The Slumdog thing was a joke/attention-getter, not a personal attack.

No, no, no! You don't understand. It was a racial slur. Let me explain:

1) Jindal is an Indian-American. 2) Slumdog Millionaire is a movie set in India. 3) Ann Coulter is a conservative.

Don't you understand now? It's a clear case of racism / bigotry / slur. Points (1) and (2) together indicate that someone's race has been pointed out. Now, combine that with item (3) and the fact that everyone in the world KNOWS that whenever a conservative says anything even remotely related to race, it automatically equates to racism / bigotry / slurs.

If Coulter was a liberal, then of course this would not be a "slur". Don't forget rule (3) - the conservative/liberal rule. That is why conservative Trent Lott praising Thurmond on his 100th birthday was racist, while liberal cartoonists drawing Condoleeza Rice using the most detestable "mammy" depictions - not seen for 4 or 5 decades now - was NOT racist, or why Jesse Jackson's "hymietown" remark was NOT racist.

These simple rules have been pounded into what's left of Americans' brains now for decades, and as you've seen, there are even a number of FR members who have swallowed this hook, line, sinker, and grape koolaid.

Has it been that long? ;^) My, how time passes.

The left has been with us a long time (unions, teachers, prison guards, etc) and yet, we've managed to survive. This administration appears to want to take the cancer to a new level- metastisizing in the brain where survival is much less likely.

After 'Whatever Made America Great' is dead, we'll have nothing but it's carcass to feed on. Not sure about you, but I'm about to get my Vulture on.

Ignorance kills the beast. Today, it's freedom and liberty- tomorrow it may be fascism. Either way, the ignant will chuck a spear and slay that which stands between them and survival. With no thought of revival. Fascism will be defeated as was liberty simply because it stood between the masses and food.

It is only with envy that I view those who will experience society at it's highest level of personal liberty. The cyclical nature of freedom/tyranny will endure over time. People will have to fight to survive and live among it's many transitions.

Still, I am amazed that with a blueprint such as the founders handed down to us that we could no less remain a divided 'house'. And, the divisions appear greater today than at any other time in history. The Beat Goes On.

Without the constitution, these swings would be much bloodier. Rush Linbaugh would be hanging from a tree. So, I suppose the efforts to calm the 'sea of change' by our founders has had some effect, but by themselves are no match for human history. We must still endure the slings and arrows. Sling. Arrow. Sling. Arrow.
