Don't forget Eisenhower's original wording described it as the military-industrial-congressional complex. The KC-X would be flying if the original contract to EADS had not been scuttled by Congress:…
I didn't break any guidelines. I didn't introduce this topic and a one-word insult is within normal bounds of civility.
Small arms are used to gain large arms. That's how it always works.
While perpetuating ignorant propaganda. No one speaking against it helps bullshit spread.
George Zimmerman is the man who was subjected to a media-fueled outrage campaign after lethally defending himself against an oversized thug who was on top of him and pounding his skull into the ground. The campaign…
Calling something or someone "disappointing" or "problematic" is how these people evade enumerating arguments while still attempting to establish themselves as intellectually superior to those they are criticizing. They…
Don't worry - it isn't.
Sounds like WordFence. Email notifications are configurable. Turning off most of them is advisable. I've had trouble with users with nominally static IP addresses changing with sufficient frequency to be too much of an…
Doesn't that break admin-ajax.php access? It sits behind /wp-admin/. WordPress recommends allowing access when using IP whitelists. Apache: # Allow access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php <Files admin-ajax.php> Order…

What argument is there to be had with someone who will not even admit the elimination of the ritual immolation of widows as a salutary benefit of colonial rule? There's clearly no reason involved in such a stance but…
We don't determine "poverty" by living conditions but income. As someone who tries to "earn" as little as possible for tax-protest reasons, I can vouch for the parent commenter's statement. By picking the right location…
It is amusing to see English-speaking Indians pulling down healthy salaries working in the American tech sector so adamant about the evils of British colonialism and how much it allegedly retarded their country's…
None of the other sensible men like Napier gave such a pithy and powerful quote on the topic.

The mortality rate for whites 45 to 54 years old with no more than a high school education increased by 134 deaths per 100,000 people from 1999 to 2014. This should surprise no one. These are the people who work…
