Comment Re:As an environmentalist and (former) Obama fan. (Score 2) 343

OK. When you say Barack Hussein Obama, you just sound like a dick. I am a Patron level NRA member. I go to church. I vote Republican. I do not like Obama's policies. I am conservative.

But when you go on about the Hussein garbage, you are just making yourself and people like you sound like a racist. The reason why: You are racist.

Turncoat dixiecrat morons have invaded the GOP. You have dragged us down. You took a once noble and progressive party and made it irrelevant.

Stop it. Just stop it. Stop being racist. If you cannot, please take your festering hatred and crawl under a rock.

You are not civilized. You are not genteel. You are not polite nor engaging. You perpetuate stereotypes that are harmful to people whom really want restrained and controlled government.

Your opposition of a man's middle name (and cultural ancestry / skin color) is an embarrassment to people who would oppose Obama's policies because they are bad.

Either stop your behavior or go away. If you persist in your vile behavior, you are damaging the party and the country.

I am under no such belief. Nevertheless, it does not mean that a man cannot regret things that happened. Obama is a man, and most men are good. He might, for the sake of getting things done in Washington, ignore the morals of pardoning Snowden. However, on the last day in office it is common for presidents to pardon people that really deserve it, but it is politically inopportune to pardon. I believe Snowden definitely falls into this category. I also believe that a good man would pardon him.

A Presidential Pardon, issued at 11:58 am on January 20, 2017.

Seriously, Snowden's a hell of a guy and did a real good thing - they even recognize this by their claims for the need to limit the actions of the NSA. But the administration cannot condone his actions. Hence, a last minute presidential pardon is the only politically viable option.

At the moment, never. The energy usage is too great for the average person to be able to afford. The mean hours between failure is atrocious, especially given the catastrophic results of failure. What you propose would require a technological seachange, one that cannot be predicted at the present time.

(If you are being sarcastic, then good job.)

Yes. I will admit, I enjoying hunting. It is something I am good at and I take pleasure in what I am good at. I would not kill a creature I did not intend to eat though, unless it was to serve a purpose, such as killing a coyote.

I also would not give a mouse to a snake, for example - owning a snake is puerile. Snakes serve no purpose, much as putting an unendangered animal into a zoo serves no purpose.

Meh. This is not too far off. We do not teach much proper mathematics in schools any longer, but rather we instruct students in how to manipulate computers.

While I agree that the instruction in computer manipulation should be superior, I would suggest that this indicative of the overall decline of the American academic system rather than an oversight of education.
