Is Herman Cain This Stupid?

Herman Cain: American Communities Have The Right To Ban Mosques | TPMDC:

"'Let's go back to the fundamental issue,' Cain said. 'Islam is both a religion and a set of laws -- Sharia laws. That's the difference between any one of our traditional religions where it's just about religious purposes.'"

Herman Cain another day.

Cain continued, “This is my point. If you take an oath on the Qur’an, that means you support Sharia law. I support American law. Our laws were derived from principles that are biblically based. Maybe not said in the same words that are in the Bible, but our laws are derived from principles based upon the Bible. ”

So ... Christianity is just like Islam ?

Performance increased by 3x in rendering large AWR reports.
Added new tabs to SQL Popup for Query Plan, Color SQL, and AWR SQL Report

The new options in the SQL Popup expose features of the AWR repository that I don’t think many people are aware of, but I think are really useful."

Who Would You Listen To About Reparative Therapy?

Bachmann Husband’s Counseling Center Raises Questions - NYTimes.com:

"That stance puts Dr. Bachmann at odds with most mainstream medical associations; a 2007 task force put together by the American Psychological Association concluded that “efforts to change sexual orientation are unlikely to be successful and involve some risk of harm.”

But the American Association of Christian Counselors, which has 50,000 members, supports reparative therapy “on biblical, ethical and legal grounds” for patients “with a genuine desire to be set free of homosexual attractions,” according to its code of ethics. The goal is “heterosexual relations and marriage or lifelong sexual celibacy.”"
