Displaying 91 To 120 Of 271 Comments Ferguson: Why Does a Mostly Black City Have Mostly White Government & Police? It’s far simpler than that gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. Poor minorities anywhere in America are almost guaranteed to never succeed. Because we don’t have equal education. Schools are funded by local taxes, mostly property taxes, so that poor people have to overcome extraordinary obstacles, like getting books and pencils. While the rich luxuriate in giant stadiums, and swimming pools. If you’re rich, you get the rich mans education. If you’re poor you get to suffer and die. Before you even have a chance at a partial education. That is the truth of the America we have become. Thanks to the elitist and racist Republican Party. And amazingly, the Libertarians would even be worse. “Desperation. And desperate crimes. Always together.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 21, 2014 @ 9:27 pm Why Preventing Genocide Isn’t the Same as Re-Invading Iraq “Most often we cannot tell them they are wrong. They must discover it.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 11, 2014 @ 5:47 pm “Compassion is humanities most common request.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 11, 2014 @ 5:21 pm Gentle friend KillgoreTrout, I’m suggesting that we destroy ISIS before it can commit anymore crimes against humanity. And that we should provide their victims any weapons and defense necessary. Except for one. They must provide the “boots on the ground.” Sadly, it is their children who must fight and die for their freedom. We have already surrendered far too many of ours. “You do not fight evil when it is convenient, in fashion, or assured victory. You fight it when it appears.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 11, 2014 @ 4:39 pm Gentle friend AdLib, I agree. Our nation has spent so long screaming “wolf”, that, as in the fairy tale, many do not believe us. But to my friends among them, especially my liberal ones, I ask that you reconsider. The Iraq war was started with such atrocious breaches of truth that it took months to semi-justify. Indeed, Saddam was a bad guy, but not a threat to the world. ISIS, on the other hand, posts evidence of their mass atrocities on the Internet, posts their intent to dominate the world with a ruthless ideology, and has been amazingly successful militarily so far. There is no need for long review. ISIS is evil. And they like it. And if we are human and humane, we must protect the innocent they pursue, and bring ISIS to justice. “The thirst of evil can never be quenched.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 11, 2014 @ 3:10 pm Satan Announces First Ever Summer Vacation Plans “If it’s Gods will, why is your finger on the trigger?” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 15, 2014 @ 6:44 pm Robin Williams would be proud gentle friend AdLib. Horrific truths juxtaposed by complacent compassion. All the time laughing. I wish there were a game called “How many people can you help before you die”. And the winners would be everyone you saved. A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 15, 2014 @ 6:33 pm Brilliantly introspective, and tragic, gentle friend AdLib. You are a treasure of humanity. “They never gave me a plan. Just a purpose.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 15, 2014 @ 4:55 pm F’d Up: Even so…Why Western Europe Hesitates in its Sanctioning of Russia Thank you gentle friend EXFANOFARIANA, though it was sadly spoken. I desperately wish it were not so. “There is great danger in calling a thing evil, equaled only by the ignorance of it. Therefore let our judgments withstand the passions of our time, and endear the admiration of our future.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 3, 2014 @ 3:40 pm I’ve been ill gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. You deserve far more than a pat on the back, I’m sorry. “Our greatest weakness is that we can’t see each other for who we really are.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 2, 2014 @ 7:53 pm I agree with you gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. Putin, at least, would like to be another Hitler (minus the losing and suicide part). The free world made a great mistake when it did not come to Georgia’s defense. And an even greater one when they ignored the Crimea’s annexation. It is another grand appeasement. You know that I believe in peace, and understanding, and political solutions to humankind’s dilemmas. But I also know that there will always be an evil that cannot be reasoned or negotiated with. Our problem now is that the Republican Party, and many in the Democratic Party, have spent over a decade screaming wolf. And as the classic tale foretells, now few believe any of them. The perfect time for tyrants to sneak in … What would I do? I would continue the sanctions, tell Putin that Ukraine was under our protection, and send two aircraft carrier groups to the Black Sea. And watch him, like any bully, suddenly decide he didn’t want to fight after all. “Once again, war is upon us. When peace had a greater hand.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 2, 2014 @ 7:40 pm Well spoken gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. “History should be taught twice, so it will be more difficult to forget.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 1, 2014 @ 4:07 pm Why Democrats Lag Behind Despite Growing Population Advantages You are a treasure of humanity confuseddemocrat. Thank you. “A pillow of dirt. They said we must lay our heads down upon it.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 7, 2014 @ 5:46 pm The Irresponsible Electorate and the 4th of July Gentle friend MurphTheSurf3, I agree about Obama continuing the Bush Administrations policies. I was stunned. I thought he would arrest Bush, Cheney, and all their henchmen. But instead he joined them in their treason. And I can imagine a reality where we will never know why. “It is an old tale. Catastrophe assaults the senses of a free nation. Fear, a tyrant’s only ally, is seized. Democracy, a despot’s greatest foe, is assaulted. The people, liberties only defense, are subdued. All in accomplice of those sworn, upon death, to protect them.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 7, 2014 @ 6:21 pm Indeed gentle friend SallyT. “One of the greatest tragedies of our existence is that we are a people united by so many common goals, but divided by so many uncommon beliefs. I believe that our goals are more important. We all want to be free. We all want our children to be healthy and happy. Most all of us want peace so long as our own rights are protected. These are the ideals that we can all strive for together. These are the threads of humanity that cannot be torn apart.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 4, 2014 @ 6:00 pm Religion & The U.S. Constitution: The Official Record Thank you gentle friend Zeke. “History is an unfortunate record of the present.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 2, 2014 @ 6:43 pm Is The United States Of America A Christian Nation? “Do not carelessly take the hope of others my friends. We all derive that most precious gift from so many different sources. From deep within ourselves, from belief in good and benevolent supernatural forces, from belief in ordered and ultimately just natural forces, and from a plethora of other deeply held and personal beliefs uncounted. Our fight is not with hope fellow citizens, it is with intolerance, despair, suffering, and death. In fact, we need not fear the beliefs of others, only their imposition upon us.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 3, 2014 @ 7:39 pm I am in tears gentle friend monicaangela. A treasure of truth from so long ago. Thank you. “I would welcome any God that was kind, compassionate, merciful, and good. And allowed me to live in disbelief.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 2, 2014 @ 6:26 pm Wow gentle friend KillgoreTrout. That was amazing. Thank you. “My beliefs are better than yours.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 2, 2014 @ 6:09 pm What Can Be Done to Stop Children From Crossing Our Borders? “My baby died for good cause. Small government.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 1, 2014 @ 7:49 pm Gentle friend Beatlex you are here. That gives me hope. For all of us. “Until the last voice of freedom was silenced. That’s how long they had to wait.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 1, 2014 @ 7:30 pm Indeed gentle friend Beatlex. That’s why I wrote A Future of the Brave. “Critical Focus Fortunately, there is a curious and wonderful fact about humanity. Whenever we come together to focus on and solve some seemingly insurmountable problem, we are successful. From initially learning to navigate vast oceans, to understanding and curing disease, to placing humans on the moon and exploring the solar system beyond, our species record of technical achievement is truly stunning. In fact, history clearly records that our progress as a species is not impeded by our inability to solve critical problems; it is instead impeded by our inability to recognize and focus on them. We have survived thus far not by elegant planning, but simply because of our once isolated population groups, the relatively low level of past technologies, and sheer dumb luck. However, time has turned, and we cannot go back. Populations have become almost completely integrated, our technology has progressed to fantastic and globally lethal levels, and sooner or later our sheer dumb luck will run out. Without direction, without a plan, without common goals and purpose, our species, and our world, will fail. All our history, all our dreams, all our knowledge, our anguish, our joy, our victories, our defeats, all of our passion, everything that was human, gone forever. As if it had never existed in time at all. Could anyone, no matter their nationality or beliefs, want their children or grandchildren to live their last anguished moments of life in this failed world? I think not.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 1, 2014 @ 7:21 pm “If we were to need money for war it would be given.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 1, 2014 @ 7:01 pm Well spoken gentle friend sillylittleme. Fear is the root. “Do not let fear and terror sway you. That’s all any enemy of humanity needs.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 1, 2014 @ 6:42 pm Gentle friend Nirek, my answer is to save the children. At all cost. They are priceless. “The death of a billion worlds is reflected in the eyes of one suffering child.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 1, 2014 @ 6:31 pm The Court Ruling that Could Kill ACA “The Libertarian Party believes that the rules of government should be the brutal and dispassionate laws of nature.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 9, 2014 @ 7:51 pm “Withholding health care from an ill person is the most basic terror.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 9, 2014 @ 7:41 pm Thank you for not accepting the freedom of the cage gentle friend KillgoreTrout. And for always standing for humanity. “I too relish small government. Just large enough to cherish and protect the innocent, the poor, and the suffering.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 9, 2014 @ 7:19 pm “The libertarian philosophy, while advancing many aspects of freedom, fails to advance a human beings one most unique and defining quality. Compassion.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 9, 2014 @ 6:46 pm “Sometimes ‘opportunity’ means the right to die in the streets if not needed.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On July 7, 2014 @ 7:45 pmComments Posted By SearingTruth
