we can no more disown you than we can disown the black community. We can no more disown you than we can our white grandmothers - woman who once confessed their fear of black men and who on more than one occasion have uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made us cringe. These people are a part of us. And you are a part of us and a part of America, this country that we love.

Glenn, your attempt to smear Instapunk and Glenn Reynolds because of a random comment made by neither one of them is a nasty little smear job, Glenn. It's even pettier than your usual sock-puppetry and sniping.

No, you didn't do it to point out some overarching problem; a single comment by a single poster is not an overarching problem, it's just the Internet. You did it to vilify two people who are smarter, wittier, and less tedious than you are, and whose arguments kick your ass on a daily basis.

And no, Glenn, imputation by association is not the MO of every criticism of a left-wing blogger. Amanda Marcotte was criticized for what she wrote. You are criticized for what you (and your numerous sock-puppets) write. Can't stand it, can you?

As for the rest of you who joined the mob here: Learn to read, and don't post further until you do.

we love you too - we can no more disown you than we can disown the black community. We can no more disown you than we can our white grandmothers - woman who once confessed their fear of black men and who on more than one occasion have uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made us cringe. These people are a part of us. And you are a part of us and a part of America, this country that we love.

I don't know how it happened but we got another cute frame.

Back in 1968, when I was senior in high school, I wanted to see the end of institutional racism and sexism in our country. I wanted very much for black Americans to enjoy the civil rights that the majority of us took for granted every day. And, of course, I wanted to see an end to the sexist behavior and double standards that often barred women from enjoying the full freedoms of our country too. I also expected and demanded a government that was honest and worked for all Americans,too.

How very disappointed I am today with what America has become:

1. Young girls who have no self-respect with how they act, look, and behave. And who breed indiscriminately with different men who take no responsibility for their behavior or fatherhood.

2. Young girls, of all races, who don't aspire to be anything more than having their breasts bigger and their lipstick last all day.

3. Young black males who don't bother to stay in school, although they know the probably outcome if they drop out, and walk around looking for bragging rights over some imagined fiefdom while their trousers hang down around their knees.

4. An estimated 25% of teenage girls with some form of STD - although there's been more sex education in this country than at any other time in our history.

5. Young men who worship and imitate the violent hip-hop world while the creators of this vile entertainment laugh at them all the way to the bank.

6. A Madison Avenue that perverts the music of the 60's and 70's and the owners who sell out to the largest contract.

7. A crass, media-driven, corporate greed that seeps into every crack and crevice of our society, manages to normalize the abnormal, and keeps pushing to internationalize the United States of America into yet another balkanized mess.

8. A Wal-Mart economy based upon producing nothing and consuming everything until the walls fall down around us.

9. An internet that feeds the ego-driven, narcissist world that is America today (MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc.).

10. A dumber, ignorant, value-less mix of people who are no longer connected to any common threads because even our U.S. Constitution is subject to being trashed by unchecked government thugs.

11. A government is that lazier, more hypocritical, more dishonest, and less open than at any given time in our history.

We might very well need another Revolutionary War to free this country again.

my comment with the "breasts of Orange County" was a joke wou don't have to take it seriously.

Sp you personally stand by every post by every author on every blog you've ever linked to?

Or are you hypocritically attacking InstaPUNDIT for linking one InstaPUNK post; while another separate blogger on Instapunk wrote a separate post on a separate topic that got your panties in a wad...

So of course you blame EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER LINKED THAT BLOG EVER.

Nope, you're not hysterical, whiny, and psychotic; you're the rational one. And I'm sure you'll stand by the appropriateness and accuracy of every post on every blog you've ever linked to (and all their future posts) because you're just that kind of honest.

That or you're a deceitful lying sack of **** who couldn't honestly find a good reason to attack InstaPundit, so you decided to go for any vague tenuous link you could possibly find.

What, his mother-in-law's hairdresser wouldn't say something nasty enough, so you had to go with this link?

Seriously, when you've got something solid, go with it. When you've got something less solid than "his best friend's, roommate's, sister's, ex-boyfriend's, mechanic is a racist" you really need to do a bit more work.

That or you look this f***ing stupid. Which seems a common thread for you.

[...]thought we determined with Kennedy that the ideas of the church were not the same as the candidate and that the candidate need not agree with the Church on all issues. Did that go by the boards when Obama had the audacity to hope a black man could be president?

Well worth repeating and remembering as the campaigns become more viscous.

You can see the JFK speech here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Jr03ADQmk

Definitely worth a listen.
