Re: The DSA Will Not Be Mocked!
“‘In her brilliant way, [J.K.] Rowling hits on the very thing that can dispel the DSA’s awfulness: Laugh at it, turn it into something ridiculous, and watch as it loses all power and fades into the annals of history.’ Reminds one of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: ‘Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.’” —Connecticut
“Indeed. I would have to call Larry David’s latest work, ‘The View From Here,’ an astonishing incursion into logic, reason, and common sense. But will it last? Knowing what I know, I would have to label his refreshing revelation more under the guise of: ‘Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.’” —North Carolina
“It isn’t going to ‘fade away.’ It’s malignant, contagious, and growing rapidly.” —Washington
Re: When Your Mother Calls You a Liar in an Attack Ad
“The political playbook of attacking the opponent’s character rather than the policies is so harmful to voters. When did the family rule ‘If you can’t say something good about a person’s character, say nothing at all’ get lost?” —California
“Based on the information you have provided here, I agree with you, Nate. This may backfire on Vivek. I hope it doesn’t cost him the race.” —Texas
Re: The Face-Palm of the Trump-Deranged Expats
“America should be vetting immigrants on whether they are compatible with our founding creed. These disillusioned leftists probably don’t meet that criteria, and compassion doesn’t even factor into it anymore.” —Michigan
“They need to get in line with those who even now are marching north toward our border believing DSA will return.” —Armed Forces Americas
“We should seriously make an effort to vet these losers before we let them return. They have already made their choice, and we do not need to import more allies for the enemies of this country that we already have, walking among us.” —Utah
Re: It’s Not ‘Islamophobic’ to Question El-Sayed
“Phobia is an irrational fear. There is good reason to fear an Islamist: never forget 9/11.” —Texas
“We must not forget that Islam allows and encourages its followers to lie to those who don’t follow.” —Florida
Re: Medicare for All Is a Huge Mistake
“Do people think that Medicare for All will be free? We are retired and on Medicare. Last year my husband and I spent $12,000 on premiums, deductibles, and healthcare that isn’t covered. This year we are looking at closer to $15,000. Medicare isn’t free, and Medicare for All won’t be free, either. Don’t parents teach their children that there is no such thing as a free lunch anymore?” —California
“I totally agree with your article, but as a Republican, I would like to see a complete, detailed healthcare equivalent to combat the Democrat plan. I think we need it.” —Michigan
Re: Don’t Believe the Polling Hype
“Short-attention-span, low-information voters are as interested in being part of the ‘winning’ team as they are investing the time to seek truth. Pollsters preload these people with the preferred data and let their lazy character do the rest. Seems that there is money in generating voters regardless of the means.” —Washington
“It seems to me that a person who votes based on polls shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all.” —Tennessee
Re: California’s Billionaire Tax Threatens All
“So many here in California refuse to read the fine print of any proposition; they simply look at the title and the media labels of the same. In this case, they are being led down the primrose path just like lemmings being led by the Pied Piper. It’s truly sad that California has so many ignorant folks, and sadder still that they can vote.” —California
“A wealth tax is unconstitutional. When the U.S. implemented the estate tax, it was held to be unconstitutional. But it was ultimately allowed because it’s actually an excise tax — a tax on the transfer of wealth.” —South Carolina
Re: Slotkin Warns Young Republicans
“So, Ms. Slotkin is threatening those of the opposition party with prosecution just for serving in an administration. We are seeing just how well the previous legal challenges to President Trump and his allies are playing out in the courts. Their game has gotten old and is unraveling. She obviously had a comfortable atmosphere to discuss her radical views in Chicago, but elsewhere in the country, that dog won’t hunt. Conservatives not only don’t like to be threatened, but we tend to bite back. Keep talking, Elissa; I want to hear more.” —Montana
“The people of Michigan should be ashamed of electing this communist scumbag as their senator! They should recall her, and she should be investigated and charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government.” —South Carolina
Re: The Demos’ Lunatic Midterm Lineup
“An excellent summary of the political swings that have gotten us to this crazy season. The context is very helpful.” —California
Re: Profiles of Valor: Capt John Walmsley (USAF) MIA
“Thank you, Patriot Post team, for this outstanding profile on another brave American airman — from a proud supporter!” —Minnesota
