So when is removing Trump off the Colorado ballot gonna backfire on the dems?

Not sure, based on what you wrote, what you means by "when," but frankly - and I write this as a Republican who is not a fan of Mr. Trump - but it already has backfired. The consequences of this... Society & Politics

Are you surprised by the results of this graph, about the number of people who think their cultures are superior to other nations?

Actually, no. The states of Europe, since World War II, in general have lost the sense of distinctiveness and national identity that was once so characteristic of them in the pre-World War I era.... Society & Politics

How much do you enjoy discussing politics with others?

Love it. Though, in fairness, I work in politics so it is sort of part of the job, as it were. Also, I must admit, I enjoy debating those who work in politics. They tend to be better educated... Society & Politics

Who is your favorite senator?

Actually, I could not agree more. Senator Kennedy is smart, witty, civil. About what you want in a statesman. Also, I would put in a word for Senator Josh Hawley. He is articulate and while... Society & Politics

Why are people for gun control?

We accept, with any right, the potentiality that it may conduce to evil as much as it may conduce to good. The method by which a right is exercised is less consequential then the social context... Society & Politics

What do you think of de Gaulle's analysis of Russia?

It is nothing less than you would expect from DeGualle. He was a military man. A student of history and a statesman. He understood that nations are driven by their interests - both immediate and... Society & Politics

The remarks by the President of Turkey are not that surprising - especially given that Turkey is a predominantly Muslim nation. However, as it bears on the question of HAMAS achieving its' goals,... Society & Politics

Do you actively watch the news/ world news?

Voted "Yes," though that is probably not strong enough. I watch the news constantly. Mostly I enjoy the debate shows - shows like Fox News' "The Five" and "Outnumbered." To be sure Fox has a tilt,... Society & Politics

Are we supposed to ignore Trump isn’t leading YUGE in the primary?

Not sure of the pedigree of the question. To start, who is ignoring the Mr. Trump's lead in the polls? It is in the published polls. It is in the media. It is not like it is a great mystery or... Society & Politics

Do you enjoy exchanging ideas with people who disagree with you?

First of all, having debated you a number of times, your intellectual capacity is anything BUT limited. It is always a pleasure. Second, yes, I do enjoy debating people I disagree with. Partly, I... Society & Politics

How much of a POS do you have to be to go after a 9 year old child for dressing up for a football game?

Not being a sports fan, I don't - at that level - really have a vested interest in this question. However, here we have, yet again, preening moralists picking on a little boy for their own... Society & Politics

Should the US continue financial and military support for Ukraine?

"Yes." Unfortunately, international relations are played out against a backdrop of national interests, are more subtle, and tend to take longer to play out than Americans, with their limited... Society & Politics

Americans, are you going to stop eating as much meat?

If I were to stop eating meat, I would starve. Mom made me eat my vegetables when I was a kid - and I was no fan. Now I am a grown-up and so my diet is mostly meat. Besides, as far as I am... Society & Politics

Kissinger The most European of Americans has just died. Why so much hatred for him?

The following I write as a fan of Dr. Kissinger, also adding that the suggestion that he is hated because he is "the most European of Americans" is a misplaced analysis. In fact, Dr. Kissinger is... Society & Politics

Was Jimmy Carter a good or bad president, or neither good nor bad?

President Carter was, by far, the worst President of my lifetime - I was born in 1963. Suffice to say this explaining why he only served one term and was defeated by Mr. Reagan. The end of the... Society & Politics

I've just seen the film Napoleon, do you have it and what did you think?

How can the USA strike a balance between its interests in the Indo-Pacific and other regions of the world?

Well, the answer is written, at least in part, in the history books. The USA, after all, fought two world wars, the second of which was definitely - in military terms - global in scope. Not to... Society & Politics

Why aren't there so many Christians in Arab/Muslim countries?

Voted "Something else," though there is a grain of truth in the other answers. In effect, you could vote "all of the above - and then some." The truth is, historically speaking, Christianity was... Society & Politics
