• Nugent Reveals Date of His Secret Service Interview In Epic Glenn Beck Interview: ‘We’re Going to Have a Little BBQ’

  April 18, 2012 at 6:11pm

  The proper outlet for anger against the President’s policies is the polling place, not intemperate rhetoric.
  One can be confident that if they thought they had the votes, legislators would proceed to impeachment charges. Trying and failing would only strengthen. the opposition.

  The most effective public action forn those who oppose the President’s policies is to get out the vote among like-minded people. This is critical; one can be confident that the opposition, especially labor unions, those living on the dole, and “community organizers” will be doing just that to try to keep him in office,

  In reply to momrules.

  As an observant Jew, I stand with Catholics on this. It is a matter of conscience.

• This Is the Handwritten Letter AZ Governor Jan Brewer Presented to Obama

  Given the chronic inability to control the Federal Budget, one is tempted to inquire what it takes to non-violently but legally effectively secede from the Union. The Affiliated States of the (South)west would be a good place to start: CA, AZ, NM, TX, NV, UT. We are a huge economy with extensive natural resources, smart and hard-working people, and the capability for the common defense.

  We might even add OR and WA–good natural resources, a sense of independence, and a strong aircraft industry.

  One reason this topic has legs is that stolen transport evokes deep unconscious fears. Sometimes it means you are afraid of impotence; sometimes a partner’s unfaithfulness, sometimes loss of income, and sometimes it simply means you don’t want your transport stolen. :-)

• NYC Police Throw Navy SEAL Into Psych Ward for Claiming…He’s a SEAL

  In reply to no1hd.

  I don’t buy all the anti-police frothing from those who likely had trouble with their fathers when growing up. The police risk their lives every day to protect us and are killed on duty regularly. A gun, especially in Sullivan Law NY will inspire justifiable hypervigilance by a police officer. Better safe than sorry; this is one case where one can take one’s pro-gun ideology and stuff it.

  As to the silliness about magazines, in pre-internet days I used to carry several with me regularly: Time, Harpers, The Atlantic, The Economist. They were usually reloaded weekly to be sure they were fresh.

• Black Economist Thomas Sowell: Herman Cain ‘One of Us’ More Than Obama

  October 21, 2011 at 6:49pm

  It’s pretty straightforward for non-ideologiues. Obama is a black-white hybrid; Cain is black. Just look at them. If “one of us” means Blackness, Obama isn’t even in the running.

  Obama has obviously “passed” in mainstream White society; Cain made no attempt so to do but stands on his own two feet. As such, he is far less likely to be co-opted by the bureaucracy, especially in the State Department with its legions of Arabists.

  Give me a practical man every day, against fancy words and empty actions.

  As we Jews say, Cain has his tuchis afn tisch, while Obama is a luftmensch.

• ‘Don’t Screw Around With Me’: Biden Defends ‘Rape’ Comments, Gets into Heated Exchange With Reporter

  October 21, 2011 at 2:39am

  In reply to NOBAMA201258.

  Some of the attempts to defend Biden are pathetic. Rape is a sex crime, not one of poverty. What‘s more the police can’t prevent most rape; only arrest the perpetrators if they’re identified after the fact. This guy is playing without a full deck.

  Perhaps his idea of full employment is a policeman behind every bush, and in every bedroom to “prevent” rapes.

• Coast Guard: Occupy Boston Protesters Spit On Female Officer

  In reply to koyettsu.

  Most of these kids had trouble getting along with their fathers when growing up and are now acting out. Too bad there isn’t some non-violent mass therapy that can help them.
