Ron,
Just heard about your father. I am very sorry for your loss. As I knew him, he was a great man and a wonderful contributor to the good in mankind. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Rob, you did an execellent job in bearing our nations chest of fears and inept conclusions as to "how to fix this mess".

Thank you for all the enjoyable articles -- scary in the truth, honest opinion, right-in-your-face truth, without any apologies.

Thank you for saying what most of our muted voices cannot say. Who knows? maybe they'll listen and take note of you (Whoo-hoo!)

Mr. Asghar,

I have taken an interest in your pro-Obama posts. I find it curious that you've taken such a liking to Obama because, you know what, he doesn't much care for you. Obama is of the belief that your success and my success are the result, in part, from our exploitation of others. Therefore, it's the Obama administration's rights to raise our taxes and redistribute a percentage of our earnings to those who are less fortunate, er, exploited. Will you sleep better after November 4 knowing that you've made amends for past sins?
