Will the Committee be permitted to use the term "climate change"?

Historically cults tend to splinter following the death of the founder as different factions compete for control.

To be fair, if you were a fascist like Stephen Miller you wouldn't like it either.

Okay. I've made my point. Have a nice day.

I have no problem with you disagreeing, I just think you are wrong. Reagan was very bad. Nixon too. But Trump is existentially catastrophic. One can reasonably differentiate them.

The yellow building in the center of the photo is the Slater Mill. First textile mill in America. Powered with green energy, it ignited the industrial revolution in North America.

Yes, very bad, I agree, but it is still a reasonable position to have supported Reaganism and now reject Trumpism. It seems to me that Tom Nichols' most common theme is that the left should encourage conservatives to make this distinction, as many (not enough) have.

Sure you can. It's a reasonable and quite common position among conservatives. I think Reagan's policies were bad for the country, but not at all comparable to the catastrophic horrorshow Trump is inflicting on the world.

NB: Cruz didn't defend the 1st A for reasons of principle, he defended it as pragmatic political strategy.

Right.

Trying and succeeding are two different things. But I see now you intended sarcasm, which often doesn't carry well online and results instead in confusion.

I read it twice. Are we talking about the same Ron Reagan Jr??

Thanks. Fair. The qualification makes it all a bit tautological, but fair. I think people comfortable in their "faith" are often happy to let others be, and to find their own way.

Do they go about demanding that others agree with them?

What about non-aggressive atheists and non-aggressive evangelicals?

You're joking, right? Sarcasm often does not carry well online.

It's helpful to explain and post. Most folks are not familiar with BLS and process because they never had any reason to be - now they do.

The better question would be: "Why does the President feel that he has to so compulsively and repeatedly lie to the American people, and how are we to distinguish among all the lies those that are important and deliberate rather than merely inconsequential and habitual?"

The Executive's job includes setting soft drink recipes? Is that in Article II somewhere, or was that done by amendment?
