Bush didn't have that information whe he made those statements.

"They can't prohibit feeding yourself... even in the fifth grade..." Pull a ziplock bag out of your pocket and incur the wrath of the food police. This whole thing gives me the chills.

Was she a huckster of a true believer? I'm tending to agree with you, especially since you would expect more loyalty from a zealot. Not that she wasn't enamored, but with his politics, not his preeminence. You're right. They deserve each other.

Several groveling, weeping women were sitting around a room, waiting to see if they would be "picked" by some exalted creep. It was disgusting. I'm usually pretty self-controlled but I wanted to slap them! I haven't watched it since, but apparently it has just been downhill from there.

And I wonder if he would repudiate your implication that that "homage and tribute" to Israel caused the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Speaking up for Israel in the face of a systemic campaign of vicious lies isn't "unbridled homage and tribute." It is simple human decency.

It is because of courageous people like her in our own history that we enjoy a free society and can speak out without fear of imprisonment or ruinous fines. The least we can do is honor her sacrifice in defending freedom by making sure that her story is told. Thank you for doing that.

If only the left could channel all that fear and hatred away from Palin and toward our true enemies we would be much more secure as a nation.

Of course nobody knows about them. The leftists in the mainstream media control the flow of information to the masses prefer the McCarthy image of a paranoid character assassin who was seeing imaginary commies behind every tree and rock. The ironice thing is that the mainstream media routinely rallies for actual paranoid witch-hunters who want to dismantle our economy or "we'll all die" -- like Al Gore.

When you actually read some of his statements about religion it really hits you how the history is twisted. The revisionist lie today is that he could have been the founder of the ACLU and blessed everything that they do. However, separation of church and state just means no state religion, no new radical idea in America at his time. It was what our forebears came to America for and one of the main reasons we separated from the British for (we are always taught it was over taxes when that was like their 27th reason). I wonder what the ACLU would say to Jefferson allocating federal funds for missionaries and going to church in the capitol building! That he was a radical right wing theocrat.

It is just willfull blindness to deny our religious heritage, because it is etched in stone. The separation of church and state crusaders invoke Thomas Jefferson as some sort of a patron saint for atheism or something. I always wonder if they've they even BEEN to the Jefferson Memorial?

Their roots are deep red, and yet they've been on a witch-hunt for decades that makes McCarthy look like Ghandi -- using the First Amendment as their club! Madison and Hamilton would be appalled.

I'm going to keep this handy in case anybody ever asks for a good example of typical leftist debate techniques. Your children never need parental guidance because they are "far left" and therefore always apply common sense and compassion to every situation? Wow! What else do they do? The New York Times crossword puzzle in pen? But what's priceless is that you -- with such outrageous braggadocio - then pronounce some pretty solid and practical parenting advice "improbable, fantastic, and idiotic." I suggest you look in a mirror and possibly take a second look at your children, because if they're never expressed disappointment or frustration at losing a game I'd be a little concerned. Not that it wouldn't be a good thing if they manage to grow up without parroting their mother's method of dealing with conflict -- disgusting insults at another woman's children.

In my opinion she isn't insane, she is just a little more honest and candid than some of her ilk.

At least Ironside's generation had that advantage. If I were her I wouldn't be bragging about what she hath wrought.

Behind one children are subjected to tortures that would rival the most vicious pagan infanticide cults in history. Behind the other children are subjected to the most advanced and vigilant nurturing and surveillance ever known to man. Door number one or door number two. It's all a matter of "choice."

After all, who can forget the Von Trap children bumping and grinding to "Do Re Mi" in Sound of Music? No, the author hits it dead on. This is economic exploitation at its ugliest. Only instead of fedoras and gold chains, these pimps drive Mercedes and send their kids to finishing school. I am disgusted by middle-aged opportunists in the entertainment business who have discovered that tempting youngsters with tantalizing poison -- and influencing them to make catastrophic and far-reaching life choices -- is their ticket to a beach house in Malibu and fat investment portfolio. Parents need to educate their children about these creeps just like they would a heroin pusher lurking outside of their school, or an ingratiating stranger in the park who offers them candy if they will get in his car.

I don't know cheer or something! Please don't lose your passion... we need you! Keep it up, and you may unseat La Coulter as my favorite columnist, and that's saying a lot!
