Assimilating (reformatted, emphasis mine)?

From October 22 to October 26, 2012, Wenzel Strategies polled 600 U.S. Muslims of high socio-economic status. They were asked:

• Do you believe that criticism of Islam or Muhammad should be permitted under the Constitution’s First Amendment?  58% – “no”, 42% – “yes”

• Those who criticize or parody Islam in the U.S. should face criminal charges. 45% – “yes”; 38% – “no”; 17% – “unsure.

• Americans who criticize or parody Islam should be put to death. 12% – “yes”

• Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Sharia.  51% – “yes”

• Violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad.  25% – “yes”

Democrat civil war!

(UPI) A group of 120 people, including 104 Sanders donors, filed suit in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, in the congresswoman’s home district. In the suit, the plaintiffs say that Wasserman Schultz and the DNC were fraudulent, negligent and misrepresented their true motivations in the Democratic presidential primary.

Citing internal email and memosthat have been leaked by someone claiming to have gotten them from Russian hackers who accessed DNC computer files, the plaintiffs say the DNC only ever considered Clinton to be the likely nominee.

Exactly one year ago today the Hands-Free law took effect in New Hampshire. It banned drivers from using electronic devices while driving, the primary target of the ban being cell phones and smartphones. We were told that this ban would make New Hampshire roads safer, and we’d have fewer crashes and deaths as a result of removing these distractions. I said they were full of s**t.

As Predicted – Dems Kick Sununu to the Curb

…So it wasn’t a pat on the fanny, it was a kick in the ass.

But you did do us all a favor. Now we know you can’t stand on platform or principle or in defence of taxpayers over Democrats and their lobbyists. You’re a cheap tent. Expensive lesson. Nice job dumb-ass.

So I have a question for the GOP foot-soldiers – how much longer are you going to

From Dan Tuohy, Union Leader,

Wayne Lesperance, a political science professor from New England College, said Sununu’s position may be an attempt to distinguish himself from the other GOP candidates, though at risk of angering conservatives.

Again, I’ve been listening and have been lectured to by these dour losers for 40 years – every time we turn around we’re told we’re running out of this, running out of that, and either we all are gonna die NOW, in 5 years, in 10 years, or that I HAVE to stop doing this, that, or something else.  Each and every time, it is clear that these Eyores keep forgetting one very important item – the ingenuity of humans to either overcome, find a technology “override” making a problem irrelevant…

…or find more of what the dismal-deathers say we don’t have:

As one of the researchers put it, “[t]here’s a lot more fresh groundwater in California than people know.” The breakthrough here involved searching for water deeper underground than aquifers designated for human consumption typically lie. The drawback (there’s always a drawback) is that the deeper water tends to be more brackish, and is naturally more difficult and costly to extract. Moreover, the deeper one drills for water, the closer one gets to oil and gas drilling (typically thousands of feet of rock layers separate hydrocarbons from groundwater tapped for consumption), and the greater the chance there is of contamination. All of that being said, this remains a remarkable find for the parched state.

Halfway across the world a different group of scientists employing a novel new detection technique found an enormous new supply of helium gas—an increasingly scarce element that’s critically important for advanced scientific research and medical technologies—in Tanzania. . . .
