Oh Mystic, really you trot out that old and false canard? "Christian inspired violence". What's so amusing about you and your ilk is that you have a religion, you just like to pretend you don't. You worship the creation in one way or another rather than the creator. But you blame fundamentalists for the worst in human history. I have news for you, Mao wasn't Christian, neither was Pol Pot, or Stalin, or Hitler, they recognized that the biggest threat to their regime was real faith in God and in the hereafter. And those wars you refer to in history, those weren't caused by real Christian faith or even inspired Christian behavior, they were caused by greed, or hate, or simple politics. Blaming them on Christianity is just the...

Amen Binc!

I think it is a phenomenon called "activated ignorance". This is a behavior that is related to emotional flooding and appears in many marriages, it is something that humankind is particularly susceptible. When they have been properly primed and emotionally prepared folks will no longer look at the fact or even accept them, they simply react to the flood of emotionally driven reflexive choices. Often in marriages this results in a complete inability to communicate over the simplest idea or matter. The endstate of "active ignorance" is contempt, where the contempt of the actvive ignoramus is the only thinking that goes on, ignoring any evidence that might counter long held assumptions or externally provided beliefs, no matter how...

It can't be said enough times, thank you for your clarity of thought, and this gentle warning that the current health care bill isn't the end of the threat to our health and prosperity by Obama and his Marxist Dogma. God Bless Mr. Krauthammer.

I believe we need to seriously examine this claim by the Libs. Our economy was doing fine with the current health care costs up until the banking collapse.

We really need to examine the reasons that the healthcare market place is not self correcting like a good free market capitalist system should be. Lawsuits, medicaid, medicare, health care processes that don't punish bad behavior by the consumer, aren't these the real culprits?

At any rate, voters should urge their elected representatives to provide some analysis of the problems in this system and tie proposed solutions to the identified causal factors, that hasn't and isn't happening.

Can this President look any smaller, his attitude, behavior, and decisions portray a creepy little man pretending to be President of the world's greatest democracy. We should all refer to him as "The Creepy Little President".

He's a sad little pathetic man, with the imagination of someone who's never challenged the ideas of others, and who's kept himself safely tucked away in an environment where his dogma was never allowed to be challenged.

Since he's obviously not going to be able to impose his disgusting vision on our country, he'll be one miserable bitter loser for the rest of his presidency.

Can't we just call him OBlame-A from now on? How can he still blame George Bush, he should thank Bush every single day, and he probably does in private. The problems that exploded during Bush's presidency are what got this buffoon into office, otherwise we'ld be blaming John McCain for our problems these days. Although I'm sure McCain would've done much much more to moderate the wackness congress seems intent on inflicting on us.

You would think from the attitudes of some blacks, that only the black race had ever been enslaved and brutalized for the profit of others. The fact is that many whites in this country immigrated here from conditions very similar to what slaves endured.

They were indentured servants, serfs, tract farmers in Europe, while not labeled slaves their lives were little better. Many in the middle east and parts of Asia live in comparable conditions in the present day, do we automatticaly give them a quota or advantage?

NO, they come work hard and succeed on their own merits.

200 years of slavery that ended 130 years ago doesn't seem like much of an excuse for reverse racism in present day America?

The most tragic part of this systematic racism is that it encourages low standards for certain minorities. One question not answered here is are these quotas applied to other minorities than blacks?

My experience in the Navy has been very negative in regard to this. In flight school black students were given "extra" attempts to pass curricula than whites. In my own case when going to a board for having two in flight "downs" or failures the kid sitting next to me, a black flight student, was there for his seventh down. The board told me in no uncertain terms, one more and I would be kicked out.

When screening for command, the command I was selected for was suddenly changed, the reason I was given, we needed more...
