“With one we get hope and change (we can all wrap our hands around) and the other we get common sense. Go figure. Maybe the two of them can get together for a summit over some moose and beer just as long as Biden has nothing to do with driving them there.”

“Brooks' refrain from going public is that he saw a parallel career between Palin and Obama. How could he rightfully tear one down without writing the exact same thing about the other? And he probably thinks that Palin actually is more qualified than Obama based on accomplishments at that point in their careers. The world is starting to realize that Obama is a master at campaigning but pretty timid when it comes to making a decision.”

“You're analogy is spot on with the exception that the PLO came to light in the early-mid 70's and the shah of Iran was overthrown in the late 70's while Carter was in Office. Radical Islam hadbeen developing and growing for about a decade before the collapse of the Soviet Union.”

“I find it comical that Prof Nye uses the word "liberal" in the Soviets awakening. They already had a liberal policy. Healthcare, Production, and other economic means were handled by the gov't before the collapse just like Obama wants today. What he wants to say but can't due to his ideology is that it was a conservative movement that led to free enterprise and the people owning the wealth.

I agree with him that it took both Reagan and his policies and Gorby and his policies to make it happen. They both fed off each other although neither was doing it intentionally.

If Obama was smart, he would start drilling in the US today and drive the price of oil down to drown the Middle East. Of course this will never happen.”

“I just started watching her every now and then out of curiosity. It was right after Joe Wilson's "you lie" comment and all I heard Rachel scream was "you lie" in this high pitched shrill. I don't see her as being funny either”

“I've never understood the line of questioning about what she reads. I guess it's because my answer would be similar. I read what pops up on the internet regardless of who the source is.”

“I think HP is trying to get all right leaning books to be listed on their own best seller list because they tend to take up most of the spots for all the others on the existing lists.”

“Your piece reads more like an opinion piece rather than something based on fact. Sure there's a lot of he said-she said stuff you write about but ..........­.......but­, is that all you got?”

“There's many a farmer in the Midwest that have never left their home-state but I bet you would think their story is as American as they get. I personally believe McCain was campaigning in a mode we will never see again. Something fully accepted up until this past election.Palin would have campaigned with a style much the same as Obama and his obviously was very successful.

2010 and 2012 will tell you all you need to know if it's the America YOU know and love or just the public getting hood-winked. (no pun intended)”

“But nothing wrong with Biden declaring the stimulus plan has worked beyond his wildest dreams while Obama is claiming he's now created or saved over a million jobs. The difference between Obama and Palin is that one is making decisions currently that affect the entire US and the other is a traveling celeb.”

“Obama felt certain that the dems would carry NJ and VA so he was willing to campaign there. He wouldn't touch NY-23 since the repubs had held that district for 150 years. WHOOPS!”

“If there were 65 million native deaths as a result of this discovery, I can already hear the left claiming there are 972 million people living in the U S without healthcare.”

“If what you are saying/ proposing is true, then it is time to withdraw our troops from around the world. Specifically, in the areas of active war, then in areas where the natives despise us most and lastly from our alleys' shores. Everyone would beholden this new approach and have new found respect for us as a nation and peace will consume every corner of the globe.
Well, that is assuming the leaders from "over there" preach and practice this dignitarian approach to politics. These Nobel Awards, just like the movie and music industry awards, is no longer about what is good or the best. They are a reflection of the beliefs of those awarding the trophies. Pick a movie, a musical group, an actor/actress that is the most vocal when it comes to liberal politics and that is who will win the award. Try it, you'll be surprised.”

“Let's not forget that there has been an attempt on every president since Reagan.”

“guns are to liberals what abortions are to conservatives.


hidden secrets until discovered”

“I initially thought Obama was choosing 2013 for HIS healthcare reform to become fully active because he knows the damage it will cause to the economy. His thinking is simply that if healthcare is in place, it's never leaving but he doesn't want to be around as the country goes deeper into debt.
But Drew made it occur to me that maybe the real reason of choosing 2013 is similar to an election during war. We typically keep the incumbent in office. Healthcare will be shut down or replaced if Obama is not in office until 2016 and that it will be his rally cry for re-election.

It looks pretty obvious that those who voted for Obama in search of "hope and change" are suffering from buyer's remorse. I'm glad Drew pointed out in clear terms the difference between W and O.”

“As I read this article, all I could say was wrong, wrong, and wrong. History will tell you how people will behave and respond to various threats. I think it was 17 UN sanctions and the world had no clue as to whether Saddam Hussein had WMD's. Thank God W came along and told the world he would handle it. Hussein has no possibilty of getting WMD's now. Case closed.
Now we're up to 2 or 3 or 4 UN sanctions against Iran and once again, we're depending on Russia and our allies to enforce these. The very same characters involved in the food for oil scandal that undermined the sanctions. Bush played it brilliantly. He didn't waste his time. He told Europe to handle it knowing full well that they would accomplish the same thing as anyone else. Just a waste of time. Obama is being played like a fiddle. Iran is buying all the time they need or want by getting the allies involved and acting like they are negotiating.”

“We all know who Acorn's target audience is. It has nothing to do with age, sex, race or ethnicity. It is strictly based on political alliance. If these poor people have the resources to find a way to an acorn office, they surely have the resources to get to a post office to register to vote.

We all know what targeting the poor to get into a house at the expense of government regulation has done to the economy. It does not work. It hurts the country as a whole.

Acorn is corrupt from top to bottom although there are a lot of people at the lower levels that have their heart in the right place. They are strictly paid pawns doing overt acts to make Acorn look good to the public. What is taking place down in the bowels of the organization wreaks with corruption and has for as many years as the organization has been around.”

“hmmmm.........”

“Wrong - 53 million is what Acorn has received since 93-94. 8 billion is what is allocated to go to various programs that Acorn has a hand in. So we know where the money is going although it does not say Acorn specifically.”

“The problem I have with Acorn is the same problem I have with Al Sharpton (although I like him). They both have tunnel vision and will only help those that benefit them. Last week Al referred to a black woman that got mugged/ beat up by some white guys. Of course that was racially motivated. He failed to mention the white kid on the bus that got beat up by the blacks. ( no racial motivation of course).

Whatever happened to registration taking place at the post office? We have probably 25% of postal employees sitting around doing nothing yet getting paid at the tax payers expense already. Let them canvas the neighborhoods like they do as part of their job description.

And don't forget that there is roughly 8 billion dollars allocated to Acorn from the stimulus package.”

“Maybe it's time for a panel of everyday citizens to write a bill for health care coverage. With the internet and other forms of media so easily accessible to all of us, it's not that far out of reach. Look what a pimp and a ho wannabe did to Acorn. Took them off the census bureau. All that's needed is a handful of accountants, doctors, and business people with lots of time on their hands. Get to work somebodies out there.”

“I'm sure we will be hearing about racism for the next 3 plus years. If you disagree with Obama, you're a racist. It doesn't get any simpler than that.”

“Will, you make a good argument except it can be said about any news organization regardless of the format. Jury picking, what a defendent wears to court, salespeople, magazine covers - they all apply the same concept - what sales best to the target audience.
Most of us would agree that most politicians are either in bed or involved with something/someone that lives in the grey zone. Sure they can take donations to get them re-elected but when all their votes cater to the donators' needs, it looks a little shady. We tend to accept that the Bush types will cater to the oil guys, Dodd and Frank to the banking and housing peeps and so on and so on. Those are business types that we accept. Obama's associations tend to be a little different. Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Van Jones. I could fill this entire column with names that if anyone else had these same associations, they would be called on it. You are the one who has elected to overlook it. Why is that? I believe it's the color of his skin. Obama is not getting treated any differently from the right than Bush was treated from the left. It's because we overlook his skin color and don't like the content of his character. If you are afraid to ask the same questions of a person of color that you would ask a white person, you're the one with the racial issues and not vice versa.”

“It wasn't that long ago that we prosecuted the blind sheik in NYC and we won the case. Mission Accomplished, I think. We have a handful of convicted terrorists sitting in our maximum super secure prison in Colorado and all is well. Well, that is until 9/11 burst onto the scene.
What was it?, 17 UN resolutions to not let Saddam Hussein acquire WMD's and it wasn't until his capture and death that the world knew for certain he would never acquire them. Bush -1, the UN - still scratching their collective chins. It takes resolve to get some things accomplished and thankfully we had someone in charge that had resolve.
NEXT!”
