  • You got what you deserve

    [Read the article: Why Ronald Reagan didn't completely suck]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Reagan came after Carter, the worst bar none, President of the US since maybe Harding or Grant. You see people like to be an angry mob. After Nixon came Ford, Ford pardoned Nixon, so Carter got elected. But voting in Carter was maybe the stupidest thing Americans collectively have done, in the 20th century. So after 4 years of that goat rodeo they elected Reagan. Hell, the GOP could have run a hatrack against Carter and won. And what is the Dems response to that? Mondale and Dukakis. Wow.

  • Karl Rove, of course.

    It's axiomatic

  • I'm sorry I was busy today

    You know, controlling the United States government, owning all the media and the banks, poisoning the wells, that sort of thing. Carry on.

  • Overheated rhetoric aside

    Do you believe that we shouldn't maintain any control over our own borders at all?

  • I get the sense that

    [Read the article: Carville says Obama is likely nominee]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    We more or less object to and want to vaguely outlaw any difference of opinion whatsoever. Which is not entirely bad. There are some countries that get along pretty well with one officially blessed world view of everything. It can't be all bad.

  • Cold calling to complete strangers elicits abuse?

    [Read the article: Racism on the trail]

    Be still my heart. I never heard of such a thing. Why when Obama is Lord God of the Solar System we should criminalize all thoughts not approved by the Directorate of the Lord God Obama (DLGO)

  • We should nuke the Jews and be done with it

    [Read the article: Republicans twist Obama's statements about Israel]

    For peace and progress eliminate the disease. I'm with ya, Gordon, up the chimney with all of them.

  • Maybe elections should have affirmative action too

    [Read the article: Can Barack Obama win West Virginia?]

    Just give Obama a few extra states he wouldn't win otherwise, to make up for history.

    That's why I said 'overheated rhetoric aside'. Apparently that's a nonsequitor here. We're lead to believe by the true believers of Salon that everything is black or white. Either or. Whatever 'they' want is necessarily retarded, evil and a danger to puppies. So, since that's the case, we're supposed to simply not have borders, because THAT's a practical and entirely useful solution.

    Here is what you do. Fine every employer of every illegal alien $5 million dollars per day per head. Including any public sector employees. Then in a few years, do away with any immigration requirements at all. If you can walk, swim, fly here, bingo you're a tax paying citizen. End of story. But this silly notion that we should pretend it's a nothing issue we should all pretend to ignore is just more idiot twaddle that gives people like you a bad name.

  • Apply this simple test for economic and social advancement

    [Read the article: China's earthquake and the Mandate of Heaven]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Look at the death rates for 7.0 - 8.0 earthquakes around the world. California - 49 people killed. Mexico 3,700. China 12,000. Iran 50,000. I blame America! ! ! Boo Hiss !!! Up the Revolution.

  • Obama might not be head over heels about lots of things

    Like gay rights. But you'll never hear that at Glenn al Jazeerwald. It's all Jew bashing all the time. The thing that most journalists will tell you is that what you don't cover is as important as what you do. Point being, nothing in Glenn's world operates independently of his antisemitic rage. Everything has to be shoehorned into that no matter what. If it can't, then safely ignore it, whatever it is.

    Now if you'll excuse me there's power coupling acting up on our nuclear orbiting battle station and it's affecting our mind control ray projector.

  • In Mexico the government matches remitted funds 3:1

    [Read the article: How to stop illegal Canadian immigration]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The Mexican government has a program that matches money sent back from the US 3:1 IF it's used for community development. Basically the government supports illegals coming here to steal. Sounds like the perfect progressive plan to me. Let's do more of that.

  • Which would make Mexico the largest recipient of American aid

    Sounds great.

    I've never in my life heard a bigot say "I am a bigot". Salon is like that. It's not unique either.

  • I'm sure Obama is fine

    It's his mindless angry acolytes who are so intolerable.

    Is there anything else besides insults and namecalling? I mean I wouldn't want the people who's opinions outnumber mine 100 to 1 to feel persecuted or anything.

    No I'm with you. Let's have no rules or laws at all. Why bother? Let's let whomever can drag themselves here get a free community college education (actually just stopped in my state today as a matter of fact) on your dime. That works for me. And I'll send my exploding underfunded primary school population to your town. And we don't have the money for cops or firefighters.

    Yes Like I just said. The people who form a pack, a mob, screaming that one person out of hundred dare disagree with them. That single opinion, they must be the enemy, worthy of only insults. And you wonder why people don't take you all that seriously?

    I wondering what you think a rational point of view is? I mean one that's realistic? Use both sides of the test booklet if you like, take as much time as you want. Points off for degenerating into a pooh flinging chimp. I bet you can't do it. You got the angry sophomoric mob thing down pat. See if you can evolve beyond that.

  • But the funny thing is

    Not even the Lord God Obama thinks or claims to say at any rate we should do nothing at all. I guess that makes the crowd here even marginalized by their own hero. Do you folks even know what the creed of your political savior is?

  • "I know it does no good to just say the West Virginia voters are a bunch of uneducated racist idiots"

    [Read the article: Networks call West Virginia for Clinton]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    But I bet it feels real good for an effete prick snob reaching way way over his own station in life, like you, to say that though. If Salon had its way, there would be an aristocracy and a slave class.

  • It really doesn't matter either way

    I just hope the Oblamatrons have something better than "You Suck, nanny nanny poo poo" AFTER he gets the nomination and has to run against the GOP. Because as we found out in 2000 and 2002 and 2004, that's not a winning strategy.

    Ahh the cry of the loser taking his ball and going home. Sniff the tears. You never had an original thought in your head and w/o the mob you're nothing. So be it.
