Only because he threw Trudeau in there. You would've been on that comment like a fly on $&@! with likes galore had Trudeau not been thrown in the mix. The commenter was basically spot on however. I'd consider trump only more qualified than the other 2 due to his business background. Trudeau and Kim are simply trust fund useless twits who'd amount to nothing without that label. Don't get me wrong I realize trump received money as a young man too but he turned it into an empire and then got into politics. Didn't use his daddy's name to get him to where he is. You have a warmongering lunatic in North Korea and a useless drama teacher/ski instructor here in Canada. Both would be utterly useless in the real world.

I can think of a lot of people better qualified to post sensible comments, Joe.

You say, "Oh, there is one (1) study which appears to show that high salt intake does not lead to high blood pressure, therefore scientific claims about global warming are bogus." Did anyone ever teach you the words "non sequitur"? How about "Red Herring"? When 97% of scientists agree about global warming, when they produce reams of evidence to support their claims, then only a fool would dismiss them.

That's funny, John, because this research shows just how unreliable even the most esteemed scientists in this country - those with medical degrees - were wrong about something so simple as salt intake and HBP. How could anyone believe anything that these climate guys - many likely "science" guys who couldn't handle the study of medicine - say?

they were way off because 19 states didn't expand madicaid.

That doesnt change the fact that they were off 120% on their enrollment numbers, or how they way off on their Medicare expansion enrollment projections, or their being way off on the cost, or their faulty economic growth projections after Obamacare. Does it Chimbo?

As far as much of the GOP is concerned, McCain is a RINO. I get that it seems odd that they would decide that the isn't a "real" Republican, since he has been one since before many of those who denigrate him were born, but that seems to be the direction the party is going. Hell, they think that Paul Ryan isn't conservative enough for them most days.

Good for Senator McCain. Apparently one member of the vile GOP Senate has morals and places country and the American people over party and right-wing ideology.

It's no longer sound to assume that all fires will burn themselves out; the natural setting in which that is a sound assumption longer exists. Climate change and intensive, long term logging have created forest lands in which the old rules no longer apply. You are exactly right, however, that more money needs to be spent on prevention, although I would add forest restoration and fuel removal to the limits on development you propose. That's what Senator Wyden is calling for too, although the RG doesn't mention it. This article from Oregon Live gets right what the RG leaves out. http://www.oregonlive.com/wildfires/index.ssf/2017/09/wyden_renews_call_for_congress.html

If the fire is on federal land, the feds should pay to fight it if they want. If it is on state land, the state. On private property, that's what we pay taxes and have insurance for. Man seems to be the only thing in nature that doesn't somehow recover from a forest fire. Some, probably most forest fires should be allowed to just burn. Money should be spent on prevention and not allowing structures to be built in high fire areas. Kind of like building below, at, and near sea level and in flood zones.

Cargo has NEVER had the judgement or discipline not to swing at pitches way outside the strike zone. However, he was blessed with fantastic reflexes and was able to hit terrible pitches. Now he has lost some of the cat-like reflex abilities, and still has not learned not to swing at bad pitches.

After watching CarGo his entire Rockies career, i firmly believe he's done...over the hill as far as his peak years go. He has declined rapidly and can't even catch up to a 93 MPH fastball any more. It's sad, but I watched the same kind of decline over his hero's career (ken Griffey Jr.). IF he still had gas in the tank, this is the year to prove it. He has failed because he simply can't. Time to let him go and count blessings that he refused the extension...he did the Rockies a huge favor by strutting his ego and thinking he was better.

Regarding Aegis and ICBMs, Adm. J.D. Syring, June 7, House Armed Services: "There is inherent capability in the SM-3 IIA to engage longer range threats in terms of what we believe the design space is. We have not tested against that longer range threat. But analysis indicates that that could add another layer of defense to Hawaii."

AEGIS cannot shoot down ICBM’s— only the 32 missiles deployed in Alaska and California can do that.

OK, I was replying to someone else's comment implying that there was any kind on net energy export. What I meant was that the increase in renewables was more than offset by the decrease in traditional sources...so the export % for non-renewables actually increased. But you are right, they have done well which I didn't deny. Tell me. If Europe is going to continue to import traditional source energy products, would you rather they came from U.S., Russia, or the Middle East and elsewhere? Although I do support increased use of coal here, I certainly do not want to see more U.S. imports of oil. I would rather see continuation of increased oil production and decreased oil consumption. I also believe that the U.S. could export natural gas to Europe...displacing Russian supply.

actually, your link shows Energy Production. Not imports. BUT, if you follow the links, you find the imports: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/File:Net_imports_of_primary_energy,_2005-2015_YB17.png and what it shows is that imports ARE dropping slowly. They went from 980 M tonnes of OILe in 2005, down to 902 M tonnes of OIL e I guess that is socialism for you. They continue to improve things, while we have idiots here that want to bring back more coal and import more oil.

The talking point about the "GOP is hard at work cutting their taxes" is now made obsolete by the new GOP Tax Reform that "is expected to refrain from cutting the top individual tax rate of 39.6 percent" - from a September 22 news item from Reuters. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-tax/trump-republicans-to-showcase-tax-cut-for-businesses-idUSKCN1BX31E

Now that the rich have greater shares of the nation's income and wealth than ever before, the GOP is hard at work cutting their taxes. The demonstrated superiority of universal, single-payer health care casts a harsh light on the Graham/Cassidy idea. It is hard not to conclude that GOP lawmakers are paid well to lick the shoes of the rich.

I agree, K.W.... I do, however, suspect that fewer & fewer people (far too few) have the necessary attention span -- or enough interest in complex issues -- to bother to read thoughtful analyses of serious matters by someone like Cole, someone who knows Alaska's political history AND does his homework.

You wrote the best column. Your analysis of the major issues was so understandable that even our legislatures could comprehend them. I may have exaggerated a bit about our legislatures, but the rest of your readers certainly came away with a broader insight into the issues impacting Alaska. You will be missed.

We are getting double billed. Its either a carbon tax or emissions trading and our soon to be former Liberal government has decided to do both. Its worse than the former Liberal Green Shift Plan. At least in that plan people were supposed to get a reduction in income taxes.

Yea Dave how many years did you spend in a POW camp? In fact how many years did you spend with me and my buddies during a war serving our country. I would guess none you little creep. Since you're such an expert tell us about the Keating 5 and what was proven that McCain did wrong.Don't even begin to tell me who I should admire you little puke. What the hell have you done for your country? Oh by the way he spent over 5 yrs in hell for little people like you to pass judgement on him

Your admiration is misplaced. Don't you remember the Keating Five? Charles Keating bought McStains back in the '80s, lock, stock and barrel. He should have been prosecuted and gone to jail, but he got a pass, as all swamp creatures do. Steak dinner, indeed.

The only thing I disagree with you on is this. If you live outside the GTA, Vancouver, or other inflated housing market, you may be a lot less vulnerable to declining real estate prices. For example, I'd be very surprised if real estate prices have gone through the roof in Trochu, Alberta (pop 1058).

At the present time, the best mortgage, is having NO mortgage. Why buy when prices will still be heading south for a while in the GTA? Interest rates going up + B20 + Credit crunch + Massive Debt = End of bubble.

Eric forgets to mention the fact that the only way to get "addicted" to drugs is to take drugs, the same principle applies to pregnancy. It is OK NOT to take drugs, just as it is OK not to have sex until you are ready to have a baby. Eric is of the mindset that it is never anybodies fault, and the government should correct the problems that are a result of a persons wrong choices, that is his mantra and most likely will be until...Have fun with Gary, I have been tempted to meet him as well in the past, just to bust his stereotype, but Junction City is a bit far for a City dweller like me.

Yes, way back in the day, I was involved in drugs, (45-47 years ago) The only real change is Fentanyl (sp?) It is 50 times more potent than pure heroin. So accidental overdoses are extremely easy. There has been a huge spike in deaths. But even back in the day, almost half a century ago, heroin was deadly. Anybody that dealt it to over 20 people had a death on their hands every couple of months. You can come to his defense all you want, but believe me, the horror and devastation he brings to his family and loved ones is beyond the pale. And I say "thank you Mr. policeman" This particular case, with the planting of the gun and the quote on the audio, pretty much do sum things up. I'm just saying, if anyone needs killing, its hard drug dealers. I'll stop with the juvenile, but I don't drink. Thanks for the invite. I'm meeting Gary Crum next week.

This is the best insurance this company is able to afford now, and is much like many of the millions of middle class workers who were royally screwed by Obamacare, and why it required repeated lies to push through. Now, in my case, it doesn't matter my disability is pre-existing because Medicaid will not cover any of my disability needs. Furthermore I do no look to the republicans for anything as they are as obnoxious, dysfunctional, political clowns as the democrats.

That particular insurance policy is not working for you, so check out other possibilities. Don't look to Republicans for help, because your condition is preexisting. Stephen J. Remington

Bill: You do raise a very difficult question: If, in fact, we have universal coverage for medical care, at what point does "someone" say "No, we're not going to do that." If you're 80 years old and need a heart transplant, do we "do a Dick Cheney" and give you one or two? Just when, and just who, gives that final NO...we won't spend a million dollars of public money to prolong your life by a few months or years. You've had a "good run"....80's doing pretty well, if you've got the bucks, have at it, but we're going to use that healthcare dollar to serve others." Tough issue.....no easy answers.

10 billion a year isn't enough? Time for responsibility on their side too. Money isn't the answer. Their birth rates are far exceeding any other culture here in Canada , and most don't work or have little income to even support themselves. Is it because they get more money for each kid they have? Maybe we we need to change the laws here. So Why have so many kids if they can't even take care of themselves, talk about no chance for the kids. Why can't we address this without racism screaming from their lips.

Justin is on the right path but he needs to start implementing his program for the First Nations people. This will cost billions but it will be well invested. Residential genocide could take many generations to heal properly this alone could cost billions but it is compensation for the crime Canada committed.

Hmm. So, do you message women you don't find attractive on dating sites? Would you want to marry a woman you're not physically attracted to? Funny how the idea of men being "visual creatures" is simply taken for granted. It is what it is.But how dare women want to date men they're physically attracted to. Who the heck do they think they are?

Let's put two ads on singles sites. The first one will be a plain looking, decent, capable guy who doesn't drink or smoke or do drugs, has his own house and car and a really good, secure job who is interested in raising a family. The second will be a studmuffin with a day's growth of beard, sitting on a motorcycle who calls himself an artist looking for his muse. Which one is going to get overloaded with calls from eager women and which one is going to see a empty mailbox?

What are you talking about ? What Russian propaganda? You mean CNN and the mainstream media are with the Russians ? You sound a bit insane and should get some help. Face it YOU LOST, come back in 3 years or better yet 7 years. ha ha ha Oh and it was your girl and the DNC that RIGGED the election against Sanders. Wake up

What is independent to have voted for the Donald? So you got taken in by Russian propaganda? You should be ashamed to have voted for someone favored by what was previously referred to as the evil empire. Are you proud to have something in common with Putin? Reagan must be spinning in his grave.

Ours here in northern CO is hispanic owner and staffed. Your mileage may vary.

Truthfully-all the plowing companies I know are lawful, and *not* predominately minority employees/owner... they plow businesses and homes in the winter, and they paint parking lots and do landscaping (home and businesses) in the summer :)

ks, China does not deny the facts about climate change and the human causation factor. They are cooperating with other nations to solve the problem by signing the Paris Accord. Trumpet is only concerned about a selfish monetary advantage. China has a BILLION citizens at risk if they do not deal with reality.

For a listing of countries who ignore the facts about climate change, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coal_power_stations One country in particular stands out above the others, but, if one does sub-totaling by country of coal-generation of power, it stands out well above what is intuitive. This country is, of course, China. It generates 337,479 MW in 119 coal-fired mega-plants as compared with its closest "rival", the US, which generates 52,850 MW with 20 plants. Next, India at 45,860 MW with15, and, oddly enough, S. Africa at 32,130 MW with 9. Until "the world", whatever that means, faces the fact that China, almost to exclusivity, is fouling our planet at rates completely unimaginable, then "the world" will play games pretending "concern" by putting their names on a list with China in Paris. The list of planet-foulers with huge power plants (>2,000 MW) is only 20 countries long, and, yes, all but the US list themselves as "concerned" in Paris.

How about stopping with the bi-partisan BS? If you want people to work with you, learn to be nice in talking to them; or didn't your mother teach you that you get farther with sugar than spice? BOTH Right and Left have their issues. Both sides have some 'extreme' views. Both sides need to start working together for once in this DAMN time in our history in the last 30 years!!! Last I checked 'conservatives' give to Catholic Charities, the LARGEST non profit in the world. This isn't a Republican or Democrat issue. It's a people issue. I don't mind people coming to the US to work. I DO MIND people not doing things by the rules. I do mind large corporations not being held accountable to their actions. I know PLENTY of college kids who would work for the resorts AND DO work for the resorts, but they pay CRAP for wages. It is ILLEGAL to have more than 2 adults to a room. OSHA LAWS. Maybe a baby but only 2 adults. It is illegal to have 5-6 to a room, but I have seen it first hand.

How about all those people with criminal records whose applications are rejected by employers? Republicans love erecting artificial barriers to employment. Then they complain about increasing welfare costs and homeless people. Not smart, Republicans.

Actually, his being a Hero would mean that he HAS gone to prison and HAS knocked up 10 different women. Super Hero if they were white.

Maybe he is a hero in the black community because he has not gone to prison (yet)... maybe because he has not knocked up ten different women (yet)... and the list goes on. Giving him "hero" status sets the bar way lower than it should ever be. We used to have standards but this is further proof of how much those standards have been purposely eroded to include people the naacp supports.

In other words, this is a petty, vicious attack on the less fortunate.

This is not about providing better or cheaper health care for Americans. It won't come close to doing that. Its about giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy donors who have bought the Republicans, and are pushing them for their payback. That's why they are so obsessed with it.

At this point it seems that the only people who don't support President Trump's statement are clueless leftists who still can't believe that America rejected their traitorous, flawed candidate in November. You liberals just can't stand that Trump has the minerals to speak his mind and could care less if it invades your "safe space". Now go back to hating your country and hope for better results in 2020.

At this point, it seems the only people who support the statements of Donald Trump are white nationalists and the uneducated voters of our country who elected a classless fool to be in charge. Sad. Trump can't be evicted from the White House soon enough!

Trump is a racist, plain and simple, as he's demonstrated repeatedly. It's not disrespecting the flag or the country or anything else to take a knee in protest over police killings that go unpunished, which started the protest movement in the NFL and which continues to be a stain on our nation today. Black Lives Matter is about cops killing unarmed African-Americans for no justified reason, not the other way around. Anyone casual reader of the news can see that. Only those who tolerate unequal treatment and taking away civil liberties support Trump. We didn't fight wars so people could stand for the national anthem. They were fought to preserve democracy and the constitutional right to protest against government policy. The NFL players who are exercising that right are more doing their patriotic duty to ensure there really is "justice for all."

It looks like the NAACP wants to boycott the NFL. If the fans get organized, they, 70% plus or minus will boycott the games. Gotta go with trump. Black Lives Matter is all about murdering cops, I can't support that or disrespecting the flag.

You have a right to chant whatever you want. As long as it doesn't crossover into violence against anyone. That's the point, isn't it. Some protestors say things that we may not like. On the other hand, the police are killing unarmed civilians and you're ok with that.

You seem to think the protest is about a President. You might want to try to be better informed than that.

What in the world do these players believe will happen the next time a Democrat is elected president. After the divisive, polarizing act of kneeling, are they thinking all those President Trump supporters will then stand in a circle, singing 'Kum Ba Yah,' and supporting a president that they didn't vote for? If we don't realize and act as if we are one country, regardless of who is elected, then we will not be a United States of America, and instead it's game over for our country.

Obama isn't a racist and a bigot. Trump is. Trump and his father were caught by the State of New York for not allowing black people to rent any of their properties. That's why. Clear enough for you or would you like me to elaborate?

well Chris why didn't they do this when Obama was president. Black problems didn't just start when Trump became president.

Wishing to be fair, I went over Father Martin's YouTube talk and realize that, although Father Martin did talk about the doctrine that gay persons must remain celibate, not being "received" by the gay community. He never said that this then "disqualifies" it as doctrine; Father Martin is too smart for such a statement (I think). He did however, amid much circumlocution, suggest that this situation was analogous to the church's Humanae Vitae encyclical which has been largely been ignored by much of the faithful (not all). He then says that the gay community should perhaps speak with their bishop. I get the impression that he might be suggesting that the gay community may similarly ignore this teaching as many have rejected Humanae Vitae and the teaching of no sex outside of marriage. My comment: although these teachings are ignored, they are still "on the books." I make this new comment because I want to be fair to Fr. Martin - bearing false witness is a serious offence.

What is worse than active homosexuality is the claim that God purposely created homosexuals and approves such behaviour. You credit Fr Martin with saying that in time the Church will have to acknowledge that homosexuality and gender fluency, whatever that might be, are a given. If he did then his critics are right about him. He is advocating what the Church regards as a serious sin. Fr Martin claims that he has written or said nothing against the Church's teaching. Who is correct, you or he? The Church cannot loose on earth what is bound in heaven so there is not the remotest possibility that at any time in the future this teaching will change. Even if it were to reverse its teaching then it would simply cease to be Christ's Church.

About a half block away from where I was, an unintelligible word then "n----r" was screamed from a car as it traveled on Crescent Ave. It was quite a mean sounding yell and not from haha dumb teens...not that it makes a difference to me.

"The biblical word Shoah (שואה), also spelled Shoa and Sho'ah, meaning "calamity" in Hebrew (and also used to refer to "destruction" since the Middle Ages), became the standard Hebrew term for the 20th century Holocaust as early as the early 1940s."

Dude, you're making ethnic jokes about the Holocaust. Cut it out. In case anyone doesn't know it, "Shoah" is a modern Hebrew word often used to refer to the Holocaust. It means, "catastrophe" I think.

The global elites wanted it to happen. Now if the country that consistently leads the world in balance of trade decided to elect a government that was: a) able to end the 70 year US military occupation b) demanded a voice in international politics equal to its economic clout c) open to mutually supportive trade with Russia then they can always incite internal racial conflict to weaken the country. A new version of operation Gladio.

If I was a German, looking at the immense and permanent damage Merkel's unjustified and illegal actions had done to Germany and Europe, I would vote for the AfD too; out of rage for what Merkel had done, and out of lack of confidence that any of the other parties will even admit that taking in a million migrants from Africa and the Middle East was anything other than a historic mistake and try to do something to correct it.

You do know that the DOJ investigation, while clearing the officer, revealed some pretty stinky things being done by the city...specifically the Ferguson PD, right? If you're going to drag Ferguson into it, then tell the whole story.

Wrong again. Kaepernick is quoted as stating his reasons for initially kneeling during the anthem was due to Sylville Smith's death by a cop in Milwaukee. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/sports/football/colin-kaepernick-national-anthem-49ers-stand.html?mcubz=0 The only problem was the cop who shot him was also black, and he was also found innocent of any wrongdoing in the shooting. So much for your "racist white cops killing innocent black citizens" meme for motivating Kaepernick to kneel. I bet you believed the bogus "hands up dont shoot" Ferguson meme too.

WTF are you smoking? She got 10 million illegals vote sin California Trump was vote din by the normal people not the deplorable or the rich.. FACT!!!!!

Electing Trump is not a solution to anything unless you are very rich. Besides, Americans elected Hillary Clinton by giving her three million more votes than Trump. The Electoral College system is what put Trump in power.

Totally agree, the flags represent the incredible sacrifice laid down to make us a free nation period. Stand up or leave. Finally a President who stands for all that is good, Justin should take NOTE !!!!!

Trump is right. Kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful to the nation and will be brought to a quick end by the fans and advertisers who ultimately control the finances of a team. Fans are not amused by these antics, they are incensed by them. Good for the President to have the courage to speak out on this matter.

The flag the ref threw on Miller probably had stars and bars on it.

in all my years of watching football I don't remember a worse play call than the fake punt. Game was lost at that moment. Also, I guess I don't understand the call on Miller by the ref. That ref should lose his job for that incompetence.

Idiot isn't a hate word. And you're an idiot. Flag away coward.

The n-word is legal too, but no one is going to use it on here because he/she'd be banned, probably, for lack of "civility." I don't see Anti-semitic speech as any more "civil" than the n-word. I would think that slurs against Jews would be removed just as readily. For the RG to allow such language to remain taints the newspaper by association, which is really not useful now that the "President" has reopened the Pandora's Box of white supremacism. The same is true of homophobic slurs, and slurs against other minority identities. These are not civil speech.

Tomlin (the upper level manager for the Steelers) had control over the situation and ordered them, (as a team no to be divided) to remain in the locker room during the anthem in order to prevent the Trump incited focus on the anthem to become either a divisive force, or presumably a distraction. Villanueva's presence on the field, therefore, was interesting. One of the pretenses for Trump's racist play, embraced by many here, is that non-compliance with superiors' orders should lead to firing. Well, in Villanueva's case, what if he was disobeying Tomlin's orders for the TEAM to remain together in the locker room? "There should be no politics in sports, after all." Or, what if Villanueve just felt really strongly about it, and Tomlin disagreed, but respected his desire to "express" himself? Without LOUD, disagreement from the "employment order", or, "politics has no place in sports crowd", the treatment of Villanueva, for instance above by Andrew1, is hypcritical a best. . .

Critical Reader and intelligence don't seem to mix either. Just more libtard rants. Hats off to that Pittsburgh steeler who came out with his hand of his heart during the national anthem despite the rest of the team showing their unpatriotic side.

That 3 second decision has the potential to be more serious and life altering than a 2 minute protest during the Anthem. No one's life is ended, ruined, or altered by a football player not standing for the Anthem.

It takes a 3 second decision to be deemed a bad cop. The best cop today could make a decision you judge as the "bad" cop tomorrow. How about an even playing field?

No- the person who did immense - but luckily not too permanent damage to Germany and Europe - was a right wing fellow by name of Adolph. It seems that memories of those times are fading and that a very ugly spectre claiming past glory is again raising its head in multiple centers around the world. Some may think it wonderful and possibly just what we need to realize our final destiny. Perhaps, however such distractions from reality at this point might prove fatal. Given the very real threats we face, and the news on global climate change is looking particularly threatening on an existential scale over the next 50 to 80 or so years - especially in light of the weapons we possess, nationalistic passion(s) are more than a bit dangerous. For some the appearance of civility is a very thin veneer but the next fallback of civilization, whether that is tomorrow or in a hundred years, may in fact turn out to be the last, the very last, in a long string of such collapses.

If I was a German, looking at the immense and permanent damage Merkel's unjustified and illegal actions had done to Germany and Europe, I would vote for the AfD too; out of rage for what Merkel had done, and out of lack of confidence that any of the other parties will even admit that taking in a million migrants from Africa and the Middle East was anything other than a historic mistake and try to do something to correct it.

Totally agree. He just threw gasoline on a dying fire.

The protests were fading away and Trump injected new life into them. I don't like the protests, I think it is counterproductive. The original civil rights marchers marched with our flag proudly. (Google civil rights march images.) I will also defend someones right to free speech (unlike liberals who think the only free speech should be liberal speech). Trump does not have to comment on everything. I wish we had a better choice last election. Why can't a country as great as ours provide a better choice than Hillary or Trump? I had to hold my nose to vote. I would just like to watch a ball game, free from politics. Trump - shut up. You may be appealing to a part of your base but many of us cringe. Players - I think you should stand for the anthem and flag of this great nation which allows you to become rich playing a game. You have your rights but it is alienating the people you say you are trying to influence. Both are devisive and ill-advised.

On the contrary..I've tried repeatedly to raise the level of understanding of the word love used so badly and cheaply at NCR. Eros needs to be perfected or elevated to Agape. They are not incompatible....but Agape is a higher form of love. That's not theory...and the reason I know this is because of the Crucifixiion.

Sort of the same way people empty the value of the word "love" by treating it as a theoretical, philosophical idea, then going on at length as though the theoretical idea exists in a vacuum?

I don't fully understand what you mean by "a sacramental theology" and I am not a theologian. Nevertheless, the matter seems to me quite simple: There is a difference between an (unchanging) doctrine and a Church practices/laws/rulings. AL affirms all traditional doctrines in regard to the Eucharist, including the real presence and the consequent obligation to approach the sacrament with respect. However, that remarried divorcees should not receive communion is a ruling/practice, not a doctrine. The ruling was originally intended to discourage divorcees remarrying. There is nothing preventing changes to that practice, just as there is nothing preventing changes to the practice of fasting before communion, requirements that a bishop (not priest) has to lift excommunication resulting from an abortion, etc. Objectors to AL seem to me to be conflating practice and doctrine,.

I don't agree with this alleged "correction," but I would say that Pope Francis needs to articulate a sacramental theology that embraces all people of good faith, instead of just hinting that exceptions can be made on an ad hoc basis. Interestingly, such an expansive sacramental theology is rather easily constructed along the lines of biblical and historical theology. I think he thought the Synod of Bishops was going to accomplish that, and, when it didn't, he didn't know what to do. On a practical level, I don't think he can just let these so-called corrections build up without giving people the impression he has no response.

I think most priests know more about marriage than most people. Here out my reasoning, please. Think about it. Assuming for that most people marry just once (how much do they REALLY know about marriage, they know about exactly 1/2 of 1 marriage! Does that really help them understand other marriages? I'm constantly surprised to hear other the views of other men....if your point were true then I wouldn't be surprised at all...my knowledge of my marriage (which again is only one-half of one marriage) doesn't seem to aid me that much in understanding other marriages. Yet a priest under the seal of Confession can come to know an ENORMOUS amount about marriages...they hear all the defects...they hear the resistance to change, the self-deceptions, the excuses for not loving more, the veiled selfishness. etc. True it's a bit different, but in a way it's much more than most men. And they hear it from women too, unlike any man not in the behavioral health/counseling business.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!! You say: "Good priests can love in ways we can't understand." The it also MUST BE true: "Good laity can love in ways priests can't understand." I think we've reached agreement: Let those who understand what others can't go with what they know.

You seem to answer your own questions. What does their protest during the national anthem have to do with police brutality? Well, they told you that was the motivation behind their actions. And you obviously understood their intent--you wrote that you disagreed (calling it spurious). Whether you personally want to take it as an affront to the military is your choice. Just as taking a stand against racism is their choice.

Still, no one can tell me how protesting the national anthem has anything to do with police picking on black people...which in and of itself is a spurious claim at best. Are there individual racist cops that have done inappropriate things? Of course. And when/if they do act in a racist manner, they should be (and are) punished appropriately. Is there a systemic based racism in all cops. Nope. But again I'll ask, can anyone explain to me how kneeling for our national anthem is somehow related to cops? And is it really a wise way to protest cops when the correlation between cops and our national flag is extremely weak and most people know it will be taken as an affront to the military?

Trump and the GOP are rapidly abandoning tax "reform" and moving into a straight tax cut that will benefit the very wealthy. The deficit and debt will mushroom, as the fairy tale growth estimates will collapse.

Now that he has been so successful in his "Repeal and replace" effort, he will turn to tax reform. This should be entertaining.

Yes, to seek the greatest good means to seek what God wills for them, total unity with Him now and in the hereafter. For Catholics, that means they must use what God gave them, and that means their fecundity. God reveals His will for us in a number of ways....he imprinted "made for unity" on our body.

Good idea too have begun your comment with a conditional clause, because that is precisely what a number of readers of your comment are asking: namely, is your motivation really seeking the greatest good for a certain group of people ... ? Of course, you will say "Yes I am". Trouble is, there is room to wonder whether that is borne out by the content of your comments.

Agreed. However, let us not forget who graffiti over supposed works of art (I've seen them on some murals) and consider their acts of property damage as art to supersede real art. Since HPD does not seem to be addressing this issue is there someone doing something about graffiti "artist? Seem to have heard some rumblings.

"the more art on the walls, the more art in the world, the better." Says who? There is such a thing as a time and a place.

How is taking a knee disrespecting the flag? They're not stomping or pissing on it. And it's not like they're taking up playing time to do this. The amount of time it takes to play the anthem doesn't change.

I don't watch football to see more political drama. We already have enough in the news and on late night tv. I don't give a damn what a football players political views are. That is notwhat I pay for and its not why I watch sports. I am sick of the self indulgent Hate America crowd. Players have the right to curtsy to express themselves, and to peaceful political free speech like the rest of us. But not while you are working/performing. Do it on you own time!! I am sick and tired of political activism infiltrating every corner of American life. NFL football players are extremely well paid employees with limited rights. Unfortunately they seem to be running the show. The NFL has become a JOKE run by a spineless owners and a 40 Million dollar a year jerk (commissioner). I don't give a damn what players do in their free time. I do care if they distrspect the American flag. I don't care what the reason is. I have one thing to say to the NFL, your players, and your sponsors, SEE YA!!$$

Nice try but it's not true. Every major city has the Dr you need.

I have to live here due to a serious illness that requires me to be close to several medical specialists. Also, due to this illness I can no longer drive. There are a lot of older and disabled people who need to be close to services that are only available in large cities.

Boots can't handle the truth. He starts getting all wound up and deflects and brings up anything that pops into his mind just to defend the Dems even when he knows he's dead wrong. LOL Just keep throwing logic at him, he's already crumbling. Hey Peter, aka boots, you want for me to print you a life size poster of the Donald so you can hang it on the wall in your basement next to Nixon, Reagan and W? LOL

Boots, we're not talking about W... You brought up Hillary.... Let's talk Hillary, okay...? Stop deflecting every time you run out of things to back your point... If you can't back it up, just don't say anything.... Otherwise, it doesn't make you look good... And that's my tip of the week for you...

No, it just means you can't cherry pick verses to support arguments, and to understand Scripture you need to know more than how to read. At the very least, you need to understand the culture in which the documents were written, and not assume things like "divorce" or "marriage" meant the same in the Palestine of 2000 years ago that they do in the countries where most of us live today. Just as knowing that people in those times used hyperbole for effect keeps you from cutting off your hand when you snitch an extra cookie.

So every Scripture is up for grabs because of a couple of instances that are clearly hyperbole (gouging out eyes and cutting off hands)...so we can set aside every inconvenient verse of Scripture as hyperbole?

John McCain, on his worst days, is far more present and engaged than Donald Trump.

John McCain has had a great political career, but is time to retire. He's not going through a knee or hip replacement, it's brain cancer. His job is far too important for him to not be fully present and engaged. He should step down immediately.

I've watched every Bronco game since 1972 and will proudly continue to do so. I'm glad to know you and I do not share the same interests.

Don't worry, Supernova has never watched a FB game in his/her life. Here is the funny thing, leftists and Millennials don't watch the NFL. Blue collar, veterans and the middle class are the bread and butter of the NFL. Let the idiots who make millions playing a game for a living pretend they have a clue. They are simply eliminating their fan base. Watch college FB, I stopped watching that mess which is the NFL a long long time ago.

spare me your deluded history revision.

Balderdash indeed. Timber has always been boom and bust, a highly cyclical industry in which the common workers took the hits. Bidding for timber lots was never completely an open market, and most sales went below cost. In the Reagan land plunder, old forests were nearly liquidated, in most cases, never to return. Along with those forests went clean streams with healthy biota and lots of fish. Now one man (or woman) with a feller-buncher can clearcut a forest that formerly took a dozen sawyers and laborers. Limbing and trimming are automated as is yarding and loading the logs. The mills are highly computerized, using far few workers. That's why logging and milling are now a small sector of Oregon's economy. As the author implies, though many former loggers blame the spotted owl and environmentalists, who should be call conservatives because they work for conservation, productivity gains from computers and mechanization have made the jobs disappear, never to return.

What is the source of your numbers and why are you only posting the numbers for blacks...kinda fishy...

I agree that the players have a right to protest. But last year, out of a black population of 20 million, 16 unarmed black men were killed by cops, 250 including those who were armed. And that's 2.5 times the rate of white people killed by cops relative to population. That's bothersome. Each year, about 2400 blacks are victims of homicide committed by other blacks about 90% of the time. That's more bothersome. That's what I'd be protesting if I were black. Address that, and maybe white people would take your Black Lives Matter movement more seriously. When blacks kill other blacks about ten times more often that cops do, apparently black lives only matter when you want to divide the country over race.

Far funnier? Have you *seen* the Mercer Report?

I'm sorry John but having spent the Clinton years and the Bush campaign living in the US I will take Canada's kinder and gentler and FAR FUNNIER comedy, targetting real foibles and follies, than the vicious personal vilification and frequently partisan sniping that passes for humour in the US. That is not to say that US humour is without humour; it is to say that the point of humour is to expose the Emperor's lack of new clothes, not to adduce his intelligence from the ostensible size of his digits. And not to leave 85% of topical humour dependent on the degree of resemblance between the President and a certain long-haired primate species. The American breed you seem to favour John is, at the end of the day, corrosive and destructive, not instructive and I for one see no need to go there. Or to attempt a pale imitation of American savagery in a country thankfully largely free of the savages theirs mocks.

"many things worse than incivility"? Really? Such as? No sense of humour perhaps? Or Inceste? Outceste? Allcestes? Ces't what? Nonsense. Censors! - Take this comment away. Hah, ha, fa**in' hahhhh.

Jimbo, I rarely censor any comment. Only the very rare, very odd comment that's hate speech. Commenting here for almost 12 years, that's the way I've always been. I've known intuitively that once people start deleting comments for this reason and that reason, soon they would be deleting comments that simply make a strong case against their opinion. And that's precisely what's happened. the fun and the humour have been sucked out of this website. There are many things in the comments worse than incivility.

I'm equally amused at the way those that support "free speech" for tiki torch bearing Nazis, but get butthurt if some football players with too much melanin peacefully protest. They are not the least bit principled. It's about bigotry, plain and simple.

The same people trying to claim it's about creative freedom would be having a meltdown if a Mapplethorpe exhibit came into town.
