swiss bank account).

The United States affords its citizens religious freedom and does not consider apostasy a crime, but Kerry chose the term to rubbish the jihadists' claims of piety.

Hey remember the good old days when the MSM used to run stories about the ages of Republican candidates (Reagan, Bush I, Dole, McCain) and express grave misgivings about whether an old guy could handle the stresses of the Presidency?
Good times those were.

I think she's trying to say that the dual citizenship thing is a "nothing burger".
I may (or may not) have had dual citizenship since I was born in Germany to American parents so I can understand not knowing. Didn't know how to find out pre-internet and now that I'm over 40 I'm sure it doesn't matter.

Ted Cruz is a natural born American citizen per terms of Immigration and Naturalization Act -- passed by the Congress under its Article I enumerated powers and duly signed by the President.
Enough already.

So Congress has the power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization and Cruz falls under that rule?

They were for granting citizenship
The US Constitution has a higher standard to become POTUS, that you have been born in the USA
You must look at what the writers meant at the time it was written and why Congress
passed those acts, they were for citizenship purposes
Plus also I don't like him because he may not protect the donor class, they who create jobs and trickle down on us
Posted by: Bubba at February 02, 2016 02:20 PM (R6wzt)
Just having the citizenship is the benefit, regardless of whether he uses it. He could have moved there and enjoyed citizenship benefits, if the US has a financial collapse or starts taxing assets. Rich people make such contingency plans.
Trump didn't argue about the bank accounts, I got that from a financial guy I pay to read (not regarding Cruz). My point was there could be a time in the future where being able to move to a more sound economy would be advantageous. That is done more fully (access to benefits, other things I guess) if one has citizenship. duh

There were some indications in previous outbreaks that there were some cerebral complications, but these became much more apparent (as severe symptoms often do) in this most recent large scale outbreak with at least a million and a half infected.
The reason for the large outbreak is most likely just population based, as Rio has a very large population of people living very close together compared to smaller African and island nations.
TL;DR: The article is a bogus GMO scare story with little scientific basis.

1. Most likely this is true/true/unrelated
2. If there is a link to the genetically-altered mosquitos, the only link that seems reasonable is that the geneered mosquitos changed the mosquito population in a way to favor those that carry Zika over those that carry dengue. Considering that dengue a) sucks the first time you get it and b) can become a viral hemorrhagic fever and be fatal on subsequent infections, trading dengue for Zika may be a decent lesser-of-two-evils option.
3. If (big if) the altered mosquitos had anything to do with Zika, this would be an example of an emergent effect not predictable ahead of time. Fewer mosquitos is almost always a good thing, the defect introduced in the mosquitos results in fewer mosquitos, not more.
4. Given that there was a Zika outbreak in French Polynesia less than 5 years ago, but before the altered mosquitos were introduced into the wild, most likely the two issues are completely unrelated. This is what happens when a virus is introduced to a new population. Hey, it's better than smallpox.
