Actually, I’m talking about the POW/MIA flag.

It is time to haul down the Democrat party with shame as a racist symbol.

Newsweak was sold a few years back for $1.00 - and way overpriced at that!

I feel sorry for the author -- it must be hard going through life as a little piece of rancid shit.

I have actually met Rick Perlstein on two occasions. He seems to have an all-consuming dislike for Richard Nixon, about whom he has written a couple of books. I got about two thirds through his first one, Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America (New York: Scribner, 2008) before giving up because his documentation is so often selective and inaccurate.

However, I was unaware of the depth of his hatred until I read this piece.

One may wistfully recall how Newsweek used to publish columns by conservative writers such as Henry Hazlitt, Victor Lasky and Ralph de Toledano.
