There is an element of sufism (small s) in all Islam.. its the mystical connection as you said.... Sufism (capital S) is different. I don't know how you combine Sufism with Baathism... which is more Sunni than Shia.

ahh. here is a deeper understanding for me. sufi (small s)is common to all Islam then..
while I had thought Sufism is a sect - got it- thanks !

I know the evangelists and anti-choice ppl were hoping for a Republican, any Republican, to appoint a conservative justice to the SCt. They somehow think that that will magically make Roe v Wade go away. They don't seem to understand that 1) first an abortion case must come up, that 2) isn't shot down by a lower court, and 3) be accepted by the SCt to be heard. It's already established law that abortion is legal.

That's not even a blip on the radar anymore. Citizens United, Hobby Lobby, etc are all destroying the fabric of society, while we all discuss Roe
 
there is no defense for Trumps turnover. it shows his incompetence. Replacing employees is expensive and hurts productivity. Every time a new boss comes in, people go and other brought in. They have to be trained and have to catch up. Those who had a year on the job gone. This is another demonstration of Trumps stupidity and incompetence. He hired those people he fired after he claimed that was his expertise. Trump is showing every day what a joke president he is.

Trump doesn't know any better. He's never run a successful business.. more like a mom and pop operation. He's never even worked in a successful company.

Yeah, but Trumplestiskins still defend him. They are able top ignore standards and facts. This administration is run badly. There is no debate about that. There is no reason to think it will get better. Trumps ego is too big for him to seek and trust experts. He just put Larry Kudlow in Cohns position at the economic council. What is next, Dr Phil for surgeon general? Chuck Norris for defense secretary?

President Obama didn't do that, he reversed it.

Perhaps we need to stop putting white men in office, obviously they haven't gotten it right in 400 years.

But your whole premise is only Republican white men are racist. So how can you say that about so many prior democratic presidents?

My first year and a half as a small business owner I fired somebody about once every two or three months, sometimes more. Believe me it was a bad experience but I had no choice in every instance. They all had to go and I had no regrets. The last 8 years I don't even have to advertise or do much of an interview for a new employee. I pay well, never lose my temper, am fair, have a great policy manual that I've updated from time to time. My little organization is simply the place to work in my industry.
When I lose an employee it's because they move and there's always someone ready to quit their job and work for me. I just make a phone call or get a recommendation from the exiting employee.
Trump is attempting to drain the swamp, not an easy task. I'll give him 2.5 yrs. If there's still the chaos in his admin that he has now I'll reconsider.

Ahhhh this is what is so frustrating about the conservative notion of Government. No one wants a bloated, invasive, obstructive, corrupt government yet you want to swing to the opposite extreme of adopting policies that are self full filling prophecies or inept, incompetent and ineffective government. This "Draining The Swamp" notion is just exactly that. It's throwing the baby out with the bath water.

What works in business doesn't always work in government. This, for some inexplicable reason, baffles conservatives. Business is not government. They have two different missions. One is to serve the people (utilitarianism) and the other is to exchange goods and services at a profit (capitalism).

How many times have we listened to politicians bloviate about how their success in business qualifies them for public service at the highest level, get elected and prove themselves inept and overwhelmed at the magnitude and complexity of their job, as has been the case so far with Trump.

This harkens back to the Old Mark Twain joke that Republicans are people who believe government is the problem, get elected and prove it.

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. P. J. O'Rourke
