Am I the only person who noticed this was Smith Corona? It was a typewriter company. Hello. The people who put it out of business were not employees of Bain Capital. Apple Computer, Microsoft, IBM, Compaq, Dell and others who popularized the personal computer put Smith Corona out of business. Sort of like digital cameras and Polaroid. In the free enterprise system its adapt or die. Isn't it a good thing to let companies that produce products that nobody wants die? We see it over and over again. Anybody remember Wang? How about Underwood and Singer?

One suggestion you left off. "Share on Facebook" sharing conservative comments and news stories on your Facebook account does 2 things. It reinforces other people who are conservative and gives them easy access to specific information to back up their conservative beliefs. It provides information for those independents and liberals who are curious or openminded enough to look now and than at your links. So Share on Facebook is a great way to spread informations.

Reading this article reminded me of why many fundamentalist Christians are supporters of Israel. I am not a fundamentalist but I have read the Old Testament (aka The Torah and the Tanakh). Cleanse Jews from Judea? From Samaria? These areas are, to paraphrase Rupert Brooke, their own , their native land. We who have not only read the Bible stories, but also know that archeological discoveries have supported the essential veracity of some of those stories ( i.e . towns and forts have been located with the same names) What kind of self destructive mental illness do these liberal "Jews" have that they want to destroy their own history? Those of us who have simply read and learned a little about the Bible know that these stories were written down and circulated before Muhammad was ever born. These leftists are not merely anti-Semitic, they are deniers of history who are funded by that Nazi collaborater, George Soros.

So far, Redbadge,you are the only person advocating the suppression of first amendment rights and violence. As is so typical these days, even your little video doesn't prove your point. So these moveon people don't like counter demonstrations? How many counterdemonstrations has the left called? What about what they did in Wisconsin where it became necessary for a Democrat legislator to protect a Republican legislator from actual physical aggression when the latter tried to enter the state building. It is you who wants to shut down Fox, Breitbart and Geller. It is you that threatens to "stomp on" people who disagree with you. If you want to see a person who is a tyrannical bully, look in the mirror.

Colonel West is glad to debate, I'm sure. The point of his e-mail was that waiting until he left the floor to call him out personally is not a debate. It's an attack behind someone's back. If she had said it while he was there, he could have responded. She waited until he could not respond because he wasn't on the floor. He sent her a private e-mail which SHE chose to make public and then accused him of sexual harassment. It looks to me like the person who can't take the heat is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She made false allegations against him when he couldn't respond right away. Typical Democrat tactics. What a bunch of low lifes my former party have become.

This wasn't an ad for the movie. It was a movie listing in the Los Angeles Times for that theater. In other words, if you were looking to see what is playing at the AMC at The Block in Orange, you would look there. to call this an ad for the movie is a stretch. The ad, if any, is placed by the theater not by the promoters of the movie. The promoters of the movie knew nothing about this supposedly planned showing of the movie. HOWEVER and I repeat, I, who actually bought 3 tickets to see the movie, went online to the theater's website where you can actually buy a ticket and did not see it listed there EVEN THE AFTERNOON BEFORE. I don't buy the LA times because it is a left wing propaganda rag not a newspaper. I get my news online. How is that people who were actually involved in promoting the movie never saw the listing. I hasten to add that this theater does not normally have 12:45 AM showings on a Friday morning. That was apparently for Harry Potter. And, by the way, the Harry Potter midnight opening was widely advertised. And by advertised I mean a heck of lot more than just listing it in the newspaper. People my niece's age (22) rarely read newspapers. They get their information off the net just as I do. My niece and her friends knew about it and bought their tickets well in advance just as I bought two of my 3 Undefeated tickets well in advance. Not just I, but many other people can testify that the 12:45 or 12:10 or whatever midnight showing of the Undefeated was not listed online at the AMC website even the day before.

Again-- what ad? My understanding is that there was no paid advertising for the movie in any newspapers. I don't read the LA Times so I wouldn't have seen it if it ran. But I did go to the website for AMC theaters to buy tickets and I did NOT see a listing of a 12:10 AM showing. Period. NONE. The first showing was listed at 10:15 AM. That was on Thursday. If there was a 12:15 AM showing for the undefeated on Friday, you would think it would have been listed. There was no such showing listed. If you have a copy of an ad that lists a showing at 12:15 or any time before10:15 AM on July 15, I would be very interested to see it. And your psychobabble does not intimidate me nor other Palin supporters. I have yet to talk to a Palin supporter who supports her for any other reason than the positions she takes and her history of fighting for what she believes in. I don't know a single Palin supporter who "worships" her. We support Palin because she supports the same positions that we support. I think that is political. I think that is rational. WE are defensive because she is constantly and irrationally attacked, often in vile and obscene ways. We have made up our minds that we will stand by those who stand by us and we will not tolerate the lies and misrepresentations about her and her record that are constant. We know that whoever is nominated to run against Obama will be the target of such slanders. We have seen it over and over again and we have decided not to put up with it anymore. Its just that simple. Your insinuations that Palin supporters are mentally unbalanced are like those people who talk about the horror of dropping the atomic bomb on Japan while conveniently omitting any discussion of World War II. Well, gee golly, dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki does seem like a very horrible thing to do. But when you put it in the context of a nation at war preparing to lose a million men in the proposed invasion of Japan, after a long and deadly war where the Japanese were still unwilling to acknowledge defeat, well, a little more difficult to condemn. When the MSM and conservative elites stop their constant petty and often lying attacks on Palin we will stop defending her.

Well, the funny thing is, as I said before, I bought a ticket online the day before and the 12:10 or whenever it was showing, was NOT listed. Period. No one but Conor Friedsdorf appears to have seen it. 12:10 AM showings on weeknights are not normal for ANY movies except Harry Potter openings. My niece is a big Harry Potter fan and has been at other midnight openings including this one. Some other blockbuster movies have used the same opening, but a documentary? Nevertheless, it wasn't listed when I went to buy a ticket the daybefore. So, I think that it is permissible to ask, why was it run when it wasn't advertised or even listed on the website for buying tickets? But my real point is that, while claiming that Sarah fans can't take the heat, it is people like you who can't take the heat. Someone disagrees with you and you get all indignant. Sorry, the people with the thin skin are the ones who think that Palin has no right to defend herself and Palin supporters have no right to defend her. Also, I did read the article.

So, some poor hapless reviewer from the New York Post "suffered" blowback from the movie's producers. No one is "allowed" to disagree with Palin. Is this the new meme? If Palin supporters call out misrepresentations, unfair criticisms and downright lies, they are somehow unable to deal with criticism? No, we don't think Sarah is perfect. We think there has been plenty of published criticism of Sarah and it is time for the other side to be heard. The person who doesn't like being called out is Conor Freidsdorf. What did anyone say about him? That he misrepresented the opening? Hey. It's true. Deal with it. Nobody who actually wanted to see the movie, other than Conor was even told about the showing. I know. I went on the website less than 8 hours before that showing to buy a ticket and that showing wasn't listed. I might have attended if I had known about it. The people who can't stand criticism, who seem to think that disagreement is a violation of their first amendment rights, are the Palin critics.

We should also remember that when conservatives, like Newt Gingrich, tried to set up tax exempt educational organizations, the left went after them and pretty much won. They should very much not be allowed to continue to get away with this.
