I like the last part: “For those of you who think athe­ists are being too touchy, here are two addi­tions. Put your­self in the posi­tion of the patient. You are sick and depen­dent on this per­son to help you get bet­ter, and she declares that your belief in her god is impor­tant. What do you do?

“The PA hopes recog­ni­tion of the court’s juris­dic­tion will allow it to inves­ti­gate alle­ga­tions. Israel does not recog­nise the ICC’s juris­dic­tion. ” How many peo­ple want to take a bet on Israel break­ing the laws of war?

Wow really intel­li­gent: “And we will take 90 per­cent of Repub­li­cans with us into a New Party that will take its cur­rent place! We must end affir­ma­tive action, pro­tect our gun rights and all our con­sti­tu­tional rights, have a mora­to­rium on immi­gra­tion, we must have pro­tec­tion­ism, yes I said pro­tect Amer­i­can busi­nesses and their work­ers from NAFTA and GATT and the lie of free trade, and we must have Amer­ica First, not for­eign inter­ven­tion­ism. Our boys should be home pro­tect­ing the Amer­i­can bor­ders a not being mur­dered on the bor­ders of Iraq or Afghanistan. …the Repub­li­can Party, the last major party of White redoubt” Yeah, pretty sure you aren’t going to get any­where near 90% of the Repub­li­can party, maybe 9%.

I like the flip here. We learn more when we do things right, than when we fail.
