JasonQ42,Jason, you're missing the biggest point here. You are blasting the Right as being PC. The student in question was not PC. He was offended that his Jesus was the butt of the experiment. Being a religious is not being PC. My hat is off to him for standing by his convictions. PC'ness isn't conviction, it is caving in to what others' convictions are. I am a university professor, and I can assure you I would never consider using such an example. Use something that doesn't offend. The professor had to know that some would step on the name, thus offending others. Like some have said, we would not consider using Mohammed or Buddha or Krishna. Why? Because THAT would not be PC.

Here's what devastates me more than anything else: I spent 22 1/2 years as a U. S. Army officer to help protect our freedoms. One of our most treasured (or used to be) is the freedom to vote. Ten million fewer voters turned out for Obama this time than in 2008. This should have been a HUGE opportunity for him to be thrown out along with his Marxist friends. But, voter apathy, ignorance on issues, failure to understand the dire nature of Socialism on this once great nation, and the tipping point that we may reach that will kill our freedoms, was the poison that killed our opportunity Far too many Americans feel their votes don't count, so they simply don't go. I fear for our nation's future. God help us.

My only concern about getting a CCP is that "Uncle" will know you've got one should they, one day, decide to force us to turn them in to be destroyed. I do not intend to do that even if possibly facing a prison sentence for defying the law if enacted. That becomes a Catch 22, though, in that I'm legally restricted from carrying under current law. So, do I get a CCP, do I take a chance and carry one anyway (not inclined to do that), or do I just stay protected at home and take my risk away from home? I prefer carrying legally, but I don't want "Uncle" having access to that information. It's kind of like Facebook. I don't do Facebook because I don't need Big Brother knowing everything that I do; they do monitor those kinds of sites.

Hey, vclai9f0a, stop posting this advertising crap on a discussion blog. We don't give a rip about your stuff, and you web site is probably a scam anyway. It is offensive to those who wish to debate. Anybody who needs to use a free site to advertise like you must be a pretty inept business person (assuming you are one, that is)

In the case of the Egyptian populace, they lose either way. If Shafiq wins, then it's pretty much business as usual, and civil unrest will likely start up again with the killing of thousands of civilians much like is happening in Syria today. And, Israel may become the convenient target to draw the World's attention away from their internal affairs. If Mursi wins, then Sharia law will ensue and they move backwards to the Stone Age again. One is a military ruler (dictator) and the other is an Islamic hard-line extremist. And, not only will Egypt suffer, so will, potentially, the entire Western World and it becomes another base of support for international terrorism. One could be the catalyst for causing the Middle East to go to war.
