Hail King Henry

Adopt his plan -- or else! Reiland flunks Barack. Joe Biden, patriot. George Soros, suspect. Quin Hillyer regains Ryder Cup. Plus more.

(Page 6 of 11)

We see from this essay that Bombastic Joe gives the almost incredible sum of $995.00 a year to charity! If you haven't done the math -- that's about .00311% of his income. It is interesting...

Joe says we must have higher taxes so we can give that to the poor. That's patriotic (I see it as an "otic" but idiotic.) says America's last Always Angry Man. I come from Angry Joe's religious denomination and nowhere in my theology is written or spoken so far as I know that we are to give money to the government to distribute to the poor. It says, Oh Vituperative One, that we are to give of ourselves -- time and treasure -- to lift the poor. No middle man, just thee and me. And Jeering Joe, I took in one-third of what you did and gave to charity six times what you did in actual American dollars.

This lack of service and charity is the hallmark of Democrats. They serve the country only in ways that enrich them. Sacrificial service is not something they embrace. I recall Donna Shalala's exultant cry of relief: "Thankfully we did not send our best and brightest to Vietnam."

p>Sad to think they once again might be running the entire government. Time to start digging: bury your money, guns, and bibles. Democrats are back in town. br> -- Jay Molyneaux br> Denver, North Carolina /p>

I was appalled to hear Joe Biden, Obama's VP, in Ohio say that he supports clean coal for China, but not for the United States.

"No coal plants here in America," he said. "Build them, if they're going to build them, over there. Make them clean."

"We're not supporting clean coal," he said of himself and Obama.

My father is a coal miner, my grand father was a coal miner, my great grand father was a coal miner. What is wrong with the Democrat party today? I'm voting straight Republican this year. Obama/Biden disgusts me.

Don Parnell writes that "anti-English vitriol seemed to donimate radio waves" on one occasion when he turned in to BBC Radio Scotland. The BBC observes strict standards would not allow the kind of thing that he describes. I would also point out that Rob Johnston's letter did not deny that there is a certain amount of Anglophobia in Scottish society: he merely pointed out that such prejudice is not prevalent and that a certain amount of anti-Scottish sentiment exists in England. I am an Englishman who has lived in Scotland for the last 14 years and I can assure Mr. Parnell that if he has "friends in Scotland who have a common hatred of England", then he should chose his friends more carefully. The propagators of xenophobic hatred are a small idiot minority on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish Border. Most people in Britain are not like that.

Re: Don Parnell’s letter (under “I Say, My Dear Fellow” in Reader Mail’s ‘Hail King Henry’, in which he takes issue with Rob Johnston’s letter (under “Finding Scotland” in Reader Mail’s ‘Panic City’).
As an American citizen who has lived for a number of years in England, I agree with Chris Moraghan’s remarks on this matter.
First off, (with all due respect to Mr. Parnell) I cannot help but think that Mr. Johnson (as a Scotsman who lived in England) is better qualified to judge the extent of anti-Scottish prejudice in England than a visiting American: especially since he appears to have been in direct receipt of more than a little of it himself.
Second thing. Mr. Parnell seems to equate “talk of Scottish secession” with Anglophobia. Does this mean he reckons anyone who doesn’t want their country to be ruled by England necessarily hates the English people? Where does that analysis leave George Washington and Mahatma Gandhi? Does Mr. Parnell think the U.S.A. should return to English rule? I know what most Americans would say to that proposition – and it would not be fit to print! But does that really make us England-hating racists?
