DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* *Sunday Thoughts:* Maybe it's the approach of Halloween. Maybe I just wanted to put a smile on Pence's lifeless face, but, last night I had the strangest dream: I rode up to my local Roman Catholic church like this, crashing through the doors, right on up to the front! I leaned the cross I was bearing against the alter and told the alter boys to run out as fast as they can. I handed the presiding priest a piece of paper and showed him where to sign. He foolishly did so and instantly disappeared in a puff of red-tinged smoke as the choir howled and cackled. The air was a... more »

Quite a few people thought it was crazy and highly unlikely, but an idea none the less worth considering. It went a little something like this: in order to lessen the impact of China’s massive naval build-up and negate the lethalit... more »

Tulsi v Hillary... Godzilla v Destroyah

*Although... she's not wrong about the personification of the rot* Not everyone wishes Hillary would go away-- or at least go silent until after the election-- but everyone I know does. This blog has been a bastion of anti-Tulsi sentiment for at least 6 years, when she started serving in Congress. And it really has been a go-to-spot for all Tulsi's history long before she was known on the national stage. Take a look. I had a nice meeting with her before she declared she was running and she answered all my questions and then asked me to stop writing about her so negatively while she ... more »

On Kant’s Categorical Imperative

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 day ago
Immanuel Kant has argued for only one categorical imperative which is best known by this formulation: “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.” The Kantian categorical imperative is a product of reason alone. Kant understood reason as the faculty that discerns and dictates universal laws. He posits that if reason dictates a moral law, then that law will be capable of being universalized—it would necessarily dictate that you must act according to the universal law, or in accordance to the maxims that you can univ... more »
