Finally the truth of sites like TownHall and people like Makin is made public---they are selling a philosophy and we are their customers. It is not about what is right or effective political leadership, it is about making money off of followers. Every day I get an email from TownHall trying to sell me on some worthless stock or book. This column, that says only spend money with her and those she approves, reveals the real truth---lining her pockets with the cash of those seeking conservative solutions is all she is concerned with.

"Our Blacks are Better Than Their Blacks" Who exactly is "our" and who is "their"? I may agree, but the natural response is: "maybe so, but it is the "your" whites like Ann Coutler who really suck"

History moves forward diametrically---that is, it bounces from "thesis" (tax law is too compliated!), all the way to the other extreme "antithesis" (No tax laws!) and settles into a "synthesis" (tax law reform). True reform is the synthesis that solves the problem and is not just a knee-jerk opposite reaction to the problem at hand. Worshipping at the "cult of simplicity" is simply some Bizarro World response to too much taxes and is as dangerous as the problem it is trying to fix. Also, it is only the opposite of the problem and not a new way to solve the problem. We have to do better . . .

you are a liberal...you are liberal with your ciritcism, you are liberal with the idea that no corporate regulation at all is a good thing, you are liberal with the idea of less government is a good thing. Those are liberal ideas. The problem is the demonization of words like liberal---that is a very politically-correct thing nowadays (and a liberal concept) The reality is, people are a mixture of conservative and liberal ideas and never 100% liberal or 100% conservative, except in the world of media. When people get out of the media world and into the real world it is a very different place and runs on different rules.

Right...and who is the mob? Someone who tries to bring civility into a conversation or trash-talkers? Those who wish to turn civil conservatism into gangsta conservatism prove Pat's point---bad behavior is contagious and no solution to anything.

Anne is just jealous that the mob she tries to incite doesn't get enough media coverage. "Sunken-chested 19-year olds"? Puhleeze, make your point without being offensive or sexist. Which is the point----she writes a column for an audience she hopes to keep angry enough to support her. I may not agree with her at times but decent people don't call her a flat-chested, dirty, and pointless. She may not like their point, but personal attacks are rude and elitist regardless of who uses them to insult their opponents.

How about moving along with the management of government and society from the perpetual state of being offended and outraged? If people are offended by TV comments, turn off the television or change the channel. Stop being victims.

It is what it is. As a Christian, I am not outraged he was correctly labeled a right-wing Christian fundamentalist terrorist. I see no need to defend myself to others, most people know the actions of a terrorist do not necessarily demean a whole group. But the door swings both ways so I suspect those who want to paint all Muslims as terrorists feel threatened when a terrorist labels himself a Christian. I don't believe the Norway terrorist reflects majority Christian values any more than I believe alQueda terrorists represent the majority Muslim faith. Isn't that what the 1st amendment spirit is all about?

What is the reason only 12% of the law has been implemented?

"the mob"...as in, "we the mob of the United States, in order to establish a more perfect union..." Glenn Beck proclaims himself to be a public figure, all public figures are set upon by paparazzi, fans, and critics. To characterize that a polarizing public figure like Glenn Beck will be ignored in public is what is unreasonable. If it were a "mob" of those who agree with him, then apologists like Ann Coulter would be all for the free expression of the public in a public place. But, if the public disagrees, they are a "mob." C'mon, folks, it's about time that those who make a multi-million dollar income by inflaming passions between ordinary people like ourselves be called out as instigators for their own profit, and not...
