intriguing story on conservative persecution complexes

December 28, 2007

A friend of mine (who works at Yale) sent me this story about a Yale student who staged several incidents to make it seem as though he was being persecuted for his conservative views. While I am always amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to make…

Great NYTimes article today on Mitt dropping out of the race. Why didn’t his campaign go anywhere? Put another way, those dreaded secularists – whom Romney himself criticized in his off-tune and hugely miscalculated speech on religion in December – were far more likely to vote for him than were…

Mormon Social Responsibility: Marshaling the Business Community in Defending Religious Freedoms.

March 8, 2011November 7, 2024

Update: Keynote speaker (and University of Utah president) Michael Young brought this surprising bit of advice: Mormons ought to be “among the most passionate civil libertarians in the world” to preserve religious freedoms. “We all ought to be members of the ACLU,” Young said Monday in a question-and-answer session after…

    McCain was always expected to do better in NH. But it’s a pretty small state and it’s hard to say whether McCain is really on top generally or not. Really, all this has done is through the Republican primary into further doubt, which makes for a much more interesting race. Good news for political junkies like me.

    Of the GOP nominees, I’d prefer McCain over the others.

    Me, too. I support Barack Obama. McCain will be hard to beat in November.

    I am so glad that john mccain won,and that mccain taught romney a lesson,that when you play dirty with negative advertisements and commercials your destined to lose,like romney lost to mccain,and john mccain once again proved when you turn the other cheek like our lord and savior Jesus Christ tell us to do,were destined to win it all,at this moment I know all the winners are proud of their accomplishments,go huckabee and mccain and keep winning,because every time you guys win,you put pressure on romney,which is good news for us christians.

    Good to meet you, truthteller!

    John McCain is famous for a lot of things. Turning the other cheek is not among them. He is actually quite feisty when his opponents attack him.

    I’m leaning more towards HC.
    she has more practical on-the-ground experience than BO. she may have come off a bit abrasive, but she’s been unwarrantly attacked by rightests.

    Hill & Bill would be a terrific 1-2 punch if favor of america & americans.

    if not her, Edwards is also qualified.

    If MR doesn’t win MI, he’s out.

    If McCain gets the R nomination, I’ll probably vote for him. Otherwise I’ll probably vote for whichever Democrat gets the nomination.
