In the Case of Rush Limbaugh, Activism Once Again Prevails
Perhaps the most precise word to summarize Limbaugh's reaction to news that his inflammatory commentary of the past excluded him from ownership in the NFL is "fear."

The first three words of the Constitution say, "We the People." "We" is a lovely word; it is inclusive. Life forms and nature are a delicate dance of symbiotic relationships. Some people understand that there is only one world and we are all in this together.

I would never advocate harming Rush or his kind; we are too kind. But I think it's time to stop behaving like ourselves. Anyone who brings a gun to a rally needs to be roughed up.

The reality -- that ACORN is an established group with worthy goals and some success but also poor management -- is not what's driving the story. Conservatives want to destroy ACORN and the things it does. Period.

There's a lot there for a thoughtful, conservative critique of Obama. But that's not where the conversation is going right now -- it's all about the shiny black object.

The opponents of Obama's health care reform gave him a gift. They so overplayed their hand that now the president can show Americans how irrational, irresponsible and false their criticisms are.

It seems pretty clear that Obama is actually insisting that we change the approach that led the economy off a cliff. I just don't get it.

I always thought that taxes were the way we paid our bills. In a democracy we have elected representatives who spend money on our behalf on things like defense, security, wars, bridges, and health care benefits.-
