You're right of course. Had he come back at me, I had already resolved to simply let the little fellow go under the catch and release philosophy of fly fishing.

We may only hope that he took my advice to heart, turned off his computer and is even now reading Jonathan Swift and seeing how silly it looks to capitalize common nouns.

"This has all added to the perception that Mr Obama’s soaring rhetoric — which captured the imagination during last year’s election — is simply not enough when it comes to confronting the myriad challenges of the presidency. His spectacular Olympic failure will only add to that."

is detached from the American people in a way no Congress in our history has ever been. It is like an occupying force, and operates like the 300 with little floppy eared Leonidas leading it into battle against the American nation. It doesn't care what the American people think or want, it is going to do preciesely what it wants to do and the people be damned. This government must be overthrown. We'll see if we can do it this coming November, and if we cannot, we will have to resort to more direct ways, but it must be brought to task.

You are, as you admit, but a boy and therefore unacquainted with the rules of your chosen political affiliation.

As a liberal, you have to not only be tolerant of homosexuality, you have to celebrate it, support it, and in certain liberal strongholds actually practice it. Therefore, you are not allowed to disparage those you hate by using perjorative terms referrring to popular homosexual practices.

You specifically cannot use the the term "teabag" as that refers to one man hungrily licking and sucking on the nutsack and balls of another. To use it as an insult is to insult your gay brothers in Liberal Land, and that, young fellow, is forbidden you as a left winger.

Hell, you may as call your hated enemies...

He knows the citizens of Nevada are not going to return him to the Senate. It's over.

For someone who has spent a lifetime in the contemplation of his own self-admiration, a peacock strutting on a mirrored stage, the sure knowledge that he is about to be swept off like a bad act at the Apollo is the equivalent to finding out one has had one's last erêction.

These, his final lashings out, the death rattle sounds of an impotent old man who nobody fears, nobody respects and soon nobody remembers are the just rewards of a criminal life spent lying, cheating, manipulating, and preening.

Good bye Harry. Yes, there will be a high school or two left with your name on them out in small town Nevada, but within a decade,...

Jesus, you worthless little tit on a warthog - have you ever even come? You keep pretending you're an adult which is stupid beyond measure because there has never benn an adult as uninformed, clueless, unsophisticated, and clueless as you outside of an institution for the mentally deficient. At least when we realize you're this stupid little kid who has been trained by the homosexualist left to spout whatever crap they have poured in your inferior skull, we can take some pity on you and hope that someday you may outgrow your adolescence - but you maintain this fiction that you are an adult, and one wishes only that John Steinbeck or Tennessee Williams might have lived that he could know you and model a fvkcing mental deficient...

Thank you for a thoughtful response. The fact that you would use the word "evangelical" in context of the late 18th Century in indicative of a 20th Century mind looking backwards with an insufficiency of background to make informed conclusions about what you are reading.

I can recommend to you as a very good piece of background historiography "The Age of Federalism" by Santley Elkins and Eric McKitrick (Oxford, 1993) which will give you a language by which competing 18th Century religious traditions might be properly approached.

In addition, though it may be out of print, David Hawke's excellent "The Colonial Experience" (Macmillan, 1985)has some fine chapters on the Reformation, the Great Migration, and some very good...

It's such a wonderfully improbable construct like "Spread Eagle Virgin" or "Gin Swilling Teetotaler." As if the two adjectives could co-exist. What a laugh.

Absolutely on your definition of the Liberal Littorals. Obviously not an inch of the Gulf Coast nor the Atlantic Seaboard south of the Potomac. Plenty of good harbors for everybody. Perhaps for the Left Coast we could rent some slips in the Port of Long Beach to serve the Inland Empire and points west of the Rockies that are ours, and if not we can simply deny them anything from the midwest farm belt. Not everything will require a nuclear exchange between us - not after we establish their dire need of us. Remember, they'll have all the social parasites and will be permanently impoverished.

with just one treatment and expect it'll go into remission. We'll have to hit this one again and again until it's dead. It's the kind of metastasizing thing that grows back unless poisoned repeatedly.
