I would simply ask Mr. Wehner if he's considered that the times bring forth the man? If the GOP base believed that its concerns were actually being addressed, and its so-called 'representatives' were actually acting in their voters' best interests, there would be no need for a Horatius, whether by the name of Cruz or any other. And as for Mr. Wehner's condescending attitude toward the Tea party -- well, he knows what he can do with that..

So in the sense that naifs like Carter think NKor is a victim of big bad America -- Pyongyang is, indeed, an "ally".

There needs to be a visible sign -- many such signs -- that the House Republican leadership is paying attention to what the People are saying. They are about to deliver to the GOP a victory the party couldn't even begin to imagine two years ago. The overwhelming reason this will happen is expanded government and federal spending that rips the Constitution, the economy, and the freedom of millions. Hear the words of Rep. Mike Pence" “There can be no compromise that allows more borrowing, more spending, more deficits and more debt. There can be no compromise that allows a tax increase on any American. There can be no compromise on defending the cherished values of the American people. There can be no compromise that leads to more taxpayer-funded bailouts. There can be no compromise on stopping their government takeover of health care. And if I didn’t make myself clear, no compromise! House Republicans will not rest until we repeal ObamaCare lock, stock and barrel.” Woe to any Republican who goes to Capitol Hill with any other plan in mind!

I was a reporter in Phiadelphia in the 70's when McGinnis cut his teeth -- or should I say, sharpened his knives -- at the Philly Daily News. He was known then as a hatchet man who would do anything to get an interview even if the subject wanted nothing to do with him, and would say anything to sell a book or push a column. But since he wasn't a reporter, but a columnist, he could write any drivel he wanted. He wrote a lot of that. And got away with it. What is it they used to say about computers? "garbage in, garbage out". That's McGinnis.

This is the complete mindset of most Democrats and too many Republicans who've been raised, educated, brainwashed and ingested with the idea that We The People are too stupid to govern ourselves. This has been going on for two or three generations, and we've let it happen. We will not change it overnight. It will take a long, hard fight to stop or reverse this mess. Do we have the guts for the long haul with the inevitable setbacks? I wonder.

Far different (surprise?) from what Kelly in the Bergen Record, and other so-called journalists reported. How about this thought: Send a freight car-load of pork rinds to Ms Geller to scatter at the mosque site next time they rally. Perhaps that would quash the plans of these haters-of-the-West. Any thoughts?

And whatever few commonalities may be found in the Bible and the Koran is really not relevant because the differences are stark and real.

Blood's hit piece, and those certain to follow against Angle and other conservative candidates, will sway those who substitute others' opinions and talking points for their own critical thinking.

To argue otherwise is either extreme naivety, or trying to trash the soldiers in question. I venture to suggest that, if the journalists had been embedded with US troops, and killed by terrorists, the left would be cheering. Those who criticize the soldiers do so because they have no clue about the pressures of combat, the intensity, and the nano-seconds' time frame in which to make a decision that affects a single trooper or his unit. It's the same with cops coming into a life-threatening situation with mere seconds or less to make a shoot-no shoot decision. I'm sure the critics here would rather see US soldiers killed than so-called journalists stupid enough to hang out with terrorist gunmen.
