You focused on "Childish Things" and I "Petty Grievances." Supporting and defending the Constitution is not petty. It had to be defended from the abuses of President Clinton, Bush and now Obama. The bailout argument is not petty either. Do we continue the failed policy of "Trickle Down Economics" because every State and Governor want a cut of this easy money pie so they can run home a hero? Do we demand bold change and reform unemployment benefits by giving people an $8.00 temporary job while they look for a new one? Unemployment benefits are broken. Who wants to collect "Extended Unemployment?" Who wants to give a CEO a Welfare Bonus Check? Trickle down is "Cut a check and run on the result." That's bad for America. Finally, the last time Sen. Lindsey Graham and I agreed...somebody got impeached. Obama should fold this hand and empower the people who got him elected. Unemployment reform is change we can count on no matter how bad it gets.

How irresponsible of you to get so ugly.
Even todays article going after the former police chief is just plain mean.
But not one word in your editorials of the banks and wall street raping the public with their shameless spending.
This isn't a public newspaper anymore.
It's the National Enquirer

It is purely all about money, no matter who is in office. This is just one example of government getting involved when there is a chance for the government to profit and turning their backs on those in need (people who need serious help to see their own kids).

Sherm Frederick wrote on January 27, 2009 10:30 AM: Jason,

Calling for civility at the inauguration is different than insisting that commercial TV or radio not criticize the president or his policies.

There's a time and place for everything.

I hope you get that distinction.

When are you supposedly intelligent people going to figure out that the Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin, both funded by big money and both responsible for Iraq, the housing bubble, and everything else?

When you boo the Republicans you are playing into their hands with this childish party-based divisiveness. Wake up!

Jason wrote on January 27, 2009 06:36 AM: Hey, Sherman! When are you going to say the same thing to your good friends on Fox Schmooze? I will answer for you. "Never, in a million years."

Yes, it's time to grow up and put away childish things like...

...Dubya gettin' bored of all the fancy talk and checking his watch.

...Rush Limbaugh saying that it's un-American and unpatriotic to question the President for years, yet now, he "wants him to fail". If the President fails, the country fails. Look at the stink we're in now for a prime example.

Honestly, though, how is this REALLY surprising from a pill popping addict who had his maid buy drugs for him that condemned pill popping addicts?

"Sorry, friends. You can question the President now. He's not Republican."

...Fox News' coverage of the "inauguration" by tracking that liar's trip all the way back to his hole in Texas.

Of course, they're now up in arms about Obama wanting to close Gitmo and "bring terrorists to American soil". They're already ON American soil, idiots.

I realize, Mr. Bigshot Newspaper Editor, that you and your cronies would be much happier in an all Republican world, where all of the money is taken away from public schools to pay for the lacrosse uniforms of your grandchildren via school vouchers, but that Hell on Earth is just not going to happen.

The common American doesn't have an hour long "news" program in which he can question "Is Obama really President?" to express his disdain with our President.

Take note of the three fingers pointing back at you when you point the finger at the boorish.

Uh, huh. Just wanted to make sure I got it right. Thanks a lot.

Johnathan L. Abbinett wrote on January 26, 2009 03:47 PM: Hey, Anne M. Erskine,

Your just wrong when you say "...his FEAR of Rush Limbaugh, his diagraceful behavior snubbing the Military Inagural Balls..."

Do you really believe anyone is afaid of a blowhard like Rush Limbaugh? He's a joke, a bad joke, and nothing more than a loudmouth who makes his money being mean, rude, nasty, lying and inflaming the emotions of those on the far right that are undereducated!

As for the military balls President and Commander-In-Chief Barack Obama and First Lady Michele Obama DID ATTEND THE MILITARY BALL - and were the first to ever put the limelight on our lower enlisted ranks by emphasizing how they are the majority of our military and sharing a dance with a couple of young sergeants!

So, either do your homework and stick to the facts - or be like Rush and just keep supporting rumour mongering - but, don't you dare even wonder why educated people look at you sideways and just walk away in disgust at your stupidity!
