		<description>To misanthropicus: Belated thanks for &lt;a href=&quot;http://gawker.com/5394388/the-old-i-work-for-jon-corzine-excuse-wont-get-you-out-of-ecstasy-possession-arrest-bro&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;proving my point&lt;/a&gt;. I&#039;ve always contended that the average blog site, with comment threads like this one, is on par as a news source with a bunch of random guys in a bar. 

Actually I go back and forth about how hard should I be on people being so misguided and misinformed these days. People who get their info primarily from BS outlets like Fox News and the Free Republic deserve a good spanking for their sorry ignorance. But what about things like Drudge? I have some libertarian friends who use that as their main Internet stopping point for news. While I consider it much better as a news source than Fox because it aggregates so many legitimate news sources, it still massages the news towards a conservative/right wing viewpoint in its choice of stories to highlight. So if one tends to just quick scan it, the net effect would be again be more disinformation, but more subtle than what you would get from Fox. So are my libertarian friends being deliberately dense like Fox News watchers, or are they simply going to site that has a lot of good news links and that which feature stories that reflect their viewpoints?</description>

		<description>Man, Obama was great tonight on &quot;v.&quot; He played the Visitor lead role of Anna perfectly.  I did not know a man could look so natural in high heels and &quot;her&quot; Universal Health Care plan was brilliant...errr, what&#039;s that?  Really?  Fiction, huh?  Seriously, that was not a docudrama?  Huh, what do you know....</description>

		<description>Love you articles! So logically written always with enough substantiation. I think the reason the libs hate SP is that she utterly repudiates the feminist platform. She represents a woman who worked her way from PTA mom to Governor all the while maintaining her marriage, family and faith. The family showed its steadfast adherence to their faith by standing by their daughter and supporting her as she  had a baby at such a tender young age.  (as a mom of two teens/adults may I never be in that place!) THe liberals would have loved her if she were not conservative, were a single mom and made sure that both she and her daughter had terminated their pregnancies.</description>

		<description>Florida @ 21

&quot;This country was built by white and theist conservatives and destroyed by liberal atheist Jews.&quot;

Go poking around in a pile of rubble, you find a Jew beneath it, I guess, like liberal atheist Eric Alterman, for instance, who&#039;d be the first to tell you: &quot;It&#039;s those no-good dual-loyalty Jew neocons who did it, not me!&quot; Jewish destroyers come in all stripes, it seems.

Listen up, everybody! Things are bad enough as it is. Let us  Jews off the hook for a change, how about it?</description>

		<description>The good Professors&#039; references to Orwell may be understated.  This administration is prepared to go to extreme lengths to force its perpetual oligarchic regime (envisioned as a global alliance of media, academia, trade-unions, select mega-corporations and assorted elite political cliques) upon the U.S., the sole remaining bastion of freedom in the world.

They are the masters of the Big Lie.  They live empty lives (cannot find joy in life), and so are filled with hate.  They seek near-absolute power (ceding only what they deem unimportant) in order to impose that hate on the world itself.  Ultimately (and unconsciously) they hope to transcend death by controling life, and so are on a fool&#039;s errand.  An unpredictable universe will always remain one step ahead of their childish visions.  But they can do a lot of damage in the meantime...

Massive resistance is what is needed.  Every day, keep the pressure on in every legal way you can imagine (there are many), yet always retain the moral high ground.  It will cause them to veer from their playbook and slow them down.  By 2012 the mess they have created will be obvious for all to see.  That is when our work really begins.</description>

		<description>They misappropriate the symbols of our traditions, using them as props to agitate for the remaking of what they represent; they revise our history and assert history is on their side; they chant their shibboleths about utopian fairness but compose inscrutable new bills designed to transfer initiative from competitive markets to their centralized command and control state; they pledge their support to our soldiers, but impugn what those soldiers trained for combat do; they community organize the promotion of every cause but that for individual freedom.

How long can America endure so much confusion? Which will falter first? The bulwark of our constitution and Western traditions or the brutish assault led by our historic first Islamic apostate president?

Are these End Times for our way of life? Will the spectre of communism subdue the spirit of our heritage, free markets, private property, and personal accountability?

Or will the delirium of debt higher than any tax could ever reach, of dictating what we do when, where, and how, soon end by confining these would-be despots to a short term in office, with their leader retreating into his last refuge, pacing from wing to wing in his Hall of Mirrors, commanding nothing more than the self-serving servility of his retinue, and mumbling incessantly &quot;speak truth to power, speak truth to power…&quot;?</description>

		<description>A trifle, but why include India in the &quot;Which thug abroad will first draw the sword?&quot; paragraph?  Surely India has its faults, but thuggery isn&#039;t one of them in light of the heinous neighbors with which it is surrounded.  China and Pakistan are two vile thug nations which challenge and provoke a very benign India endlessly.</description>

		<description>I just borrowed Gary Wolf&#039;s time machine (AWOL civilization) and took a jaunt to 2012.

Here&#039;s what I found:

An inflation rate of 25%, unemployment rate of 22%, food riots, power shortages, and martial law.

On the up side, all drugs are now legal, and if you make less than the poverty wage of $65,000/year, they&#039;re free, too.</description>
