It makes a difference because it's the institutions of liberal democracy, or just liberalism, that define the liberal regime, of which most of the world's developed nations are right now, I'm not sure that there's any real exception. The liberal institutions are guarded jealously in...

Did you see the pope come out in favor of Church marriage recently? He was unambiguous about it. It was so clearly spoken that many supporters of this pope were saddened because they had thought that he and the magisterium were working to change Catholic teachings on marriage (found in the...

Something's coming. I don't know what or when but the Supreme Court looks like they're fixing to weigh in on the Second Amendment again, it would be the first time since 2010 really, since the 2014 ruling was just a clinic on how to interpret their 2008 ruling. Justices like Thomas are...

His closing comment was something like Let's not target the Constitutional rights of innocent people. You'd think there'd be a lot of bipartisan support for something like that. But nope.

Disagree with the "unhinged mind" and "insane" talk---these mass murderers are not injured in the brain, they are mass murderers. To think of them as some sort of victim is sick. They can choose to not mass murder, they just don't.

That one's fine.

The bishops teach this without end, in our Catechism. Whatever you want to know that the bishops all teach uniformly, is in the Catechism.

Re: Boulder. If I were in that store, and that store were around here, I would have only had a handgun to defend myself and others. It was good that it was just one guy /murderer, that would have given me a chance, but if I had a rifle only out in my car, then it would have done me no good...

l o l. It like, disemboweled the thing.

Wow. If that was just hardball then I wonder what a .45 ACP would do. The 9 mm is higher velocity, but the .45 is literally twice as much lead (mostly lead).

Sure. Completely reasonable. Also just being unarmed in American can't be shown to be unreasonable. I just think we have a right, and it's also wise to consider it a responsibility, to be prepared to defend our lives and limbs, and those of our families, and while we're at it those of other...

If you're going to be standing your ground, then having a bigger round like a 9 mm or a .380 ACP is probably your best bet, but if you can run for your rifle, which is really what the pistols and handguns are for, then a .22 LR is OK too. In the latter case, it has more to do with your rifle...

Clete's trying to explain the distinction between scientists as a group, and what he calls "real science", which is the unbiased and honest search for the truth, wherever it may lie. He accuses the scientists of being corrupt on the latter mark, that they are blind to the truth and promulgate...

Basically, fixed it for you. Last I heard the only sports record held by a woman is long distance swimming. Worth noting that there isn't any institutional policy keeping women from competing in all the professional sports, it's just the ladies leagues with institutional discrimination---men...

Greatest television and movie franchise in modern times right there. TPB FTW. ("for the win"---not implied vulgarity)

Definitely part of the E in EBR (evil black rifle).

Don't forget "the shoulder thing that goes up".

Truly. The unlikelihood that their fairy tale is true, makes actual fairy tales seem downright realistic.

Does anyone know if the idea of a "superbug" is possible in viruses, or is it just bacteria? It sounds more like the facility, building, would be the problem, at least to me. Something got out. That means "biosafety level 4" really means "not safe at all", since it let out the covid.

Illiberal democracy is just as evil as absolute monarchism. Neither protects rights. But liberal democracy is not evil. Neither would be liberal or constitutional monarchism.
