That 5-tour NCO North interviewed has it exactly right. There's one thing he doesn't know. The vast majority of older Americans from age 70 to 100 and the others from 60 to 70 appreciate and love what the warriors are doing, even if the politicians don't---especially the Democrat politicians. But it was ever thus, except during World War II (which I remember as clear as a bell!), when even FDR relaxed his socialism to the degree he loved and respected the troops. It was the country he disliked.

If a group of people have ever been out of touch so totally, as a group, it is the group that makes up the National Democratic Party. They're out of touch with reality, God, morals, ethics, and law. Whoopi is just one good example of them.

That's because today's schoolteachers---ninety-five percent of them---are jokes.

No one asked me to run for president, but if I was running I would make it absolutely clear that I would never support a so-called Palestinian state and that any attack on Israel would be considered an attack on America.

The first ask is to eliminate Obama, the second to eliminate Romney, and the third to eliminate the so-called Democrat Party. Might be good to eliminate Muslims in America as well, but right now Democrats are a greater threat.

In a radio interview with Greg Garrison (WIBC, Indianapolis) Victor David Hanson said that to prepare for a column on the "debate" he reviewed six hours of Obama encounters in debate format with other people in the past. He said Obama did nothing different this time, that he was just being who he is and was and behaving the same way, and that the difference this time was that he could not offer "pie-in-the-sky" or hope and change because he has a record. So his usual act did not play and he could not charge Romney with being who he later said was not Romney because Romney was right there to dispute him. He added that Obama had never been challenged directly before, because he has always been surrounded by adoring yes people.

Well, Galen, I'm proud you like the Nationals, but I think most Americans hate them---as they hate the Redskins---because they're in Washington, D.C., the most corrupt city in America. I could be wrong. Maybe it's just me.

From my own observations I expect Romney to win in a landslide, but if he does do as I expect, what then? Will Mr. Romney act to restore the Republic or will he behave as a RINO, sending the U.S. down the statist road to more and more socialism? Or to the inevitable: Secession by more than half the states?

I have to admire Bruce's admiration for fighting the government school system, but what is this sissy stuff about getting a thrill when he meets a politician. Politicians are, sadly, necessary in this world, but nearly all of them are scum. Getting a thrill? Jeez Louise.

Clearly you do not know the history of Socialism/Communism. Marx believed that socialism was the first step to communism, and Lenin acted to make it so. You also likely don't know about the differences between the First International and Second International. And you call yourself a Progressive. All so-called Progressives are socialists becoming communists.

Baisley is wrong on so many historical points that it would require too many words to point them out. Let me say this, however. It was Lincoln's Republicans who favored a strong central government opposed to individual rights, and Democrats who supported a weak central government that guaranteed individual and state's rights. The title of this silly and ignorant (154 Years of Progress Uninterrupted by Common Decency) is a lie as well. As a political party the Democrats were right in 1859 and did not begin to be infected with the ideology of strong central government until Woodrow Wilson. For them it has been a slide into socialism ever since.
