Mr. Ransom; re: your statement, "...our challenges are not economic in our country. They are political.", I respectfully disagree. Our core problem in this country is SPIRITUAL, and please note, I DID NOT say 'religious'.

Judge, I luv ya and I always enjoy hearing or reading your thoughts on current events. But with all due respect, Your Honor, members of the Roman Catholic faith have voted overwhelmingly Democrat for generations. Much like my brother Protestants who have voted Democrat and then wept over the murder of 50 million unborn, they don't seem bright enough to make the connection. Until they ARE able to come to grips with WHO allows and encourages abortion and stop supporting them, expect this move on the President's part to be only the opening salvo.

"During the Great Depression, America built the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge." Sorry I missed the original article. Interestingly, for anyone who bothers to check the facts on the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, it was done by a group that raised PRIVATE FUNDS due to the fact that the government DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO UNDERTAKE THE PROJECT.

I'd like to blame judges and lawyers, but the fact is when JURIES make huge awards for nonsense suits, we all suffer. Reminds me of a case in Broward County Florida about 25 years ago. An illegal alien from Jamaica was arrested and charged with possesion and intent to distribute cocaine. His attorney demanded the case be thrown out on the grounds that he was entitled to a jury of his peers and 12 illegals from Jamaica couldn't be found for jury duty.

"The graphic language boundary pushing has much to do with the fact that kids now listen to music largely through unfiltered sources..." It owes a great deal more to the Leftists who have spent the past sixty years demanding to be "liberated" from any moral standards. Congratulations Liberals, this is the "freedom" you've longed for and demanded. ENJOY!

"...foreign dictators of the right and left alike with equal rapacity, first Hitler and then Stalin..." Mr. Greenberg, in the interest of historical accuracy and integrity, please stop perpetuating the Leftist lie that Adolf Hitler and the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party were "right wing". Socialism has always been the weapon of choice of the Communists, Democrats, Leftists, Liberals, Marxists, NAZIs, Progressives, and Socialists to destroy liberty and enslave the peoples of any nation. Thank you. And have a blessed 2012.

should have been "Saga". So much for multi-tasking...

"THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING WIND PART I" I thought I was the only one who referred to the Twilight Sage as "Breaking Wind".

Is there any way that TH could block this spamming jacka$$, fashionggni?

Fascinating. Your Constitutional rights are being destroyed by the Emperor Barack the Magnificent and the only thing you see is that evil George Bush. Get your head out of whatever orifice you're keeping in and work towards restoring our liberties. Even if it means you'll need to stop worshipping your God/king
