MacKinnon - stop trying the rationalize the irrational. Liberals have a mental disorder, and it's best not to try making sense of it with some new acronym.

Years ago, we referred to crazy people as simply "crazy" or "mental". There was no need for some politically-correct diagnosis or to even find the root cause of the insanity. Don't try to reason with insanity.

Beautiful post. Thank you.

Who is Kathleen Parker? Seriously? Somebody please tell me, I've never heard of her.

The Constitution and its Amendments are such trivial things.

"Our taxes show how much we care."

Robert,

For eight years, US policy was to treat Iran as a fringe, illegitimate, rogue nation.

You say that didn't work - fine.

So now for six months we've tried an approach 180-degrees different.

And not a darn thing has changed about Iran. In fact, you could argue that they are more dangerous now than ever.

This would teach the rational person that Iran is going to be Iran no matter what we do. So why would you choose the behavior that only weakens the US? Of course, you don't seem all that rational, so I'm sure it's lost on you.

Robert, you asked, "Do you really want a doctor that is completely free of regulation? He wouldn't even need to go to college."

Would you go to a doctor who didn't attend medical school? An untrained person opening up a medical practice with no training would not have very many patients, and therefore would go out of business. That would be taken care of by the free market, and would not require government at all.

Would you hire an attorney who didn't pass the bar exam? Would you hire a contractor who didn't have any references?

Believe it or not Robert, you are capable of making those decisions for yourself without the aid of faceless bureaucrats, and so are most other people.
