Try and post something without a link to a source, and see how fast you get flamed. Of course, the flamers are subject to the flames, also....
Remember, FR is not so insular as the MSM would have you believe. I'd never read the NY Times, Boston Globe, LA Times, etc., if not for FR.
Bump!
Man! That's informed!
And we're sharing that knowledge with everyone we can - people who are not part of the pajama brigade.
I like the term "pajamahadeen" used earlier on a thread.
What a brillant thinker and writer.
She's a national treasure.
