Wow, Ted Kennedy in the same sentence as morals. Amazing Nancy.

While I am a 110% supporter of this post, it is difficult to believe that such a history aware posting would not check the records. You quoted Gen. R.E.Lee ,and then got his date of death wrong by two years. He was gone 5 years after the war.

I presume that the statement "White House press corpse reporter Helen Thomas" was intentionally printed that way. Way to go! I love it!

Don't celebrate Republican Mark Kirk's Senate seat victory in Illinois too early. As they say, the election isn't over until all the Democratic voters are dug up.

Or, as Chicago's Mayor Daley was reported to say, "Don't worry about the election, Mr. President, it's in the back...I mean, it's in the bag."

Been hollering this, "no where is there a published

amount of CO2 stated in relation to the overall volumne of atmosphere which shows an amount greater

than 5 one hundreths of a percent. That should have been a warnning, that the smell of fish wasn';t

from Denmark. All aounts shown were concentrations

from industrial complexes.

How ironic that Richard Fernandez would write the following, "Now that President Obama has been politically weakened, look for the mask to come back on. The words of sweet reason, the entreaties to 'make a deal,' and feigned affection will now make a surprise reappearance," in the run up to Valentine's Day. So in this week, we have the suggestion of seduction by way of a day celebrated by flowers, candy, and lingerie, sold more for the benefit of men rather than the women who receive such. I wonder how health care, cap & tax, etc. will be dressed up this time?

May God continue to raise up those who employ humor to reveal the truth from all angles in the nation's capital and throughout this country. We need to see and digest the message to let freedom ring as never before!!

I always thought that BO meant body odor. I guess that was the right definition...

President Obama's comment that "... we're not handling any of these [terrorist] cases any different than the Bush administration handled them" is about as self-serving as you can get. Here's a guy who trashes the previous administration at every turn - especially their anti-terror policies, with frequent denunciations of "torture", threats of CIA investigations, and promises to "restore our moral standing in the world."

I guess the Bush policies are only an abomination when they don't provide political cover for Obama's weak-kneed approach to jihadism.

Maybe Episcopal Bishop Vicky Gene Robinson needs to review his Roman History.

I have been accused of being anti American because I oppose unconstitutional government legislation and do not support the transformation of our representative form of government to a socialist tyranny. I have alluded to the possible need for the citizens to if necessary retake our liberty by exercising one of the rights protected for us in the Constitutions Bill of Rights when our government stops operating within the limits imposed to preserve our liberty.

It is not that I dont love and support our country, I do not love and support the unconstitutional direction we have allowed the elected to take us. Our elected violate their oath of office daily eroding the very foundation of our freedom and acting more like royalty than a representative government I do not accept tyrannical rule. I support representative government acting within restraints that are designed to assure liberty.

I will never fight against this country and my fellow citizens but I will fight against a transformation to a socialist tyranny with voice, pen and if necessary life. Those who do not understand the love of liberty this country was founded upon will never understand that.

Re- your Non Compos Mentis piece quoting the NOW president, it's interesting (and revealing) that she chose ONLY to comment on the Tebow ad in asserting that it represented violence against women.

Did she NOT see Betty White roughed up? Wasn't THAT endorsing violence of women, and elderly woment at that?? Did she not see Abe Vigoda slammed into the ground? More violence against the elderly?

Obviously she's an idiot, and the commercial has nothing to do with violence. Well, "obviously" to anyone with at least half a brain.

Dont you know anything.......Global warming has made the blizzards WORSE!!!!

Right here on Yahoo in todays news!!!!!!

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools........." Romans 1

Talk about dumb. The news reported this morning that US forces are going to attack a Talaban stronghold in Afganistan. Sure, let them know what you're going to do. That's real smart. This afternoon I see that the Talaban beat them to the punch. The Talaban attacked the US base. I wonder why?

I think that the news media is our biggest enemy. They cause a very large percentage of our problems. Tell us that the economy is going down hill. We believe it, stop buying and the economy goes to hell.

Don't pick the speck out of my eye while you have a log in yours. Palin's three words on her hand while Obama has an entire speech of his teleprompter. Takes a lot of liberal chutzpah to do that.

0 (and that is a zero, not an O) is hanging his hat on passage of Obamacare. So if it doesn't pass, consider it a "vote of confidence" and then he resigns from office.

President B. Hussein Obama has renamed the tetonic plates beneath Haiti in honor of G. W. Bush - so now it is confirmed that the recent earthquake is, in fact, Bush's Fault...

What about the violence against Betty White in another Super Bowl commercial? She is 88 years old and ended up in a mud puddle. Is NOW crying foul on that commercial? No, of course not.

NOW couldn't find anything else to criticize about the Tebow ad after they saw it, so they fabricated violence against women. Tim and his mom both came up smiling after the "tackle."

""Non Compos Mentis: "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it. That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself." --NOW president Terry O'Neill on the Super Bowl ad featuring Pam and Tim Tebow"" Yeah, right. And Sarah campaigned on SNL.

Sabrejock-

The same newscast with Brian Williams at the helm stated,"The economic problems will have an effect on the ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS- Social Security and Medicare". Entitlement????

Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been paying the MAX into Social Security for over 50 years"...so I think I am ENTITLED...what an idiot!

I find it interesting that the President wants to broadcast on TV his health care reform meeting with Republicans, yet for some reason we never saw his promised C-Span TV broadcast of the Democrat only health care reform debate...

Loved the Rumsfeldian comment from Steyn! They really don't know what they don't know! haha

They were convinced there was another ice age coming in the 1970's. History repeats.

Compare MSM coverage of potato(e) vs Corpsmen (corpsemen). Pretty well sums up the bias!

Spelling is more important than pronunciation!

I am not sure why Mark Kirk is getting so much applause. What Illinois voters have in November is the choice to vote for a liberal democrat or a conservative democrat. In the Illinois voter guide, he aggrees with most every issue on the Democratic ticket. I wish voters actually researched their candidates before voting. He's even stated that he is fiscally consertative and socially liberal. How does one actually pull that off??

Social Security an "entitlement program", Excuse me, WE, the people who work, have been "FORCED" to participate in this "PROGRAM". It is not an "Entitlement program".

The only way this "FORCED" program gets entangled with "entitlements" is what the Federal government did AFTER they sold this to the American people under FDR. Originally, Social Security was set up as escrow accounts for citizens (the piece paper they send you, is NOT an escrow account). The Social Security monies were assigned to go into the General Fund and that swelled the "kitty" so that new "entitlement programs" (food stamps, aid to dependent children, etc.) could become reality once voted by Congress into law.

It really irks me to have Social Security referred to as "entitlement". It irks me for the anyone to refer to Veterans benefits and compensation as "entitlements".

We have been "FORCED" to pay into Social Security and we are not on "entitlements".

The Veterans are not on "government hand outs" They did their duty to God & Country and they are entitled to whatever a grateful Nation can give. I think they should all be given "Charge Cards", go to any Doctor or hospital, get the medicine you need compliments of the a Grateful Nation. ( I have suggested this to My Representative, but it fell on "deaf ears".)

The Katrina bunch could have charge cards issued to them!!! Why not the Veterans, Our Veterans are worthy.

It is not about BO or bad breath. Correctly it is OB. Obama - Biden. "Out of Bounds" and still running. Rules somehow don't apply. The Constitution is a set of rules for governing everyone, not ruling everyone!

The question: Is BO actually eligible to be president? I ask that because Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck adamantly say that he is - yet there are many, (referred to as'birther's') who are not convinced. McCain was vetted and had to prove his birth records. Obama was not. Obama has refused to release any of his records and has paid 1.7 million dollars to keep them hidden. To end this speculation all Obama has to do is provide his vault certified birth certificate as well as his school and university records. I would really like to know if the man who is taking this country into socialism/Marxism is in fact eligible. I now want proof and so should every citizen in this country. If O'Reilly and Beck have proof they need to show it to the American Public. The COLB on he internet is not a certified birth certificate.

Please remind Rich Galen that the Senate seat to be represented for Illinois is - NOT - Obama's Senate Seat.

Enough of these slips! And for a change, stop trying to add fuel to a fire that is already consuming America. I am a constitutional conservative with no political alignment, and day by day, less and less of an America to which I wish to belong. I am absolutely sick of the political bickering that serves only to support more politics - and does nothing to support solutions. How about simply focusing on LESS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, NO FEDERAL ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS,RETURN AUTHORITY TO THE STATES, AND LESS TAXES. Think you can come up with some useful commentary on these ideas?

social security was started for poor widows and the poor elderly. people who didn't pay into a system but started getting checks. that's an entitlement. the money i put into the system isn't for me down the road. it is for current retirees. that is an entitlement for the current retirees. the money you put in all those years when pay was lower wouldn't begin to cover the current cost of social security.

the problem is that when i retire in 20 years there will be too few workers to pay for me to sit and watch TV for 20 years.

And don't even get me started on medicaid for the old.

If you worked for 40 years and you expect to live for 20 more years after retiring then you should have socked away half your pay for those 40 working years so you can continue with the same lifestyle in retirement.

Hardly anyone saves that kind of money because they think the government is "saving" it for them leaving them to spend most of their wages thus making them dependent on the government for their "entitled" paycheck during retirement.

we live longer now too but still retire in our 60's and that puts even more of a burden on the system, i.e., current taxpayers

MAKE SOCIAL SECURITY VOLUNTARY.

1. Pay back principal with interest, those who want a "cash settlement"

2. Government must stay good to the "contract". People who are on this and "trusted" the system, and paid the "FORCED" premiums expect the "contract to be honored" and it should.

Marcus, you stumble at a fact that was changed AFTER this "System" was established that has left many Americans bitter. Many Americans die before they can collect any of the money that was "FORCED" from their pay checks, every pay day. Hence why the Original "Social Security System" had "escrow accounts", the American people wanted to be PAID back if they were going be in such a system. It was reasonable and honest for the people to require "escrow accounts". But AFTER the Bill passed, the change came that abolished the "escrow accounts" and directed the Social Security payments to the General Fund.

It is not the fault of the We, the people, who have been “FORCED” but is the FAULT of those who changed the “original contract” .

The resolution to this "Social Security System" DILEMMA is very easy.

MAKE SOCIAL SECURITY VOLUNTARY. When it is no longer a "FORCED" system, we'll see how many still participate?????????

Heh heh. Caught this subtle and very funny joke:

"--White House press corpse reporter Helen Thomas"

Ruth Ann,

I believe many things would be better if we were able to walk back what we have done in the last 60 years.

Since politician's jobs are temporary they can, and have, left the growing problems for the "next guy".

I think we should provide some measure of social security like for widows with children, severely disabled people, temporarily unemployed people, etc. in other words, for folks that couldn't help what happened to them, and their families can't or won't take care of them.

Retirement social security should be eliminated immediately and the money stopped from being taken from workers. It would be up to the workers to set aside in whatever manner they see fit for their retirement or work until they die or depend on their family for support.

If social security is still in place when I reach retirement age I plan to give the whole check each month to the church or bonafide charities. At least then I would feel like the money coming from the young people working at that time and as you correctly say, "forced" to pay, will have a little bit of their money doing something good.

Andrea,

way funny comment!

Is Vicky Gene Robinson serious? One would think that an Episcopal Bishop would remember that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed in the time of Abraham because their sin of homosexuality was so grevious to the Lord. If memory serves, Abraham was around a bit longer than 125 years ago!!

Couldn't be better said.

Marcus, In this Constitutional Republic, Charity is to be exercised between neighbors as the Bible prescribes.

I think most folks on this Post have read the account of Davey Crockett, when he tried to exercise benevolence with Public money, he was soundly "put in his place" by a constituent and Mr. Crockett was corrected. I believe it was a Navy Widow who had applied for "relief" (My Father's word for government "aid") and it was wrong.

The Constitution has the boundaries for those who are elected. The Constitution is STRICT and RIGID for a reason. It must be adhered to because of the nature of man. ( The government can not be "benevolent with other people's money." Do we not know the TROUBLE this has caused?????)

Back to the Constitution. NO MONEY for PUBLIC CHARITY. I know you can not think like that because of the "Boundaries that have been broken" and the "precedence set" but we are not "kinder and sweeter" than our Wonderful Founders.

Government at all levels is "way out of bounds". Our problems in this Country are because we have "violated" the Constitution. God required an Oath that elected men would be "afraid" to transgress that Glorious Document.

Sorry, Public Charity is not to be exercised by the government.

From 2/10/2010 Chronicle.

It's called national security: "President Barack Obama does have a foreign policy. It's called war. Unfortunately, the president has not defined any real difference between his hawkish approach to international issues and that of his predecessor, former President George W. Bush. Where's the change we can believe in? Bush left a legacy of two wars, neither of which was ever fully explained or justified. Obama has merely picked up the sword that Bush left behind in Iraq and Afghanistan." --White House press corpse reporter Helen Thomas

Is there some kind of assassination plot against the White House press corps???
