Words have meaning and when the entire essence of a thought can be condensed into a single perfectly phrased sentence…well, I find that magical.
Sullivan on Palin:
“She remains the hood ornament for a marketing campaign that now passes for the conservative movement.”
Beautiful.

It astounds me that anyone would actually come to the defense of Roman Polanski. Some have gone as far as to call his arrest in Switzerland the culmination of a witch hunt. They talk of his charm and intelligence, his genius even, as if any of it could somehow make his deed any less reprehensible. Poland and France are pleading that Switzerland and the United States release him from custody.
Why?
Here is a man who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13 year old girl. He pleaded guilty to the charges and when he felt his plea bargain would not be accepted, he fled the country. He’s been a fugitive for over 30 years. He is a criminal.
Let him have his day in court like everyone else.

What happens when a political party lacks leadership and moral conviction? When it does nothing to prevent hate and lies from spreading through its ranks but instead feeds the hatred through the words of its own elected politicians? When it allows an egocentric buffoon like Rush Limbaugh to be the party’s moral compass?
What happens is that every bigot, homophobe, racist, moron, lowlife idiot crawls out from under their rocks and is given a microphone and podium from which to spew their venom.
What you get is this…

So, keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition.

Take back America. Don’t let them take the country into Socialism. And I refer again, Hitler’s party was National Socialism.
And that’s what we are having here right now, which is bordering on Marxism.
When does free speech end and incitement to violence begin? There was a time when stuff like this was was only spoken at secluded basement meetings where secret passwords were necessary to gain entry. Now the radical right can get on stage and tell their hapless audience to buy more ammo while Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh speak up for their poor ‘oppressed’ audience of white males by playing the race card. And all of this is so frequent now, it’s almost become blase. Crazy.
Where is Wyatt Earp when you need him?

Democratic Senator Ben Nelson…
Before a crowd of over 200 gathered at a senior center in Nebraska, Nelson said health care reform ought to pass with 65 votes–a feat which would require at least five Republicans to break with their party.
“I think anything less than that would challenge its legitimacy,” he said.
Hey Ben, why not ask for 100 votes to really ensure legitimacy? Dick.
With Democrats like Nelson, liberals are going to have battle not only Republicans but members of their own party to pass any kind of substantial reform. Is it clear yet that these self-serving shams in Congress have lost complete sight of why they’re there?
BTW, the public option amendments in the Senate Finance Committee bill were rejected with a 15-8 nay vote. Five DINOs (Democrats In Name Only) voted with Republicans.

They’ve gone insane.
Rep. Trent Franks, a Republican from Arizona…
“Obama’s first act as president of any consequence, in the middle of a financial meltdown, was to send taxpayers’ money overseas to pay for the killing of unborn children in other countries,” said Frank. “Now, I got to tell you, if a president will do that, there’s almost nothing that you should be surprised at after that. We shouldn’t be shocked that he does all these other insane things. A president that has lost his way that badly, that has no ability to see the image of God in these little fellow human beings, if he can’t do that right, then he has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity.”
Is there any possible way to reasonably debate such delirium? Sometimes it’s best to just shake your head and walk away.
