This editorial has a bright side: it will drive down the Times circulation even more!

LOL @ Dave. He actually thinks Joel Stein's wife took his last name! hahahahahaha!

Though, maybe Stein was her last name and he took hers...

Unbelievable. It is because of our founding fathers that he can write this dribble. The hypocrisy of liberals never ceases to amaze me.

It's the democracy thing they can't stand. They liked it better when we were led by an inbred bunch of arrogant elites.

Now THAT kind of government they could get behind!

the reason I didn't want to put a flag outside wasn't because I disapprove of our international policies. It was because I didn't want to associate myself with the other people who put them up, and with their unquestioning, tribal, us-versus-them, arrogant mentality.

But you WILL associate yourself with other liberals, with their unquestioning, tribal, cultish, 'us-vs-them', arrogant liberal mentality ... yes ?

Of course, I can see why Dave might have been flustered. I mean, the very idea that Joel has a wife in the first place brings so many questions to mind. Number one being, is she pre-op or post-op? :P

Why? In their minds urinating on the flag is patriotic. You can never criticize the left. They will just redefine the words to mean what they want.

It's a convenient way to side-step the truth - the framers were radicals, but they weren't proletariat style revolutionaries. They were people who had *everything* to lose and quite a few of the signers did lose everything. It was unanimous vote. This doesn't fit in with revisionists view. And that's what happens as memories fade, - history must conform to the vision of those writing about it, not the folks who were there.

Bleah! Such drivel, and on the day we celebrate our nation's birth, too.

What does WWFFD mean? I don't want to give the LAT the satisfaction of a hit.

The Left despises the United States and everything it stands for. The "Mainstream Newsmedia" is its Propaganda Machine. The Democrat Party is its Political Machine.

Considering the enormity of their hatred, it is not surprising that they eagerly serve as a fifth column for America's enemies abroad.

It is of no surprise that the Left has allied itself with and willingly serves the very enemies that attacked the U.S.A. on September 11, 2001, in a replay of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Empire.

Considering all this, the more the American people know about the Left and the more America's domestic enemies of the Left get their message out, the better.

We must make sure that the Left gets plenty of exposure. Their message speaks for itself.

What Would the Founding Fathers Do?

The kind of question only eeeeevil conservative supreme court justices might ask themselves...the 'enlightened' ones ask questions like:

WDIWDAHDIMCST

Which stands for What Do I Want to Do And How Do I Make the Constitution Say That.

:D

My guess is What Would Founding Fathers Do?...But I'm not going to give them a hit either.

They are hastening their own demise. Not fast enough, for my tastes, but they're still working on it!
