While I think you have a good point and the logic behind what you are saying is good, I have to agree with Donnie that if you tried it the libs in academia would eat you for lunch. In general I think you are proposing that studying a societal majority group in the context of the members of that group living in a majority minority area (what a tongue twister) is worthwhile, and I agree. The hair in your soup is that any study of what the majority did except in terms of how they oppress minorities is looked on as inherently irrelevant in today's academic climate. If you try it good luck and I would love to know if Donnie and I are right.
I watched the first few episodes, thought it was stupid, and quit watching. I mainly thought it was stupid because of the idiotic tactical methods they used when in contact with the aliens.
It is time and past time for conservatives to go on offense, but I have been saying that for a few years now and see no reason to hope that the lack of offense will change for most conservatives. That is one reason I am so keen on the Tea Party, at least they have the spine to go on offense. Thank God for Senators Cruz and Paul, they are the only ones in the Senate willing to call a duck a duck. Sometimes I love my state.
Well, in keeping with my gloomy outlook in that other recent thread, I've kind of given up on the mainstream media.
It is about time you did so, I say. For the most part The media is only good for reading between the lines anymore. I pretty much only pay attention to specialty media anymore as they seem to be the least biased although they are by no means bias free.The lies about the nature of Islam have been repeated so often that they are now an entrenched meme and even the most despicable acts by Muslims are dismissed as random by the apologists in the MSM.
The last bit of the article says there are still two WWII vets in the House, Reps. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) and John Dingell (D-Mich.). I would like to know how many vets total are in congress and in which wars they served. That would be an interesting number I think.
I will not put anything past them when “gay & Lesbian rights” enter the picture. That particular perversion is the liberal cause du jour right now and anything is therefore possible.
And the early front runner to succeed Benedict is Peter Cardinal Turkson from Ghana. I am telling you, I will be shocked if a European is elected to the Holy See next month,
People come up with some crazy stuff in their wills. I had a great-great-great-grandfather who was a slave owner disinherit one of his daughters leaving her the princely sum of $1 because she married a man from an abolitionist family. The estate was in probate for several years after his death in the 1850's according to family records but she eventually lost and has been subsequently lost to family history.
The liberal hate on commenters on any news story about this is something to behold. You would almost think they are are going to be affected by the choice of who sits in St. Peter's chair. On second thought, they will be affected if the next Pope is as good as Benedict has been as Benedict's example and ministry had helped the Church start to grow again.
I like the headline “Ancient Gold Wreath Found In Greek Subway”, it makes it sound as though somebody found the thing while waiting for their evening commute.
It matters that the site is properly identified so that historians who write about the battle and the public that reads said books can get a clear understanding of what happened. Terrain makes a huge difference in the course a battle takes and if the battle was indeed at another site then our understanding of the course of the battle and the reason for Williams victory is probably wrong. This is especially true at Hastings because according to all contemporary accounts of the battle terrain played a decisive role.
I don't miss them at all. We don;t get the heavy snow here, just Siberian cold every so often. Congrats on surviving the storm Ken.
I think it will be African or Latin American because that is where the Church is growing most. Let's be honest and admit that Europe and Western society in general is not the community of faith it once was.Choosing the next Pope is inherently a political act. It is an act of faith but political in it's ramifications as well. Do you really think Benedict will resign without pointing his finger at someone?
