I did not use "we are not God" as an argument against ordination of women. I said that we are created in His image and likeness...but that does not mean we are mini-gods.... And it does seem to be ego and jealousy. The arguments as presented here are typically rooted in "if he can, so can I," "I want to," " women can do everything men can - probably better" ....never ONE word about service or love or giving....just a sense of egotistical feminism...not exactly the proper basis for ordination.

DEMS seem to think we forgot about Benghazi. We haven't. It sickens many to know that Hillary and Obama knew about the attack 5 mins into the ordeal. And yet for 13 hours they did nothing even as the soldiers asked, begged, and pleaded for air support. One could very well make the argument that Hillary and Obama's actions or inactions lead directly to the deaths of those soldiers. But they don't want to hear that because it's not pretty or a lie.

Where to begin? - Stop trying to conflate 2 different issues. Just because climate change is real doesn't justify the horrendously irresponsible, wasteful, and criminal manner in which the Liberals have handled the energy portfolio. There have been ample warning signs, all ignored by the Liberals, that the green policies would be and have been economically disastrous. There are much more responsible ways to tackle climate change. - At least the cut in GST potentially had the added benefit of spurring consumption and economic growth. The faux reduction in rates proposed by the Liberals is simply spreading out the costs over a longer period and incurring more interest expense in the interim. Its like the gimmick of issuing monthly hydro bills to make the amounts seem smaller. Do you think a credit card company is doing you any favors if it lets you repay your balance with interest over a longer period? If so, you must be an economic adviser to the Liberal government.

Trump is the most virulently, militantly anti-life president in history. Folks who voted for him on "pro-life" grounds were duped, just as those who voted for him because they believed his promises about health care were duped.

Bergdahl had multiple options, both inside and outside the military, to report any perceived unit problems. Even contacting his congressman, or immediate "whistleblowing". Heck, although not allowable, people might even have understood if he had called up the press. But no. People report perceived problems all the time. However, he is the ONLY soldier out of milllions of US servicemen in the last 40 years, to make the choice to desert in combat, and misbehave in front of the enemy. This is in no possible fathomable way acceptable, much less with "honor and distinction", for military behavior, reporting perceived problems, or anything else.

Yup, My Opinion. You hit the nail on the head. Man has decided that the world revolves around him. He has now named his new dynasty: The Anthropocene Era.

I quoted the commenter about the poll. Did you read what Goldberg said or just go right to the posters? I have no responsibility to find, verify and publish Goldberg's sources. Get real! When did you ask me about military weapons? I responded to your whine about Gallup. "Heller" was cited and followed in "Caetano" and suggested that the Massachusetts decision to say only firearms in existence at the time our country was invented was "bordering on the ludicrous". Any regulations have to permit self-defense with modern weapons by non-criminals. They don't have to meet your desires. You will have to deal with that concept!

So John, seriously, are you being obtuse or just vexatious? The 2nd Amendment is an established part of our governing document, the Constitution. No American need 'advocate' for the right to bear arms, we already have it. We need to be sure the government respects it. The right to bear arms is a natural right, just as a mother bear has the right to defend her cub with teeth and claws, the human being has the ability, and hence the natural right, to 'keep and bear arms,' that is, to own and carry weapons. As for your grammar-challenged reading of the 2nd Amendment, it does not say ONLY members of well regulated militias may have their natural right to bear arms un-infringed, it says, in a qualifying independent clause, that the people's keeping and bearing arms 'shall not be infringed' BECAUSE their having arms makes a well-regulated militia possible. The militia commonly reported for duty for a short period and commonly supplied their own weapons. They thus help secure a free state.

The Globe should also be smarter and do real balanced investigation. They are ignoring the 100's of 1000's of times women tried to falsely accuse men of sexual assault and failed.

Your observations here are accurate. Historically, The Sears Armory went up for sale but no one could afford to purchase it. Prior to that, Eric Sten had pushed for it to be a homeless center, but that was converted to an ODOT workstation/"Emergency Shelter." When the situation in PDX got out of control, Hales was easily able to declare the female homelessness situation an emergency and open the site. SW PDX is already home to a large # of Somalian immigrants and a large, low income housing project was built at the old Eagles Lodge under Mayor Potter.

It's a fair question. My answer is we apply the law in a fair and rational way, we don't succumb to racist hysteria, and we don't compromise on our values. The Gov't should be preparing for this scenario, as it will require additional resources for e.g. the CBSA if they have to start processing huge numbers of claims.

Maybe two decades ago Kasich could have won as a Republican but not now. And the Dem's massive losses at every level of government means–at the presidential level, anyway–that they can never go back after going black, so Kamala Harris is inevitable.

The sample size was not huge but large differences between the groups in the test are statistically significant. If the two groups are similar enough, then the study results of the large differences are mathematically and scientifically meaningful ("significant"). The researchers said that there were differences of about 5% at most between the two groups. The outcomes which differentiated the two group like income, etc were much greater than 5% difference. These differences lead to the figure of about 7 dollars returned for every dollar invested in the preschool program. Group random selection was criticised mainly because the control group had more kids with IQs less than 87. Also the claim that preschool teachers give more attention to the kids that they knew had low IQs. Researchers say that all kids were treated equally and the low IQS kids did not have special attention. It was a preschool and NOT a special ed program .

The entire media (except for Fox news) championed Clinton. Nobody was to blame but Clinton and only Clinton for losing the elections. Clinton lost because she took two Blue states for granted enabling Trump to campaign there and turn those two Democrat strongholds to vote republican. The things that Trump promised the people is exactly what Trump has been doing since he got elected. And all this negative talk about Trump is nothing more than talking points of the opposition media. A media that has shown to lack integrity and at times seem to be The Inquirer by broadcasting and publishing "bombshell" news that turn out to be fake, false or a dud. The latest is this so-called "secret" back communication with Russia which actually is nothing. And the opposition media will continue to make something out of nothing. While Trump has been attempting to bring the US out of its economic stagnation, the media continues to oppose Trump every step of the way.

H.L. Mencken saw this coming in 1920: "All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I don't disagree about vilifying, and I am as guilty as the rest. The part that really winds me up, is when the Republicans will try to brand themselves as the party of personal responsibility and family values, when for the most part, they exhibit neither.

I would disagree. Selective breeding for desired traits among genetic codes that already exist in the targeted organism, even if they are recessive, involves only using what the animal started out with. And it is done in a 'natural' fashion.Viruses may, indeed, appear to cause horizontal transfer of some DNA codes to other creatures, in *extremely* rare instances, similar to the odds of being struck by lighting and nailed with a meteorite while dancing on a tightrope in a tornado as you juggle flaming bowling pins with your toes... in other words, 'them some slim chances, thar.' Yes, some *Very* scant evidence suggests it is possible. Frankenfoods, however, take dissimilar genetic codes from species that would never mix in anything other than a test tube and come up with something whacked. Still not eating it. I want it LABELED, so I can remove it from my diet. As stated above, *I* don't FEAR it, but I DO fear what these Frankencreatures could do to our 'natural' environment.

The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings. Yet at this very point it becomes quite clear that only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity. Here we must come to terms with the fact that in must cases a genuine internal liberation becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it. (4)

There has been at least one recent study that strongly suggests that PTSD among veterans is mostly caused by brain damage that occurred prior to entering the military. Considering the type of folks who enter the military, I wonder if the cause isn't mostly football. It is well-known that the brain damage that occurs in football leads to increased suicidal thoughts, depression and suicides. Maybe the veterans support services need to begin before people even join up.

I'm really unimpressed with how the current government is handling all things military recently. Total lack of transparency and honesty. The Conservative critic is correct to note that the government has a large and growing "credibility gap" here. If they could just be upfront and honest about everything I might be willing to let some things slide as "cleaning up mistakes that were made previously", because let's be honest, Canada's military procurements have been a disaster ever since Mulroney left office (if not before then).

The character limit! You later state, "where a guest [on Fox News] claimed there are compounds." The fact that this guest was from the Clarion Project didn't raise any suspicions? Finally you ask, "How did we get from that to the media, and some on the left, saying I called someone a terrorist, or said they lived in a compound?" That seems to be a reasonable inference considering how you mention the one (a member of the MoA recently ran for state election) and the other ("the group, associations, and past history" which is notable for one thing by the Clarion Project) in the same paragraph on your show's FB page. Is this a rhetorical question or is it honestly difficult to connect the two? My criticism is not about bigotry but with your judgment. A lack of judgment resulting in a man in fear of private citizens who could reasonably infer from your words that he is a militant Muslim.

First, this new strength coach is in trouble if the players want to sue. His qualifications are lacking. No exercise science or anatomy. Just a recreational degree along with marketing. Second, the new head coach mentioned bigger and stronger. This strength coach is doing the opposite. You don't dominate your opponent by doing pushups and updowns. You get fit but not dominant. The way you get dominant is to lift big weights: Bench 400+, Parallel Squat 600+, Power Clean 300+. You do multi-joint lifts. You supplement this with flexibility, speed and jump training (plyometrics). This is basic stuff.

Mr. Crum, you demonstrate why no approach to commenting will ever be regarded as perfect. People have different opinions about what is perfect and what is perfect to one will not be perfect to another. Perhaps you should just focus on the ideas and when you don't like them, rather than taking it personally, respond to the ideas (or not) to get your viewpoint across. In doing so, however, it is important to respect the fact that some other folks will just never view the world as you do. Respecting diversity requires accepting differing viewpoints. If you don't agree, present your perspective and evidence (or not), but don't expect others to accept your viewpoint. P.S.

You are making a big assumption that school and district administrators can recognize successful teaching. The minimal training they receive in administrative programs doesn't preclude bad decision-making. Oregon public school teachers haven't enjoyed tenure for many years, so contracts that ensure fair treatment are especially important. A good contract is a map to teacher development, and when necessary, teacher dismissal. A good administrator knows that. If more administrators did their jobs effectively, you would have less to complain about.

Hi Cathy, I'll repeat: since you claim that killing feral predators is not the the answer, please provide a solution to the problem which does not include killing. "Giving the public carte blanche" is an interesting comment for an American, because in America the public ARE the rulers, and public servants are supposed to be SERVANTS serving our pleasure, not some noble aristocrats who may or may nor deign to allow we peasants to take care of problems on our own. In other words, we peasant have carte blanche to do anything we want to unless we accord our public servants authority to enforce general prohibitions. I understand that runs diametrically opposite the ethos of Hawaii, which is gut level control freak aristocratic. That we elect our aristocrats does not change that. Hawaii state culture is utter control freak in every breath, as in Everything which is not explicitly permitted is prohibited. "Giving the public carte blanche" is utterly a Hawaiian objection.
