It goes without saying that the only Supreme Court Justice who didn't attend Obama's State of the Union was the only black Justice. This is the hypocrisy of the left, if the only white justice hadn't showed, he would be a racist; but since it was the only black Justice, it is of no importance. Justice Thomas has my deepest respect, not because he is a black conservative, it is because he is an intelligent man who believes in the rule of law. Black conservatives are probably the biggest thorn in the side of the leftist political machine which only brings the left's racism to light.

WHERE the money comes from is not as important as is HOW MUCH money is in the war chests of those running for office. That is what should be limited and level across the board.

As far as BO's brilliance goes; no he is not brilliant, he is a con artist. But he and his despicable minions are shrewd and they are like termites; burrowing into what is left of the core and structure of America. American voters are the pest control that is needed to eliminate the termites. After the elimination we need to start rebuilding America so she is once again the undisputed leader of the free world, which is her rightful place.

Bert you described my and many other Americans feelings toward our present occupant of the Oval Office concisely. You also described why I stopped watching O'Reilly and the gnome Sheppard Smith. If Barrack Hussein Obama was so smart and the Centrist he portrayed himself as, he would have allowed access to all his writings at Harvard and Columbia. Only some one that has something to hide refuses to rlease his writings and opinions.

Mr. Prelutsky, your article is excellent, as always.

Mr. Wegmann, many Americans feel just like you and I do, yet we are labeled extremists, birthers, or right wing lunatics.

If I want to apply for a job, certainly not one as important as that of President of the world's most powerful country, I have to supply my college transcripts and three recommendations otherwise my application will not be considered.

If I want to get a passport, an I.D. or a driver's license, I must submit an original birth certificate.

Why then are we lunatics if we want to be proud of our supreme leader's accomplishments? He is college educated at X, Y, and Z because he says so?

A former communist country in Eastern Europe had a president who had a second grade education yet he ordered his underlings to make up credentials for him. His wife had a fifth grade education and she pretended to have a Ph.D. in chemistry. She stole someone's dissertation, forced research chemists to come up with papers which she presented at international forums yet NOBODY challenged her. Only after her execution did the truth come out and her awards were rescinded. Nobody in the country dared to cross her because they would have been summarily executed. What about the international academia? Why did they not challenge this uneducated woman? Dictators ascribe all sorts of accomplishments to themselves without question. But we do NOT live in a dictatorship, do we?

What can we say, Burt? A brilliant piece!

But about those beans Mr Waxman's bringing to the picnic...is that an old one I just never heard or did that just come to you in a moment of great inspiration? I think I hurt myself, I got a stitch...

If he does remember the beans I'm stayin clear of them. I think they'd scare me. I know its unkind, but frankly I would keep thinking they fell out of his nose.

Hi Burt,first time reading one of your articles, GREAT work!!! Paragraph 7 really nailed it for me!! I think obama would be better suited to read the evening news than pretending to be concerned about the American people.I also read your archive articles too also great reads.Anyway keep up the great work. Thanks!

Mr.Prelutsky, I love it when somebody tells the Truth.

"But I wouldn't want to leave liberals and some goofy conservatives entirely speechless when it comes to describing the president. So to fill the void, I’m happy to supply them with some options, such as stubborn, pompous, inflexible, dishonest, officious, partisan, unpatriotic, duplicitous, socialist, untrustworthy and dictatorial."

and if I might add my comment to your list of very descriptive words, how about "shrewd and clever".

Brilliant??? and they even have called him an "orator"????!!!!

Thanks for describing "the Emperor and his shredded clothes".

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" Proverbs 17:22, with all of the bitter waters we have had to drink lately, Your article was like a cup of cold water to a thirsty soul.

Burt, you speak for millions of Americans who are not at all impressed with these self-important, self-absorbed, anti-American radical Socialists. I am certain that if Obama thought for one moment he could get away with it, he would take overt control of the media, annul the Constitution, confiscate our firearms and rename this country the new Socialist States of North America.

Of course, it's precisely because of all those lovely firearms that he knows he'd never get away with it. Well, that and the fact that our military is comprised of our sons and daughters, husbands and wives, moms and dads, and they would bring this whole mockery of government to a quick end if he ever gave such an order.

Something similar just happened last year in Honduras, as a matter of fact -- and Obama officially supported the pro-Communist, ousted president over the Constitutionally-required, duly elected, rightful president of that country. Think he saw his future written in that little escapade? I sure do.

A year ago, I was quite dismayed at the turn of events in America which placed such an obvious radical in the White House. He turned out to be even worse than I feared, but something astonishing happened then. Regular Americans saw what he was doing, took to the streets, and DEMANDED their Congressmen vote against Obama's reckless, foolish agenda. Nothing like that has happened before in my lifetime, and it was truly inspiring to see my fellow Americans asserting their Constitutional authority.

Today, I am energized, inspired, excited and wading into the fight with "guns blazing." This is the most remarkable thing I've ever witnessed (except for the births of my children) and the best is yet to come. Americans are remembering who they are and why. What a glorious time this is!

Ileana, your comments on these columns are just as much fun to read as the columns themselves. I always look forward to reading what you have to say here. I've often wished I could contact some of the other commenters, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. Fair enough, anybody who wants to can find me on MySpace. I'm not shy. Conservatives need to band together, and that's a great place to do so. ;)

Dear Readers: Nice comments, one and all. Veritaseequitas: Intersting that you refer to the left-wing airheads as termites. The title of my new book is "Liberals: America's Termites."

Jimmy D: I actually invented the line about Waxman and bringing baked beans to a picnic; I have no idea how that expression happened to pop into my head. But as soon as it did, I knew it was apt.

Regards, Burt

Burt,

You need to come out of your shell and stop beating around the bush. You need to start tellings things as they really are.

Please just tell us the truth, we can handle it.

Nice writings everyone. Funny how the concept keeps occurring re You can tell them but you can't tell them much. People are only able to comprehend what their limited minds will let them. I have been able to predict what Barry will do by remembering what he said a week ago. He tele-graphes his intentions if you listen carefully to what he says. The Politics(which is a language folks and nothing else) is very strong. Having been asked to withdraw from a Political Science Class while in College I began to paying attention to the Government and how it works. Being a prior Military Serviceman with 2 1/2 years in Viet Nam, Marines, I found out what this Government is capable of doing, buy the use of language, wording,double meaning etc. There are Provisions in our Constitution to Protect us, but only if You are willing to fight for your Freedom, something a lot of people gave up by turning to the Govt. to better their Lives either Financally or because they were un-able to find the strength to do so on their own, thats why Homeless People are Homeless. They rely on other people to take care of them. I trust no one who reads the Post are like that.

I beleive this will all come to an end soon. Health Care is the nail in the coffin for Barry. His whole Presidencey is based on it. Then comes November the final closing of the Lid.

Semper Fi people

PREZBO, like other Statists uses such wonderful language, but says absolutly nothing.

The next goal will be the Fairness Doctrine. I say bring it on, but let's apply to ALL MEDIA! That means CNN, MSNBC, will have to have equal numbers of conservative commentators. Oh, also let's bring it to Academia. Every time one of those eggheads spouts of about how Evil America is, he MUST BY LAW yeild the floor to either another professor, or a student to allow time for a rebuttle.

And least we forget Hollywierd, for every anti-American movie they release they MUST BY LAW relase one praising the virtues of America,,,Micheal Moore are you listening?

After all, this would be FAIR no?

Doesn't it tell you something that Burt Prelutsky regularly interacts with his readers in a way that you KNOW he reads your comments?

Don't think I've ever experienced a columnist that touches the nerve of readers in the way he does.

Thanks Burt.

Thank you, Alex. I don't always comment, but I always read. I do, of course, respond to email sent to me. But, lest you think it's only you readers who don't get responses from other columnists, the fact is, neither do I.

Cheers, Burt

Burt, you not only hit the nail on the head, you leave a hammer ding where it resides. Great stuff. I thought I might wet myself at the "bring the beans" comparison..

The quotation from your writing on the PatriotPost today is so incisive and incising that it is a joy to read. I miss you on Townhall lately. Your column along with Ann Coulter was the one I never overlooked. TRC

You only post those who would agree with you and your invective littered 'prose'. You are truly unenlightened, disrespectful, arrogant, self-hating and a narrow minded hypocrite. No surprise that you are surrounded by 'birds of a feather'

Dear Tom Cook: As you may or may not know, Townhall suddenly dumped me last August after posting my articles for almost four years. In addition to appearing here at the Patriot Post, I also post pieces at my own site, BurtPrelutsky.com.

I, too, enjoy Coulter. As a writer, that is. On TV, I find her loud, rude and generally obnoxious.

Regards, Burt

amen, he is the dumbest ever elected, so what does that say about those who voted for him?

Burt, glad I found you once again. I didn't realize TH had dropped you, I kept looking. Great column, but what's new about that? Picking on O'Reilly though, for crying out loud remember he's a school teacher.

Thanks

Good grief. You certainly got out on the wrong side of bed before you wrote this angry, and not particularly intelligent, article.

You will do better after a good night's sleep and the smallest pinch of arsenic in your cereal.

I'm so happy that someone (Burt Prelutsky) mentions our president's youthful drug abuse. NIH studies have shown that this indiscretion almost always renders the abuser very much damaged, in the form of at least arrested maturity, and at worst, in the form of an inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy. I am beginning to suspect that our president suffers from the latter. At first, I thought it was just arrested maturity, but after the "health care summit", I'm now believing that Barack Obama suffers from the reality/fantasy problem. I hope this great country, which was sleeping somewhat when it elected this poor handicapped man as president, can survive his "reign". I will fear government just a little bit more than usual during his term, and pray for my country much more than usual.

Jay--I do not post the comments. I submit my pieces to the folks at Patriot Post and that's it. They handle everything else. So far as I know, they post whatever the readers write, except, as they state, "obscene, profane, abusive and off-topic" comments. For God's sake, man, Sue Miller, a woman to whom I've never even been married, suggests I add a touch of arsenic to my breakfast cereal. Seems a tad abusive to me, but I can take it.

Burt

Tonight, on O'Reilly, McCain was asked if Obama is a socialist. He waffled (again). I sent the following email to O'Reilly: "A widely accepted definition of a socialist is: One who advocates the government ownership and/or control of the means of production and/or distribution of goods and services in an economy. He is a socialist." I wonder if this will see the light of day.

Robert Benson: I am willing to bet that your apt comment will not make the final cut. The reason I say that is because Fox not only refuses to have me on--preferring to go with such lively commentators as Juan Williams, Alan Colmes and Bob Beckel--but I have never had one of my pithy remarks broadcast to the world. But, then, I have never written in to say that "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" is the greatest book since "The Adventures of Huck Finn."

Regards, Burt

I have never read one of your opinion pieces before, however I agree with everything you have written. It was Inego Montoya who said that line, another great character, who demonstrated a life long committment to righting a wrong. His line was, "Hello, my name is Inego Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."Thanks for a great piece. Look forward to reading more form you in the future.

Burt,

Refreshing to have found you here at The Patriot Post. Your "say-it-like-it-is" style flys in the face of Libs who will NEVER EVER get it!

It is time to scream at the top of our lungs...Resign BO, resign now!!! I have been screaming at the top of my lungs, to all who'll listen, what an unqualified, inexperienced, incompetent, narrcistist this "poser" in the White House truly is. Unless you're one of the 63 million brain-dead morons who voted for him, the question begs to be asked...."What didn't you understand?" It's something new everyday with this idiot. It is time for real CHANGE instead of watching daily OUR money and our future thrown away by fools! He and his minion's mindsets are as foreign to me as people from Mars! These loons are so out of touch with reality, and so far LEFT, that it's time we stood up to their ridiculous panderings and goals of destroying this country and once and for all do SOMETHING!!!

As a conservative American, I have been trying for weeks to get through to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, to BEG them to start Operation E-I-E. Enough is Enough! After all, they reach a huge audience. Hear me out....

I have had it with these Liberals and what they are trying to do to this country, on a daily basis! Please, please, forward this to all of your friends and family, and ask them to get on the phone and implore Rush or Sean to start DEMANDING THAT THIS INCOMPETENT IMBECILE RESIGN, NOW!!! If Rush or Sean would simply ask their viewing audience to flood Washington DC, with letters demanding that "the anointed one" immediately resign, (at the rate of about 2,000,000 letters per week), followed up with millions of emails, we might possibly make something really happen in this country. This idiot has got to be stopped! (The obvious question Rush or Sean would ask you would be the "effect" of BO's resigning. The answer is simple......it will put the fear of God into the rest of them and they'll realize that "We the people" actually means something instead of them pushing their own agendas!!!) Ask yourself, how many "rallies" have been held in favor of Health Care Reform? How many people are marching in the streets of America demanding that they be provided with a bazillion dollar Government run health care system???

This isn't funny any longer, and if we wait until this year's elections, God help us all. I am not willing to bet "on the come." Meaning, I am not willing for a "maybe" reversal of the DEMOCRAPIC majority. It is time to act now and get the word out! I AM MAD AS HELL, AND I REFUSE TO TAKE THIS LUNACY ANY LONGER!!!!!

I'm begging you not to let the "other guy" make the phone calls, we all need to make the calls until someone gets through and convinces Rush or Sean that this plan is sound! It took only one man, one man in 1803 to abolish slavery in England and one man or one woman getting through to one of them might be the key to ending this nightmare once and for all. Conservatives unite! I'm afraid the GOP has lost its backbone to stand up to these Libs! It's time to act!

I immediately find fault with someone, when they give either wrong or misleading information. In this case to describe the England which should be British, Health system as a failure proves the either incompetence of the writer or an attempt to mislead the reader. The "British" Health system is most definitely not a failure. Having been a recipient of it for the last 60 years, I can refute any suggestion of it being a failure. The problem with a lot of people is that they expect perfection when talking about Health Care. They don't seem to realize that to operate and control such an enormous enterprise with the vast amounts of money required to operate it, that it is never going to satisfy everyone.

When on the other hand you look at the American system and discover that it currently cost 3 times as much to operate as the British System, for the same or less "Care" then perhaps the saying" people in Glass Houses shouldn't throw stones" become very appropriate.

Mr. McCreery: A darn good try, but no cigar. I'm glad you have enjoyed the English or British health care system for all these years and I hope you get to enjoy it for another 60 years, but your saying it works so well doesn't make it so. I have no reason to "mislead" my readers, whereas you, so far as any of us know, might be a bureaucrat charged with overseeing the British system. As for the American system costing three times as much as the one you adore, do you think the reason just might have something to do with the fact that we have five times as many people?

Burt Prelutsky

Mr Prelutsky, not quite sure what the number of people has got to do with it. The figures I was referring to, were percentage of GDP. They were actually given to me by an American who I have befriended since living in this lovely country of yours, for the last two years. The reason I dislike people criticizing the British system is that I, now, have personal experience of the American and I see nothing here that I can say is any better than the British and to the contrary, in one area the form of "defensive" medicine that is practiced here by doctors I see as very obstructive to proper health care apart from the extra cost that it builds in. Sir, I could go on at length. You are not alone in your views and I have found in the majority of cases where I talk to people that that is because of so much misinformation being bandied about.

Mr. McCreery: For one thing, you didn't mention anything about GDP...and why would you? You said our system costs three times as much as the British system. I pointed out that we have five times as many people.

Some of the "misinformation" about our two systems suggests that English people have to wait far longer than Americans to get a doctor's appointment and to have surgery performed. If it's true, our system is better. If it's not true, what is the truth? Also, if the English system is superior to our own and Canada has a similar system, why do so many Canadians travel south on their own dime to use our system? I won't mention Cuba, which only idiots like Michael Moore rave about.

In any case, welcome to America. Are you staying?

Regards, Burt
