“Our approach is to be objective. We’re police, we’re evidence gatherers and we will let the evidence take us where the cases need to go. But in the early stages where we walk in the door, victims should be comfortable they’ll be talking to someone who believes them.” I would have thought that police and society would want a system whereby when police walk in the door, everyone involved is treated with respect. Victims and those accused should be comfortable they'll be talking with someone who doesn't prejudge them. Belief has nothing to do with it. By the way...is it possible to believe something when you first hear of it and yet also believe in your own objectivity.

“On the other hand, there are westerners who don't value the freedoms we have.” I think we’re closer in values and motives to each other than you think. But I suspect many may lack a historical perspective on this. Here’s a quick overview (all facts): * Islam emerges in the 7c. * After the first century, it conquers northern Africa, which had been Christian to a large extent. * By the middle of the 700s, Islamic armies are in central France (Battle of Tours). * For 7 centuries, Islam controls the Iberian Peninsula. * In the 16th c. Islam conquers Constantinople. * At the Battle of Lepanto (1571), the West narrowly avoids having an Islamic naval fleet take over the entire Mediterranean. * And as RECENTLY as 1683, the Battle of Vienna takes place. In other words, Islamic armies were in the very heart of Europe decades AFTER the founding of the American colonies.

It happened so often a few of us started joking privately about noting our suggestions in the calendar to see exactly how many days later it would take for our ideas to go from ridiculously impossible to sheer genius.” This happens in most management scenarios, regardless of the person's sex.

Also the best ideas are often immediately rejected by the status quo, only to be excepted later as situations evolve... or as the submitter of the idea is able to make a better case over time.

“No, progressives don;t want merely to develop doctrine, they want to change it ” You can;t know what isn't true. So you can;t know that progessive Catholics think doctrinal development aims to reverse [Church] teaching. Take the example of capital punishment. I don’t know anyone who would contest that the Church has taught that capital punishment is allowed in some cases. We also teach that Jesus was a victim of capital punishment. It is not hard to imagine that Jesus on the Cross might inspire the Church to repudiate the way he was killed, ie oppose capital punishment. This would change Church teaching on capital punishment because there is an implicit conflict that has not yet been resolved. Development would lead to abrogation of “settled” teaching. That has not happened yet, and may never, but I am pretty sure Newman allowed for that type of change.

Teaching him how there are just some people who cannot accept the obvious, or who blindly follow others without any actual thoughts of their own. Fortunately though, I doubt I'll have to explain why or how she became our first female President. Thankfully, she is the best reason to vote for the other guy.

“Lawyers for President Donald Trump said Friday that a review of his last 10 years of tax returns did not reflect “any income of any type from Russian sources,” Of course no one else can confirm this because, “The attorneys did not release copies of Trump’s tax returns...” To be clear, “The lawyers offered no supporting documents to back up the claims “, and “Trump has refused to release his income tax records” So I ask you, is this fake news?

“Last week, anti-fascist protesters at a university in California even shut down a panel on – that's right – free speech.” That’s right. This actually happened and it happened because the Berkeley event was a platform that sought to use ‘free speech’ as a means for expressing white supremacy. So yes it was vigorously protested by anti-fascists. It is entirely revealing of Wente’s fascistic inclinations that she would choose to overlook this fact in her defence of ‘free speech’. Here’s a thought that might offend the tender ears of those on the right who so vigorously defend free speech: the far right has constructed an entire fascist social movement around the notion of free speech. Those who organised the event at Berkeley did so because they knew it would be shut down thus affirming the sense of victimhood that fuels the right (including Wente). FS is never the point of these events. The only purpose they serve is to cultivate white victimhood.

“Judges are meant to be entirely apolitical. It’s part of being seen to be impartial. ---- The lesson here as the judge states, his peers openly supported Hillary, he just needed to follow their lead and keep his mouth shut in the court room. And that alleged loss of impartiality taints Justice Zabel, by making him appear supportive of the president’s statements on women and minorities, said Faisal Mirza, the chair of the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association. “There is no doubt that the Trump campaign, and that hat, is affiliated with intolerant, if not racist, remarks about every identifiable group that you can think of. A judge who works in a place like Hamilton should know there’s a visible minority population that routinely appears in those criminal courts.” Oddly enough, lawyers representing their association can openly display their hyper-partisanship. How can this lawyer now be trusted to represent conservative clients to the best of his ability?

I still have my original copy with my notes reading it and every bad thing that I expected it to lead to has proven true, and more. Fletcher himself became a proponent of the benefits of abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, eugenics, and cloning. No surprises there. He then left the Episcopal Church and his priesthood, and identified as an atheist. Also no surprise there. And that’s pretty much where that path leads.

“I’m not changing." And therein lies the problem for the GOP. They'd love to bottle up the magic elixir of media puppetry that Trump has shown them, but the problem is that it becomes toxic after a few doses. So they're left with their leader spewing out toxic waste, and they can't shut off the fountain and they're fast running out of sorbent pads and detergent. What the media loves even more than a belligerent, ignorant blowhard is a fiery train wreck. Trump and the GOP are delivering both. Ratings are going to reach new highs. Kick up your feet and watch the show.

That hasn’t happened to the Republican Party in many, many decades. So I think we’re going to be more inclusive, more unified and a much bigger party and I think we’re going to win in November.” - Trump I think someone needs to explain to Trump what "unifier" means. I have yet to see actions from him that demonstrate a team player mentality from him. Unification through division does not grow a party imo. Years from now we will learn that the reason Clinton's emails were deleted and Trump refuses to release his financial information are both the same conspiracy. It appears to me, Clinton's biggest supporter is Trump.

“I’m a historian and I think I am pretty good at recognizing the symbolism,” she said. Fair enough. I'm sure the hawk-eyed professor will be out there agitating just as earnestly next time someone on the Left says, oh, I dunno, "I want to kill all White people!" (BLM's Canadian leader - nice talk. Too bad it's racist, violent and stupid). As John Lennon sang, "But if you go around carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow." I guess John was aware that Mao and Stalin made Hitler look like an amateur in the killing game. But hey, perfessor, you who are both an historian (and so know all) and "pretty good at recognizing the symbolism", (wow - and the rest of us non-professors are what - stupid?

“It’s time to pay a living wage, to pay your taxes, and to give your workers the benefits – and peace of mind – that come with stable, full-time contracts." Neo-liberal politicians have always talked the talk but haven't walked the walk. And their media spokesman has continually facilitated the big lie that liberal governments care about the suffering of the people. And therin lies the entire conflict. The abject corruption of liberals refusing to help the struggling working class and middle class has pushed the entire Western world into the arms of the far right wing. Talk about a rigged economy surrounded by dysfunctional governments - The government of the Western world is like an airplane with two right wings. No wonder it isn't taking people where they want to go.
