HAVE WE ALREADY ACCEPTED THE FACT OF AN IRANIAN BOMB
As a bankrupt declining power, it is a foregone conclusion that the U.S. will learn to accept all sorts of "facts." Thankfully, we are a therapeutic culture and can learn from tyrannical Middle Eastern Moslem nations, they have so much to teach us and will.

RUSH AND RACE: THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY
Limbaugh's outburst would be a yawner in Democratic circles. The rule of law, the 3 branches of the government and economy are rapidly are under assault and thoughtful members of the right are debating Marquis of Queensberry rules. Get a grip it is not as if Limbaugh is a czar with broad and sweeping input into the policies of the administration.

THE ROLE OF RACE IN OPPOSITION TO THE PRESIDENT
Very good observations Rick.

There is a tendency for blacks and whites critical of the other group to enlist the opinion or tacit approval of their view from Hispanics and Asians. There are things said around my wife (who is asian0 about blacks that leave her stunned. She will get the birther emails periodically as well. Silence is better because to openly disagree means to be shunned. To agree with something she finds offensive is dishonest.
As to your points I absolutely agree.
PALIN'S OUTRAGEOUS DEMAGOGUERY: WHY NOT? EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT.

FERMI WAS RIGHT: SO WHERE ARE THEY?
Nice article. I also enjoy thinking about things like this.
I read something at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/11/081105-dark-flow.htmlthat raises some questions about what is tugging at the universe. Pretty interesting I thought.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE DATE NIGHT IN HISTORY
I keep wondering at what point the public at large will get sick of the attention paid to this couple. I was at the store yesterday and saw a picture of Michelle on Time Magazine (I know shockah!) and couldn't help but put a mental caption on it which read "Scientists discover Michelle's gas cures cancer"...

The fundraising and video tributes to the Obamas before 2012 may need to be R rated.
SMALL TOWN HEROES FROM THE HEARTLAND

REPORT FROM THE FRONT: PRAGMATISTS HAVE NO SOUL
"What hills are you “moderates” willing to die on?"
How about the hill that we trust the instincts of the voters at the local and state level to have a better influence on moral/ethical issues such as abortion rather than making it a holy grail for the party platform?

That's the ironic thing about the far left and far right -- each side wants to have their choice foisted on the people by the central government. Some nagging voice in their mind makes them worry that putting it to the states would not result in the ideological pure version of what only a true conservative or liberal "knows" is the right answer for 300 million citizens.
Rick,

Another excellent piece. The adults just are not in charge of the GOP anymore. I think the only real way back is through someone like Gingrich. He can at least articulate both sides of a position and then persuade people why his approach is better.
But... he's been divorced I think.Never mind shun him to the forest while the mob screams Sarah!
THE MORAL PARAMETERS OF TORTURE
Here's a question; would force feeding pork (organic and bite-sized of course)to a devout Islamic battlefield combatant or known master mind of a "man made catastrophe" be considering torture?
