Be Clear on What McCrystal really said in the Rolling Stones Article

Have you read the Rolling Stones article? or Have you just heard talking heads, news stories, Obama administration response, McCrystal's apology, Brit Hume's outrage, Rush's defense, and Gibb's response that McCrystal was questionably not "capable and mature enough" to be general over Afghanistan? Try to think for yourself, is McCrystal the victim of journalist hype? If you read the article notice magazine’s editors that call the White House “wimps”, and it is the author that uses almost every f-word in the piece, gratuitously, gratingly, and not while quoting anyone. The only f-word used by someone else is a Brit saying how much some people love McChrystal’s habit of showing up on patrol. To make it easier to skim I made all content spoken by McCrystal or what advisor's thought and in red what article author Hasting claims in a hearsay manner without source or quote...just Hastings own personal ideas/impressions are. (Is this what journalism is

AZ is being Held Hostage by Immigrants

Obama is holding AZ hostage. We need to remove the gates around the whitehouse and have open borders to the Presidents front door, back door, windows and family. If Obama feels other citizens in this country do not deserve to the Federal Protection of security, why should we grant security to any border, airport, or person in this country, including all federal employees and their families. When does the President's unwillingness to protect USA citizens become criminal and an impeachable offense? I do not know so I ask. We all need to be asking questions, and listening to as much news - first hand speaking, writing as possible. These two post are not mine. One belongs to Nicholas Contompasis San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States A Founding Father of the American Tea Party. On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Off

The Observable World Speaks For Itself

Can you see the tree? Do you see the leaves? Oh, look, not all trees have identical leaves. Some are so big, others are little. Some are soft, others are hard. Look closely at a leaf...any leaf will do...what do you see? Do you see a pattern of lines, so you see symmetry? Touch each leaf on one tree, feel them. Hold them up close to your eyes. Do the look alike? Is there something consistent about the leaves of a specific type of tree? Go ahead, have fun, collect some if you wish. Press them into a book or copy their design in a journal. Draw your own conclusions. Observe for yourself. Can you think of a theory - a statement that is consistent and common among all you have collect? This is the beginning steps of becoming a scientist - it is simple to do and quite fun. While this seems like a simple elementary school lesson plan, I think it should be part of every level of study in general science or even biology or botany. Science classes need to spend more time exploring and observing

Is Evolution Science or is it Philosophy?

What's New? It seems I have stepped into yet another intriguing volley - this time between Dr Jay Wile and Thomas Root on a facebook page. And it seems it is often on Amanda Read's page! This is the latest comment by a gentlemen named Thomas Root on the facebook page of Amanda Read: Amanda's Facebook page So correct me if I'm misrepresenting you, but a summary of your argument seems to be that: "The theory of evolution is not science because it's not falsifiable. It's not falsifiable because every time contradictory evidence is presented, the theory has been modified to suit the new evidence." Is ... See More that more or less correct? Because it seems like modifying the theory when new evidence is present is *exactly* how science works and how faith doesn't work. On the other hand, your view of creationism is that it is science despite the fact that it incorporates a *whale* of an "unknown process" (which you say can't be

I want to apply for Helen Thomas Position!

Where do I go to apply for the empty Helen Thomas Position? I am a fireball that will keep every President's feet to the fire of truth. I would love to spar words with know-nothing Gibbs. We need intelligent, inquisitive, courageous investigative journalist. I want to apply for white house press core job. Does anyone know where I can get an application? And would anyone be willing to write me a letter of recommendation. Not that I am over-confident but can I also have her prime front row seat? It is high time independent thinkers get front row in the white house press room so we can ask the real questions everyone wants answered and not stop at dumb answers like "I need to check", "it is in the memo released", "we are coming out with a plan", "we are looking into it", "I haven't read that yet", "no one informed me..." Give me a break! Gibbs needs to PREPARE for his meeting with the press core and be read
