Comment on The Perversion of American Democracy: Death by a Thousand Cuts by Dan L

Hal; as your friend…like ‘Gene,’ I – too, admire your ability to express complex and important issues in such a profound and insightful manner.

Someone has said, ‘tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions.’ It goes without saying that tolerance – as open mindedness – is beneficial, but when people make tolerance – and its 1st cousin, ‘political correctness’ – supreme, the resultant lack of conviction adds grease to the slippery slope away from embracing fundamental liberty, personal responsibility, and policy by referendum – to accepting ‘central command and control.’ As Thomas Paine said, ” if one expects to enjoy the blessings of liberty, one must first undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” Dan in KC

Your Obama Reel covered almost all the side-steps, but let’s not forget the Black Panther voter intimidation case. This should be the ultimate bete noir for Holder and the President

Please tell the blockheads in Washington to stop redistributing American wealth to the rest of the world because we urgently need it for ourselves, our wealth being: capital, intellectual capital, industrial capability which is the ability to create and sustain wealth and finally jobs (the labor component of wealth creation). All of these forms of wealth are being exported and its time the government (yes, the government) put the brakes on its wanton destruction of this country.

Comment on Lessons from the Stimulus Plan: There’s A Better Way by Herbert Lippitz

Well put!
I am terrified at the prospect of what the lame duck congress will foist upon us after the election.
I have a wish. I would like every elected and appointed government office holder to take and pass a test on the Bill of Rights and the Constitution before being sworn in and then every two years as long as they hold office as a condition of performing their public duties.
The Bill of Rights should be read during all debates that are presented to the public. Sections should be used as points of questioning.
That’s quite unorthodox but a strong way to make points or dispute positions.

I had dinner with my French friends here in Paris and they spoke of their patriotrisms for their country, but agreed they should of not taken on the European union of economics and wished they had gone in the direction of the US economics. He is in the Aviation market and feels this has caused an increased stress on his already suffering industry. I applaud your sentiments.. Merci
