Wow, can you provide more info?

[Leisler]

Walk? You must of ment RUN downhill.

[subterfuge]

The article is just a hatchet job on Savage. It doesn't refute ONE THING he believes and neither do you illbay.

[ffusco]

Have you been there? Park Slope is like the upper east side.

[Vision]

Savage rocks and the left is scared cold.

[Stentor]

He is anti-fascist, anti-socialist and pro-Bush.

Exactly. What is it with the delicate sensibilities here lately. Some on another thread were taking shots at Mark Levin for being "rude". Oh wait. I think I get it.

[ffusco]

Park Slope is just like Back Bay, Boston.

BTW your recipe sounds delicious, and it was hysterical!

[Illbay]

I don't necessarily attack what Savage believes. I just don't like his style, that's all. He is like a "conservative Al Sharpton." I have no use for it.

[Leisler]

No, sorry, I just ment if there was a brewery at the end, why walk? Kind of a lame drunk type of quip.

[Illbay]

I can back up my opinion with more opinion.

Look at the Left. One of the reasons that conservatives like myself have such contempt for them is that they don't hesitate to inflame and incite based on purely visceral response.

You have Al Sharpton (who I compare with Savage--except hardly anyone knows who Savage is) who will stand up before a crowd and rant and rave about "injustice" and exhort his followers, who are just as unreasonable as he is, to "action."

He doesn't attempt to define a POSITIVE philosophy in order to promote POSITIVE action, just oppose all those who are "against us."

Savage just gripes, and gripes, and gripes. He attracts a fringe faction that has a tendency to glower at the world and complain about how "something oughta be done". But all that gets done is more griping.

I don't see the point.

I prefer people like Rush Limbaugh, who does his share of griping but tempers it with a positive, optimistic and "can-do" attitude. Rush spends a portion of his time relating the things that have always made this country great.

"Gripers" like Savage see all that is wrong, but there's no perspective. It's just anger for the sake of anger, and really no point to it.

It's a loser attitude, period.

Do you ACTUAUALLY BELIEVE the Catholic Church kidnapped Jewish children and forced conversion on them??? Who EVER has told you that has given you the seed of hate of bigotry and prejudice and they are NOT your friend. The charge is RIDICULOUS.....it would be like me saying that Jews eat children.....RIDICULOUS and No one with ANY sense would believe either one.

Did you know that the Chief Rabbi of Rome converted to Catholicism because of what the Pope did for the Jews?? I think maybe THAT"S why some Jews are trying to re=write history.

[Clemenza]

Unless you want to start a Paleocon or a Nationalist Conservative publication up here, live with it.

I thought that was Taki's responsability!

Personally, I'd prefer a fusionist publication (ie a braodsheet version of the old National Review before it got boring), but for now the Post is the best we can do. I still think Conrad Black is wasting his money.

[ovrtaxt]

Don't tread on me is the greatest pro-military song ever! I started listening to Savage just because I heard Metallica on AM. He blew me away the first time. I said, "here's a guy who is not interested in being polite. He just brutally tells the truth." Can't wait for the TV show...

[RWG]

how is America supposed to help train a new generation of leaders for those nations who will be steeped in American traditions of freedom and democracy...it's not supposed to, it's not our obligation to train foreign leaders. They will understand what they are supposed to do once Baggeddead is liberated by the US military.

[anniegetyourgun]

Can you say 'fraud'????

[ffusco]

LOL

[The Lake City Gar]

Savage is a loud-mouthed hateful blowhard and an embarrassment to conservatives.

The last time I listened to him (And the last time I ever will) he said "Liberal" journalists who cover the Middle East should face a firing squad for being trators to America.

I dislike liberal bias in the press as much as the next guy. It needs to be exposed (and condemned if you're so inclined) but his comments were WAAAAY out of line.

The man(?) is scum.

While the RCC has changed, its history regarding Jews is not pretty.
The most famous case of kidnapping was that of Edgardo Mortara in 1858. http://www.davidkertzer.com/books_edgardo_b.htm
