Isn't it interesting that for Bernstein O and his fascist band of tyrants has only become "naughty" since they encroached upon the rights of journalists. Apparently it was A-OK that millions of citizens had their rights encroached upon by a tyrannical, over-reaching government. .

Grassly might have more credibility if the House and Senate hadn't both passed, one unanimously, the other without objection, the repeal of certain financial disclosure reporting requirements of the Stock Act. It's OK for Washington insiders to trade and profit on insider information, but it's not OK for political intelligence reporters to do the same? More DC hypocrisy. Shame on you, Grassly!!! http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r113:1:./temp/~r1139ftll1:: http://lacrossetribune.com/news/local/new-legislation-repeals-part-of-walz-s-stock-act/article_741f24c6-a967-11e2-9eb6-001a4bcf887a.html?comment_form=true

Good point, Traitorbill

I find it implausible that O & his merry band of knuckleheads fail to understand how untrustworthy and dangerous Putin is. Which, leaves me with no other conclusion than that our pro-fascist, pro-Marxist administration truly does want to "level the playing field". Which, of course, imperils every single American Citizen. One needs only to listen to Putin's speeches to Russia's citizens over the course of the past five years, or note the Stalinist moves Putin has taken against his pro-capitalist political foes to glean his true sentiments about the U.S.A. The "Cold War" never ended in Putin's mind.

Well said!!!

cont.: As I see it, the RNC fatally shot itself in the foot when it agreed to the consent decree in DNC v. RNC (see: http://judicialview.com/Court-Cases/Civil-Procedure/Democratic-National-Committee-v-Republican-National-Committee/10/201975). The then party leadership hobbled the future party from being able to fight election fraud, rendering it forever impotent, and destined to die of obscurity. I believe that the only hope for the United States of America is a "COMMON SENSE PARTY", and if no such strong 3rd party emerges, then the USA is destined for a two-state or regional state solution. There simply can be no compromise between Conservatism and Progressivism/Marxism. We remain as ideologically fractured today as we were in 1776!

I am a registered Republican, yet align more as a libertarian-leaning Conservative, as well as TEAParty. I am just now finishing a decade in the state/county GOP, and upon completion of my term and election of my replacement, will be changing my party affiliation to "Independent" because I am done committing my $, time & resources to "the party of stupid". I worried when the T.E.A. Party first emerged as a confluence of everybody but Progs & Nouveau-Commies, that the GOP would blow the opportunity by ramming both Prog candidates, AND religiosity down the throats of the fresh blood, believing that "WE" are lock step w/ the Rockafeller, Prog GOP wing. Now, the media has "alinskied" TEA, and the GOP are left wondering what went wrong. Duh!

Conservative Democrats, Republicans, "little L libertarians", Libertarians. and unfortunately a small contingent of Anarchists are who constitute the T.E.A. Party. In other words, all but Progressive & Nouveau-communist Americans.

Mr. Hanson's argument against Affirmative Action is logical and well reasoned. Of course, that won't matter to the nouveau-commies, who fight feverishly to maintain Affirmative Action as the status quo. I'll add, in defiance of the US constitution, as well as justice or fairness. Isn't it funny how those who call themselves "Progressive" are, in fact, quite conservative about protecting their "progress"? Affirmative Action will not go the way of the dinosaur until such time that the courts become backlogged with Civil Rights cases filed by Caucasian plaintiffs against a government that violates the "Equal Protections Clause" as a matter of due course. The choice? To start the assault w/Affirmative Action or "Progressive taxation"???

Re: comparing Reagan and Judd? The difference is substance. History is something that lefties typically rewrite rather than study, but in the case of Reagan v. Judd, there really is no comparison. Reagan's 40+ years involvement in the political arena prior to becoming president included eight years of executive experience as the governor of California, service in the U.S. Military, a wildly successful career, and a college education in Economics and Sociology. To Ashley Judd's credit, at least she graduated from high school, unlike so many of her Hollywood elite nouveau-commie buddies.She went on to college but unfortunately for us, her academic major in college was French. To say nothing of the nepotism that launched her career!
