My letter to WSJ:

Gentlemen (and I'm using that term advisedly):

I cancelled my subscription once before when your writers and editors insulted me by berating me for not wanting to contend with and support, much less give jobs to people who jump our borders, then demand I support them and their lifestyle, "racists, nativists," and every other such derogatory terms to insult my intelligence.

I'm about one inch beyond that limit again, reading your editorial on those of us who are sick of supporting a government who not only has spent us into our great grandchildrens' ability to pay the bill.

You bet, I'm for cutting off this President's and both Houses of Congress' blank check!

If they were my children, and they are acting like my toddler, when he couldn't get his own way, I'd not only cut off his check book, his allowance but a trip to the woodshed would ensue.

If demanding my government open up it's books, balance them, quit giving billions to foreign governments for building their economies, makes me a Hobbit, then I proudly claim that intended insult!

You're still on thin ice but if you continue to hit me with your insults, I just might need to discontinue my subscription again - for the last time.

Hobbit, You Betcha!

I didn’t know they delivered to the Shire. Do they have a special Hobbit-sized edition?

Could probably balance the budget with just that one change.

A positive development...like someone in the press asking The Messiah why he has a social security card issued in Connecticut in 1977...while he was living in Hawaii?

Obama’s identity is a house of cards...it will take just a huff and a puff to bring him down.

I got a call from the RNC last night asking for money. I offered to match every dollar over 4 trillion that they cut from the budget.

I guess I’m just an angry, bitter-clinger hobbit too.

I wouldn’t have even given them the second chance. WSJ isn’t what it used to be.

Yes, they called me too.

I try to remember the poor folk on the other end of the line are not actually the RNC but they get my usual comment unless and until you support conservatives, no more money.

This time, I added, tell Boehner that he's hurting the party and needs to step down from leadership!

I think total foreign aid is around $50 billion. While a lot of money, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the trillion+ dollar deficits we have for as far as we can see with the current budget.

If anything, we are draining China of money it could be using to build more factories with our current deficit.

The three little pigs story is not culturally sensitive.

Excellent answer! (I’ll bet you are very clever in your profession.)
