I was mostly nodding along until the ‘McCarthyism’ give-away.

Yes! We are thinking along the same lines, no doubt. Even today conservative people in and around Hollywood when off the record admit that there is a bias against anything and anyone that is or who is not Communist / Socialist / "Progressive" / Marxist in their beliefs!

Wayne: Two things to add to your fine column.

1. Don’t leave us Jews out of this fight. It is a fight for American culture, our way of life, our rights to our religious beliefs, and free speech. I’m in for the duration.

2. Please don’t say that were are “behind” Robertson. That’s GLAAD’s position. We stand BESIDE brother Robertson.

"course"

"course"? Really? Where exactly do you get that quote about "course"? If you are going to quote someone, and literally specify it as a "quote", please do not substitute your own wording in place of the alleged quote.

Too many times in the past have two different alleged quotes been attributed to too twosomes of twos and flummoxed thereby.

Oh, and "looser" is not the same as "loser", before you begin.

Just FYI, for U2C, ASAP, FWIW. (IANAL, BTW).

The Robertsons know who the real “QUACK” is in America, and he lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Wash. D.C.

Obamacare - Dead Duck
Kathleen Sebelius - Super Quack
Ezekial Emanuel - Uber Quack
Michelle Obama’s menu for children - “milk and Quackers”

The way Obama thinks, “QUACKED” in the head!

Right you are—the obligatory bow to “civility.”

Pretty rich. Comes right back down to the old GOP line: “I liked what McCarthy was trying to do, but I despised his methods.” Now we’ve got to listen to Rove saying that Robertson was within his rights to say what he believed but, oh, the crassness and crudity were beyond the pale.

Well, McCarthy was hunting commies, not ducks; and Robertson was merely describing what the Bible condemned.

Maybe the GOP (I have no hope at all for the dems and their acolytes) ought to consider the crassness and crudity of communism and the gay agenda instead of hip-shooting the canaries in the coal mine.

There is a time for nuance and a time to speak plainly.

I have been saying the very same thing for years. For far too long now, 'tolerance' has broken down for most normal people as "you accept whatever I do, in the name of 'tolerance', and I will stop shouting 'Intolerant Redneck' as a compromise!"

No disrespect to all Godfearing much-appreciated true Rednecks out there.

And that "tolerance" has now turned into "Mandatory Acceptance".

Or, in far too many cases; "Compromise".

As in "I think you should be proud to eat this cow patty and accept it as normal, and you do not. So we will compromise, and you will only eat half of the cow patty. That's bloody fair, innit?"

Yes.. I have no time for anybody who doesn’t appreciate McCarthy’s work.

AND his methods.

This is where things get fuzzy. A waitress at a restaurant gave money in support of California's Prop 8. She never said anything anti-gay at work. Customers generally liked her, even her gay customers.

But when California's election laws required all donations above $100 to be made public, and people found out she was one of those that gave a pittance in support of Prop 8, well then they protested the restaurant and tried to have her fired.

These cases are truly borderline cases. Technically as an employee of the restaurant she is an ambassador for that restaurant just like NFL players are ambassadors for the NFL. But if the restaurant can deem her a bad ambassador for publicly donating money to Prop 8, then I suppose they can fire her.

How ironic if it turns out that the Constitution allows corporations to spend as much money as they want to bribe whatever congressmen they can, while their employees, the true citizens of the US, are discouraged from spending their money or time to publicly support people and causes they like for fear of losing their jobs with these same corporations.

The problem for the liberals is that homosexuality is an issue that can’t be resolved. And they seem to believe that everything can be.

There seems to be a desperation, not just an anger behind their mentality. A lot of them, especially the radicals, must have been the ones who were picked on or ostracized in school. They still want everyone to like them. Unfortunately for them, the most society can do is leave them alone.

Right now we’re all angry at the world. But I sense liberals are angry at truth.

Excerpt of official statement by the Robertson family:

"While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible."

well first, I guess one thing is I just wished we could put to bed the notion this is a free speech issue. its not, and I think it hurts conservatives more than liberals to allow that to be misconstrued. liberals abuse it.
once that is in place, we move on to being fired for cause. as a country maybe we need to address that. if it ever got to the point, using the nfl again, that it was well accepted that when a player makes a statement its only his point of view and not the nfls, that would be progress in not having “the freedom of speech” to be controlled by corporations.

Thanks so very much for that direct quote. I appreciate it sincerely, especially when I have spent so much time over the years writing technical reports where you had better be bloody well straight on or the reviewers would rip it apart with glee. If you were too stupid to understand the meaning of even a common word, in usage for decades, how then could you possibly expect anyone else to accept anything else you state as correct? (Don't ask how I know that statement word-for-word, please).

Add to that that I also write for a living in whatever spare time I have, and the editors and spellcheck people are much more brutal in their summation of any and all mistakes.

Hmmm. Part of that should read: "...to two twosomes of toos (also's, for you hating-of-correctness persons -yes you, mon enfant on Le Politic du Grame')..."

Oui, I am most able to self-edit when I am not in ze typing of too fast at times...

Call your lawmakers..

For what? Screw Washington.

Demand al-a-carte cable offerings. Screw bundled cable.

Kill your cable/satellite and switch to a streaming service. I pay only $19/month for Netflix, HuluPlus, and I have an annual Amazon Prime subscription.

But despite the “grammar” aside, I do indeed side with you on the McCarthy opinions. Good on ya, Struth!

Excuse me, but are you on drugs or something? I have no idea why you suddenly decided to pick a fight with me over a word that you thought I quoted in error.

I've just presented you with documented evidence that I quoted the Robertson family correctly, and you're still ranting away like you've overdosed on bath salts.

Seriously. Get a grip. I know I spelled the word 'coarse' incorrectly the first time.
