Looks like Jr. gave that a new twist by picking up apples off trees he shouldn't have shook.

I suppose you would have approved if she had written that Fortuyn was simply "killed by a man for political reasons?" How PC of you.

Just as it is impossible to accurately measure the physical-wave characteristics of a sub-atomic particle, O' is also neither here nor there. This explains why he is as slippery as a thousand eels and can morph into whatever form the context requires. In other words, he was born to be a politician.

The Right takes him on, but is routinely ignored by his Koolaid drinkers who run the nation's elite propaganda machinery. Insulated by this wall of sycophants and the security of his last term, O' is immune to critics of his vacations. Future historians will eventually get the story of O' right--long after his DNA addled worshipers are taking their dirt naps.

He is a political flim-flam man whose decisions are made in accordance with his political instincts. He doesn't need to worry about public perceptions, because the press will back him no matter what he does. For questions about every lie, distortion, corruption, and hypocrisy that he commits, he and his acolytes simply dig into their inexhaustible warehouse of spin and shovel it out into the public arena. It is no different than what a manure spreader does for a cow pasture.

Plus, the older we get the more sentimental we are likely to become. Bennett has reached that stage in life such that it would be best if he stayed out of the limelight and concentrated on his memoirs; or else he will end up a pathetic figure of the sort that Jimmy Carter has become.

Distort, and Distract. Dems have perfected the art of the instant whopper. With the ability to fabricate lies in an instant, Dems are always one whopper ahead of the truth-seekers. Just as soon as you think you have one of them cornered, they invent a tangled web of interconnecting whoppers, and then they leave while everyone is sorting out what they said. It is believed that "Slick Willy" is behind this, conducting Whoppers-on-the-Run grad classes in in some underground warehouse.

An imaginative author can dress up the narrative in an attempt to make it all look fresh, but it is the exact same story as it has always been, which is inevitably to blame it on teachers and the schools in general. I don't recall one publicly distributed argument that has placed blame on the students themselves, but they play a central role in the problem. It is all about cultural attitudes. In any case, nothing has changed regarding these issues and the way in which they are discussed. It's called "spinning your clutch."

Without safeguards imposed by conservatives, liberals will destroy any government with their profligate spending addiction. They are the perfect representatives for what happens when blind obeisance to ideology trumps rational thought.

It is well documented by real scholars who have spent years researching and writing about Islam that patience and deception will achieve for Islamists what war cannot. Such practices are not only the norm for an organization like the MB, it is a lifestyle so natural they rarely speak about it, and then one day they achieve their goal. Marsi's actions are but more steps toward total control. Whether of not the MB can pull it off over the long run is an outcome that depends on the strength of secular resistance.

No one should be forced to support an organization that uses its dues to support politicians or causes that a member does not agree with. In any case, Trumka is the perfect poster fatso for the body of his organization. Somehow I just can't take seriously a guy who looks like an enormous hamster. As for Hoffa, all his "war" talk is just so he won't wind up in an oil barrel somewhere near his dad.

How can we stop this entitlement train wreck when it has morphed into a powerful voting block which seeks little beyond voting for whomever feeds it? And try as you might to dampen its ferocious hunger, it grows exponentially like a metastasizing blob from hell. What I see is the paring of the country into political and cultural enclaves of the like-minded. Those who treasure conservative values of independence, self-reliance. and hard work will remove to places where such cultural values are ascendant, and there they will energize and shape local governments in accordance with their values. The only alternative for the long-term survival of conservatism is for the Left to somehow become rational and realize that sustaining an entitlement society is like paying the mortgage for a retirement hut in the third world. But, for the emotive Left, that onion may never be peeled.
