The Silliest Stories of 2010

You, my dear, score high; above Ms. Maddow, and above ever-so-slightly D. Frum. It is a pleasure to read someone in Town Hall who sees with a refreshing eye on tired topics. These were each and all BIG stories. But many, perhaps all, are not silly and continue to lead me to question the supply-and-demand equation that also encourages money-for-nothing bondoggles where the winners are guaranteed and the losers pick up the tab so the restaurant they can't afford to go to doesn't close. Why are there so few ketchups/catsups and so many mustards?

Americans Still Cling to Ignorance

Mr. Hanson, did you intentionally support Mr. Kerry's assertion that people fall for slogans over substance with this Cling to Ignorance effort? By corrupting the context for your quotes (that works well on Fox), you limit support for your cause. In fuller context, the quotes could still work, but you'd have to work a little with the braino, not the Drano. But why bother: dropping a little red meat around an empty bowl of Cling to Ignorance has worked before. I've known you to make powerful, informed arguments; this was not one of them.
As one who has been called liberal, my response: national bankruptcy delayed till next round of Republican hypocrites take charge; legal abortion protects your daughters; the homosexual agenda looks like equal rights; your "overabundant" has not been skewered; how's that Mirandizing terrorists workin' for ya; radical czars compared to what---your sense of extreme? apologizes for the inevitability of error even in exceptional USA; restructuring car industry to become profitable; and on and on. You tire me with your insistence on our President's extremity. The tea party has grown and grown up a little. Your list shows a willingness to take a part for the whole, what many tea partiers complain about being done to them. Using that...
that what was good for me was good for everyone. When I found out that the United States was more complicated than multiplying my self by 300 million, I began to learn to respect different perspectives and sets of facts, even when no sense was being made. Now the madness of both sides can be released. One person, one vote, no matter how much or little sense you make. I have a long sports background as player and coach. I can not imagine telling my team that we will not show up because the other team cheats. Yet I hear that a lot these days from people I thought knew better. I absolutely look forward to the next election and will support the results, just as I did with Presidents from LBJ to BHO.

The "I'm rubber and you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" content of so many of these comments leads me to think that we ought to have elections and let the majority decide. Kind of like how Bush saved-destroyed the USofA and now Obama is doing the same. I'm looking forward to seeing how each day brings us closer to the next vote.

For years I've heard that adherence to the primacy of the Constitution was a conservative strength to contrast with the touchy-feely liberals. If such adherence constitutes liberal blinders, then I'm guilty. The law is for us all. Feel better?

I 90% agree w/ your WHPC assessment. The information selectors from the right have become significant players in the MSM. I can only go 10% with you on the CO2 crock. Yeah, ashot of Jack Daniels a day may be good for you, but I want a world that does not shove the whole bottle down my throat daily.

So does the USA impeach first and then secede? And how can the USA secede from itself? A vocal, distinct minority of lefties got all impeach-Bush as the war with terrorism developed, now sandwiched between the adults calling for BHO's impeachment and the actual shut-down-the-government, the President lied about oral sex. I'm hoping our country will remain one and overcome deeply partisan finger-pointing to bring some justice to our inequality. Whining about and threatening the other side helps neither the almighty one on the right nor the ill-treated many on the left.

Goodness, sir or madam, your "concept" spelling of our President's name and of the religion of 1 billion+ reminds me that the Golden Rule encourages me to behave as I would like to be treated, not how I am treated. To equate Nazis with Islam is another odd approach to world peace. Asserting your power by demonizing others works well if you want to fight. Of course some see American exceptionalism as just that. Acknowledging any "other" as equal becomes appeasement. But since you're not our president, your comments and those of like-minded real, good Americans, are not subject to "giving aid and comfort to the enemy = an impeachable offense." Real good, oh one of the sun.

The ol' Texas sharpshooter approach: fire a dozen shots at the broad side of a barn, then go draw a bullseye where each one hit. When measuring tolerance of inconsistency, yours is bigger than mine, Mr. You're not a Bigot are You. Your first bullet point from Limbaugh's Obama concludes: "We are a nation of laws not men." This bedrock becomes hollow when contradicted/equivocated by the Ground Zero mosque priorities. Course, if you breathe enough CO2, cuz it doesn't hurt you, you know, you will be plant food. Much like GWB, BHO does not govern by the endlessly polled "voice of the people." You remind me of the lefties who attacked the previous administration with cherrypicked distortion. I want to listen to criticism that moves...
