"[The soldiers] are the people standing between us and the terrorists; they are the thin red line protecting every decent, civilized person in the world from terror and we owe them a hell of a lot more than we're giving them!"

"When I first met my father-in-law, who's a two Silver Star winner in two wars, I said to him 'Why are you in the Army? Do you like war?' I was an IDIOT!"

Thompson/Stein 2008!

Except for that ‘support Al Franken’ thing he’s doing.

Yeah...when I heard that Ben was supporting Al financially, I lost all respect for him.

A social liberal whacko that supports Frankin. Yep, that’s what we need.

Didn’t Ben go wobbly on the war about a year ago and join the cut and run crowd? Has he changed or modified his position since then?

Your respect is a shallow loss for Ben Stein. He is a man of great substance, and I know that from an almost four decade friendship with him.

I had no idea Hillary had named her VP already! Ben Stein has NEVER been a conservative. He’s just another liberal. Oh...maybe he would be good material for the RINO Giuliani ticket. Nothing like NY/Hollywood. A SURE winner for the Republicans. /s

Ben Stein is brilliant and a true renaissance man. I have a great deal of respect for him.

The attached link shows years of interesting contributions. He’d be a great Sec of Treasury or on the Council of Economic Advisors.

Here is his bio: http://www.benstein.com/bio.html

He worked for Nixon, who he will point out was the last Republican president to have a balanced budget.

I had no idea about the Al Franken donation; that really sucks.

I’m still impressed by his book, though, and the fact that he’s donating all of the money to fallen soldiers’ families.
