If someone is trying to understand why Apple products do well and they're putting them in a feature comparison matrix against competitors, they're already doing it wrong.
Let's put aside who is right or wrong in this specific exchange — because as fiery as that debate could get, it's not relevant to what's most interesting about Schlessinger's statement, which is its reference to the First Amendment.
The proposed Muslim community center near Ground Zero has stirred up a lot of controversy. Most of that controversy is entirely without merit. It's not at Ground Zero (it's nearby, only a block closer than a mosque that's been there for decades).

Recently, 18-year-old Constance McMillen has become the target of discrimination. She intended to go to her prom dressed in a tuxedo with her girlfriend as her date.
BARACK OBAMA is a socialist who should be impeached. He may well have been born outside the United States, may be a racist who hates white people, and may also want the terrorists to win. In any case, he is indisputably less qualified to be president than Sarah Palin.
The Republicans' shock victory in the election for the US Senate seat in Massachusetts meant the Democrats lost their supermajority in the Senate. This makes it even harder for the Obama administration to get healthcare reform passed in the US.

To try to build a perfect intelligence system - one that will never miss a terrorist, that intercepts every dangerous e-mail - is an impossibility. We face skilled adversaries who are trying to deceive us. Hiding is often easier than finding.

On January 5th, I posted a fairly lengthy exposition on recess appointments and the recent decision of the Obama administration to ignore the fictitious "session" that the Senate has been forced into by House Republicans overstepping their constitutional role. Nine days ha …
Cancer weakened, but did not soften Christopher Hitchens. He did not repent or forgive or ask for pity. As if granted diplomatic immunity, his mind's eye looked plainly upon the attack and counterattack of disease and treatments that robbed him of his hair, his stamina, his speaking voice and eventually his life.
I used to frequent Newsvine -- obsess over might be a better phrase -- and now I don't. Mostly, I scan the headlines and lurk in the politics and technology sections.
Great comments and seeds... Keep up the good work!
Take care!— McSpocky
Adam is a tough SOB. He is smart and can debate with the best of them.
Adam... what can I say. Amazing writer with amazing talent. One of the smartest, most intelligent writers here on Newsvine, and seeds some amazing stuff as well.
I'm glad he's around, without him we'd be one atheist down here on Newsvine :)

Adam is one of the most frustrating Viners to discuss with. Not because he lacks civility or intelligence, but because he is persistent and knows what he's talking about.
He is one of those opponents who you wish were on your team :-)
Adam Kemp writes some of the most intelligent and thought-provoking comments and articles on newsvine. Always bringing a clear light to a muddled argument, this man should be on everyones watchlist.
This guy will make you think. If you think not, think again. He is very good at writing thoughtful pieces that kind of get you moving. He makes you want to find out. Adam Kemp is the first author I have left a comment on his column page. I hope to do many more, but Adam got me started. Thank you.
