There are many key phrases (sound bites?) that should become the mantra for Mitt Romney. Especially significant is the last one - "If economic disparity is a problem, then the way to solve it is by raising those who are stuck near the bottom, not tearing down those who have climbed to the top." Well done Mr. Jacoby

John, I am surprised at your answer to Comrad Cane. In his second sentence he showed that math is not his forte. He mentions a THIRTY YEAR PERIOD between 1945 and 1965. When I went to school (admittedly long ago) that was a TWENTY YEAR PERIOD.

While I think that most of MTV's programming panders to sleaziness, we must always remember that the ultimate control must remain in the hands of the parents and viewers. It is known as either the channel selector or the on-off button.

As Voltaire said, "I may not agree with what you said, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" gets harder and harder to agree with in the face of the absurdities that abound. A gathering of Athiesists? The absurdities keep on growing. It is not important to believe in G-d. It is only important to know that G-d believes in you.

I have read and re-read Mr. Norris' column and cannot find any mention of the Executive Order number in question. I need this information in order to write to my congressmen.

Slow down folks. This is spiraling out of control. The government is not in control of marriages. When you receive your marriage license, you are essentially married. If you choose to consecrate the act in a church or synagogue that is your choice. You could just as easily have the license signed by a civil judge. The government should not condone or oppose a lifestyle. However the legal entanglements of property, etc. need to be addressed. This can easily be done with a civil contract. One of the main stumbling blocks is insurance coverage. A recognized civil union would allow for all benefits to be conferred just as it is done in a corporation or business. There is little if any difference.

Mr. Chapman, you should bend down, grab both of your ears and pull your head out of the sand. (When I began that sentence this was not the location of your head I intended). With each of the mentioned nuclear powers that precedes Iran the world was looking at predictable enemies with tried and true scenarios. Unless the western world wakes up from their false and dangerous dream that Islam has the same predictability as previous western thinking foes, the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent will look like an appetizer and we will be the main course.

Mr. Brown is incorrect. At the time of Jesus there were no such things as Christians. This term came into being some 300 years later when Constantine codified the religion. There is no such thing as a "Jew" for Jesus. If you believe in Jesus' deification as the son of G-d then you are correctly known as a Christian.

John Ransom's column should be aired on all channels several times a day from now till the 2012 elections.

Just as PM Netanyahu had to give Obama a history lesson, so, too, it seems as if Ms. Glick has to give everyone else a lesson. Land-for-peace is and always has been a charade. Just as history tells us in days long ago, when the Jewish people were divided we were led away and cast out, so are we divided today. An overwhelming majority of American Jews still support Obama. If we could only unify we would see HaShem's strength deployed again against our foes.
