Out and About on a Friday Morning

At least one Democrats understands who bad the Democrat tactics on ObamaCare have been:
Even one of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s floor whips, U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, says a proposed parliamentary move to pass health-care reform would be “disingenuous” and harm the credibility of Congress.
Governor Christie is demonstrating that his are made out of brass.
Fess Parker, RIP.
Hey, liberals, our military is morally superior to the enemy.
380 banks at risk of failure.
McCain up only 7 over his GOP primary rival.
The requirement of morality in economics:
The financial crisis that has affected the entire world can be a good opportunity to rethink the development model, making it more attentive to the needs of the whole human family and not aimed only at the logic of profit. The crisis itself, in fact, has shown that in a market beset by bankruptcies, those economic actors are able to adhere to a moral behaviour and attentive to the needs of their area, have survived”.
Imagine that – the “whole human family”…which includes the unborn and the elderly; which presupposes the family will have a house to call their own, and wealth no one can take from them…might be interesting to try.
As Obama and the Democrats (and a few “wet” Republicans) talk “comprehensive immigration reform”, the American people remain dead set on securing the border.

the only think i saw there was the 2nd reply …
“I want to see the actual IRS 990’s and not your web site.”
Strange how no MSM outlet has jumped on this…just some…libtard…underdog…who doesnt actually document a single…fact…
…
facts are strange things…no matter how hard you try to hide them…they keep comming back…
What really surprises me about this, js, is the fact that it was disclosed through a ‘Conservative’ site and not a liberal one. Just goes to prove that not all conservatives are sheep.
For the second year in a row, Freedom Alliance has
been awarded the prestigious Four-Star charity rating by
Charity Navigator, one of America’s premier charity watchdogs.
Freedom Alliance has also been recognized as one of America’s
best charities by the Independent Charities of America.
according to those in the know…it appears that schlussel is just a loose attack dog for the progressive right….
JS,
try and google: “Freedom Alliance” hannity
This thing is all over the net.It is obviously to early to draw conclusions but would you concede that it is a possibility that this is a scam?
“all over the net”
…
not on the front page of msnbc…cbs…abc…cnn…hmm hmm hmmm…even the radical right MSM doesnt care to get caught up into the slander of gossip…that gets around the world twice before the truth ever gets out…
…
strange how you polarize your views to see only attacks against the truth instead of noticing the blaring omissions that prudence demands…gee…guess the suit for slander against these people in canada would go haywire…while in america…its called freedom…something you and raztard have little knowledge of…

OK, pay attention. Bigotry not tolerated. Ageism, racism, or any other form of bigotry will be deleted
rasass
Nope dont need to,
Old? = yes blessed.
Bitter? = No showered this AM.
Paranoid? Nope (but that doesnt mean they arent out to get you)
Racist? Ha! yeah I hate old white guys right along with 0hi0m0r0n and 0-chimpy!
Curious that she only posts the 2006 tax returns. Why not 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009? Not available? If that is is the case, how’d she get 2006? Or is it that those tax returns paint a different story.
You should also pay attention to the fact that the charity lists $14.5 million in assets, a fund built up since 2003. Now, if you’re going to set up a program to provide scholarships to the kids of soldiers killed or wounded (“Since 2003, over $10 million has been raised for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund through the Freedom Concerts and generous donations from the Sean Hannity Show and its listeners. The Scholarship Fund is designated for the education of children of U.S. service members who have been killed or 100% permanently disabled in an operational mission or training accident.”) then what you’d do is raise a bunch of money and start to invest it so that you’ll have the money to provide the scholarships years out from now – like if there is the 3 year old child of a solider killed in Afghanistan in 2010…be 2025 or so before you need the money.
Totally idiotic hit piece.
assets are actually 19+ million as of 07 mark
Totally idiotic hit piece…Mark

Let’s hope you’re right, Mark.
my bracket took a big hit but im still alive for the final.

if this is representative of what your bracket is…its a shake down racket and the only bracket you deserve is the ones that hold the bars to the walls for your prison cell…
ok bracket guru, who u got for the final if not kansas & KY?
WHO gives a flying S##T 00
we in the burbs like out foot ball, hey what is jj and al doing about the racial disparity in the N-BA?
Oh WAIT!!
who gives a $hit?
>only about 50 MILLION+ citizens moron.

only about 50 MILLION+ citizens moron.
Oh yeah ALL the 0zer0 voters….silly me!
The bleatings of CO and orrin only serve to illustrate why mouthbreathing RRL lemmings should never be allowed to be in charge of any aspect of economics.
Their view seems to be, if there is money there (in a charity, for example..) then SPEND IT. SPEND IT NOW .
The basic concept of preserving capital and spending the income from that capital AS IT IS EARNED is so far over their pointy little heads they don’t even seem to understand that it is there.
After all, isn’t this money just like tax money? When it’s gone, you just go out and get some more?
i was talkng bracketology einstein.
Their view seems to be, if there is money there (in a charity, for example..) then SPEND IT. SPEND IT NOW …Amazona
—————————–
Surely you can do better than that, Amazona, in your feeble attempt to defend Hannity’s ‘charity’.
Isn’t the whole concept of a charitable organization to get help to those in need of it as soon as possible?
People who donate their hard earned money do so in the assumption that it will be distributed to provide immediate help to those whom the organization represents.
I am actually surprised with your logic here, Amazona.
Isn’t the whole concept of raising money to establish an ongoing fund to finance higher education for the children of killed service men and women to, well, “establish an ongoing fund to finance higher education, etc….”
You claim, CO, without a hint of support for your claim, that “People who donate their hard earned money do so in the assumption that it will be distributed to provide immediate help…”
Perhaps the truth is that these people are far smarter than you are, and actually UNDERSTAND the purpose of creating an ongoing source of financial aid. Perhaps the fact is that you and a few equally economically illiterate lemmins are the only ones who fail to understand that when money is spent, it is gone, but when money is invested, the returns continue while the capital is preserved.
I am actually not surprised that you are not only spouting utter and ignorant nonsense, CO, but that you are oblivious to reality. And bitchy about it, to boot.
oooh, orrie, you kiss you mama wif dat mouf?
Sorry: u kis u mama wif dat mouf?
i’ve buried my grandma, my mom, & my wife. raising 2 kids myself. got any more stupid $hit to say?
We should all give ohio a break. Afterall, he is a self professed independent federalist, who ironically supports a massive federal government including many entitlements. Go figure.
Chef
KUDOS on the Kids!! and U (maybe)
….and I’m sure your mama and your wife look down upon you with admiration for your incessant racist whining, your generally sour nature, and your commitment to mindless attacks on those who merely hold different political views. That is, of course, if you were actually been brought up to aspire to nothing more than being an impediment to rational discourse. If the women in your life expected civility, rationale, and common sense, they are probably quite disappointed in how you have chosen to lead your life.
And I have to say maybe “hold different political views”, as you share with the other RRL trolls here the reluctance to commit to a serious political philosophy, preferring instead to just ‘goat’ the blog, doing butt-and-runs, acting as nothing more significant than an admittedly impotent speed bump.
Supply-side guru Bruce Bartlett: For an alleged antitax group, the tea freaks sure are ignorant about taxes. The takeaway:
“No matter how one slices the data, the Tea Party crowd appears to believe that federal taxes are very considerably higher than they actually are, whether referring to total taxes as a share of GDP or in terms of the taxes paid by a typical family.”
Says Mr. Bartlett, “It’s a bad idea for so many participants to operate on the basis of false notions.” Indeed. Of course, without false notions, we wouldn’t have tea freaks in the first place.
Wow, what a scathing article. Obviously these tea partiers should not be allowed to vote, or voice their opinion, as they had no idea what the aggregate tax revnues were that the federal government receives. Meanwhile, many of the Obama supporters, when asked in 2008, had no idea who the secretary of state was, but those people were considered grass root Americans. I think I get it now.
Deleted – mindless insults.
(Ed. Note: “A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.” – Frederick Douglass.)
Sorry Mark thinks you’re a coward, cluster. What’s even worse? He’s right.
slic
dont forget your own coffee-baggers.
PS while 42% of the population pay NO federal TAX the rest pay our and their share, tell us all about it Moron.
Anyone notice how downright bitchy orrie has become lately? And evidently quite the poster of racist comments, too.
The “racism” whine is so convenient for the orries of this world. It doesn’t matter if they are stupid, or arrogant, or offensive, or rude, or crude, or smell bad, or crowd in line, or lie, or much of anything—-when they are disliked and get no respect, they can always fall back on the whine that it is really just because of race.
Given orrie’s obsession with the alleged racism of white people, I’m inclined to think he has fallen back on this excuse many times. He’s certainly given us ample reason to have mulitiple reasons for finding him distasteful that have nothing to do with color, but he appears to have a lot of practice shifting the blame to those who don’t like him by claiming it is really just racial discrimination.
Amazona
probably why 00 got the boot from…….Army – artillery, ranger, airborne, sniper, tank, EOD, rocket, pilot, astronaut, CIA, FBI, branches of the Govt.
and became a janitor in a Jr. college.
It is our fault he rides a Huffy!
lesee laughing AT neo or…
…jamming sharp objects in my eye…gosh tough choice…hummm…
chef
definitely stay AWAY from sharp objects.
are you trying to get off drugs, OO?
Or withdrawal symptoms from smoking? Drinking?
Not too many girlfriends likes guys who use drugs, do they? Or at least the smart ones don’t.
A lot of people are losing their lives to drugs … another one committed suicide here just recently in his mid forties.
I’ve got a cousin that if he doesn’t get some help, he’s headed down the same road. Can’t do much with him right now, he’s determined that he’s going to keep going this route.
You need help too, OO. But you have to want help.
A lot of problems caused by sin in the world…
I suffer with mild to strong depression, A.D.D, and schizophrenia, but I did worse when I did not want to deal with the problem, I wanted to keep the problem to myself…don’t want to take medication and such. But now I’ve come into the open with my problem and it seems to be getting better, helping to build my self-esteem more.
The first thing you need to do is get down on your knees and ask God to forgive you and pray about your problem whatever it may be, and He’ll help you to deal with it. Then you need to recognize that you’re a child of God, that there’s no problem so big that He can’t handle it.
If it’s a drug issue that you’re having, then you need to ask God to help you to admit that you have a problem and then get in rehab.
If it’s the kids that are a problem, well, then, you say you just found a new girlfriend, then you shouldn’t have any problems much getting the help you need there, unless she dumped you…then, again, you shouldn’t have any problems…unless because you possibly have a drug habit. And if they’re old enough to work, then they should be able to handle most of their own problems.
You need to get your problems out though.
Amazona
Anyone notice how downright bitchy orrie has become lately?
maybe someone stole the huffy’s seat and he has to sit on the post to get to “work”.
I dunno, Neo. He might think that’s a good thing, IYKWIMAITYD, NTTAWWT.
ROTFLMAO……….YOU are RIGHT I never thought of that…LOL LOL
Interesting—-average American citizens, previously somewhat politically passive, become energized and involved in the system, using their constitutionally guaranteed rights of free assembly and free speech, to—gasp!!!!—STATE A DESIRE TO HAVE THE NATION GOVERNED ACCORDING TO THE CONSITITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and this defines them as “freaks”?
Evidently the RRL feels that adherence to the founding principles of the nation is “freakish”. Though there is the distinct possibility that slacker is too distasteful for even the RRL to want representing their views as a whole.
We never know just what has piqued slacker’s ire at any given time, as this persona has never bothered to outline a political philosophy or defend a political principle or issue on what s/he/it thinks of its merits, but merely appears as a source of spite and malice.
“this defines them as “freaks”?”
You have very serious reading comprehension problems, don’t you? Wow. What “defines them as freaks,” Ranty, is the fact that they’re incoherent. They scream with rage about tax increases that are figments of their imagination. They battle against tyranny that doesn’t exist. Every justification they offer up for why they’re freaking out is shown to have no grounding in reality. I know to people like you who also have no real grounding in reality, this makes them heroes. But no, they’re just angry sore losers.
Also, it’s very funny how you seem to think the word “constitution” is some sort of magic talisman. You call birtherism “following the constitution.” You call utterly incoherent rage among people with nary a clue what they’re talking about “A DESIRE TO HAVE THE NATION GOVERNED ACCORDING TO THE CONSITITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” (the caps lock makes it extra truthy!). If somebody cuts you off in traffic, do you scream “that’s not following the constitution!” at them?
LOL!, slccr, I can actually picture Ranty doing just that and then go on to demand that they outline their political philosophy and then defend it. She’s a riot.
“I can actually picture Ranty doing just that and then go on to demand that they outline their political philosophy and then defend it.”
And then she’d tell a story about how she totally crushed that liberal with her irrefutable wingnut logic.
slacker, thank you thank you thank you for this blissfully incoherent rant. If I were to try to paraphrase your bizarre approach to reality, I would be accused of being unfair, of exaggerating your insanity. Now I can just forward your own spluttering words to prove my point about the quality of RRL posts on this blog.
Yes, dearie, I understand that your very individual reality IS your reality, and that you seethe with impotent rage at all who do not share it. But in fact your post is nothing more than a litany of what you believe and assert to be true, when it is just what you have chosen to believe.
Interesting that you seem to believe that another viewpoint entitles you to spew hostility, rage, and insults. Interesting from a clinical perspective, at least.
“I understand that your very individual reality IS your reality, and that you seethe with impotent rage at all who do not share it. But in fact your post is nothing more than a litany of what you believe and assert to be true, when it is just what you have chosen to believe.”
Man, if only there were a way for you to get paid for such picture-perfect projection–you’d be on Easy Street!
Now, just for fun, let’s recap, shall we?
1) I pointed out the obvious fact that the rage at the tea parties is completely incoherent. They are, for example, screaming bloody murder about tax increases that do not exist.
2) You, in a display of very poor reading comprehension, claimed that I was calling them freaks simply for protesting.
3) I reiterated that no, they’re freaks because they’re going berserk protesting things that don’t exist. They may as well be protesting t-rex attacks.
4) You still fail to grasp the obvious, as is your calling card.
And as an added bonus, you beautifully demonstrated my crack that you think the word “constitution” is some sort of magical incantation. Here’s a chance for you to really shine, Ranty: What does the constitution have to do with protesting nonexistent things? Try not to choke on your bile too much in your ranting response. I’d tell you try not to go too crazy, but we both know there’s no hope for you on that front.
Ah, yes, more brilliant ripostes from the slacker. How devastating to be slapped with the ever-impressive “I know what you are but what am I” rejoinder. I wonder if I will ever recover……
At least I did have to be bitch-slapped with “I am rubber, you are glue…”
Oh, sorry, slacker—-did I steal your thunder for your next attack?
Well, I’m glad you’re finally starting to understand how ridiculous you look, Ranty. Perhaps you’ll learn to dial up the reading comprehension and dial down the crazy in the future.
Amazona,
Don’t fret about slacker, he is comically ignorant. EVERY one of his posts are void of any substance and are merely rantings from someone who is convinced that conservatives are racist, mean spirited people. Obviously learned through many wasted years in an NEA environment.
Awwww, there there, li’l clustie. I’m sorry for being so mean to you by pointing out the obvious and then making fun of you for completely failing to comprehend said obviousness. I know, reality is such a cruel thing to you poor ‘baggers.
Thank you for proving my point.
Awwww c’mon, li’l clustie. I didn’t say that you’re racist or mean spirited. I just said that you’re ignorant and frightened of reality. You aren’t exactly doing much to dispel this notion, are you?
For the life of me, I can not understand why foreigners are so concerned about American politics. It’s actually a little bizarre, as if these people are so void of a full life, another countries politics pique their interest. Personally, I could not care less what Canada does politically, and probably never will.
cluster, the infantile smirky little pull-my-finger level of strained effort at humor shown by slacker and CO does nothing to obscure the fact that they will go any lengths to avoid stating what they are FOR. In a typically feeble RRL tactic, they try to deflect attention away from the fact that they have no basis for any of their spewings. They seem to think that if they spew enough venom we won’t notice that they have zero comprehension of the Constitution (and zero respect for it) and post here not do defend any position but just because they love to exhibit the depth of their nastiness.
cluster, I am not convinced of the foreign nationality of any of the self-professed foreigners. There is a very strange idea on the Left that the rest of the world is better than we are, that we should be ashamed of our country and strive to be more like others. It is the source of the myth of the Ugly American and the basis of a bizarre self-loathing that they try to portray as simple reality.
They COULD be from other nations, of course, but if that is true, all it tells me is that the United States is far ahead of those nations regarding its teachings of civility and basic courtesy. These people are proud of their boorishness, which is hardly a basis of admiration for their native cultures or of them personally.
the United States is far ahead of those nations regarding its teachings of civility and basic courtesy…Amazona
—————————-
And you, along with neocon, cluster, jeremiah, js, etc., are bright and shining examples of that civility and basic courtesy, eh, Amazona?
By the way, it should be relatively easy for the owners of this site to verify the country from which we post our comments, don’t you think?
It’s ok, CO. We pretty sure that dislike capitalism, and would like a more European style of government in America, because you envy the United States for its decent work ethic, and a good percentage of the folks who still respect God and the values that come with living a Christian life, and raising a family according to those values. Nothing scares you anymore than people who live those values and that might pursue a political career. It’s ok, we understand that the light hurts your eyes. Well, I can’t help you there, except maybe offer you some advice and say that it might help you if you would come out of the darkness. But then that would require that you stop believing the lies that the devil has told you. And I don’t know if you could handle that or not, but you could if you asked God to help you.
I am with Amazona on those who say that they are of “foreign nationality” who come to this site. I am betting and pretty sure that most of them are in California, near the San Francisco or Berkley area.
I have doubtd their “foreign nationality” from day one. How could anyone possibly live in England, France, or Scotland or somewhere in those countries and know so much about each district of each of the states here and know the candidates so well? Unless, they have been here and moved in recent history to one of those countries.
Yes, I’ve always been skeptical about these folks. A lot of people were saying that Sadie is from “England” but I don’t believe that for a second.
She is paid to come here, I am pretty certain, as well as OO is, they are with one of the community organizers, say like DU or one of those entities funded by George Soros. They are communist organizations.
Now, mza330, he sounds awful familiar in his writings … it seems to me like I remember someone here before who talked awfully suspicious kind of like he was with a terrorist organization, but I remember he got everyone’s attention with the bunch of off the wall malarky that he was posting. That was back when President Bush was still in office. Now, it seems this particular poster (mza330) has changed his tone a little more fitting to the times, since most of our attention has been diverted to this healthcare thing that’s going on, but with the same scaremongering tactics that he did then.
At any rate, it’s awfully strange…I don’t know if he’s just trying to rile people up, or what the deal is.
If he’s trying to make people mad about this healthcare bill, then that’s a good thing. but if he’s here trying to defend Obamunism and thinks Obamunism is going to work, then he’s got another thing coming. And better be heading across the ocean to distant lands.
None of us have been so boorish and low-class as to storm uninvited into a blog about another nation’s politics and culture and then hurl incessant insults at that nation and her citizens.
None of us are oblivious to the crudity and lack of breeding or basic civility required to engage in the attacks on another peoples’ country and citizens and government that we routinely see from our ‘foreign’ intruders.
It is just a fact that most Americans have had the benefit of an education teaching good manners and respect for other nations, and it is odd for us to be exposed to people whose culture seems to say that they are not held to these same standards.
This is not to say that Americans’ good breeding and upbringing prohibits us from recognizing and even commenting on personal defects in others, when those others persist in flaunting those defects and making them the centerpieces of their attacks. But to barge into
a discussion group about the politics of another nation and its policies, uninvited, and to then constantly make sneering criticisms of that nation, is simply boorish and crude and beneath us.

read arguing with idiots pg19
Liberals like to consider their compassion and desire to help those less fortunate to be superior to that of conservatives or anyone for that matter, and that is the reason for their disdain. Obviously this is yet another false premise of their, but more importantly, there is a HUGE difference between the conservative plan to help others, and that of the liberals. Liberals champion a big federal government with massive entitlements, which amounts to them using others people money to fulfill their worldview. Conservatives champion a smaller, closer government, ie: the states, with fewer, more common sense entitlements, and a reliance on community, and Faith based organization. In fact, many well known conservatives donate to charity in amounts that far exceed many well known liberal donations. So, at the root of liberal delusion, is the false premise on which they base their arguments.
.
One lie I also wanted to point out that liberals continue to repeat is that the GOP has no healhcare alternative, which is absurd.

Well, Jeremiah, in those countries, folks actually like to know what is happening in other parts of the globe and since the U.S. is the world leader, isn’t it only natural that there would be interest shown in its political process? And you have to admit, the American political arena provides a heck of a lot more excitement and entertainment than the boring, business as usual politics of most other western nations.
As I said before, the owners of this site know the origin of the posts and I’m sure would make it known if someone was misrepresenting themselves.
By the way, Jeremiah, it wouldn’t hurt for you to educate yourself a bit; you know, what countries have freely elected governments; what countries have communist/nazi/fascist/ dictatorships. Things like that.
Listening to the gospel according to Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and the like will only make you more ignorant. Pick up a history or geography book or now we have this thing called the Internet where you can learn all kinds of amazing things about the rest of the world.
I’m interested in the politics of many other nations, and have friends from one in particular, and we often get into long and detailed discussions of the politics of our respective countries. And not one of us, ever, has descended to the low-class and boorish attacks and criticisms that you and mz seem to think are acceptable. But then we have had the benefit of good families and good educations, and we understand how tacky and trashy it is to hurl insults at other countries.
I have brought you up, CO, a couple of times, asking if this kind of behavior would ever be acceptable in their country, and the reaction has always been that this is the behavior of a very crude and low-class person. Now we have mz to add to the boor brigade.

————————–
I am glad that you have the insight & desire to elevate yourself, Amazona. Perhaps you should could try to persuade Jeremiah and the other inward-looking individuals here, who cannot think of life beyond the U.S. borders, to do the same.
CO, perhaps you should try to pursuade yourself and your even more boorish buddy mz to concentrate on your own nations as well as to work at being less uncouth.
You hold yourself up as being so superior, while the very act of doing so proves the exact opposite. A little “inward-looking” would be a good exercise for you, both personally and politically. Look into yourself to find out what drives you to hold yourself above others with so little to recommend that conceit, and look inward politically to your own country and its own problems.
If you were to answer a knock at your door only to have a brazen person push you aside to enter uninvited, and then proceed to snoop around and criticize everything about your home, you would be rightfully indignant, and would rightfully consider this person to be an unsufferable boor. As he stomped around sneering “OMG, what atrocious furniture you have! I’ve never seen such horrible taste! I wouldn’t use these curtains to wrap garbage in! Don’t you ever wash these sheets? You know, they make electric suction machines designed to pick up debris from floors—you might look into that, though it looks like you’re a few years behind that curve. Is that a picture of your mother? Ugly bitch, isn’t she? I read a pyschological profile of people who buy those atrocious big-eyed portraits, and it isn’t pretty—surely you don’t think that is ART, do you? Is this a kitchen or a toxic waste dump?” and so on, you’d wonder what kind of lunatic loser could possibly justify barging into your house, uninvited, and then proceed to trash everything he sees. You would dismiss this person as not only a crackpot but a seriously distrubed crackpot with a rudeness/crudeness level that is off the charts.
And if this person was physically in your home being this obnoxious and insufferable, you could physically eject him, while all we can do with you is sneer at you as being rude, crude, and insufferable.
This is not your home. You were not invited. You have no status which entitles you to rude and insufferable and boorish commentary on things which are none of your business.
“….we have this thing called the Internet where you can learn all kinds of amazing things …” like common courtesy, respect for other nations and cultures, and how to at least imitate well-bred behavior.
Clearly you have missed this neighborhood in your internet time, but even if your parents failed to instill in you the basics of courtesy it is possible for you to develop a moral compass on your own, if you put forth the effort, which may steer you away from the low-class and offensive behaviour you have evidently been brought up to find acceptable.

When you start to behave in the same manner you demand of others, Amazona, perhaps your remarks would have more credibility. Until then, I will continue to post my boorish comments from my superior foreign perch and since this is not your blog, you really have no say in who can and who cannot express their viewpoints, no matter how repugnant they may be to your fragile sensibilities.
Perhaps you could start your own blog and restrict comments to U.S. citizens, or even to U.S. citizens of the neocon persuasion, only.
If you are trying to imply that I have been offering unsolicited criticism of other nations please be more direct.
I am certainly not surprised that your boorishness is such an integral part of your identity, or that your obsession with this blog is so pervasive, that you can’t stop indulging in your juvenile and annoying behavior. Nice effort to try a diversion by whining that this is not my blog, etc etc, but I do get to observe and comment. Actually, as this is a blog about American politics, I have more right to be here than you.
I have more right to be here than you…Amazona

Perhaps so, but until passports become a requirement for Internet travel, Amazona, users have the freedom to post comments on any site that will accept them.
If you feel that opinions from international posters have no place on this blog, take it up with Mark & Matt. Who knows, they may agree with your moral outrage and decide to accept only U.S. based submissions.
