Irrelevant drivel. The Iraq War cost dwarfs in comparison to the social safety net spending in America.

Interesting. Did you not read a single word of this article? Everything you say is already refuted. BTW, learn to spell. Lack of ability to spell makes you look really "stoopid."

Americans can never thank their military enough. Dear God, their sacrifice and that of their families should cause all of us to fall to our knees in thanksgiving that such individuals are our fellow Americans. May God reward each of these men and their families, because we certainly will never be able to that sufficiently.

Wow, Lon, still stuck on stupid. Guess what, it's not the woman's body that is aborted, it is her baby's body that is killed. Her baby, the one that has a completely unique set of DNA and is altogether unlike hers. Not only that, why doesn't she control her body to begin with? I am sick and tired of paying for women who apparently regard sex as just another recreation to have an abortion. How about not having sex until she is married and ready for a baby. Novel concept nowadays, I know, but it does work.

Excellent article, as usual, Mr. Tyrell.

congratulations, James. All constituents need to rise up under these idiots. i venture to guess you would be in the Tea Party....

Thank goodness you "fled the GOP." Yeah, right. Your language gives you away.

Please look at the results that real professionals, such at those you listed, have and continue to accomplish. Then look at the products of our public schools. 'Nuf said.

Simply put, YES. I think a housewife and mother is wonderful and today is even counter-cultural. If my daughter put her family before herself, I would be immensely proud of her. Feminism is at root simply selfishness.

Edwin has a good point folks. It is true that too many women today are single mothers and this is a lousy way for kids to grow up. American adults need to return to a greater sense of responsiblity and self-sacrifice before they become parents. Single mothers are the new poverty class and no amount of feminist or liberal screaming about unfairness will change that. Get married first, then have kids. Why is this so hard to accept? Stay married once you are married. Is this also so hard? Well, yes it can be, but if Americans put there children first instead of themselves, they might work harder at their marriages. Ridicule the idea of the 1950s all you want, but kids were better off and our schools were better off for everyone. ...
