Softening Hard Times
Ben Stein does it again — too artfully? Also: Patience runs thin in second terms. Mobbed-up docks and myths. The Crocker wars continue. Plus much more.

Kudos to Ben Stein. Well done sir! Those who serve in our armed
forces, those who have given the ultimate for our country, and
their families are indeed forever heroes! Thank GOD they are there
for us! I truly hope that regardless of political affiliation or
negative feelings toward the war, that all free people do indeed
pray for these that save our sorry selves from tyranny and
oppression each and every day! Dear heroes, I pray daily for your
safety and health. THANK YOU!

Once again Ben breaks our hearts by getting to the heart of the
matter. Can the soldiers hear? Can they hear these words over the
sounds of battle? And can they hear these words over the outrageous
vocal contempt heaped upon them by those who aren’t fit to be their
water boys?

Wow. (Speechless pause.) Wow.
I sinfully covet a fraction of Ben Stein’s ability to convert my feelings of gratitude for those who serve into words. Once again, the power of his words of love for our country and those who defend her has taken away my breath.
