I do have to agree that Mr. Tyrrell is the enemy of the week. It is clear that he points out Democrat radicals' shortcomings. He writes the unvarnished truth about the collectivists and their running dogs. (This is so much fun! I am looking for a way to use "lackeys" here too.)

I truly believe that in the very near future he will go so far as to pen a piece about the lackluster performance of the radical leftist Congress's failure. Failure to pass even a watered down version of those wondrous reforms that were last fall "required to end the Republican culture of corruption."

It is even possible that Mr. Tyrrell will viciously posit that those "honest" high-minded Democrat radicals, who we all know hate capitalism and freedom in all their manifested forms, just want a chance to, as the godfather said "dip their beaks" in the corruption.

Mr. Tyrrell, you should be ashamed!!!

In Friday's "Enemy of the Week" column there is the statement "There are going to be times when we get nauseous." I'm sure that what "we" meant to say was that there are going to be times when we get "nauseated."

I don't have many cringe-inducing pet peeves but this is surely one of them. Nauseous means sickening.
Nauseated means sick. Live your lives accordingly.

My God! What's going on at CBS (or what's in the water?). Mike Wallace must be approaching 100 years old (only exaggerating slightly)and he is still preoccupied with sex. Please tell Chris Wallace to hide the Viagra and start immediately searching for single sex retirement homes or better yet send him off to Texas to live with Dan Rather and let them dream of better days or at least their glory years when there was no alternative media to note their whoppers.

About the second paragraph's "Are you a Christian?" she asks us to ask him. "If so, what would Jesus say about 'Judge not that thou shall be judged'"?

The scripture itself is from Matthew 1: Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you use, it shall be measured unto you.

In a nutshell, this means judge fairly and know the facts, for so will God judge you. The best reply when someone quotes "that" verse would be to say "read the next verse." Liberals especially want no one to judge them, so that verse is their first line of protection, no matter how thin.

We as Christians are commanded to judge correctly....

OOPS! Paris Clinton? Que?

I think you were imagining Paris Hilton dressed in a Freudian slip; I hope it wasn't Hillary Clinton!
