Newt the Adulterer
[Read the article: "It is impossible to miss the discrimination against ... believers"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here](7th Commandment Newty) gets it wrong; George Washington’s best statement was in a letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport Rhode Island:
The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

I especially like the liberal part. Not only is the “Professor” a thrice married Republican hypocrite (tied for first place with Giuliani) he is a piss poor student of history.

Thanks for the Reminder
[Read the article: The Islamists are coming]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Greenwald. However, this phenomenon is not new. Back in the 80's a third rate movie called Red Dawn (and hundreds of post apocalyptic books like the Traveler series) actually had any number of fools believing that the Soviet Union would conquer the United States. After the fall of the USSR, the next big bogy man was Japan (see Back to the Future II).
Now the big bad threat is Islam Radicals. Are these people nuts? The forces of Jihad and Hamas can't even take out Israel, never mind the United States. Dumb, but it keeps the rubes voting for the Right and against their own economic interest.

He did not quit
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Eli Manning will forevr be know as the QB who would not quit. A lot of people, including I am ashamed to say me, thought it was over after the last Patriot TD. It really is not over until it is over.
