"You do realize women were the first programmers?" Ok? "I am a software engineer, Senior, in my field." Congrats. we call this logical fallacy an appeal to authority. "... saying women are biologically inferior to men when it comes to software engineer is logically invalid." Great. Luckily he never says this. We call this logical fallacy a strawman. "Does that mean men and women don't have differences? Absolutely not." Now you’re getting it. "…he was asserting opinion as fact." Erm... but you've just stated it as fact ... because it is a fact. "The truth is, there [is] a plethora of reasons for a lack of gender diversity in technology." He agrees and says so. "The only people who don't want to accept it, are the same people that see no value from diversity." Literally, the first sentence of the thing is, ‘I value diversity and inclusion.’ “Diversity of people, leads to diversity of thought.” That’s where you’re wrong bucko. Now you're asserting opinion as fact.

You do realize women were the first programmers? I am a software engineer, Senior, in my field. I have met some of the smartest women on Earth, who were software engineers. From Ada Lovelace to Anita Borg, saying women are biologically inferior to men when it comes to software engineer is logically invalid. Does that mean men and women don't have differences? Absolutely not. Anybody as educated as Mr. I-Need-To-Write-Manifestos would know he was asserting opinion as fact. The truth is, there are a plethora of reasons for a lack of gender diversity in technology. The only people who don't want to accept it, are the same people that see no value from diversity. Diversity of people, leads to diversity of thought, which is the essential ingredient to innovation.

"While some may think that our 'open doors' gives us some moral ascendancy over the U.S" Some? 99.9% is not 'some'. And your "huge immigration" has nothing whatsoever to do with this. That's pure economics and politics. There have been dozens of articles here criticizing America for trying to control it's southern border and thousands of posts calling Americans racists for trying to do so. This is karma at a gigantic level.

However nasty the Trump administration is towards illegal immigrants/migrants (although I think the previous administration was pretty tough on them too albeit far more quietly), I really don't see why Canada needs to be the next jumping point for this. We have huge immigration (one of the largest per capita in the world), and a robust refugee system as well. These people are neither immigrants we've accepted or refugees fleeing for their lives. While some may think that our 'open doors' gives us some moral ascendancy over the U.S., this is not good policy and helps no one. In the end, probably not the illegal immigrants themselves. We should not be encouraging them to enter Canada.

In all fairness the NDP have only been in power for a matter of weeks and sadly when we change governments we replace appointees running these programs and payout huge severance packages. You can expect a change of management at this organization and hopefully the focus will be on gangs and criminals that have been that have been convicted rather than the individual that law enforcement feels may have benefited from a crime but has no ability to prosecute.

What makes no sense is the PM attaching himself to this story. And in case you missed the developing story, NK has threatened the territory of Guam with a nuclear strike. I am confounded with your response of one story not having to do with the other given the history of NK imprisoning innocent foreigners and using them as a bargaining chip, which typically leads to the easing of tensions. Although a different country, China and the U.S. developed dplomatic relations which began with a game called ping pong.

continued: What is clear is that the Bush administration didn’t like the Agreed Framework and were looking for a reason to get out of it. The cheating allegation turned out to be that reason. But the real reason wasn’t the cheating. It was the pretext. The Bush team didn’t like the concept of the deal itself. Giving things to the North Koreans to get them to do things we wanted was rewarding misbehavior, ‘appeasement’ they said. The proper way to handle such a situation was to get them to fall in line by the threat of US power, which is to say US military power. Shaking the stick. Rattling the saber. Warmongering.
4
Pure fiction. North Korea made its nuclear break out under George W. Bush – not under Bill Clinton and not under Barack Obama. A key part of that backstory is that over the course of the late 90s the US negotiated a series of agreements called the Agreed Framework which shuttered the North Koreans nuclear weapons program in exchange for a combination of commitments and aid. The Bush team argued that the agreement was ‘appeasement’ and that the US had caught the North Koreans cheating on the agreement during Bush’s first term. That was false pretense like so much of GW's reign. It is important to have an accurate record of what happened in the recent past just on general principles. But understanding what happened in this case is quite important as a guide for future action both in the current Korea situation and with Iran and the nuclear agreements President Trump is trying to abrogate under similar false pretense as GW's false pretenses.

Ah, when clarity reigned and ambiguity was a sin. In all seriousness, there is a growing Cult of Clarity in the Church that does long for the days of yore. In fact they insist we go there, leaving behind the evil and sinful modernity of Vatican II, altar girls, nuns on buses, contracepting couples, popes who don't judge, bishops who don't excommunicate, a Notre Dame that doesn't indoctrinate, laity thinking they have a voice, and a publication calling itself "Catholic" without an imprimatur. Bring back the great homily: "The Twist, Gateway to Lust." Make scrupulosity a virtue again. License theologians. Make 8th grade girls stand in front of the classroom to make personal pledges of chastity. Ban Hans Kung and Gary Willls books from the church library. CAEL--I'll bet you have some examples too. All 100% factual. If not believed. "It's a grave sin to watch the Miss America pageant." "Peyton Place is a condemned book." "Catholics can't go to Woodstock, but they can go to Nam."

And I'm sorry if it sounds like bragging, what I have done is possible for anyone with drive and a goal to chase. There is still a lot of money to be made in the trades. Success does not require a college degree, they help, but at some point it might not be worth the time or money initially. Work through college and you'll never have student debt.

I got a GED, got an apprentice position within a utility, studied my butt off to earn state licensing, used my employer's tuition assistance for technical school and college classes. Throughout the last ten years I've looked for side work to supplement the fun stuff. All this happened after my flooring business went bankrupt in 2007. I still haven't earned a bachelor degree, as I only take a class every other semester and last year I broke the six figures threshold.

So let me get this straight: Bishops who move to defrock priests, like SNAP has been demanding are bad. They are looking out only for their interests. On the other hand, bishops who do not defrock priests--are equally as bad and equally guilty about looking out for themselves. Is there anything the bishops can do to appease SNAP?

The petition seems cynical. The petitioners know: - The State, having determined that Shanley does not satisfy the criteria for civil commitment, has no legal authority to file against him now. - The Archdiocese of Boston, having imposed the penalty of laicization on Shanley, no longer has any authority over him. Laicization is not intended to protect families or communities; it is not even intended to penalize errant priests. Laicization is intended to protect bishops by severing the relationship between them and men whom they once described as "sons." Sean O'Malley will not lift a finger or spend a dime to help Shanley. The policy of the bishops is to discard accused priests by laicizing them. No one should think that the community is safer as a result of that policy. It isn't. What Shanley needs is what we all need: safe, secure housing; adequate healthcare; appropriate professional services; and friendship. That's what builds a safer community. Shame on O'Malley for turning away.

And if you look at tribal societies untouched by industrialization, you see that it is the males who hunt, not the females, three published literature items below: "Hunting behavior and strategies of the Valley Bisa in Zambia" "The Kwoma are a people of northeastern New Guinea who live in the Peilungua mountains... only males hunt ..." "Northern nearctic.... only males hunt for prey; females rely on males..."
4
"Can you name any mammalian species that eats meat where females either do not hunt or hunt much more rarely than males?" Sure, Homo sapiens. And you can see it in the cave paintings of Europe of 30,000 years ago: The dozens and dozens of hunting humans painted there in hunting groups have male forms, not female, as they charge herds of large four-legged prey.

People should read Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August, before dismissing the folly of two nuclear armed egomaniacs rushing the world toward the abyss. It was such thinking that got us into the World Wars of the past--Pompous bluster of national leaders, goaded and enabled by generals itching to flex their military might. Tuchman wrote it was this false belief by leaders who felt " themselves superior in soul, strength, in energy, industry and national virtual," that led to the cataclysm to two world wars. So much easier to start them, than to end them.

Every American President, including all the Republicans, has "refused to do anything about it". Blaming Mr. Obama is a bit rich. They've all been forced to stand by because Seoul would be blown away in the event of any kind of hostile action. Far from solving this crisis Trump has actually made it far worse.

Trump is solving the problem. Obama and China turned the North Korean issue into a crisis by refusing to do anything about it. They left Trump in a difficult situation and Trump is doing a great job in solving the crisis. The "conventional" way has been a massive failure. It's time for the Fake News and the failed "experts" to stand back and let Trump do things his way.

Don't talk to me about "pro life" while we have a hothead in the White House and enablers in the GOP controlled congress.—AileenUSA on this Memorial of Saint Clare, foundress of the Poor Clares. Moses asks, “did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings [sic], by signs and wonders, by war with his strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors (nuclear weapons) all of which the LORD, you God, did for you in Egypt (and right here through the fruits of academic freedom and freedom of the press) before your very eyes?” (Deuteronomy 4:34). “I remember the deeds of the Lord” (Psalm 77:12a) as we seem hell-bent for a nuclear holocaust. “For the Son of Man . . . will repay each according to his conduct” (Matthew 16:27), meaning conduct has consequences.

Aw geeze, the author like so many other Catholics tries to put a coat of pink paint on Trump by saying he is "good for the pro life cause". Seriously? We have a man-child in the White House having Twitter tantrums and playing nuclear chicken with a man-child in North Korea... until someone miscalculates. It will no longer matter about fetuses or the already born when they are all toast. Culture wars would be the least of our concerns. How quickly we forget that nuclear devastation is not a game or reality TV. I grew up in a hot strike zone during the 50s/60s Cold War. Beginning in grade school we were issued dog-tags so our potentially incinerated remains could be identified by any potential survivors if nukes started to fly. Don't talk to me about "pro life" while we have a hothead in the White House and enablers in the GOP controlled congress. There is not a profile in courage to be found, bipartisan or otherwise.

You should pay closer attention. Like the Conservative government of Alberta, Wall's government squandered the province's oil revenues in a time of high prices.

Naive clueless leftists like Obama enabled another dangerous dictator to pose serious threat against our country. He had 8 long years to implement measures to slow down or even eliminate Kim Jung Un's nuclear weapons development. But no, he did the opposite, and his ignorance helped Kim to accelerate it. Stupid decisions have bad consequences, so now Trump has to deal with a lot worse problem then it should have been.

It would be helpful if these articles contained diagrams or maps that portrayed exactly where the fires are. Some folks are not capable of determining the locations by federal forests and forest service roads. Just a suggestion. I do appreciate all other effort that goes into the reporting.

No. The real issue is we have too many Bears . For decades we haven't had bear problems and no one secured their trash, or took down their bird feeders, or had to keep their homes secured all summer long. Since the 90's the bear population has gone unchecked. Elimination of the spring bear hunt and the idiotic policies of the CPW has created this situation.
10
While that might be necessary in some areas, the real issue is unsecured trash. Communities that keep trash inside or in bear-proof containers don't have these problems.

Yes they do. In 105 counties PP is the ONLY provider. If they go away services are unavailable.
4
Planned Parenthood doesn't provide services that are otherwise unavailable - I don't know why this lie keeps getting told. Do they think it will become true if it is said enough? What Planned Parenthood does is make an incredible amount of money off of abortions every year, and their goal is always to do more and more abortions to increase their profit. Read 'Unplanned' by Abby Johnson for more insider information about what Planned Parenthood is really concerned with.

Sure, but some of these prisoners will never be rehabilitated and should never walk the streets again. You think Paul Bernardo or Dillen Milard can be rehabilitated? Do you want them out of prison? No.
4
To do the work of punishment and rehabilitation of people requires significant intelligence and knowledge. While Canadian prisons are learning better and smarter approaches to this, comments on this thread show a lingering number of Canadian adults stick to adolescent-level cries to 'lock 'em up like dogs'. Such childishness can be ignored in Canada, thankfully.

"We also have to wonder about the individuals who sign up for this kind of work in these places."" Have to wonder? Whom do you expect would sign up for this kind of highly-paid work in these places? Answer: mercenary thugs. Many of whom tried to but couldn't be cops.
4
Canadian need to face the fact, the reality: PRISON IS TORTURE! - It is about retribution. It is not about rehabilitation or prevention. It is about shocking and scaring people to change their behavior. It is much like shock treatment done in psychiatry, you change someones behavior but they won't be able to much else afterwards. But it doesn't work most times. - It is slow torture that slowly destroys a person from the inside out. It is abhorrent and barbaric. Prisons should be reserved for the most violent and dangerous criminals (not for an old man who couldn't pay 10 million in alimony!) - It is more humane to cut someone's hand off as done in the middle east rather than torture them in prison for years. We also have to wonder about the individuals who sign up for this kind of work in these places. - Criminals are in jail because of bad genes, bad parents, bad friends or just bad luck. We should be putting them in a sort of hospital not metal cages.

I'm sorry but that isn't going to stop this person from being the person they just were as a tenant. Obviously this habit/lifestyle of his isn't going to change overnight, and it's likely that he will have criminal charges for stolen property either by theft itself or theft by receiving. He could also face drug charges. It's possible that in the near future he will be incarcerated long enough that he won't have any access to social media so *shaming* will do no good as a deterrent no matter how it's done.

Totally agree...found Reese sort of embarrassing. And the magnitude of terror that Trump is quite possibly about to unleash on the world....has no equal, or defense.
4
This considered essay by Rev. Reese is dependent on several assumptions: that DJT has a conscience, has insight and solid judgment, and can form broad coalitions based on positive, useful concerns and respect. The essay is, therefore, so badly flawed it holds almost no value. We should file it away for use after the next presidential election.

Thank you for the intentionally hurtful comments with the clear intent to evoke an emotional response. I suggested you not personalize or get to emotionally wed to your opinion but that was also a waste of time. I only listed one of the benefits, that you would be less likely to look like a fool, but here's another one: Trolling is ineffective. Since you seem to want to treat me like an elder I guess it is appropriate to treat you like a child. It is tempting to patronize you after such a puerile comment, especially after your complaint earlier about "condescending" as it appears you've earned it, but that wouldn't be helpful for any future discussions you might start or participate in.

Yesterday's TV news sex if the USA is forced to invade NK China will suddenly have the USA right at its border along with nuclear weapons aimed at them. Interesting thought. Go ahead Kimmy baby. Make our day. You so much as aim any rockets in the vicinity of Guam or us you go hari kari. Interesting that China will now have to put their money down after so many years of calling us a paper tiger. Remember what happened in Iraq, Tripoli, Syria? Lots of fun with new high tech weapons we learn to build in Nam. Get a load of all those sub carrying nuclear missiles. Don't need to shoot them all at once. There's enough for China's Three Gorges Dam.

Just as relations with Cuba are reaching a new normal (without regime change), "they" decide to take hostile actions. Yup, makes perfect sense. We don't know who "they" are. We don't have any evidence of what or how. Or why. But "we" are sure it was the Cuban government. Sad - just sad.

Dolan, who swindle money from clergy sex abused victims? Well, take your pick, since you sound like you know who are 'the authentic Catholics'!!! You sound like one of those condescending authentic Catholic without ounce of humility! And so judgmental too! I would not call those people 'the authentic Catholics'!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!

You're counting as Catholics people who label themselves as such, but haven't graced a church pew in years. Those "Catholics" don't count. At my parish, I don't know of a single liberal. Maybe they're hiding from the authentic Catholics.

"As the only adult in the conversation..." Oh, boy. Ranks up there with our PM, McKenzie King's observations about another world leader: "My sizing up of the man as I sat and talked with him was that he is really one who truly loves his fellow man ..Calm, composed and one could see how particularly humble folk would have come to have profound love for the man. As I talked with him I could not but think of Joan of Arc..." The man our Prime Minister sat and talk with was Adolf Hitler.

You have to put an Insurance company's name and supposed account number on the application for registration or renewal. Do you have any verifiable information that DMV checks that?

At least eliminate the most aggressive ones, the garbage bears that have lost the fear of humans.
10
I consider myself a tree-hugger and I have no problem with the hunt. It's the number of bears that needs correction. We're not eliminating bears, just managing the numbers. Makes perfect sense. If we dont, and the bears become an increasing problem, eg, at the golf course, then bears get wiped out. Not good result, so we get rid of a few and the remainder will hide in the woods where they belong.

Ditto - a STEM professional with broad/global/European/R&D experience. I do not make my comments lightly nor to insult anybody - but to contribute to the debate with information and/or experience. Yet the G&M censors many - especially any related to the FN Industry, the victim culture and tiresome whinges about more money. Unless such controversial issues are subject to informed and critcal debate there will never be a solution, no political will to change, merely "Inquiries" ad infinitum. There is a strong left wing and feminist bias, never mind no concept of STEM ( e.g. green energy ) realities - propaganda rules. Sad really - self inflicted and unprofessional. And I await any article about our responsibilities as citizens with hopeless despair. Our "rights"and entitlements ad nauseam - to the neglect of those who contribute to our great country.

I am a surgeon. My children are all professionals. If I post a comment on the G&M " This comment was rated below the civility threshold for publication." Yet my comments are similar to what is published in The National Post or or other large newspapers. My comments are well thought out and reasonable. Yet the G&M has such an extreme left wing bias, they cannot provide rational editorial comment. I am very upset a national Canadian newspaper is dedicated to preventing rational discussion of important topics.

I'm talking about the USA as it is in 2017 compared to how it was in 1930. Since, after all, the poster I was replying to claimed that not much has changed when they wrote this... "Gee, maybe if you took a second and read the article you would see how much hasn't changed in the United States since 1930." To suggest that little has changed in the last 87 years is just brainless.

Donny the Spineless got this from David Duke: "I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists." Of course Donald John Trump is not going to say these people, the white supremacists are wrong because there is more than a little truth in Duke's claim. If DJT had a spine, he would call out these white supremacists a being antithetical to American values. Hell, he might even call them deplorable.

Well stated. And one thing to remember in particular is that this pitching staff, while showing promise is young. That means they make young mistakes, and having not pitched this deep into a season yet they will tend to run into a wall as the season wears on. There is hope for this team to be a serious contender for a few years to come. But anything they do in that regard this year is pretty much gravy.

What prosperity there was, the BC Liberals squandered. They sure did not look after the people. Yes, the rich got richer for 16 years, public education suffered, car insurance tripled, BCers pay for their own health care monthly, the listgoeson and on. The voters were right.

I agree with this view. The 'green' environment is a myth. 90% of people are not 'environmentally friendly' at all. Neither are municipalities and cities; their recovery, recycling, green initiatives arepoor and weak.

It's ironic that it's the three million eco- loving "British Columbians" living in the Lower Mainland and Victoria Area are themselves the biggest threat to the enviornment. It's the latte sipping, Audi driving, jogging path users, skiers and snowboarders, condo builders and their ancestors who built a large community through the use of energy from dirty fossil fuels that are the greatest threat to the natural beauty of Canada's west coast. I have visited the Vancouver area many times and in recent years have come to the conclusion that "British Columbians" themselves have become the greatest blight on the environment. Pipelines are merely a symptom of the actual problem.

Do you always do this when people point out that you're incorrect? No, I didn't say it excuses anything. But calling Antifa "innocent bystanders exercising their RIGHT to freedom of assembly" is pretty misinformed and disingenuous. Especially when that's exactly what the protesters were doing in the first place. They filed for the permit, they did have a RIGHT to express their opinions no matter how ridiculous they are.

I agree, but when the next statue or name change comes along, what should the anti-white nationalists response be? The same thing or just baring witness to the inevitable victory? The statues are being removed, the buildings are being renamed, the flags are coming down, that is the empirical social/political trend. It may not be happening as fast as some want but is attempting to speed it up by violently confronting a minuscule portion of the 323 million people in this country worth this? Especially if the battle over this issue has already been won? So please, don't take-up the argument that our violent imbeciles are better than their violent imbeciles.
10
I think the debate is over far more than the removal of a statue. That removal is a symbolic action which has engendered strong reaction from the White Supremacists/White Nationalists, and, in turn, engendered strong opposition as "counter-protest." The real issues involve race relations in America today. The Charlotteville fiasco is just one manifestation of that huge debate. There are violence-prone individuals in both "camps" and, unfortunately, I fear we'll see more rather than less of that violence in the near future. Gary Crum

Hooray! Now an opportunity for balanced reporting. The only reason I subscribe to ADN is for local news. All other content is heavily biased with AP and NYT stories and liberal commentators. Even the cartoons are left leaning. Hopefully we will see more balanced content including reports from the likes of the Christian Science Monitor and the WSJ. ADN is in bankruptcy because they have lost touch with the majority and prefer fake news to reality. Good luck to the new owners.

Really ? How about all the whales killed by cruise ships that go up and down the coast from Mexico to Alaska ? Or, the cruise ships that cruise to Hawaii ? We hear about the whales that are struck and get stuck on the front of the ships but what about all the whales that wash up dead that were hit and did not get stuck on the front of the ship ? Those whales rot away, no one is able to eat them.
10
We expect criminal prosecutions in this case. The slaughter of this whale- a member of a species that has already been driven to extinction in the Atlantic Ocean- can not be tolerated. The gray whales lucky enough to migrate through Baja California region are particularly intelligent and friendly. These whales approach boats, and seem to enjoy interacting with whale watchers there. This is also a lucrative business that helps support the tourism economy.

Cutting CJ this year would cost them a $1.7M dead money hit. I don't see that happening. Next year, however, there's no dead money and a straight $4.5M salary. He's gone then unless he really steps up this year.
4
Agreed. CJ Anderson is a very average back who isn't very fast, can't be used as a work horse, and can't stay healthy for a full season. He also commands a relatively high salary for a running back. I really can't see him keeping his number one position long. Jamal Charles is much healthier than Denver is letting on. His doctors say he is fine. Charles is making cuts and working out the knees. Denver had a plan from the start to keep Charles out of meaningless games and save his risk for injury for real games. As the season goes on, if he stays healthy, he is going to be getting at least 20 touches a game. So between Charles, Henderson, Ridley, and hopefully an improved Booker, CJ will be lucky if he isn't cut when his salary won't burden Denver with dead money.

IVF clinics fertilize a lot more eggs than they need. The surplus zygotes are destroyed. So they are destroying humans, according to you.
6
Firstly, that fact isn't "according to me--" it's according to science. No one here seems to be disagreeing that life starts at conception....except you. The disagreement is over whether someone is a human or not at conception. IVF clinics try to create life via conception- if conception fails to happen, it means that life never started. I'm trying to see how you're confused on the consistency of that, or why you don't think there is.

These white nationalists are Trump's people, his supporters, and he's emboldened them to make racism the "new normal". He doesn't want to lose their support, and the quote from David Duke regarding this entire incident says it all; "This represents a turning point for the people of this country. We are determined to take our country back, we're going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump, and that's what we believed in, that's why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he's going to take our country back and that's what we gotta do," Duke said. Nice job Trump voters.

Cantoperate, Good going! It proves it can be done. Unfortunately you're right about the state of drug 'treatment' So many people involved and dependent on addicts to staying in the system insuring the recovery/relapse wheel never has a chance to slow down, or stop, which would kill the cash cow and yeah, they'll never let that go without a fight. Too bad because I think in many cases, the 'treatment' industry actually does more harm than good. And what's worse, I think they know it and just don't care.
4
25 years ago, when I began court ordered drug and alcohol treatment, addiction had just started being classified as a "disease". When I asked my treatment counselor why such was the case, she replied, "Addiction is classified as a disease so insurance companies would cover it." The treatment industrial complex is very real and consistently engages in behavior designed to ensure its future viability....which includes keeping addicts running on a hamster wheel. If that hamster wheel ever stopped spinning, the treatment industrial complex would cease to exist and, of course, they'll never, ever let that happen.

So we can expect a link to Trump encouraging neo-Nazis and whatever is in the boy scout speech?
4
The federalist lies to you. And the president WAS encouraging neo nazis in his speeches and continues to do so on a daily basis. Back in 1943 the US War Command published a newsreel film to warn people against the dangers of fascist logic, against it's beguiling nature. It features a powerful speaker making a speech, and somebody cheering him on - until suddenly he finds himself in one of the groups named as an evil threat. Then it continues on with a kindly old man, a refugee from NAZI occupied Europe, explaining to the person how ALL Americans are real Americans - and how he had heard that exact same speech in Europe many times before he could get out. The thing is - that speech, is utterly indistinguishable from the speeches Trump gave ever since he started his campaign and continue to give, including the one he gave recently at a boyscouts meeting of all places ! The generation who fought and died to defeat fascism was pretty damn clear that Trump's speeches are fascist speeches.

Just knowing that about 700,000 Americans died in the Civil War to address the issue of slavery tells me that blacks aren't the only ones that can lay claim to the promises of this country.

"should have no rights, " Unfortunately for you, the Supreme Court disagrees.
4
There is no "1st amendment rights" for hate and bigotry, and that is what the alt-right is promoting. Fascists, like those who put together the far right rally, should have no rights, should be given no opportunity to push their hate, and should be treated as what they are: terrorist organizations. Trump needs to step up and condemn the alt-right instead of cozying up to them.

Here is what Pres. Obama denounced: “We have all seen this bigotry in our lives at some point,” Mr. Obama told an audience of about 2,500 at a concert hall in Dallas. “None of us is entirely innocent. No institution is entirely immune. And that includes our police departments. We know this.” He went on to say Americans, “cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid. We can’t simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness or reverse racism." The occasion was the memorial held for five slain policemen-- killed during a Black Lives Matter protest Thursday night by a black sniper who told police he targeted white officers.

This is a bad article. Am cancelling my subscription. Kendzior hates Trump and cannot write an unbiased article. I see that Trump denounced hate on all sides. Did Obama ever "denounce" BLM after Texas shooting or any of the other violence perpetrated by that group.

No .... based on the sum total of her writings, Ms. Kendzior is anti-Trump, and will be critical of him no matter what he says or does.

I doubt it. If he just came out and denounced the white supremacists as any rationale person would have, I suspect she would have been happy and wrote something else.

Indeed, it's a civic virtue to ridicule and counter their wholly un-American message.

Yeah, they have that right. They also have the right to be ridiculed because of their cowardly stupidity. Welcome to the land of free speech.

The South seceded, yes, decisions taken by each State, for good or bad ... but surely it was their choice. Very few Southerners were slave-owners so surely their rationale was home and homeland more than anything else? I don't know much about 'slave-return laws' but surely they were not enforceable outside the South and I know absolutely nothing about the 'Constitution of the Confederate States of America'...but tell me AJ, that link to that opening paragraph you refer... I will look it up. Do I take it you don't approve of statues of Washington and Jefferson (his home was just outside Charlottesville) and what about America's capital city? You AJ are a zealot!

The civil war was about slavery, slavery and slavery and about absolutely nothing else. Everything else you hear now are after-the-fact rationalizations made up to try and pretend it wasn't about slavery. But every single contemporaneous document or other piece of evidence that exist bar none cite only ONE reason for the South to seccede: slavery. It was NOT about "states rights" - in fact the EXACT opposite: a key motivation was anger at states like New York and Maine for refusing to enforce Southern slave-return laws ! If it was about 'protecting a lifestyle' then that is only true in the sense that this lifestyle was being funded by slavery and they feared trying to maintain it without that. Hell the constitution of the confederate states of America states in it's opening paragraph that NO state may join unless they sign a promise to never, ever abolish slavery. In the opening paragraph. And yes, Washington should be condemned for HIS slaves too.

Loop Antifa into that group of hate also. They were present in force at the rally too, armed and ready to go.

Good point. Every so often the "marching morons" come out; it's nothing new. Now, partly because of the internet, it's a big deal. That "free speech" the U.S. has is a great idea but it doesn't work in the real world. The free speech we have in Canada works just fine for me.

"This reaction is unfortunately the only way to snuff out this terrible movement." Yeah? How did those street riots work out at snuffing out the Nazis in Germany? It only made them more popular. Stop feeding the trolls should apply here too.

I disagree totally with your post- at least in terms of Americans killed. I don't believe that I would be too far into 'stereotypeville' in stating that those who belong to and support the KKK are also active committed members,users and supporters of the NRA and other outlaw groups. very easy to find the stats on how many Americans have been killed by ISIS/ terrorists vs how many have been killed by guns (not to mention opiates.) ISIS is for all practical purposes a 'military venue.'shall we count how many innocents that have been killed by American firepower?? shall we start with Nagasaki? the initial loss of innocent lives was 40,000 followed by untold thousands from radiation and o yes-two days later we did the same at Hiroshima. need more? IwoJima. cause? 1. negligence on the military's part and/ or 2. a WH wish to get the USA into the Japan conflict. (just look at the map. would anybody worth his medals line up all of those ships in an exposed harbor in wartime?). READ HISTORY!!

ISIS has killed approximately thirty thousand people in the last fifteen years. The Kl*n has killed approximately zero people in the last fifteen years. (Some homicides committed by Kl*n members are arguably classifiable as murders by the organization.)

Are they white supremacists or merely celebrating their white diversity and being part of multiculturalism like everyone else? - does Justin Trudeau include whites when he speaks of "Diversity"?

It is premature to advocate for the legalization of recreational marijuana before adequate research can be done to determine any health risks. In a study recently reported on 9 August 2017 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, Barbara Yankey, one of the researchers in the study reported: We found that marijuana users had a greater than three-fold risk of death from hypertension and the risk increased with each additional year of use." Specifically compared to non-users, marijuana users had a 3.42 higher risk of death from hypertension and a 1.04 greater risk for each year of use. "We found higher estimated cardiovascular risks associated with marijuana use than cigarette smoking," said Ms Yankey. "Needless to say, the detrimental effects of marijuana on brain function far exceed that of cigarette smoking," she added. Due diligence is required by public officials before making any decision regarding the further legalization of marijuana.

Since democrats control Hawaii, yes it could be called a democratic bureaucracy. But the fact is republicans have not opposed drug laws. They have been as bad if not worse than democrats so it is not appropriate to just label it Democratic bureaucracy. Come on republicans be true to your pledge of less government and just come out in favor of its legalization!
