No, it's not an outlandish concept that a terrorist orders a burger from McDonalds and receives the food after he pays. Or that a terrorist stayed at a Holiday Inn and nobody screened him for terrorisms.

It's not outlandish. It's just a meaningless thing to point out.

I wasn't referring to businesses.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I knew the Definer of Civilization's Rules and Leader (perhaps) of the Civilizing Forces wrote his dissertation on the great work Leopold did down in Kongo, but I wasn't aware of his master's thesis.

quote:

So when Trump releases his list of foreign policy advisers and no one has ever heard of them, that doesn’t bother you?

Look, I would recommend, if you haven’t done it, that you read The Art of the Deal. And you follow that up by reading The Art of the Comeback.

Are you really telling me to read The Art of the Deal?

Yes, I am. I have a very simple rule, which applied to Obama, and Bill Clinton, which is that somebody smart enough to get millions of votes is somebody I should study. I have enough humility to believe that maybe they know things I don’t. Here was a guy on the cover of Time magazine in 1989, who had the No. 1 best-selling business book in the 1980s, had the No. 1 television show. There is a rumor that I cannot verify that NBC was offering him $12 million per episode.

He likes to mention that.

I know but per episode?!

Mr. Speaker, we are talking about a possible president here.

You are talking about a guy who was smart enough to build Trump Towers, build lots of hotels, build lots of casinos, and own the Miss Universe contest. He is not stupid. For many people, that seems to be inconceivable because they have a university Ph.D. theory of being smart.

Didn’t you write your Ph.D. thesis on the Belgian Congo?

I did, and I wrote my master’s thesis on Japanese and Russian railroad construction in the 19th century.

I'll say this for Newt: he's consistent.

Limbaugh cracks the code:

quote:

"Why do they hate Ted Cruz so much? Well yeah, partly it’s because he’s conservative. But why hate that?" said Limbaugh, who has not endorsed. "It’s more than—it’s threatening. And I’m just going to tell you in the case of Ted Cruz, every damned one of these people knows full well that they are not in his league in terms of IQ, in terms of intelligence, in terms of talent and ability. They can’t compete with him."

Members of the media then "ignore him," Limbaugh said, and when he does appear for interviews, "they usually resort to tactics of intimidation or putting him down or snark or some such thing to try and mask his intellectual superiority."

"They can’t keep up. They despise him. He’s a threat in that regard. You combine the kind of raw native intelligence Cruz has with his heartfelt conservatism and you have personified what the left fears the most, therefore what they hate, what they despise," Limbaugh continued, adding, "They know they’ll never be able to corral Cruz, they’ll never be able to control him. They will never be able to impugn him intellectually."

The media goes after him "in other ways," Limbaugh said, remarking that they will "do anything to ride and run down his personality or individual characteristic quirks or what have you. But they can’t take him on on substance."

Well I mean head to head polling this early is already meaningless but it is even more so without context, if Trump or Cruz is not doing much better with female and minority voters in key swing states and I mean much better than Romney then the election is already over. Romney only lost by less than 4 points in the national results even though he was slaughtered in the EC.

It is students who have come into a university with an inaccurate perception on the role of institutions. It is, in essence, children wishing to be babied and to do so in a manner which discourages diversity.

While those students may demand diversity, their actions tell otherwise: they do not want diversity of thought, they want diversity that is only skin-deep. They are the problem with American culture, and should be the ones facing an institutional ratfucking by Emory administration.

Unfortunately, one is free to bully others in America for their sincerely held political and religious views if the form of bullying hides behind a cloak of 'progressive' rhetoric and political correctness.

Every time I see Ted Cruz talk or read articles about him I have an overwhelming wish for him to die violently. I just stop watching, because that's not really a great place to be, but if there's one person this cycle who deserves to have the skin flayed from his body and be showered in salt, it's loving Ted Cruz.
