Stanley Crouch is a grouch.

“Now that irresponsible opportunists have brought many of the misled to Washington,”

Should he be talking that way about Rev. Al?

My experience with Bill Saletan is that he is willing to respond personally to cogent and non-infammatory e-mails that disagree with him. He may approach issues from the left but at least his civil, poliye and (unlike most) reasonable.

Its amazing to me that the entire media industry in America manages to walk into Beck’s traps, again and again and again.

Its even more amazing that they continue to think of themselves as the smartest people in America.

"And, of course, people of color serve disproportionately in the armed forces. "

That has certainly not been true of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

But the thrust of the event was the effort to tell participants a story about themselves that would justify their identity and legitimate their claims in the public sphere.

I've got my own story and am a citizen of the United States of America. I don't need anyone to "legitimate" my claims to the public sphere (define the term , control the argument). This elitist prick should shut the hell up.

What does it take to believe that Christianity is an endangered religion in America or that the name of Jesus is insufficiently spoken or appreciated? Who wakes up believing that there is no appreciation for our veterans and our armed forces and that without a noisy speech from Sarah Palin, their sacrifice would be scorned?

Thats an EASY one. Just listen to the Media culture today. Not necessarily the news media, but the entertainment media that tends to drive culture so much. Nothing but disdain for Christians and conservatives in general. If you are average Joe out there with average American values (ie, mostly Conservative), and you look out there at what passes for entertainment these days, you WILL have a feeling that your views are not just looked down upon, but openly mocked. THAT is how these people feel. And it ain't just a White thing. I am not a "white" person that they describe here, but I feel the same way that these folks do.

Was the rally as white as CBS News? As white as ABC News? There’s no way it was as white as MSNBC.

Didn’t read the whole thing, but from what I did read it seems the Left is completely preoccupied with race. Crowd of blacks: victims marching for justice. Crowd of whites: Pit of hatred. Racists. Frankly I’ve had enough. Calling me racist means nothing anymore. Frankly I just don’t care.

“And, of course, people of color serve disproportionately in the armed forces.”

This lie has been going on since Vietnam.

Like all hardcord libs, Feder does not understand conservatism in the slightest. They simply can’t get past the race thing . They think this, conservatism, is some sort of a racial movement. And Ross Douthat is a smug, sanctimonious pseudo-conservative. I do think Beck is going down the wrong road with the religion angle. Much better to stick to the constitution and leave the preaching to the guys in the churches and synagogues. He’s taking the risk of coming off as some sort of a political Jimmy Swaggart.
