		<description>Ah Gibbsy--the fellow who gives buffoonery a bad name. Professor Hanson I hold you and your work in high regard but even as a fan, I would never claim you were infallible.

Gibbsy, who is a BSumma Cum Loud of the Baghdad Bob University of Press Relations, doesn&#039;t know you from diddly squat, but he&#039;ll bet on &quot;the home team&quot; of poorly educated wordsmiths all of whom are apparently under 30. 

There is truly something wrong with people who don&#039;t know what they don&#039;t know--but are unshakeably confident that they are correct. Ignorance can be cured, through the application of hard work and study--but stupid is forever--and Gibbsy will never change.</description>

		<description>My only suggestion is 

Vote OUT ANYONE who signed the Stimulus Bill...remember the one that didn&#039;t read....that will get  a lot of the people who are walking on our rights ...out.

Do you honestly think we make a difference to the people in Washington, yet we keep electing the same people time and time again...this time we got the whole crap shoot..GO..VOTE..VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT...

That could at least start to make a difference, unless you&#039;re Al Franken...</description>

		<description>Another ramble of penetrating insights by VDH! Always a great read.

The USA can not survive as the world economic leader the deficits that Obama wants to structurally build into our nation&#039;s future. 

Obama may be playing realpolitiks with the Iranian revolution of 2009, but he&#039;s lost in a la-la land of long discredited economic theory from the 1930&#039;s. His party and his advisors are so ignorant of history that they are blindly goose stepping us down the same road Argentina only just in the last decade proved, once again, is the well-trodden road to ruin.

Therefore, it is of the utmost national importance for the Republicans to regain control of Congress in 2010 and then go on to render Obamania a one-term Carter-like malaise upon the nation, leaving it to the historians to ponder just who really is the worst American President since the American revolution. We stand at one of those great cusps in history upon which the fate of our grand-children&#039;s children hang...

It will be an uphill battle to unseat an incumbent emperor-God, especially with the acolyte MSM pulling out all the stops for him. But we need to start the process of rehabilitating the Republican party back toward the polity center now. This means repudiating all conspiracy theories and far right nonsense, such as Obama is an usurper or communist. Obama isn&#039;t a force of nature, nor is he sinister, nor even particularly clever. After only six months he&#039;s on the verge of undoing 200-plus years of America progress.  Obama is simply a creation of our failing education and corupt media infrastructures.

Republicans must reclaim the political center that Obama has left cheated and lied to. If we on the Right can muster the civic responsibility not to indulge in the same sort of gross fantasies and irrational hate that the Left did with Bush, we can still save our nation from that most ignominious of fates--national self-immolation. As Arnold Toynee pointed out, all great nations defeat themselves internally long before their borders collapse. 

It&#039;s up to us to save America and we can only do it by strictly and cooly adhering to the principles of The Enlightenment and our sacred constitution, while calmly making our rational, evidence-based case to the majority of Americans who voted for Obama and may find it difficult to admit they misjudged his character. 

Yes, we can.</description>

		<description>First of all, I don&#039;t believe that Robert Gibbs doesn&#039;t know who Victor Davis Hanson is (just like I didn&#039;t believe that his boss didn&#039;t know anything about the tea parties and just like I didn&#039;t believe that no one in the administration knew about those bonuses and just like I didn&#039;t believe...well, you get the picture). 

Second, what do these first six months mean? They mean we&#039;re blued, screwed and tattooed. That&#039;s what they mean.</description>

		<description>Dr. Hanson, I think the record shows that I posted a column which appeared in the February 20, 2009 National Post, by Ross McKitrick.  Would that more people have read it, rather than
run down capitalism.  For, I lean towards the theory expressed in &quot;Jews, God &amp; History&quot; by Max Dimont that Jews developed capitalism.  For the best definition shows capitalism is generally regarded as a specific application of wealth to create, &quot;surplus wealth&quot;, which is used in the creation of further wealth along certain established principles.  Such capitalism depends upon the existence of a free wage-earning class, mobility of labour and capital, free markets, international law,
sanctity of contracts, availability of credit,
negotiable securities, and liquid wealth.

Plus, there is the aspect which cannot have a blind eye cast towards it: rules mean what people want them to mean, rather that what the
conventional definition is.  There are companies, and products, which are based, and produced, outside of the United States; yet they are part of the United States economy.  As long as state governments and local governments think they can get away with shutting out &quot;foreigners and their products&quot;,
then why in heaven&#039;s high name would people outside the US, buy American?
At least, this comment will be posted, which, I suppose, is better than nothing.</description>
