Admin webmdave Posted December 12, 2007 Admin Share Posted December 12, 2007 A two-part video of a debate featuring Michael Shermer and Dinesh D’Souza which was held on Monday, October 15, 7 PM, by the Oregon State University Socratic Club. Dinesh D’Souza is the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Investor’s Business Daily called him one of the “top young public-policy makers in the country,†and the New York Times Magazine named him one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers. Before joining the Hoover Institution, Mr. D’Souza was the John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. In 1987-88 he served as senior policy analyst at the Reagan White House. From 1985 to 1987 he was managing editor of Policy Review. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1983. His books include the New York Times bestseller What’s So Great About America. His 1991 book Illiberal Education was the first study to publicize the phenomenon of political correctness. His latest book, What's So Great About Christianity, will appear in early October, published by Regnery. He is also the author of The Virtue of Prosperity: Finding Values in an Age of Techno Affluence. D’Souza’s articles have appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, New Republic, and National Review. Michael Shermer is the Publisher of Skeptic magazine, a monthly columnist for Scientific American, and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Politics and Economics at Claremont Graduate University. Dr. Shermer’s latest book is The Mind of the Market, on evolutionary economics. His last book was Why Darwin Matters: Evolution and the Case Against Intelligent Design, and he is the author of Science Friction: Where the Known Meets the Unknown; The Science of Good and Evil: Why People Cheat, Gossip, Share Care, and Follow the Golden Rule; and How We Believe: Science, Skepticism, and the Search for God, which presents his theory on the origins of religion and why people believe in God. He is also the author of Why People Believe Weird Things on pseudoscience, superstitions, and other confusions of our time. Shermer has an M.A. in experimental psychology from California State University, Fullerton and a Ph.D. in the history of science from Claremont Graduate University. http://exchristian.net/exchristian/2007/12...-for-world.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hereticzero Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Christianity is quickly approaching fascism in America. Some churches have gone to using the Nazi Iron Cross as an emblem, and I am not referring to the Aryan Nation or KKK, I am referring to mainstream churches and ministries. The attached photos are from a friend who found them on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, just this morning I was having breakfast at a restaurant and saw this guy getting on his motorcycle outside and his helmet was just like an old WWII German helmet and it had this iron cross painted on the top of it. Almost just like the one in your picture. I was speculating with my friend on what type of neo-nazi he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Harley Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm certain they claim it's the Teutonic or Celtic Cross... did no one else notice that, in the very late eighties and early nineties that a lot of companies went for simple red, black and white logos?

BlueGiant Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'd like to point out that red black and white are a very nice high-contrast combination and red is one of the easier colors to pick out. Also, it can be done with two inks, iirc. It also beats the hell out of those bright neon "fluorescent" colors that were also way common in the 80's and early 90's. Now when you add in the banners and rally speeches (services), I think you have the beginnings of something... Well, that and the weird salutes.
