As commentator "StalkingHorse" points out,Most of the black community is Marxist or Communist or terrorist supporting black supremacists. Anyone who opposes these positions is referred to as a racist. Too bad most blacks are still on a plantation - the plantation of the democrats where blacks with no skills, no knowledge, no work habits, etc. demand increasing amounts of welfare. If Blacks wonder why increasing numbers of whites hate their guts, they should examine their political beliefs as manifest by Jessee Jackson, Barak Obama and Al Sharpton. Moreover, increasing numbers of whites have absolutely had it with the racist label and they will be loudly voicing their opposition to terrorist supporting, Marxist, communist blacks who...

Inthe Majority cited "positive temperatures" across the Western US as suppporting global warming. These "Positive temperatures are all below 32 degrees F. Thus they are all freezing temperatures. IN the Majority doesn't seem to even know at what temperature freezing occurs using the Farenheit scales. The temperatures were not calculated in Centigrade where freezing is 0 degrees. Learn your thermometer scales in basic 6th grade science classes. Your advanced degrees are clearly utterly worthless. Don't even try to talk about global warming until you can master what celcius and farenheit temperature codes are and what they can tell us.

To Just A Guy:
Only a marxist-communist traitor or an illiterate fool could spout this line. Obama supported the Iranian government and wimped out on the revolutionaries. In Honduras, he supported the Marxist Communist government and condemned the military for seeking to enforce the countries' constitution. If you can't see a pattern of support for totalitarian communist or islamofascist rule in this, you are either a moron or a complete Obama dupe. You certainly don't have any reasoning skills. The US could and should have provided support to the Iranian dissidents, moral at least, but clandestine arms shipments through third and fourth parties at most. The Obama administration should have been on the side of the Military in...

It is profoundly disturbing to read the ahistorical, anti-fact diatribe of paranoidmystic in CA. Based upon your demographic and your ideas, I would say that you, like Michael Jackson, live in a drug induced stupor, accompanied by senility, emotional instability, irrationality, cognitive dysfunction and probably a whole host of physical disorders. The government of Iran is insane, whether it be ACK!!!! vomit!!! or the genocidal, misogynist mullah's who long to murder the entire world. Anyone who would argue on their behalf or the behalf of our traitorous President needs to be signaled out for public shame and humiliation. Bring back the public stock!

What a welcome topic - a discussion of everyday virtues and especially one that former Americans had in abundance, until the past 30 years - GRIT. I was fortunate to have great great grandparents, great grandparents, grandparents and parents who settled Utah in the 1850's - all of whom had true grit. As a result, I was lucky that they taught me how to "just keep going," despite the fact that I faced daunting odds of discrimination in getting a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in the early 60's as a female. My entire life has benefited because I and my husband, both came from families with grit. Many thanks to Mr. Greenberg for this testimonial, and for acquainting me with the journal "Character,a journal of everyday virtues" to which...
