The Pentagon’s Destruction of the Bill of Rights
[image: undefined] It is supremely ironic that Pentagon officials take an oath to support and defend the Constitution because they intentionally destroyed the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution when they set up their “judicial” system at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan has also donated $500 to a Democrat Congressman. Karlan has been accused of academic dishonesty by former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams.

San Francisco declares that Massachusetts is too conservative
When you think the loons running San Francisco can't get any crazier they prove you wrong. Starting in January the city of San Francisco won't allow city contracts with companies in the state of Massachusetts because Massachusetts's abortion laws are too "restrictive". It's unclear if that means that universities in Massachusetts, like Harvard, can't be hired for consulting work. Given that Blacks are 6 times more likely to be homeless in San Francisco than white people will Massachusetts black list California companies because of San Francisco's racism?

But if Hegel believed in a god, then that god is not a perfect being like the god of any religion. His god is an entity that seeks perfection in the universe that he has himself created. This god is eternal, he is immutable, but he needs to manifest himself in the universe in order to perfect the world, for only by perfecting the world can the god ... more »
