Thank God you didn't post more. This was all I could stand.

Christina van den Heuvel, besides being wrong about almost everything she talks about, has the most obnoxious and condescending attitude. I have never seen her smile. I suspect she was born with a pickle up her ass.

Lame!

Substitute 'Free markets, law, and self-defense'. Political Correctness PC is very simply a redefinition of existing paradigms on their own, Marxist terms. I always choose to redefine for me, it's my right.

Ah. The Nation.....a commie rag!

...the connection between waving the flag and bombing ordinary people half a world away back to the proverbial stone age. Stone age? They already are in the stone age, and last time I checked ordinary people don't fly jetliners into skyscrapers killing 1000's of innocent people.

Wave the flag high and "Let's Roll"!!

jingoism

...the current leftist buzz-word. Watch how it is repeated on the talking heads shows this weekend. What was it two to three weeks ago, "imperialism".

That's exactly what I thought... Wait for a Rush montage on this! Remember the "veracity" kick that everyone went on!?!? Guess the DNC fax went out this week:

jin·go·ism (jngg-zm)
n.

Extreme nationalism characterized especially by a belligerent foreign policy; chauvinistic patriotism.

---

jingo·ist n.
jingo·istic adj.
jingo·isti·cal·ly adv.

'Colonialism' doesn't work for them anymore, after they realized we started out as thirteen colonies. lol, it's funny to watch them squirm, but better to watch them sentenced I think.

Someone should put this kid in a good home. Okay, I take it back, but dang it this kid's parent is a 13 on the A.H. scale of 1-10.

"She is the quintessential ANTI-AMERICAN."

Are there any ANTI-AMERICANS left? After the Presidents speech with "either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists" line I think they should be referred to as PRO-TERRORISTS.

[A.J.Armitage]

That's funny, you haven't bumped me to this one.

I graduated Stuyvesant in 1965. Among my classmates was Rep. Jerrold Nadler. He weighed about a buck sixty in those days. I guess all those years of living off the public teat have caused him to at least double in size. Pity that his politics are stuck in the pinko hippie days of the Anti-War movement.

[PISANO]

Sickening!!!!!

[The Right Stuff]

This is sad. Hope for the daughter, though!

[RnMomof7]

There is a columinist from Fla. who's name escapes me at the moment,he said that foreigners need to understand that we are a family and when one of us is injured we all are

That night I was at a class I am taking..I am the only white face there..as we were leaving some of us were talking about the explosion...and we all agreed with the writer..

We are a mixed family..we are white and black and yellow and red..and we have different religions and cultures.Now that means we fight among ourselves.....but we are family ..when an outsider hurts one of us he hurts us all...

The foreigners all need to know that!

PLEASE LEAVE MY COUNTRY, YOU TRAITOROUS WHxRE!

I certainly hope you are not directing that comment towards Kenyon. She didn't write the article, she's just posting it. For example, you could do it this way:

To Katha Pollit, writer of that horrible article
PLEASE LEAVE MY COUNTRY, YOU TRAITOROUS WHxRE!
See now wasn't that easy?

This mother (?) should go to Cuba in exchange for Elian. The kids can live in the White House. I'm sure George and Laura would love to raise them.

[Eva]

How sad for the author. He is a man without a country. He should move to Cuba or maybe Haiti would suit him better.
