Right Wing Actors Who Run for Public Office. WTF?
[Read the article: Major troop reductions imminent -- again]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All these reasonable actors on the left and it seems the only ones that ever run are the few from the right. Why is this?

Someday this museum will be an "astounding" fossil find.
[Read the article: Inside the Creation Museum]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I do not believe "science" is under attack in the U.S., and even if it were history both recent and otherwise shows that science can take care of itself--and that ultimately it always wins.
There has ALWAYS been a large swath of American culture that is inherently anti-science, and if anything that group of people is much smaller today than it was at the Scopes "
monkey trial."
Another thing that hits me is that even though many posters have said that some posters are attacking Christianity it has nothing to do with Christianity. To call someone stupid because they reject modern science is in no way an attack on their religion. And if a Mulsim, or Hindu, or other fundamentalist believers had such a museum I would also laugh at them, not their religion.

Thanks, I didn't know JetBlue showed Fox--I will be sure and never fly with them.

Why not just deal with the inevitable result of infinity?
[Read the article: We are meant to be here]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Infinite number of universes (or in this case the multiplex) doesn't make it "probable" that we will come into being, it makes it absolutely unavoidable.
An infinite number of possibilities ultimately means an infinite number of results, some of which must be us.

You're kidding right?
[Read the article: "Look! A shiny object!"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can come up with better ones in ten minutes on the top of my head.

Or as I've heard said: give me the days when stocks went up and Monica went down.
[Read the article: This Modern World]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You know?

The beauty is that Romney was bit in the ass by the same bigotry that gets gays.
[Read the article: Requiem for a right-wing dream]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That's the funny part. I heard more right-wingers say they couldn't vote for Romney because of his membership in the Mormon "cult" than any other reason.
Mormans, like gays who are republicans, insist on being members in a club that doesn't really want them.

Remember give me liberty or give me death?
[Read the article: Newt Gingrich, supreme fear-monger]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Right wingers assume this means we will give up our liberties to keep from dying at the hands of an enemy but won't give up our liberties to keep from dying at the hands of our own government.
I don't care who kills me, my government, or that of another, my refrain is still "Give me liberty or give me death."
If the sacrifice of a city is what it truly takes to keep us free, then that is the high price of liberty and we must do our best, within the framework of our guaranteed freedoms, to stay as safe as possible. To paraphrase a well worn conservative saying (usually used to fight health care for all or some other effort to take care of the less well off), those who give up their freedom for the sake of security will soon have neither.

I've been surprised that Dems haven't used this argument to get universal health care.
[Read the article: The economics of abortion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There is little doubt in my mind that there would be a significant drop in abortions among the roughly 48,000,000 uninsured Americans (I supose roughly half are women) if there were health care for all.
It is a strong argument: maybe we can't all agree on abortion--but we can all agree on taking actions that would reduce them significantly. Universal health care would surely do that, and not a single solitary person would have to be offended or have their rights taken away in the process.
