No need to conjecture here- the lack of cojones among beltway Republicans is legendary.

Of course Lech Walesa is not welcome at the White House. He actually put his life on the line for Poland. Hardly new for politicians who manufacture hero images for themselves to be uncomfortable around real ones.

To the writer of this column- Do you really think what is in the North Korean Constitution matters a whit?

Mr. Hays- Lets put it this way. If you are reading this -thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English- thank a soldier. If you don't feel you can stand behind the troops- feel free to stand in front of them. And we do have words for people like you such "Coward" "Treasonous Scum", "Moron", "Jerk" - oh yes- I am NOT in the least bit uncomfortable in ascribing these toyou.

Don't overanalyze this. It is pretty straitforward. As is typical of a lot of organizations she was invited by liberals in the organization who expected the conservatives to behave like good little go alongs-i.e continue to contribute to people who despise them. Notice they were NOT going to allow anyone NOT a liberal to respond. DWS was going to do the typical liberal trick of mouthing the words of support for Israel while doing the exact opposite. This time a conservative who was one of the largest conservative contributors refused to be so dictated to. The Temple then had no choice as they HAVE to have the support of people like him to exist.

"In its complaint, Notre Dame explains that Obama secured passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") only by convincing "pro-life" Democrats that no one in his administration would use the act to fund abortions or force people to act against their consciences." And is anyone really stupid enough to believe these so-called "Pro-Life" Democrats didn't know exactly what they were voting for? They were never pro-life to start with. The voted that way in meaningless votes knowing courts would overturn it -and were in fact relieved when courts did. In the vote where it really counted who did they side with? The pro-abortion crowd.

So are the fools running Notre Dame resigning over their stupidity of a couple of years ago in inviting Obama as speaker. Or are they simply what I think they are- "Useful Idiots" who end up like useful idiots always do -betrayed as the suckers they are.

Yawn. THis co;umm can best be describes as "Taking Counsel Of Your Fears"

Uh- since the Nazis WERE anti-semitic your premise is silly- doesn't even merit consideration.

Not really. Newt had come off a brilliant performance going into Florida and just simply blew his entire campaign to bits over Bain. In any case- Romneys strategy was to let the conservative block get split up among multiple candidates- which would leave Mitt standing in the end. That strategy worked.
