Disgraceful selfish adolescent - nonetheless a shame on her parents for neglecting he so as to allow her to ferment into such a bitter vinegar. Parents' neglect is more often the cause of the children's bad behavior than not. Perhaps we should consider legislation to forbid adolescents from speaking out in public fora? Of course, if such a provision were incorporated into the so called "Fairness Doctrine" legislation, much of the liberal airwaves would simply shut down for lack of content. God Bless America!

To be Black in America today is to be burdened by the stigmas of historical slavery, 'separate but equal' and a cultural heritage that originates in the many tribes of prehistoric Africa. Many American Blacks - Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Ervin "Magic" Johnson, Chris Gardner, and others less famous - have "overcome" the historical burden of their ethnic past and have embraced education and opportunity and have prospered in America. Sadly, the majority of Blacks in America - or so it appears in the media - have not. Instead, they have embraced the corrupt defiled teachings of frauds and charlatans like Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, and Al Sharpton who have taken the message of individual freedom espoused by the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King and have twisted it into a socialist dogma of 'social justice' and 'revolution'. Instead of embracing the 'equality of opportunity' the misguided America Blacks who subscribe to these self-interested teachings have embraced big government, entitlements, and violence as their "America". Their beliefs are the impetus behind the success of Barry Soetero and the powerful public and private sector unions who are advancing a socialist agenda of 'equality of outcome'. Their choice – to reject education and opportunity as being “Uncle Tom”, “Oreo”, or a “sellout” - and their unacceptable behavior – who can forget the classic “Obama Money” news clip – feed the negative stereotypes that American Blacks who seek to achieve the American dream must continue to surmount. They must be stopped. There is no polite way to say it otherwise. If they continue their destructive path unabated, then the United States of America will disappear from the map of history. All Americans who subscribe to the beliefs of freedom, justice, equality of opportunity, the pursuit (but not necessarily the achievement) of happiness, what used to be called the "American Way" - whether Black or White or Yellow or Brown - must stand and fight and defeat the people and groups who right now are plotting to bring the chaos that we watch in Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, and Egypt here to our shores. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. God Bless America!

Yes, the First Amendment defines and protects freedom of speech. However subsequently courts have delineated what does and does not receive such protections - the archetypical "yelling fire in a crowded theater" argument. There are torts - wrongs - to concern us here - slander and libel. Slander is spoken defamation, and libel is written defamation. This is common law, dating back to the Roman Empire. Defamation is exactly that - to defame or put down - someone or something. It may be illegal for me to call you a 'fat bastard' in public or print. My only defense is if you are in fact overweight and illegitimate. What this immature adolescent has done - effectively - is provide the evidence for his own conviction at trial. If the term "Nazi" is considered defamatory - and in our society where we already have put off limits the "N word" and the "F word" (pity - I always enjoyed "Money for Nothing") it likely would be considered so by a jury - this action by this adolescent is "actionable" by any competent attorney. I expect that Glenn Beck both knows and can afford one of those. How sad MSNBC has become - and to think that their cable operations both are located at and are partly owned by Microsoft. How the shareholders of a public company tolerate such behavior escapes me. God Bless America!

For what he has done during his lengthy service, his constituents must be and should be grateful. However in deference to his current state, his constituents now must and should seek to elect a new representative - hopefully one more disciplined and responsible in their comments. God Bless America!

Prepare yourselves, and your community, for a day when we no longer can sit and type and share ideas in the safety of our homes. Ask yourself, if the computers and telephone services were removed by the government, how would you organize your community, given the added element of marauding bands of armed youths? First and foremost, who is in your group - your church, your community? Who is welcome, and would you exclude people like your neighbor the raving socialist? Second, how would you communicate? Radio is an obvious answer - much overlooked by the Internet generation. Wide band transceivers are inexpensive, and the license required (yes, there's that) is easily obtained. Next, if you could communicate, and you decided that flight was a necessity, where would you go, and what would you take? How would you carry it? How would you get gas, water, supplies? How would you travel, by what route? What is your alternate? Could you go 'off road' if required? What is your destination? Do your friends and community also know that? Can you communicate it to them? When do you leave? And, once you arrive, how do you determine who is in charge, and who belongs? Is there a way to verify your friends and identify interlopers? How long would you have to subsist? Could you hunt? Fish? Could you survive? Yes, all of this is extreme, I admit. Hopefully, Americans never will see a day when they truly have to enter 'survival mode'. Yet every American who believes - truly believes - in self sufficiency will recognize the fact that preparing for such a scenario as I outline here - whether or not it ever comes to pass, and I pray that it never does - is the responsibility of the individual. Those who are prepared for opportunity will be able to take advantage of it. Those who are unprepared will be at the mercy of it. God Bless America!

How humbling it must be for this proud stalwart law-graduate-who-failed-the-bar-exam-multiple-times cum First Lady - with her philandering husband, her ill gotten gains, her guarded upstate New York mansion - to find that the rest of the world fails to pause at every single utterance. Somewhere in history, a gnat sneezes. As a Christian, I pity her - for all her trappings she has failed. Although I do confess that forgiveness for her many sins eludes me to this day. God Bless America!

Those who have the foresight, I urge you today to list those who you count among your community. Then discuss - in detail - exactly how you would defend yourselves in the event that the local law enforcement authorities become so overwhelmed by unrest that they cannot adequately protect you. How would you eat if a drive to the local supermarket was impossible thanks to marauding mobs of angry protesters? How would you protect your home against a determined attack by violent armed youth? Despite my own personal misgivings, I strongly urge those with firearms training and firearms to take action to educate your community on the benefits of the Second Amendment. While I hope and pray that our generation never see such dark days, Americans have learned - painfully - in the past two years that 'hope is not a strategy'. Those with the foresight to see the storm on the horizon must adhere to the philosophy, "plan for the worst, hope for the best". For those who lack the foresight, may God have mercy on you and your families. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. God Bless America!

Rather than using them as a straw man for vitriol, I would encourage those who have posted here to delete their posts and instead to have some small degree of pity for a human whose most notable contribution to America is that they were briefly tabloid fodder. How sad I would be to be Black in America today and to see how the children of the valiant civil rights marchers have amounted to so little. God Bless America!

Her role, and I mean this without any negative connotation, is best described as a "cheerleader" for conservative causes. Politically, her positions are untenable in a country that primarily leans towards a free and libertarian posture - in the vernacular, "do what you want as long as you do not hurt anyone else, and leave other people alone". Any person with competent reasoning faculties can and will defeat Barry Soetero in 2012. The question becomes, "which of the many candidates brings the maturity, experience, principles, and discipline necessary to implement policies that will impose the correct amount of austerity to reverse our economic decline while not unduly burdening the American people who currently rely on entitlements?" In summary, how does someone with no money continue to survive without resorting to desperation? American government is too big, and American politicians spend too much money. Period. I hope Sarah Palin continues to do exactly what she is doing currently, serving as a lightening rod to attract the hate and vitriol of the Liberal socialist democrats away from the Republicans and conservatives. The more Sarah Palin permits herself to serve in that capacity, the greater the chance that the communist liberal socialist agenda will be defeated by the united will of the American people. God Bless America. Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:48:51 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/the-smartest-president-ever-obama-confuses-iraq-and-afghanistan/#IDComment124374205
