More evidence of the "deballing" of America.

Brilliant!

Love Neil's articles.

Cordial is diplo-speak. I always liked "That, sir, was an unfriendly act." These are usually the last words spoken before somebody jerks the string on an artillery piece.

Cavuto's right. He's right about McCain being a media whore, and he's right about being up front with people.

I remember when I entered a large public high school after eight years of a small Catholic elementary school. I remember P.E., the locker room. The seniors on either side of me, a scrawny, little kid, young for my grade (13). I remember the taunts, I remember the snapping towels. If I knew then what I know now, I would have brought to school two items: a box of cayenne pepper, and a sock full of nickels. I would have taken out those two sadistic bastards. I would have been suspended for a week, been required to undergo counseling, and NOBODY would have looked sideways at me for the next four years.

I love Neil, but I am BLUNT, and sometimes, it is the better part of valor, to be civil and restrained. Oh yes, and ulcers are not, not, NOT caused by stress, spicey food, or any of those other old wives' tales. Ulcers can be be caused by two things...1)a germ 2)too much aspirine/aspirine like medications...and it has to be a LOT of it taken for a long time.

This made me think of my son who was just a little over 4ft when he went into Jr High. There was a big kid, (and I mean big, I got to see him some months later) who would walk through the halls and when he saw a little guy would walk up and slam him against the wall, hit him, whatever he could do to hurt them. He knew no-one would fight back and I think the kids were too afraid to tell on him.

One day my son came home and told me about him and asked what he should do if he picked on him. I told him to slug him and my son said that he'd get suspended from school for 3 days if he did and I told him to use his own judgement.

A few days later he came home and said that the bully had confronted him but before the bully could do anything my son let loose. He gave the bully a black eye, a bloody nose and a fat lip. Everybody was ecstatic that he did it and no-one ratted on him so he didn't get in trouble.

A while later I started substituting in the school, I got lots of respect from the guys because "her son beat up Manny Mesa!"

I know I'm giving into my more volatile Italian heritage here, but where is it written we can't be nasty, mean, vituperative, in-your-face maniacs?

Come and visit us over here at FR, Neil. .....You'll like it.

In other words, act with absolutely no class, no tact and no sense of decorum.

You lose an election? Don't be a good loser. Call the other guy a freak who bought his way into office, and tell everyone who will listen that the people the winner represents are going to be screwed for the next few years.

What would our national level of discourse look like if we all did that? A bunch of screaming, bloody harpies all trying to peck out one another's eyes does not inspire confidence amongst voters, much less make a nation look like a civilized place to be.

Sure, it'd be hilarious if John McCain just hauled off and sucker-punched whoever he loses to, next, but what kind of message is that sending? 'Vote for me or I'll pop your eyes out of your skull'?

Bleah.

In an era of moral relativism, society frowns on candor, straight-talk and the truth. This is because people have become cowardly; they naturally know right from wrong they're just too chicken to admit it for fear of being labelled "intolerant." When someone throws caution to the wind and speaks the truth, these vascillators must condemn the truthspeaker because, were they to agree, they would in so doing admit their own cowardice for having not spoken up sooner; shunning the truthspeaker is the safer choice.
