By the way, what genuinely alarms me is how Obama and his like-mindeds respond like cornered animals.

Presently, I’m only slightly less worried that they have a plan “to pull the plug on grandma”—of course, they have, in some fashion, just as they continue to promote plug-pulling on the unborn—than I am about them harming her and her relatives or friends in a townhall meeting, or in streets nearby, to provoke a crisis situation they will exploit to the public’s detriment.

OK, Mr. President, I give up. You're right, 2 plus 2 DOES equal 5. Now, could you please turn off that damn bright light. It's hurting my eyes, and my retinas are not covered under YOUR new and improved healthcare plan.

SAME STATE, SAME PERSON
Re: Nicole Russell's On the Road with Tim Pawlenty:

Tim Franken Pawlenty is not electable. Just the mention of his name brings the fat head of Al Franken to mind. If Franken Pawlenty is not even bright enough to realize he can never be presidential material he really is in a fog. He will never be able to separate himself from Al Franken

BRINGING DOWN THE ENTIRE SHIP
Re: George Neumayr's Sanford and Sun:

It is tragic that "talking heads" have to be disingenuous in their public discussions of heath care reform. Nobody is well served by this behavior and let's not forget the U.S. is home to ALL of us. Without resolving the issue of "end of life" care, the current effort to make health care more efficient will make no difference. Why: because approximately 2 out of every 3 dollars spent on health care are spent in the last 90 days of a person's life, i.e. "end of life care." Hopefully this explanation brings the picture more into focus. Why would anyone, who lives here, intentionally want to bankrupt this great country? That is the question you must ask yourself.

SHUT THEM UP IN 2010
Re: Peter Ferrara's Shut Up, America!:

I used to be a union member but no more will I stand with them. They went against all that America stands for. I have actually been involved in union for many years serving as a Chief steward and Vice president of a local, I have never ever called on my people to stop a meeting nor would I. I will stand up for them to say what they desire as to the constitution and the unions be damned. This president is the most dangerous one we have ever had, he needs to be impeached. Why can't we do that in 2010 when we flood the House with Republicans? That is if Acorn doesn't throw the election for Obama. The communists, and we need to call them what they are, have taken over and we need to fight to get our country back.

AND MORE BEN AND BEVERLY
Re: Reader letters under "Projecting" and "Fed Up and Determined" in Reader Mail's Not Taking It Anymore:

Ben Stein is a class act. Please let him know that there are many who agree with his positions and enjoy his movies. I took my whole family to see Expelled. My 3 teenagers loved it and really like him.

I was laid off from a newspaper on election day after 10 years -- I feel his pain. But everyone knows which way the Times has been going and it might be better for Mr. Stein that he got off the sinking ship. They have really lost credibility.

I know things will work out for Mr. Stein -- he is so smart and funny -- and he has a lot of blessings in his life, which he knows is what it's all about. He reminded me of that one morning on CBS after I had lost my job and I thank him for putting things in perspective. I look forward to hearing what he has to say in the near future. They have not silenced him -- they've fueled his fire.

Great Day in the Morning! Not only is the "old style" Reader Mail alive and thriving, but, low and behold, the fabulous, marvelous return of Beverly Gunn. May everyday common sense again prevail.

FALSE IDOLS
Re: Ralph R. Reiland's A Reading From Ezekiel:

How sad that a person with the name of Ezekiel Emmanuel that fairly reeks with Judeo-Christian connections should depart from all tenets of the Old and New Testaments in his cold scientific evaluation of human life. No wonder these people see no value in the miracle of unborn human beings.
