Cross Purposes

(Page 3 of 7)

Finally, we are going from "innocent until proven guilty" to "guilty until properly identified." This is not the American so many have sacrificed for. I had thought the Republicans would be more respectful of our heritage.

When the REAL ID passed into law, my first thought was, "The Republicans are betraying us."

I still feel that way.
-- John Rush
Tennessee

The more I read about Maine, the more Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins begin to make sense. But I will never understand how these two are elected as Republicans. The state of Maine is as close to outright 1960's socialism as New York, California and soon Arizona.

As a frequent traveler for business, I have no problem with stringent screening and identification for EVERYONE. I can't wait till I can apply for the TSA-ID card. The Islamic jihadis are out there testing, testing, testing. If standardized drivers' licenses help, do it. Sign me...

Screen-Us-More!

MIS-FIT
Re: Hal G.P. Colebatch's Mega Beasts and Brutes:

The concept of the Noble Savage is pretty much dead, save for a few eccentrics with limited political power. It has certainly been abandoned by academia. Thus, the "Among the Intellectualoids" space, typically devoted to perceived follies of the liberal intelligentsia, would have been better served by another topic.

The piece does, however, underscore the overarching human capacity to radically alter and disrupt ecosystems in a relatively short span of time. I'm impressed -- this is not something conservatives usually like to talk about!

NONBINDING LETTERS
Re: Enemy Central's A Show of Resolve:

What? EOW is back? No fair springing it on us! I hereby nominate repeatedly and in perpetuity, that thoughtful, tortured, prima dona NINO (Nebraskan in Name Only) Senator Chuck Hagel. May he see the handwriting on the wall and run for higher office.
-- Andrew Macfadyen, M.D.
Omaha, Nebraska

And people say conservatives have no sense of humor! This was riot. The wonderful juxtaposition of the fluffy, bumbling, incompetent Al Gore, with the dark, dangerous connotation of enemy is a masterpiece of prose.

When I think of Al (The Price of Tennessee) Gore, I see my daughter's wonderful yellow Labrador. Not a brain in his head, all feather fur, a vacuous smile, shining happy eyes, and a wonderfully endearing wagging tail, which starts moving just behind his ears. All combine to send the simple message " tell me which way to jump and I will, I will, I will do it!"

My eyes will never dry.
