IS OUR NATIONAL WILL 'WILTING AWAY?'
I tend to agree with the author here. The more things change the more they are the same. I can imagine that my parents parents railed on them for the same things they railed on me for. Each generation believes the next is losing touch and so on. We have a great many problems to deal with for sure, but the arguments made by Breitbart seem to paint our population with a broad brush. There are a good many in this country who hold "old fashioned" values and would gladly stand up for this country. They are lost behind the noise created by the media and vocal minorities. When the crap hits the fan these people are the ones volunteering to go in and clean up. They are not limited by age or socio economic stereotypes they are just Americans.

I HAVE COME NOT TO PRAISE CAPITALISM BUT TO BURY IT
I cannot conceive of a conservative that would think that larger government with more control on business is a sound plan of action. These companies that followed a now failed business model should be allowed to fail. We are passing the buck on these toxic assests instead of removing them from the books. Sooner or later they will rear their ugly heads and we will be back full circle. Government has no place in a free market. The meddlings of Franks, Dodd and many others is in fact the reason we are here. Bush started this bailout mentality and Obama has gleefully followed suit. They have both done a great disservice to this country. Flame away.

ON FAILURE - OBAMA'S AND AMERICA'S
It matters not what I want, the truth is his policies will fail, must fail. His policies are based on fleecing the "rich" and helping the poor, growing government while destroying the tax base by which he hopes to expand governemtn. It is a myopic and doomed philosophy. You cannot continue to bleed the beast while trying to ride it accross the finish line. I hope he fails but having said that it is a forgone conclusion that he will. It's kind of like betting on the chances that the evening news will contain depressing stories. We can hope against hope that it wont but when you turn it on you know what you are going to find.

Rush is certainly not the face of the party, having said that he is part of the party. We are begining to do what we had always hoped the liberals would do, tear ourselves apart from within. We have a glorious once in a lifetime chance here to prove to the country that Liberalism is a failure. All we have to do is survive intact. lets cut out this infighting and try and protect our country for a while.

The focus should be on conservatism and not party affiliation. In that aspect I agree we can reach accross the board because I know that there are conservative democrats that are extremely uncomfortable with where Obama is leading us. They are not likely to stand up for those beliefs in the current climate for fear of being steamrolled. It is conservative principles that made the country great not republicans. Only when republicans followed these principles did they suceed i.e. Newt and his contract with America. They failed because they broke the contract. I love Rush and Newt. Mainly because if they do nothing else they bring attention to the problem that we have as conservatives. I don't know what the right path is for sure and only time will be able to tell. I hope we choose wisely. I think a concerted turn back to conservative principles will begin to heal our credibilty. That is the place to start.

THE POST MY DETRACTORS WISH I HAD WRITTEN ABOUT THE TEA PARTIES
"Tea Parties" are symbolic nonsense. You know, the kind of thing leftists without jobs living with their parents while taking goverment loans to attend college so they can work for the U.N engage in. The radical agenda of B. Hussein Obama and this loser Congress run by Pelosi and Reid will do more to destroy the utopian Marxist dreams than these silly gatherings. The greatest danger was that Obama and his crowd actually would have taken a Clinton style approach and tried to have at least to appear moderate in some regard. His economic approach is indefensible and his foreign policy approach as confused as Rosie O'Donnel reading Popular Mechanics. These mistakes will cost him with the 1/3 of voters that put both him and Pelosi in power. The rhetoric of Rush and Ann simply fires up the Conservative base. Together, this will cost Obama dearly. The spending under Bush and the Republican controlled Congress cannot be defended. It could not be defended then as the Obama spree cannot be defended now. The difference is that no one ever expects Democrats to care about spending. They expect it of Republicans. If Republicans don't deliver as was the case during the tenure of Bush and the Republican Congress we can expect losses again. Conservatives and Republicans will gain in 2010 and 2012. We must hold them accountable when they do.

First off, I voted for Obama and I still believe in the issues that formed the platform of his campaign. With that said, I applaud any citizen for taking efforts to get his/her voice heard. What I find disturbingly lacking, even amidst the Jindal response to Obama's address, is any cogent plans to do things differently. Our country is in uncharted waters economically. No one, and I repeat no one, has a monopoply on the prescription for getting us out of it. What we do know is that the country has voiced the belief that doing the same things and placing a blind faith in the "invisible hand" will jolt this economy out of its downward spiral.
So, keep up the protest, but avoid stale talking points like: socialism, liberalism, spreading the wealth, welfarism, class warfare, from each according to his ability-to each according to his need....
These trite soundpoints just make you look ridiculous. Focus on what should be done differently.

Not just generalities, philosophies, or ideologies, but specifics.
Your comment on Sharon Tate was uncalled for..her first movie Eye of the Devil was a slow moving movie but her portraying a witch was excellent for a first movie role..the way she altered her voice and of course she was beautiful to look at. She may have been learning as and actress but she had enough of what it takes to threaten Stars as famous as Elizabeth Taylor and several others..ask her sister? Sharon Tate was one of the most if not the most beautiful woman who ever lived and many have paid for a movie ticket just for that..could there be some jealousy?
Abthalutely yeth. I just adorrrrrrrred her, don't ya know? I mean, beeutiful girlths alwayths bring out the cat in me.

THE MORAL COWARDICE OF SARAH PALIN
williams was just trying to change the subject off of Ayres and Palin wasn't going to let him. She continued to get her point out about Bill Ayers being associated with Obama and being a terrorist. Good for her. She knows more than you about how the press works.

IN DEFENSE OF PEGGY NOONAN (AND OTHER CONSERVATIVE APOSTATES)
Noonan didn't apply the same scrutiny to Obama. She is so obsessed with Palin she completely overlooks Obama's lack of qualifications. This why she is considered to be exactly what she is. At least in this election all of the lukewarm RINO types can finally go away.
