Love him or hate him, he was a driving force in talk radio for decades. https://www.foxnews.com/media/rush-limbaugh-dead-talk-radio-conservative-icon Mods, feel free to relocate this thread if this isn't the place for it, but given his influence on conservative/republican thought, I...

Dutch historian Rutger Bregman made was invited to speak at the Davos World Economic Forum; basically a billionaire's meeting. He made the news when he used the opportunity to call out the elites on their hypocrisy. Now he was interviewed by millionaire Tucker Carlson of Fox News. The uppity...

Conervative-but-not-crazy columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer announces that his retirement has been compelled by his imminent demise. His positions were often hard to swallow, but he was always intelligent and knowledgable, and his personal story -- getting through medical school and...

Andrew Bolt, is a right wing pundit, things like this only give people like him ammunition. http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/andrew-bolt-says-he-wasnt-going-to-be-humiliated-during-unprovoked-attack/ar-BBCgJz3?li=AAgfIYZ&ocid=mailsignout

Only posting the first paragraph http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/08/mass-lesbian-farm-infiltration-is-obamas-best-scheme-yet.html Barack Obama is nearing the finish line of a presidency filled with accomplishments ranging from death panels to FEMA camps to the importation of Sharia...

This is kind of a remarkable exchange. Count all of the Rule 0, Rule 11, and Rule 12 breaches in there. Remember, my friends, Charles Blow is a columnist for the New York Times. Is he really any better than Sean Hannity on Fox News? I've posted a little bit of the transcript for those who...

George Will is now an independent, says the best course for conservatives is to make sure Trump loses. Didn't say how to do that. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/25/politics/george-will-donald-trump-leaving-republican-party-election/index.html

Amusing and biting. Highlights: And a question for the audience: "Leaving aside that everything that comes out of his mouth is at best meretricious claptrap that would shame even Newt Gingrich". Without looking, which candidate is being so described?

Bill Kristol is predicting a Rubio-Fiorina/Fiorina-Rubio ticket. And thus we know this won't happen because Bill Kristol is always wrong about everything. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2574661/

For the last thirteen years Fox News has trotted out one Wayne Simmons on dozens of occasions to express opinions on various matters of "national security", "anti-terrorism operations" and "international relations" based on his 27 year service with the CIA. Except it was all a lie and Simmons...

So that's what you do huh? You wait until you find an argument with a wide enough latitude that you can inject your crazy arguments into them and make a run for the hills? As if me "admitting" that the US doesn't have a perfect and unblemished record of political genius and sacrifice says a...

Maybe "supporter" is too strong a word, but Frum seems to have a favorable view of him: Why the GOP Just Can't Quit Donald Trump Incidentally, the very first sentence of the article made me wonder how do logger and Elf Grinder feel about Trump's support of single-payer (i.e. nationalized)...

Sam Harris has now posted an email exchange between himself and Noam Chomsky. It's quite amusing in a way. Harris seems to have been emboldened to email Chomsky following Krauss's discussion with Chomsky earlier this year and to say that he would like a public discussion of their differences...

I wasn't quite sure where to put this video because a number of topics come up, so I put it here in one of the more popular subforums where it is likely to be seen by a lot of people. I think these topics are of general interest to a lot of people here. Lawrence Krauss introduces Chomsky and...

The idiocy of Neal Boortz continues. He went on an extended rant on his radio show today to the effect that there is no Constitutionally specified right for any citizen to vote in a Presidential election. Has Neal even READ the Constitution? Doesn't seem like it or he'd know about the...

Today I saw this speech by Judge Andrew Napolitano. Being a Venezuelan and additionally someone who doesn't follow politics that much, I can only speak from a very layman point of view. I find his speech sensitive and consistent to the most basic human aspects of being a citizen of any country...

Apparently conservative David Frum, formerly a Fox News pundit among other things, has been thinking critically for some time, (Pundit changes view based on (*gasp!*) evidence) Frum was interviewed on CNN's Reliable Sources this morning** about this piece in the New York Magazine: When Did the...

I've watched quite a few Noam Chomsky videos on Youtube and his descriptions of how the US works (he almost never talks about anything not related to the US), including its foreign policy and its electoral system, how big business interests influence it all. One curious thing is that in his...

I'm a recent addition to this forum, and as I parse through the threads I notice more than one person posts a soundbite from one interview or another and starts heckling him and calling him wrong and bigoted without even bothering doing proper research to see if what he says has merit, or maybe...

Ann Coulter couldn't help but jump on the Beck "assault" bandwagon and use her weekly Human Events column to produce a totally classy screed shilling her new book. If you can handle reading the whole thing, note how many times she uses the phrase "liberal mob"...

I rarely venture into the politics sections, but I thought this article warranted it: I was wrong about same-sex marriage by David Frum. I'm not a terribly politically active person, and before this article I couldn't even have told you who David Frum was. But the fact that a socially...

I just came across this article in slate.com http://www.slate.com/id/2293541/ Very interesting Chomsky's repeating of trutherlies, distortions and lack of research.

Attorney and "Ring of Fire" radio show co-host Mike Papantonio, guest-hosting on MSNBC Ed Schultz's radio program yesterday, revealed two things -- he hates old people and wants tea party retirees to hurry up and die. "you have these senile old boneheads that are ol-, I mean, check, look at the...

This one, is a good one. "There are no moderates, on the other side." - Bill Maher If you have watched the Nov. 5th episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," and you have a modicum of intelligence, your reply post will be taken seriously. Otherwise, you are wasting your time and more...

I've been going through my deconversion from Christianity for the last few months, and up until now, I've been a vehement supporter of Glenn Beck, alll but believing everything he said to be good and true because, as far as i could tell, he was a good, honest man, and intelligent man. Now...

This sucks. I'll be pulling for him. http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2010/06/an-update-from-christopher-hitchens.html

S. E. Cupp has been on my radar for a while. She has appeared numerous times on Fox News promoting her new book on the media's attack on Christianity... The selling point is that she is an atheist. Linky. Now this could go in Social Issues or Politics, but I wondered what others made of her...
