The goals of communists are antithetical to the goals of conservatives.

I agree. When are we going to stop beating around the bush and say outright that the president's plans for America are communist? Read The Communist Manifesto. It lays out the steps necessary to "transform" a country to align with the goals of the communist party and they've already ticked off many of these steps in America. We better wake up soon.

Should we lop off the feet of tall people so the short people feel better? Read Oleg Atbashian's great little book, "Shakedown Socialism," to see what else is coming if we continue to allow all this nonsense. We have come to a point where the only solution is secession by the conservative states. Leave all the far-left politicians, union people, media people, Hollywood scumbags, the entire LGBT sector, the environmentalists, all welfare recipients, and every other progressive person or group to their own devices while we conservatives get back to governing according to God's law and the Constitution and the Rule of Law, and see which society prospers and flourishes. There is no doubt about which society would be the stronger.

These two articles are very disturbing. The real target of these AA people is the Rule of Law itself. I wish every American over 18 was required to read Hayek's book, "The Road to Serfdom." If you haven't read it, go to the library and just read the chapter about the Rule of Law. These socialists/communists must get rid of the Rule of Law in order to realize their utopian paradise. Along with the demise of the Rule of Law, we'll get inferior doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers, teachers and, definitely, inferior leaders and politicians, even worse than we have now. And where will this quest for equality of outcomes stop? Should we throw acid in the faces of beautiful people so the homely will feel better?

You are right. Just look at the kinds of immigrants the liberals (and Ms. Chavez is no liberal, but she seems to want this too) want to allow into the country or give amnesty to. The majority are unskilled, uneducated, and can't speak English. Furthermore, they don't give a hoot about this country, its history, or its welfare. What kind of shape will we end up in if the newcomers to the country are so devoid of any talents or skills that they become burdens on the rest of us instead of contributors to society? What country would do this to itself? And to say this is racist to liberals.

This is an excellent article. Our culture needs an overhaul, and it must start with the parents and the schools. Unfortunately, millions of parents are mental adolescents, having themselves been raised by mental adolescents. Likewise, millions of teachers are also perpetual adolescents, having themselves been turned out by the failing schools they now work for, schools where they were pampered and babied and given trophies for achieving nothing. A perfect example of how we infantilize our society (and encourage its rude and petulant behavior) is the fact that obamacare allows "kids" to stay on their parents' insurance till age 26. At age 26, I had been on my own, working for three years, and had my own family.

I am a teacher--retired after 37 years in the classroom. For all those years, money was taken out of my paycheck every month, against my will, to finance the radical teachers' union. During those years, I saw the gutting of the curriculum, the dumbing-down of material, and the addition of nonsensical, noneducational activities to the school day. Now the failing, dumbed-down schools are turning out dumbed-down teachers to teach our kids, trapping our kids in ignorance and making them ill-prepared for life. Mr. Gallagher is right and you are wrong.

Wrong. The pyramids and other Egyptian monuments used to bring in tourist dollars, but no more. The so-called "Arab Spring" has killed the tourist industry in Egypt. Read the article in the May 2012 National Geographic magazine about this. The author of the article visited the tourist sites in Egypt. Gone are the tourists. Gone are the thousands of vendors who sold junk to the tourists. Egypt has killed its only real source of revenue.

Your last paragraph states exactly what has happened in the Fast and Furious scandal. Obama used executive privilege to immunize the DOJ.

Look up the Communist Manifesto. Eradicating religion is one of its tenets. For statists like Obama and the rest of the democratic party, God must be eliminated so that the State becomes the new god to the people. Call him what you want--a marxist, socialist, communist--he is a totalitarian at heart who is hell-bent to destroy America.

Read the chapter about the Rule of Law in Friedrich Hayek's book, "The Road to Serfdom." He accurately describes how progressives must undermine the Rule of Law in order to implement their left-wing agenda. Read it. Your eyes will bug out as you realize that you're reading about exactly wha't's going on today. Hayek was a genius and a prophet.
