[farmguy]

Lemme guess, Hal Friedman frequents DUmmyland

Maybe, but one things for sure, he reads a lot of conservative material.

[Enterprise]

Definitely time to light up a good cigar and have a sip of Jack Daniels. Hey Hal, in the words of my generation, "Up yours."

[Lazamataz]

whose leader recently swore hatred for the Democrats who are "destroying the Constitution" and "setting up a totalitarian state,"

Well, the problem is that I hate Democrats, because they are all destroying the Constitution and setting up a tolitarian state.

groups like the Free Republic, whose leader recently swore hatred for the Democrats who are "destroying the Constitution" and "setting up a totalitarian state,"

YEP!!!

FREEPERS ROCK!!

[SamAdams76]

Most excellent that the word continues to get out. We all know here that the Democratic Party is full of Marxists who are committed to destroying America and the Constitution. It's good to see that others are becoming aware as well, such as readers of the Wall Street Journal.

[b4its2late]

Great Job Jim!

[KC Burke]

I'll start it off.

Dear Hal,

While slow to anger, and quick to forgive, the common American, by-and-large conservative in cultural and political tendancies, has endured a six decade history of leftists stealing Jacksonian Democracy of the Democratic party and seen its transformation of that party into a destructive virus.

Our educational, economic, academic, cultural, liturary and political instituions have been perverted and our citizenry has plainly risen up in recoginition of that in the last twenty years. The Totalitarian Rationalist Democracy of the Left is not for us, they have proclaimed. Classical Liberal Democracy, which uses democratic methods as only a participartory tool, has been seen as the thing worth keeping. That was the system of the Old Whigs, those who founded this country.

The false Sentimentality of the Enlightenment, the Rationalism the cannot recognize that "Beauty Lives, though Lillies die", that "establishes" the secular humanism of Dewey as a national religion, and the economics of the Left are all been seen as the road to failure for the freedoms on which this nation has thrived.

Hate and contempt have been poured upon our founders' values and principles for decades by the Left. But that scheme has been seen for what it is and its victims, our common citizens, are proclaiming their understanding.

That is what the leftists have always wanted isn't it? "Understanding."

Well now they have it, in spades.

"...The unremitting Clinton-bashing during the entirety of that administration..."

Must have stung them more than I realized.

[aculeus]

Where is Jim's name?

Where did I say they mentioned his name?

[gatex]

"Hal Friedman Brooklyn, N.Y..."

Wish he would post on FR and explain why New York City can not have a Second Amendment. How does he protect himself from crooks (Brooklyn does have crooks, doesn't it?)

[Grammy]

Congratulations Jim!

Seems as though polite society has now risen up to recognize the dangers that the democrats present to them. We're not gonna take it anymore!

[SquirrelKing]

Right-wingers have been holding up their end of the polarization of America.

Well, did they expect us to sit around picking our noses with our feet propped on the kitchen table?

Not that I do that.

[general_re]

Brooklyn does have crooks, doesn't it?

Yes, but the usual method of dealing with them is to elect them to Congress ;)
