Christopher Hitchens is extraordinary. Thank you, Mr. Gerson, you have made me cry.

Yea Pat! You are so right. A white policeman ran afoul of a prickly privileged Black VIP.

The more I hear about this, the more convinced I am.

The elite are going to marginalize themselves entirely if they keep calling incidents like this "racism". Absolutely ridiculous.

Policemen risk their lives every day to protect us for little compensation or appreciation. This policeman was not wrong - he was doing his job.

I totally agree with FeargalX - the war in Iraq was a gift to Iran; Bush demanded a "democratic" election in Gaza and they elected Hamas. Thanks, Neocons.

Pitino and his one night stand made a choice which is still legal in the United States. Obviously, it's not the choice that you would have made, but not everyone agrees with you.

But Edwards - hasn't he ever heard about birth control?

Conservative men have nothing to brag about when it comes to their treatment of women.

Most men would profit from taking to heart, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

After all, we are half of the population.

Affirmative Action was designed to encourage equality of OPPORTUNITY. Now there is affirmative action to get into COLLEGE, then to get into GRADUATE SCHOOL, then to get a JOB, then to get a PROMOTION. And the goal is no longer equality of OPPORTUNITY but equality of RESULTS. Something got screwed up along the way,and the decades of this pernicious form of DISCRIMINATION should end. It was wrong when it was the other way around and it is wrong now.

I am a 67 year old woman who was wearing jeans and a blazer and I was frisked twice and had my luggage searched at the airport. What a huge waste of time and manpower. The Israelis PROFILE to stop terrorism at their airports. Why are we searching grandma types and little kids?

This stupidity did not start with the Obama Administration.

If we can't even talk about how bringing in all of these people whose values and culture are incompatible with the American way of life, what will we do when they are 10% of the population like they are in France? It will be too late.

I love this country and I am so disheartened by what is happening.

We must all strive to protect Freedom of Speech.
