Not all populist movements are created equal. Anger is the lifeblood of the Trump base and he continually stokes that anger. He may not be overtly racist (that's debatable), but he certainly has done nothing to discourage racism among his supporters. Trump is a coward and an opportunist who refuses to call out even the most egregious offenders within his base. I don't know how to heal the deep divisions in the body politic, or even that they can be healed, but I do know that it will never happen as long as the two sides continue to demonize each other. When Trump stops his name-calling and his belittling Tweets and starts acting like a statesman, then maybe I'll start believing he's interested in healing division.

Hogwash Gary - You cannot have your cake and eat it too. That is what I disrespect most about evolutionists, is the hypocrisy. If you are going to live by the sword, you must die by it. At least have the courage to admit and accept it. And why is sexual violence any more unacceptable that violence, the fact is you have no foundation as a Darwinist to condemn anything of this nature. If you are going to travel down this road, then you MUST defend animals we eat, and every other act of "violence" that imposes an outside will upon another being. I can discuss any topic rationally with any person, but hypocrisy is something I will not deal with.

Since we're citing cliches'....how about "no good deed goes unpunished." Gary crum

have we not made it a "right" yet that people can come here and bring their "extended" family?

Trump did run as a racist.

Would you be willing to put a yard sign up A? It will say "I SUPPORT A CHILD SEX PREDATOR FOR US SENATE"

She was already pregnant when he married her, but that's beside the point. These stories are metaphors.

How about you let parents decide? It is not up to you to make those decisions. I am not sure who appointed you as the arbiter of what a school should or should not do.

Yes, my apologies. I shouldn't have generalized with that. I agree, the environment needs improvement and I have no issue with that.

Thou shalt not kill... Turn the other cheek... ....except when I'm doing God's will!

In my book, anyone who earns over-$100,000.00 is wealthy. The most I've ever earned in one year was $47,000.00.

There are additional costs under the current regime that we haven't yet addressed. For example, being convicted of possession, especially for the harder drugs, renders an individual less able to participate in society and the economy. (This is even more in the USA than it is in Canada, where a criminal record can deny you access to many jobs, most student loans, and so on.) Anyway, considering the enormous cost of "crime/policing" under prohibition, we'd have to come up with a whole lot of new expenses under legalization to get back up to that level. So I don't think that increased costs are "quite conceivable" at all, frankly. Costs are important, of course, but for me, the issue of justice is paramount. Where is the justice in convicting people for what's essentially a victimless crime? The job of the justice system is to protect people from OTHER people -- not from themselves. We should not be using the law to impose morality. That's unjust.

What is wrong with my statement ? You claim it exploded into being out of nothing, is that supposed to be more believable ? As I said - take a few more BH's (or something harder). I have my finger on the MUTE button Fishy.

Actually, no. Religion is not intended to defend pedophiles, only lunatic pedophiles are the ones attempting to defend themselves.

Let's this take this at face value from what we know. Supposedly going to this summit was to talk about reviving TPP. Meetings were obviously scheduled and initial talks had already been held. So when all the leaders show up for a meeting on Friday, and the PM doesn't show, it does send a message. On the surface you might say it was rude, digging down, it could have been a bargaining ploy, a strategy if you will. Those who love digging in old records could perhaps try and find out when was he last time a PM snubbed leaders at a trade conference, which we hoped to arrange a deal. Obviously there is a whole lot more to this story, but the optics at this point are not good, and no amount of partisan spin will make it better. There are no Harper memos this time.

That's quite a weak argument. "What about" just proving me wrong? I doubt that you can.

Kudos to DLS.

Interesting article, and while I'm inclined to take it seriously, there is no hard evidence cited. So I await more charges from Mueller. Until then, this is merely background for a real news story in the future.

What I would like most to change would be to get the hierarchy to accept the inevitability of the freedom of its laity. Many in the hierarchy does not like the laity's assumption of the right to make its own decisions, and its demand that it be persuaded instead of ordered. Indeed, the institutional Church often works on the implicit assumption that it is still dealing with peasants of centuries ago who did what they were told (usually) without question, without argument, without the demand that it be heard, consulted, persuaded. It ought to be obvious by now that this is not so. When Church leaders pretend to deny that the souls of the laity are shaped by a constant exercise of freedom or lament the passing of the good old days when there was a lot less freedom, they have turned their faces against history. Moreover, they miss the point of their own tradition which says that virtue is formed by the frequent repetition of free human acts.

"I don't think people are scandalized by the pope. I think they're being told to be scandalized. I think there's a difference," Cupich said Nov. 6 at a public conversation with Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics. The Republican bishops and the rightwing blogosphere have orchestrated attacks on our pope. When their hero Donald Trump was humiliated by Pope Francis in Rome, they accelerated their attacks.

It is DEFINITELY ON THE CARDS I FOR ONE I AM SICK OF PAYING TAXES AND BEING TREATED LIKE A SECOND GRADE CITIZEN AS A TAXPAYER

I am doing no such thing. I'm saying that your "we know God created everything to appear old" is an absurd conclusion. I'm not debating with you, I'm debating that the vague claims made in the Bible do not stand up to observation. You claim they are more accurate than our observations, or contain special answers about what we observe. You fail to prove this, and retreat to name-calling and special pleading. "We know it's this way because of the bible, you're swine and an idiot because you don't accept my special pleading." In Genesis it's widely known that a "day" could be interpreted to mean "an age". Again, we're just going back to debating dates here. Your own religion can't even agree on the dates. Either things are old, or they were made to appear old. Which is it? Which is more consistent with observation? Do you think that night and day existed before there was the sun? That's also what's in your special "more accurate than observation" book says.

If they’re worried about seepage, the Brits might want to wait till all the bogus refugee claimants in Europe have been sent home, before agreeing to the decision reversal.

I am an unabashed, NPR, junky and by and by love KSKA, so Charles thank you for this column. Its bitter sweet to hear, Bede go, but yeah she has earned it.

This doesn't belong in Canada. It's going to destroy the country as we know it. Don't let this happen. One's rights should not come at the expense social cohesion. There's nothing normal about hiding face for entirety of life. It does not need to be respected. It does not need to be protected.

You have not been studying your quantum physics. To say we live in an observable universe is not true. There is more to this universe than you can see. How far away are those stars, really?

There was no smear of Trump, it was his own words that the public heard. He was speaking of his experience, he said so, that was not "locker room talk". It makes no sense for the GOP to support a Democrat candidate nor does it make sense that the Democrats would make up an allegation to get Republicans to vote for a Democrat. The only person that should resign is the person that was twice removed from his office for unethical & illegal actions.

2nd Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: all of which has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the op-ed.

What? Where are all the "fans" who show up here after a loss? Nothing to say when they win and are looking like a strong NBA team I guess. Some people are never happy unless they're spreading misery.

It's pretty rich that one of the authors of the Lisbon treaty is accusing others of being misleading. The Lisbon treaty was design to leverage countries into the EU, even if they voted against it, for example France and the Netherlands.

Hey Ray, I think the Broncos are beyond apologetic cliches after losing 3 straight games in miserable fashion. This coach and players have lost complete focus and in a downward spiral and on the verge of giving the organization its worst performance ever. It's not hey it's my bad sorry long time Bronco fans were trying to figure this out. This team is in complete disarray that is long on excuses and short on solutions thanks to a coach that has never been in this situation before ex: Josh Mc Daniels.

this is the reason why EUropean students constantly outperform American students in all areas . Because they are taught many foreign languages . Because Europe has many different Nation States and they are all interconnected . Forcing the students there to LEARN more than a single language . This stimulates the brain in ways that most American school boards and educator cannot understand . It really allows the children to interact and view the world around them in ways other than a SINGLE MYOPIC and closed point of view . It opens up the mind rather than what we tend to do in America and that is shut it down .. and just teach TESTING ... a rather ridiculous way to teach anything .. Because we live on planet that has many different people culture and languages this can be useful and is a tool by which to open up the mind to many different perspectives via language ..

What is Double cask? When a whisky is labeled as “Double Barrel” or something similar, means that the whisky was aged in one type of barrel for a certain duration, then drained from that cask and put into another type of reused cask for the remainder of the ageing process. Is this true for this whiskey? Just curious. http://dealsofcanada.ca/

Except right wing Christians and Evangelicals don't represent the entire spectrum of the Christian faith. In fact, I would call their behavior very un-Christian; faith is a very broad spectrum. I'm sorry your personal experience caused you to turn off, but rest assured that there are millions of caring, unjudging Christians.

Of course I know that religion is not intended to defend pedophiles. That statement was intended to demonstrate the absurdity of Zeigler's defense of pedophilia.

When did they get "married?" And who married them? Joseph may have taken Mary as a life partner, but no one in any church performed a ceremony, and the government never issued a license. Marriage was instituted as a sacrament by the Roman-Catholic Church at the Council of Nicea. Before that time, people just took life partners. And they didn't have to get a divorce, either.

Bring us his head.

They will. Just waiting for the NYT to publish first.

Cardinal Peter Turkson, the head of the Vatican dicastery, said at the conference's opening Nov. 10 that the event was planned long before Trump's visit to Asia was announced. "It just happens to be a happy coincidence," Turkson joked, adding: "If we believe in divine providence, that was part of it." If Cardinal Turkson is our next pope, this moment will be seen as a memorable moment on his way to the papacy.

The Canadian contingent isn't going to rush into a deal -- rightly so. Trudeau and senior officials have talked recently about wanting to roll back concessions made during the broader TPP talks when the United States was still involved. They feel there is a need for stronger protections for Canadian culture, supply management and intellectual property. So "Selfie Boy" or "Justine" is actually fighting for Canadian industries. Of course, the timid Cons would sacrifice Canadian interests for the sake of protocol. "Better be on time, might not look good."

Give them this: the Nuggets are playing a lot better this November than they did last November. Last year's 7-13 start cost them a playoff berth, if you think about it. Hopefully they can keep building on it. To me the real test will be if they can close out the home stand with a win after last night's TNT game--in the past, the Nuggets would get too pleased with themselves and lose a home game they should win.

Yup, would be military to act up.

Alabama people are too smart for the LEFTIST.. Thank you Judge Moore for running. They are scared of a Christian Conservative..A TRUE CONSERVATIVE. Sincerely, Florida

They never had sex? I feel so sorry for them!

lmao. i just read that in the voice of someone with a fat chaw in. brown spit dribbling down their chin. kinda funny. imagine being so obsessed with a losing politician that it you downplay alleged pedophilia.

"War is peace", "Freedom is slavery", "Ignorance is strength". (1984, George Orwell) Now in this new "modern" orwellian inversion of concepts of the liberals and leftists, defending burkas and niqabs is a fight for "principles", "fundamental rights" and even "women's rights". Yeah, women's rights, no kidding! But the worse is that those liberals/leftists are deadly serious about what they are saying. For many of them, it is not just hypocrite posturing for political ends but real conviction! This world is becoming completely nut!

Facts. This is old fake news; it's been investigated and hashed over and put to rest long ago; the only reason anyone's talking about "Bill Clinton's victims" is because that old nothingburger is another recycled GOP faux scandal regurgitated by Russian trolls for a new generation of suckers who never look anything up. Three women, Willey, Broaddrick, and Jones, accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct. All three have recanted or changed their stories at least once. Broaddrick and Willey testified, under oath, that Clinton never made unwanted advances. Witnesses, including Jones' own sister and BIL and six close friends of Willey's, stated that Willey and Jones had described their encounters with Clinton as consensual. Jones was exposed as a liar for saying Clinton's penis had a deformity, and Willey lied under oath repeatedly to Ken Starr's investigators. None has ever provided a shred of evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_sexual_misconduct_allegations

It can join chief etc.

I prefer: flies to garbage, myself.

I stand corrected. The USCCB had in fact (on 10/25) issued a letter expressing their concerns about some predictable and despicable consequences for the poor and families of the current tax reform proposal, but apparently no wide publicity of it has been given so far (AFAIK). It's quite common that exhortation and moral guidance letters from bishops get read from the pulpit. Even if such venue might not be completely appropriate in this case, it would be very informative for the faithfuls if this letter were at least called to their attention, and perhaps included in parishes' weekly bulletins.

I cannot take this idiot seriously. He actually believes Guam can tip over if too many people go there.

Really, R.D.? What is your source of information? Fr. Zed? Breitbart.com? Predator priests have been in the priesthood for centuries. Indeed, John Paul II protected Fr. Maciel, the most notorious abuser of all. Get some facts.

I believe it was God himself who knocked up that teenager. Not Joseph.

no it's in anticipation for later when closed minded people die off from old age and the real age of COMMUNICATION between Nations and people inhabitants of Earth really begin . Because see learning what other people are about is far preferable to the SANE mind than just killing them and or shutting them out ......MXER

and I also predict that in years to come, the pontificates of JPII and Benedict will both be looked upon as failures and an embarressment to the church. for their repudation of VII and for their handling of the abuse crisis.

China becoming only superpower. Trudeau knows this, so he does what Xi tells him to do. China says: "No TPP."

Another GLOBALISTS.

You threatening to mute me only shows how intolerant you are of other viewpoints. I don't care if you do or if you don't. I never claimed, "it exploded into being out of nothing" because that would claim knowledge about what caused something that LITERALLY cannot have any cause or effect before or after it. Whatever it was. Time started at the big bang, no event before it could have impacted an event after it. The event itself is the origin of all cause and effect (it was the singularity), it is the origin of time itself (for our purposes). You need to hear what I'm saying and what I'm claiming. I know there are gnostic atheists who claim to "know". I am not one of those. What I have issue with is with what we can observe. We observe things that appear old. We observe processes that appear to take vast amounts of time to complete. The further "out" we look we also look "back" (where the big bang theory comes from). Instead of accepting observation as-is you say "I KNOW it's a LIE".

In the last 6 months we have 1. Had a car screech to a stop, less than a foot from us, while in the middle of a crosswalk 2. Ended up on the hood of an SUV, as we crossed a side street at a corner, because the driver couldn't be bothered looking right as she tried to turn right. 3. Got driven back onto the sidewalk as a car ran a red light at an intersection 4 In the car - had two cars reverse into us 5. Had 3 cars run stop-signs The truth is: half the drivers on the roads don't belong there.

Can you spell G E N T R I F I C A T I O N! All those poor people are about to be pushed... progress.

War = destruction of the brightest and best, our youth, our future. Whether in mind, spirit or body, incredible and irreparable damage is done. Honour them all, thank each one you come across and listen to them if possible; it helps them heal. They certainly deserve it.

He thinks its racist that almost half of Calgarians think he is a terrible mayor. I voted for him the first time, but not the second or most recent election as he is too cocky and narrow minded or "too big for his britches" as you said. That is not a racial slur.

If Texas A&M can manage to grow fruit trees in Alaska more power to them. Alaska is not a laboratory environment for subtropical trees.

I have volunteered in classrooms for many years since I retired. It has been an eye-opener. In the elementary grades this issue is becoming a crisis. Students with behavioral problems tax the classroom resources and consume a large portion of the instructional time of teachers, aides, and volunteers. The average and gifted students are often not getting the instruction and attention they deserve to improve or excel. Mainstreaming has been a well-intentioned, bold experiment that has mostly failed. Demanding parents, administrators, lawyers, federal laws and guidelines are damaging primary education.

APOC? Apoc has nearly been "cut" out of existence. Legislators don't really want APOC, and they don't want honest disclosure.

I am complicit in nobody's death, because I refuse to put myself in a situation where I must take responsibility for someone else's decisions or way of life. As for Heath Ledger: nobody is to blame except himself. "...found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with sleeping pills — both prescription medication and nonprescription — on a night table. They attempted to revive him, but he did not respond." (New York Times, Jan, 2008) "Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of New York released its conclusions, based on an initial autopsy ... and a subsequent complete toxicological analysis. The report concludes, in part, "Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine." It states definitively: "... the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescribed medications." (Wikipedia) "Prescribed medications," by an MD. Example not relevant.

Cool!! Been learning Mandarin the past 12 years (formally for 3 now), and it's a PAIN. Likely easier learning it early. Good to see this is happening. All Americans should speak Spanish, too, since a good many of our neighbors speak the language.

Schizoid tendencies.

I have a hard time believing that someone like Scheer is able to separate his closely held religious beliefs from his political direction. Until the Conservative party separates from social conservatism I won't be able to support them.

Well, by my estimation we have approximately 365 not exactly proud days for journalism per year.

I wanted to stay loyal to CBC and the National as we need a public broadcaster in Canada. In my dreams, it would be a high quality network like PBS. The sad reality is that the slick new National is more cringeworthy than ever. Not only do we have endless commercials and previews and recaps taking up broadcast time, now there are distracting full screenshots of the 2-4 new anchors. This, when there was actually a news item that is relevant, about the Fentanyl crisis. Why even bother calling it The National when the majority of coverage is about the U.S. and Donald Trump, more analysis than news focus, repeat features. Get back to basics CBC and report on the News Facts that are current. Consult your talented anchors, your audience, your rival networks, your own more successful local newscasts. Take a page from RIM's playbook and don't make the same mistakes.

I spent 28 years teaching/counseling dysfunctional adolescents in probation facilities, residential treatment centers and public schools and find this story hugely disturbing. About 30 years ago I had an OpEd published in the RG, then the NYT addressing this very issue. It was titled "Creating Monsters" and focused on the need for early and consistent intervention when students' behavior interrupts the classroom and, especially, threatens the safety of other students and the staff. At the risk of sounding a bit presumptuous, I suggest the 4J administrators need to read it. The "culture of chaos" described in this story CANNOT be tolerated. Gary Crum

Had to be built? You have obviously never been on it or near it. A perfectly serviceable, existing route on Country Hills Blvd, a mere 1.5 km to the north. A $480 million boondoggle. When originally proposed it was to avoid having to close the Barlow Trail which was then the main access the airport, prior to the now universally used, and far shorter Deerfoot Trail and Country Hills Blvd accesses. And the Barlow access is now closed anyways. yeah, you really know this issue.

So, "Too big for his britches" and "uppity" is code for racism? Perhaps visible minorities...or at least this one...are too quick in the rush to judgment and to take offense. Journalists from this paper repeatedly referred to Coderre as "arrogant" and "Omnimayor". Is that code for anti-French, or is it code for fat-shaming? It appears Mayors do get too big for their britches, with inflated senses of self-importance, and thin skin once the adulation they used to enjoy declines. Nenshi is not different than Coderre and others before him, although no doubt he thinks he is. As for Mason, it was lazy journalism to accept such whining at face value. What is this "code" for?

Mr Trump says he'll always put USA interests first, as should every leader for their country. A very sensible and reasonable position, and completely in sync with the "locavore - buy local" educated millennials that like sheep have accepted their indoctrination to despise him. People are funny.

I heard Mitt abused a whole bunch of college women while Governor of Massachusetts. I have the whole story. Dozens of them. See how easy that was Mitt? See how the Dims do it? Now, don't be so stupid, okay?

First, I'm going to ask you how we know. Do you know the methods we've used to determine the distances to the stars? I do, but I doubt you do.

Vague claims ? Like the universe exploding out of nothing ? Or believing fairy tales about frogs becoming princes ? When you can give us a rational explanation for these you might get some listeners. Your career as a wiki scientist is fleeting Fishy. You are not an expert in "my religion" when you put yourself through college and seminary and have had years of mentoring I might listen to you, but at this point in time you are simply a crank on a website who uses canned arguments to push her agenda. Day is referred to as a sunrise and sunset, as far as "age" I see no relevance at all the the discussion, what difference does it make ? It all had to begin somewhere and human dating methods to not answer the question of origin, case closed.

This program sounds incredible. This sort of innovative, rigorous program is exactly what American ed. needs. Going to look into this for my youngest.

Gonna be really cool when the antiquated stubborn fools die off and the intelligent recognize the benefits of good communication in an ever-increasing international community.

Oh, heaven help us. I’m not a bible-thumping Christian, but even I know that the idea that Joseph hadn’t consummated the marriage is, um,sort of central to their Christmas story. That, and the fact the Bible never mentions Mary’s age. Oh Lord, please save us from your confused followers.

So sticking it to the students and crying for more money from a cash-strapped state is UA's budget plan? How long did they deliberate to come up with this?

But... the upper middle class whitefolk won't lift a finger to say anything against the oligarchs who will pay less taxes and continue to stash money in tax shelters. Upper middle class whitefolk could end the oligarchy in a heartbeat and make a push for true equality in America. The rich aren't as powerful as they have lead us to believe.

The point is that there are many people who have good (and high) incomes, but very little in the way of savings. All they do is spend. They're the type who buy the latest silly iPhone, new cars, Starbucks, the latest TVs, cable, etc.

Apparently you believe the concept of innocent until proven guilty applies to everyone but Bill Clinton, who is not only not on trial here, but whose accusers were long ago proven to be liars.

And at the end of the day, John sits down to do his daily examination and puts this in his "heroic deed" list.

USAToday is just a leftist trash rag out to fool weak-minded leftists. It seems to be working.

Learning mandarin really shows me how difficult the transition is, and gave me a great respect of the native Mandarin speaking people learning English. The two languages are SO far apart.

"“It’s clear their debt exceeds their assets,” Hawaii Chief District Judge J. Michael Seabright said..." Now, for the REST of us, WE'D have to file bankruptcy when this situation occurs as this is exactly what bankruptcy is for but, apparently, this fine judge chooses that WE bankroll their legal fees DESPITE blatant evidence of wrongdoing. Maybe if they WERE forced to play by OUR same financial rules, the cash for the payments they're making on their million plus dollar house would then be freed up for them TO pay for their OWN legal fees. That's how it works for the REST of us. BLIND/unchecked favoritism is what has CAUSED this mess in the first place and now there's just more of it.

You DO realize that the Bible is mythology, right? As in, not a historical document, not based on anything that actually happened? These people never existed, they were made up! Roy Moore, on the other hand, is an actual person, a low-live scumbag who uses the veneer of a religion to give his crappy persona a sheen of respectability. Scratch the surface, though, and you can see that he is really a turd.

SB 21 worked. It put more oil in TAPS - which is precisely what it was supposed to do. And it would have continued working but Walker, his democrat backers, the unions, Backbone and the Alaska Firsters all started chasing the producers out of state. Might be worth your while to review the Aesop fable about The Goose That Laid The Golden Eggs. Kill the goose and the golden eggs stop. Chase off the producers and the money stops. Cheers -

What a hypocrite Justin is. A "feminist" as long as it gets votes. A supporter of "human rights" and "equality" when it's to his political advantage.

International diplomacy is a chess game. I imagine the PM wants to send a message to other TPP countries and his own countrymen that Canada participation and acquiescence ought not be taken for granted. I’m also quite sure that the other partners knew very well through back channels he wouldn’t show up. Contrast this approach to trumps which was to peevishly cancel participation and thus cut the USA out of the loop.

Bill: Please don't use this story as a platform for attacks on liberals. The chaos described in this story is far, far too serious to turn into such an attack. The students referenced in this story are the very kids I spent 28 years teaching and counseling. I'd be happy to discuss the issue with you anytime. Gary Crum

Back when there was some sense of normalcy in our world, Dems would have delighted over this revelation about Moore coming right before the election (Dec. 12). It would have meant he absolutely could not win the Senate seat. Not today. Thanks to the Pervert-in-Chief and the dismal level of intelligence among Alabama voters, Moore is still probably a shoe-in for the seat. Trumpism and the dregs of society who still cling to him are the swamp (sewer) that must be drained. The sooner, the better.

The Trabant was a gasoline powered disaster. It was developed in East Germany shortly after WW II when East Germany was under the Soviet boot. East Germany did not benefit from the Marshall Plan that helped West Germany to regenerate its manufacturing industries after WW II. The Soviets did not spend great sums on or in East Germany, in part because they were busy picking up the pieces after much of their country had been destroyed. You are way off base with this post, way off base.

You made the claim. It's upon you to prove it.

Not true. Some drugs/medications are simply not made available to those on Medicaid. This article points to the weaknesses of the free market not it's strengths. And the ACA has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you believe that health care is a privilege then I guess your notions are understandable. If, however, you believe that health care is a right then you are totally off base. Referencing Obama as the greatest divider-in-chief points to how the GOP from the very beginning sought to undermine any and all of his reforms due to ideological or racist reasons. Socialism has always existed and exists today in America. It is the hope for our survival. We are all in this together. War is a direct function of greed. Unbridled and unregulated capitalism is the cause of conflict around the planet and America is the great instigator of it. Economic systems need to evolve. It is certainly possible to have a socialist economic system within a democracy.

What...for defending Catholic teaching? LOL
