6:51 PM yesterday TechBear commented on The Pope Doesn't Understand the Point of Atheists.

@Sam Levine #5 - So your reading of this is that the Pope is promulgating a doctrine that the Church has held for centuries was vile heresy and put people to death for simply believing, much less teaching to others?

May 21 TechBear commented on Morning News: An Even Bigger Tornado.

Providence is a hospital chain run in accordance with Catholic doctrine. PeaceHealth openly identifies itself as a Catholic ministry that runs hospitals. This is far scarier than what happened to Swedish.

May 20 TechBear commented on All You Motherfuckers Complaining That aPodments Are Too Small at 200 Square Feet.

Because Seattle should aspire to be Manhattan?

May 15 TechBear commented on We Can Do It!.

It is good to see change being brought about. Now, umm.... any chance I could get a poster of Brosie? My interest is purely academic, of course.

May 14 TechBear commented on Rodney Tom Endorses Republican Who Introduced Bill Allowing Discrimination Against Gays.

Why is the media still referring to Tom as a Democrat? He turned coat and joined the Republicans, and was officially excommunicated by state and district Democratic Party organizations. He is no more a Democrat than is Dino Rossi.

Wish I could read it, but I am out of free time. Oh, well.

May 13 TechBear commented on This Is What You Get, Liberals: Obama's Surveillance Scandal.

Many progressives and people of conscience have tried to point out that Obama has vastly extended the policies that Bush II put into place. We have been routinely ridiculed, demonized and otherwise told to shut up and remain good little rubberstamp voters by the Democratic apparatchiks, lest we put Republicans into office by making Democrats look bad.

And The Stranger has been right at the head of the line as a Democratic Party mouthpiece. If you want to blame someone, you can start at your own head office.

May 13 TechBear commented on That's How Come They Got to be Managers at a Movie Theater in Missouri.

Seriously, what would have happened if some gun-toting theater-goer, nervous after all of the massacres that have made news in recent months, took the rhetoric of the NRA to heart and stood up to protect the people in the theater? If shots had been fired, if someone was hit or killed, would it have been justified?

May 9 TechBear commented on The American Health Care Market.

So aside (because?) of the fact that Swedish is now a Catholic hospital run in accordance with Catholic dogma, they are one of the most expensive hospitals. Secular Virginia Mason is one of the least expensive.

The more information that comes out about Seattle area hospitals, the better Virginia Mason seems.

May 8 TechBear commented on Distorted Coverage of May Day and SPD Conduct Show Need for Big Changes in Seattle.

@44 - Socialist Alternative openly describes itself as Trotskyite. I was describing a vision of socialist revolution that is central to that ideology. If Socialist Alternative does not espouse such actions, then why model themselves on an ideology that does?

While they have purged this information from their website and the Wikipedia, they have forgotten that the internet is forever: archives of now deleted and changed pages show how they have described themselves in the past. And, they still proudly affirm their affiliation with the Committee for a Workers' International, another Trotskyite group with its own history of espousing violence for the cause and whose history has not been so whitewashed.
