The Great Miscommunicator

Obama said what? Up from atheism. Libertarians and kiddie porn. Plus more.

(Page 3 of 13)

SIMPLY SAINTLY br> Re: Ben Stein's Saints in Armor : /p> p>All one can say to Mr. Stein's column is "Amen." A veteran has been one who wrote a check payable to his country for any amount, up to and including his life. br> -- Jim Karr br> Blue Springs, Missouri /p>

Great article. Stein said:

"How about everyone who stands between the weak, pitiful good people and the strong, vicious thugs who want to kill us, rape our wives, take what we have? How about all of them getting some credit once in a while? How about thanking the police once in a blue moon instead of damning them?"

p>That is something that needs to be said often. I'm glad he said it. That doesn't ring as well as "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." But I think "Saints in Armor" covers the subject better. br> -- Ben Snyder
