D-Disrespectful

Obama snubs the greatest generation. Governors gone wild. The Worst President. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 4)

NOT AN ANOMALY
Re: Quin Hillyer's They Shoot Cats, Don't They:

Great article. Over the years I wondered what kind of Speaker Bob Livingston would have been. This article shows him to be smart, incisive, determined and much more intelligent than his adversaries. 

 Too bad an indiscretion did him in...but then I guess that incident shows his arrogance.

Not sure what Mr. Santore's point was in his 4th paragraph: "Slam dunk there!"
Given the humungous lack of tolerance for others' opinions on these pages, the veritable screaming and name-calling by those all-knowing souls when the word (gasp) "choice" is used, no telling.
God knows, I'm sure not "for" abortion, but have become very intolerant of intolerance when that word "choice" is criticized. It's almost a form of fascism, or maybe censorship - - believe as we of the insufferable hard-right "social" conservatives do, or else, a pox upon thee...
As noted before, the uber-sanctimonious attitudes certainly aren't very "Christianlike."
Anyway -- on a different topic, Mr. Homerick sure wasn't alone: Dubya was a disaster, rivaling Jimmy Carter as the most inept of All-Time; but I fear that the Narcissist-in-Chief and his Merry Marxists in congress will accelerate the demise of this once-great country as it completes the job of flushing itself down the crapper.

I am confident that history will prove Mr. Homerick wrong. It is the current resident of the White House who will outshine Jimmy Carter as the absolute worst president ever...ever!

Richard Baker| 5.21.09 @ 1:42PM

Served in the Army during the Carter administration and was embarrassed for my country when deployed overseas. Allied military would ask me what was going on in Washington and as a serving NCO I'd say that I supported my Commander-in Chief. Remember, Jack Singlaub was retired for publicly disagreeing with the Carter plan to remove ourselves from Asia.
Obama seems to plan to make Jimmy Carter appear to be a Rock of Gibraltar, in comparison. God help the United States of America from incompetence at 1600 Pennsylvania.

To Judy Beumler, concerning Bob Livingston. Having watched the man work at such close range for so many years, I can assure you he would have made an excellent speaker. Your judgment on that issue is right on target. As for his "indiscretion," it showed a weakness, surely -- but not an arrogance. The wonderful thing about Bob Livingston is that his ego never grew outsized. When there is time and the proper forum, I can tell all sorts of great stories that show a truly endearing lack of egotism or arrogance. Congress needs more like him today: smart, principled, savvy (a different thing from smart), and tough as nails without ever losing decency and kindness.

When are we just going to let this abortion issue go? Why does government feel the need to interfere in a woman's rights? Unborn children have no rights. If a woman wants to have an abortion, that's 1000% better than having an unwanted child grow up in the world.
