I'm no fan of Rush Limbaugh, but the left-wing echo chamber is passing around a direct lie about what he said.

In context, it is clear that Limbaugh's remark was about one Jesse Adam Macbeth, a former darling of the anti-war left. He claimed to have witnessed terrible abuses in Iraq as a corporal in the Army Rangers. It turned out that Macbeth had never been in the Rangers, and his only involvement in the Army was to wash out of boot camp in 44 days. The anti-war zealots promptly forgot his existence as they sought out more convenient mascots.

Macbeth was a phony soldier, folks. He never want to Iraq, never served as an actual soldier. He flunked out of recruit training.

It's obvious the left is desperate for some sort of retribution for their MoveOn ad fiasco. The timing's very convenient. And if the facts don't justify the response, then to hell with the facts, right? That's something you like to claim that your opponents do, but here you are doing it for certain.

Go check out http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZTdhNzdlNmVlMjQ0ZDY1ZTAxOWU0NmM4YWQzMTQyNzQ= for the full text of Limbaugh's statement, and stop lying.

Phelps has finally offended a group of people who are unafraid to eliminate annoyances!

"Wayne Gresham is dead. A former VP at Gracen and Gracen, Incorporated, he was overworked, overweight, and now, well, just plain over."

Just wondering.

So many disingenuous folks here claim that this isn't an attack on hunting, that there is no slippery slope. Keep it up, fellas. Those of us who know enough to support the NRA have heard this nonsense from gun-grabbers before.

Funny thing is, the grabbers never specify where the slope ends. Certainly their hatred of hunters is unending; just look at all the ignorant generalizations in this thread. What would induce them to stop punishing those they believe are immoral? Libwits are neo-Puritans; lacking even the marginally civilizing influence of a God to temper their worst excesses, they criticize their neighbors' doings ceaselessly and rooting out traitors in theirt midst.

And every time you grabbers pass a new law, a new stupid restriction, your first statement is that this is "a good start". Tell us, then, where does it end?

The slope seems slippery because you are trying to grease the damn thing.

Responsible environmentalists know that the great majority of environmental lead poisoning is caused by lead wheel weights. Common experience is enough to validate the conclusion. We see lead wheel weights all over the place. How often do we stumble on lead shot?

This is a nasty bit of political opportunism. It's no different from the right wanting to defund PBS out of a feigned concern for saving money. This is a cheap way of striking at a culture you can't stand, folks. There's nothing "liberal" about that.

With friends like you, the environment needs no enemies. The NRA does more for conservation than you do, far and away.

Fortunately, this is one battle in the culture war that you are losing. Between some recent Supreme Court decisions and the demonstrated success of liberalized concealed carry laws (see what the word means?), you're getting tossed in the ashbin of history. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Consider the following excerpt from the movie "Max":

OFFICER: So, men, I want you on the street today, and here's the message: "Stabbed in the back."

ENLISTED MAN: By who, sir?

OFFICER: Who said that?

ENLISTED MAN: Me.

OFFICER: Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. What matters is that Germany is absolved from having lost the war and prepared to wage the next one. Fellow loses a game, he doesn't want to play anymore. You tell him he lost because someone else cheated, then you have to hold him back from picking up the cards again.

Given the party and the leader who emerged from this thinking, you might want to reconsider all of these accusations of treachery, this strange blindness to the idea that someone might legitimately disagree with you and that you are wrong. You've accused your opponents of being like that party often enough; are you truly ready to abandon that lie in favor of promoting this one?

The respondents who recommend finding friends through activities that interest you are giving better advice, dear letter writer, but forgive me for being delighted at Cary's prose and originality in his response to you.

I'm imagining you as Parker (the protagonist of the eponymous series of novels by Richard Stark, an alias of Donald Westlake), the cold-blooded king of heists, carefully assembling his team of specialists to take down the university. What a thought!

Whenever someone dares to criticize feminism for its bloated megalomania, its tolerance and promotion of outright misandry, and its habit of lying about the facts in order to promote its narrative, someone or another always chimes in with the notion that there are so many different kinds of feminism that it's impossible to apply any criticism to the movement in general.

Nonsense. If that were true, then one couldn't say anything positive about feminism either. People who spout this line are merely trying to make it impossible for critics of feminism to express their thought. It's a cheap trick, and it's crap.

"By their works shall you know them," and these are the works of feminism and feminists. Proponents of sexual equality are a lot more sensible than this.
