In my opinion this is what the small portions of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” have brought you. They are good at “Follow the Leader” of their dullard leaders, they listen to Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush and Savage and the rest of the Blowhards. Are you surprise at what they do when you know what they think? The world is complicated and most republicans (Hamiliton, Lincoln, Roosevelt) believe that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. Although most republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe they have a long way to go.

When I was a kid they really pused the scientific method on us. They really lectured us on not allowing one’s hypothesis to force one’s conclusion. Has that stopped in schools?

Self awareness and critical thinking skills are in short supply on the left and in journalism (but I repeat myself) as evidenced by this being published by the same people who publish Andrew Sullivan, chief investigator of the Palin uterine conspiracy.

Hallett didn’t insert her name because it would have been Googled and on every blog from Joe’s Fishing Hut to HotAir (my guess, and this is purely speculation on my part, is she’s a source). Regardless, if he’s so interested in ending this Orwellian nightmare he so despises, I would have made her famous. Same with the rest.

Portman is doing the right thing and the people to whom Rufus is referring ought to have the opposite side following them like groupies after Motley Crue yelling their names and what their “jobs” are. That would pretty much end the practice right there. Hired guns…if I go to a rally and see a Dem filming…the shouting and pointing will commence and the D will be running away very fast. That’s how these trolls are dealt with. I did it to a Code Pink wench…and I gotta admit its fun.

“I had coffee last week with a delightful and intelligent young woman sent from Washington to Columbus by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.”

Yes, both sides do this, but good journalists would point this out and dog these carpetbagging losers until they leave town. See how well they hold up to scrutiny. I don’t care how charming they seem, they are low-lifes doing indecent work. Make them live by their own standards. Journalists ought to print their names and they ought to report on what they are doing.

He also never said slavery was evil and that the Holocaust was wrong. You are a Hitlerite Simon LeGree — or at least flirting with fascistic slave fantasies.

Portman’s got the right idea. Stay above the fray.

Flirting? I’m unabashedly for cannibalism. Babies? Two words – magically and delicious.

Passive unacknowledgment now passes as “flirting” in today’s day and age of hyper-partisan invective, at least according to The Atlantic Monthly.

You know, John, in all your writings here at Threedonia, you have never specifically said you were against eating babies. So I think it’s pretty clear that Mr. FNWayne is flirting with cannibalism.
