The American Spectator

The New Your Times/The Old Left Witch:

“All the socialist anti-American propaganda that we see fit to push.”

“Double-talk, fabrication, defamation, and subversion is our method; lethargic, self-indulgent, ignorant people our target.”

BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Re: G. Tracy Mehan, III’s Compassionate Conservatism for Detroit:

As a 22 year old physics major at UW-Madison, I obviously need not state who I voted for. With that being said, it seems as though the rise of the broken Republican party might come through a blind Democratic support without any scrutiny of failing companies. I’ve heard these things oscillate and when Republicans finally admit the shortcomings of Bush, along with promoting a reluctance to put me and my generation in an outrageously large debt, maybe it won’t just be “common knowledge (oscillations). Then again, I’m much too young to speak with too much certainty.

LOTS OF HOT AIR
Re: Ralph R. Reiland’s A UN-Approved Christmas Dinner:

I hate to be so crude, but the wind from the UN’s collective ass and that of a few dishonest scientists and a wannabe president has caused more global warming than all the food animals that have ever lived.

They have no sense of shame, not a bit of conscience or judgment, nothing but the urge to outdo each other with a more and more outlandish claim to get attention. The word joke is now spelled U-n-i-t-e-d N-a-t-i-o-n-s.

PARTNERS IN CRIME
Re: Eric Peters’s Are the Unions to Blame?:

Methinks the author meant “Chrysler” not “Ford” in his summation (second last paragraph). He could be right that the UAW doesn’t deserve all the blame, though the UAW hasn’t helped. But still, Wall Street gets trillions and Washington doesn’t bat an eye. Wall Street created the world-wide financial melt-down of 2008, not Detroit. Wall Street ushered in The Great Depression in 1929 too. Of course Wall Street has lots of help from The Federal Reserve and the geniuses who run things in Washington. Wall Street and the Fed dream up something for us to gag on every few years. It’s time we took a close look at Wall Street and the Fed, don’t you think?
