Re: William Tucker's The Next OPEC:

Wow, nice article. I am one of these aristocrats, now gradually drifting towards becoming a pauper.

FEELING MIFFED
Re: G. Tracy Mehan, III's Republicans Struggle to Get Off the Mat:

I get miffed at the Republicans touting Lincoln. Not only was he a racist, he wanted to ship the blacks out of the country. He, like Obama circumvented the Constitution in order to force the Confederates to the Union, by force. He created war that cost something like 600,000 lives for naught.

THE MESSIAH COMPLEX
Re: Ken Blackwell's Camp David Syndrome:

It is easy to understand why Obama is fascinated by the Middle East. He thinks he is the new Moses and the Red Sea is going to part before him. Moses had to perform miracles, but all Obama has to do is read a pontificating speech off his autocue. Unfortunately for him, he looks like a bigger fool than the Pharaoh who tried to cross the Red Sea after Moses had done his bit. Last week, Obama cancelled the missile defense system that George W. Bush planned for Eastern Europe, selling Poland and the Czech Republic down the river at the same time. Now we know that he also knew that Iran had a second nuclear facility, undeclared. How can he trust these people now, and how can he possibly rely on the IAEA to verify any agreement they do make? A decision that looked downright bad at the time now looks utterly reckless and stupid only a week later.

Now we have a President with a messiah complex, who has the worst judgment imaginable and is dealing with people who want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. God spare us from the catastrophe this hopeless egomaniac looks like he will bring down on our heads.

THE LACKEY SENATOR
Re: W. James Antle, III.'s The Kennedys' Senator:

The Founding Fathers created a chamber that would represent all American citizens, starting with 26 senators. In time the chamber grew; now we have 99 United States Senators representing the people and one lackey serving the Kennedys.

Maybe the people of The Bay State will finally rise up and reclaim their seat and liberty itself.

PRISTINE GARBAGE
Re: Bill Croke's Taking On the Trash:

A few years back during the Clinton years the family decided to take the train and go to Toronto for Y2K. Since everything was going to break-down, we figured we'd watch it fall apart from about 30 floors up.

Anyhow the train ride was a typical train ride. What surprised me was the amount of trash one sees piled up in the backsides of otherwise ‘pristine' Canadian suburbs and cities that one never sees while motoring there.

After all the years of being told that America; the great Satan was the scourge of the environmentally responsible world. I was shocked! SHOCKED! I say to see so much rubbish, rust, recyclables, otherwise known as GARBAGE piled up outside of so many otherwise fine Canadian homes and businesses.

Hey Detroit! Your reputation is being challenged.
