Thank You, Sidney
[Read the article: Bush's Brezhnev period]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sidney, you've brought great joy to my morning news and coffee session. Thanks for an insightful, on-point analysis.
Why is it we cannot find great minds like yours to fill seats in the House, Senate and Oval Office?

Could Alito Surprise Us?
[Read the article: What the hell happened?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm coming in late to this discussion but occasionally, patience pays dividends. I am/was no fan of Alito, or anyone else of the Bush cabal, but Alito's first day on the Bench provided quite a pleasant surprise for progressives. While one day's actions are by no means worthy of establishing a benchmark, who knows, we may indeed by surprised by the direction Alito takes the court.
It has happened before......

Shame On Us
[Read the article: Video from Abu Ghraib]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As a true patriot and American I am sickened, disgusted, shocked, horrified and filled with self-loathing and shame that these are things done in my name. I am even more ashamed that so few have done so little to stop these madmen from continuing....
May the bastards who perpetrated these crimes against humanity be brought to a swift and honorable justice-and they should be thanking their lucky stars that we do not exact an eye for an eye vengeance for this....

The Similarities Are Astounding
[Read the article: Domenech apologizes for plagiarism -- and for "obfuscation" in defense]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Whew. I just visited the blog in question to read for myself the response by Mike Krempasky and subsequent comments. I must say, the vitriol and hate of angry, frustrated and ignorant conservatives positively reverberates off of the page and attacks the faculties of the reader.
What strikes me most about reading posts and comments by individuals like those writing and posting on RedState is the eerie similarity of writing style and commentary they have to various racist hate sites I have stumbled upon in the past.
As I read a sampling of posts on RedState, I was overcome with the same kind of gut-wrenching fear and sickness I experienced the first time I stumbled upon a White Power hate site many years ago. The ignorance, combined with the roiling undercurrent of hatred for anyone not sharing the same ideology, coupled with the sense of potential violence these people are capable of (think Abu Ghraib supporters and death penalty proponents) left me utterly shaken to the core and fearful of my fellow Amerikan.
Thank the gods that these people, although extremely vocal—just like the KKK—are also a small minority—just like the KKK. The more we expose them for their duplicitous actions and hatemongering, the more we educate those who might be duped into following them.

As Worthless As Box of Handleless Hammers--and About as Smart, Too.
[Read the article: George W. Bush on the lessons learned in Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Good grief, THIS is the person leading our country?!? I am ashamed of my fellow citizens for allowing an idiot like this anywhere near the White House and absolutely mortified anytime this moron opens his mouth.
Worse, I have discovered what Woodrow Wilson understood so well; the vast majority of our population is ignorant and the bulk of the ignorant vote.
God, please protect us all from your followers....
