Re: Republican loser changes name to Cesar Chavez to run as Democrat
Conservatives you mean, as one study (of about 5 I've found so far) concluded: ...political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases. from: Low-Effort Thought Promotes Political Conservatism Scott Eidelman, Christian S. Crandall, Jeffrey A. Goodman and John C. Blanchar Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, June 2012 vol. 38 no. 6 808-820 http://psp.sagepub.com/content/38/6/808 Abstract The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism. In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism (controlling for sex, education, and political identification). In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts. In Study 3, time pressure increased participantsâ endorsement of conservative terms. In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism. Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases.

Re: So this is why the GOP is backing off healthcare reform as a platform...
my bad I didn't read enough I did mention Shrubbery. That said, think of it genius, what happens when 1) your guys are shot at more don't a few get hit? 2) with more people getting wounded don't you think that would result in greater demands on the system Just a wild guess on my part however. 3) Facing IED's and similar forms of attack, that means more leg and arm injuries. Also the pressure wave does a number on the brain - As someone a bit familiar with neuroanatomy I think I can guess the effect of a blast wave on the brain would not be good. Ergo increased use. 4) Congress has widened coverage eligibility quite a lot in the last 10 years for VA care. Don't you think that would increase demand. 5) The VA has opened only ONE new hospital in the last 25 years. So yes there has been a massive demand on the VA medical system much due to George W. Bush's wars. And your republican party has blocked increases in VA funding multiple times over the last 5 years. So if anything the blame is on the Republicans.

Re: So this is why the GOP is backing off healthcare reform as a platform...
AS for the VA scandal, its more of a problem of facilities and access. Because of cuts and increased demands from 12 years of war (courtesy of your hero G. W. Bush) and over promising they don't have the space simply put. In the last 25 years the VA has built only one, that is ONE, new care facility. Compare that to the number built by for profit health care companies. If the VA had the same level of investment the scheduling scandal never would have happened. That said, its a systemic problem with the VA system, brought on by years of increasing demands on the system and trying to make increasingly fewer resources stretch to cover more and more. And still surveys show that the majority of vets are very satisfied with their VA care. Now imagine how well the VA could have done if the system had the right funding. At times its seems that this country is all for getting its soldiers wounded and messed up but isn't really concerned about afterwards. After all what's a few vets in comparison to the shiny new hangar queen F-35 LIghtning II that costs $142.6 million a piece.

You get up close to the cars and pit boxes. And if you can score a hot pass, you get to go into the garage area and really see some cool stuff. And of course there's the Richard Petty experience.

Re: Common Core will turn your children gay
So run a few large scale studies using a Quasi-Experimental approach. Take a set of schools that are statistically equivalent on the dependent measures. Then randomly assign them to either the current approaches or the CCC. Then see what happens over a 5 or 10 year period. And do that in 4 or 5 different states. That would give a fairly good idea on what works best. On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 12:45 PM, GMoney gm0n3...@gmail.com wrote: RIght. Research suggests this may work better. SO let's try it.

Re: Common Core will turn your children gay
Last I checked Tim 2 plus 2 still equals 4 in most places in the US. Most other standards work the same way. You still have standard parts of sentences, and basic science is still basic science in most places, (except for Kansas and Texas possibly). Kids generally learn in similar ways regardless of geography. National minimum standards serve a very good purpose, ensuring a minimal educational standard despite what a troglodyte state like Mississippi may dictate. The standards insure that brain dead states cannot shortchange the kids in school as much as they'd prefer.

Re: Houston Pastor Says Religious Freedom Means the Right to Discriminate Against Gays, Jews
Aside from the extreme example you mention, I do no see how sexual attraction should have an impact on the job in the first place. If the person's co workers can keep their libido in check, why shouldn't the same reasonable expectation be made with someone who happens to be gay. Unfortunately many straight people haven't realized that they're just not all that hot. On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 12:49 PM, Judah McAuley ju...@wiredotter.com wrote: Is that the job? Then, yeah, you are probably right there. I'm not sure what job you are hypothesizing, though. It's true that if you hire a gay pastor for a southern baptist church, you'd lose business and that would be bad. I'd say that the person in question could not reasonably do that job in a way where their homosexuality was neutral to their work performance and ought to go. Given the same set of requirements, could a gay CF developer do the same level of work as a straight CF programmer? Does their sexual orientation have any reasonable negative impact on the job they need to do? That's the whole notion of rational basis for discrimination that you'll see if judicial discussions.

I believe that if we can look for a moment past gender and sexuality, we can see in these plaintiffs nothing more or less than our own families.

A man dressed in chain-mail with a helmet, shield and carrying a sword and staff ran into traffic and started attacking her car. She called 911, reporting that a pirate was attacking her car.
