A lot of Christians are hypocrites.
What else can you say about a faith that supports torture more than any other faith, all while piously going to large churches and preaching things like "do onto others as you want them to do onto you?" Instead of loving their neighbor, "Christians" are more likely to torture them, just in case the neighbor might know something they don't know about their minister also being a hypocrite.
Someone in that church needs to remind their flock that their "Jesus" died from torture, just a thought.
Of course, a lot of Christians are also fiercely anti-immigrant. I have read the Bible and I didn't see much about 'whites only" It seems incredibly bigoted to preach Christianity and then vote for bigoted Republicans.
Many Republicans are racists.
I don't mind it so much as much as I do them pretending that they're not.
Check out my friend Mario's take on John Boehner's comments. Classic.
Economists are just guessing like the rest of us.
How many times does a journalist have to survey a panel of economists, only to have them miss their 'consensus' prediction by 50% or more until we realize, really, they are guessing.
Watch for the next article, on GDP, on housing sales, on anything and you'll realize, they're all just guessing like the rest of us.
No one is dumber than a Newspaper Executive.
Back in the day at Duke, I was an econ major, much to the amusement of many of my friends now. I learned a little something called "supply and demand."
Let me use small words.
If someone really wants what you're selling, you can raise prices.
If someone doesn't, you better lower them.
So newspapers, faced with double digit declines every six months, are raising their prices.
Genius, I tell you, pure genius.
