Controversial opinions

Desalination plants and big pumping pipes to areas drying up should be installed along the entire coast line of the US regardless of cost. You can't put a price tag on eating and living.

I put this as a controversial opinion because I can't possibly believe this isn't already happening (except for the occasional plant) and there seems to be opposition to this.
 
So, what if we tell Russia, we will let you have (back ) Ukraine but you give us Cuba. Then tell China, you can pick either Taiwan or N Korea and keep it, but we get the other and that makes us all square for all time. Oh, just going back to my "Risk" game days.

China already has NK. It should be HK or Taiwan.

Well, of course this is all non-serious, but I’m saying that if they choose Taiwan, we get NK, ( well, put into S. Korea) and we call it quits on both disputes for good. And, the Russia agreement leaves us with some new Caribbean real estate the size of Florida, which would be American territory and become the resort destination of the world.
Kind of the Monroe Doctrine. All just kidding, which I thought this thread was.

Liberals openly hate white Christians while pretending to love Catholic illegal aliens and Islamic fundamentalists who emigrate to America.

Okay, I am resurrecting an old post, and sorry, it's not as light-hearted....
What is interesting about this is that Liberals, when they want to say why they hate contemporary American Christians--and it is the Protestants they hate--will always cite the crusades and the Inquisition and such, which were Catholic.

American evangelical churches are almost all single churches or else a few together in one city. No American Protestant church has any actual power to do anything. Except that its members vote along the lines of their beliefs, which is not liberal. But the fear story is that evangelicals, if allowed, would take over the world and impose their (unpleasant) lifestyles on everyone. Yet it is the Catholic and Muslim organizations that are enormous and have the potential to actually exert political power or even force in the world. But that doesn't threaten liberals, because that's not a voting situation.

Okay, back to the entertaining things....

This should probably be in the West Mall, but as I've posted before, you look up hypocrisy in the dictionary are there's a picture of a liberal.

Interestingly, long ago, JFK gave a speech to Protestant priests in Houston, assuring them he did not hold the Pope higher than the Constitution. The Protestants were in favor of the 1st Amendment (separation of church and state). My how things have changed.
 
By,

My Aggie/Baptist preacher likes to say. “The church has not gotten political, the government has gotten Theological”
 
Didn't read the article but JFK's "religion" was no ***** is so good that it can't be sacrificed for my pleasure - see also Marilyn Monroe.
 
Chop,

The first time I heard the term "visual pollution" was listening to a story about the great attorney Robert L Burns (graduate of UT & UT Law School) when he was addressing the Houston City Council about billboards. When someone used that expression, his response was, "I am not familiar with that term but if it's a dressed up meaning of 'eye sore', you don't have to look at billboards, you can walk out the front door of this building and look north (at the Federal Building in Houston). The last time I saw something that ugly, there was a German with a machine gun in it shooting at me."
 
They misplaced 3 boxes of mail we sent with checks for property taxes to several cities in Texas. They “popped up” and got mailed eventually but several cities are hitting us with massive late fees. US Post Office has souvenir immunity :smile1: , so we’re left having to take legal action against cities.
 
LC not close in magnitude of your issue but my wife despises the USPS because they have ‘lost’ birthday cards with gift cards and checks often enough she refuses to use them anymore.
 
This isn't really an opinion, but rather an anthropologic fact, but I'll post it anyway:


North America has no indigenous people.
 
Chop,

A decade ago, I was invited to speak to the Tribal Council of the Northwestern US on a possible investment they were looking at. I arrived dressed in Wranglers, starched oxford buttondown, boots (ML Leddy anteater) & hat. When introduced, I started by saying, "My family is Cherokee & Choctaw; WE ARE INDIANS! No one in my family ever has been and never will be hyphenated. If that offends anyone, you can send me back to the airport now". I got a round of applause and appreciation as they said "not being one of those phony, publicity seeking morons"
