Oh, but doesn't that all pale compared to what took place in Florida in 2000? Just think how different history could have been and how much better off we might be now.

I love America, it's the best place to live on this planet. I'm retired military and I've traded bullets with, depending on how one views them and in keeping with PC speak, those I'll call the other guys. But since I am also a part of the middle class I'll be leaving to avoid paying the bills of Bo and company. I am a follower of Ralph Waldo Emerson and I wish everyone in a similar middle class position who is not so self reliant and will be stuck here the best of luck!
For Masako... I guess the same prognostication could apply to Dewey. Imagine how different things would have been.

MM: In an email sent to you after reading your utterly illogical, unsubstantiated drivel about how illegal aliens are responsible for the financial crisis, I asked you if you are mentally deficient. You didn't answer (no suprise there).

In doing some research I happened to see your post on ACORN/crackheads/inmates. This answered my question. If you had taken the time to actually read the evidence you provided, checked with the LV Sun and election officials the only conclusion possible is that you write only to incite others against blacks, poor, hispanics. In fact your evidence actually proves that ACORN, in the LV situation, was proactive in alerting authoriites, prompt and definitive in dealing with underperforming and fraudulent employees and that election officials chose to sit on their butts from 2007, when the guidelines were tightened, until mid July 2008. Your tax dollars at work.

If you believe in science (a real stretch here), I suggest that you and your kindrerd, mindless devotees facilitate an experiment in the transplantation of the human brain with a sheep. That way you will have all of the mental capacity you use and we'll have smarter sheep.

bills: if you're thinking of your wallet, check a rerun of the last debate. According to McCain you will now be purchasing the mortgages of countless fellow citizens. So courtesy of Bush and friends your wallet is getting thinner by the minute.

MM: I know you won't allow this post, you haven't got the ability to use logic to defend yourself, and you and your ilk certainly don't like to be challenged. I would suggest you reconsider spewing of inflammatory, hate baiting rhetoric. You are definitely not a caucasion, and there seems to be another groundswell of sentiment towards those who favour a white america. Just a suggestion.

Re: Masako

OK: half-true. We'd definitely be better off without the last 8 years. I saw a clip the other day. John Bolton arriving at the Florida recount facility, boldly proclaiming: I'm here to stop the recount!

But the inflammatory rhetoric isn't good. I was alive and well while the race riots burned across the country and in university when the Weather Underground was at it's peak. If I had to relive one of those events it wouldn't be the race riots.

Did you see the footage of Palin's rally today. No problem when people boo at Obama but the shout of "Kill him", isn't good.

I have no problem with productive debate that seeks to address governance. I'm having a big problem with inflammatory rhetoric that illuminates nothing. Read this post:

and ask yourself what is it's purpose. The expresses no thesis. Then read the responses.

We've had 8 years of "leadership" headed by a man who couldn't think his way out of a paper bag and his like-minded (ie mindless) acolytes are rising. They may not like his decisions, but they voted for him 2 times. I can see why McCain is not in favour of supporting education: it hasn't done much for him.

The ranks of those who disdain "intellectualism" (read: the ability to logically express an idea) is running rampant on the right. Every financial crisis we've had in the last 20 years is a direct result of the republican philosophy of: deregulation; they can regulate themselves.

Thank you for the reply, Bill and jvgr. Ms. Malkin represents a disease this society, and perhaps the world, first visibly took on during the Reagan years. He represented recovery from the strategy of winning Nixon couldn't quite perfect. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
That is, breaking the law to win. From Reagan on, it was walking the fine line and taking a sociopath's view of how to push the envelope to the max without being prosecutable. Lawyers have an expression: the law is what is boldly proposed and forcefully argued. The Republicans since Reagan have taken that phrase and substituted the word "reality" for the phrase "the law." It has worked well for them in the short term, and will continue to do so until it reaches the pyramid-scheme breaking point. Our economy has reached a similar breaking point now, and perhaps both are failing together as I write. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The casualty is us and ours. Everything we value is being flushed down the toilet. The U.S. Constitution, which frankly, I viewed as more holy than the bible when I was growing up, education, science, the environment, worldwide respect for the U.S., and now, the bottom line, wealth. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Ms. Malkin just writes what sells. End of story. She's trying to emulate her hero, Rush, who pioneered turning verbal refuse into dollars. Too bad for her there is only so much room in that niche, and the space has shrunk while the ranks of her competitors have grown. She does appear to have a nice bod. Maybe she can start selling that when she can't get any more for her soul.
