The fact that the comment by Jim was pulled by HF after I commented on its poor taste is a plus. I don't make up what I read in the comments. There is no harm in your writing in or to the MB but you should read the publication and in this case sooner. My comment stands in this article because it was an objection to narrow minded bigoted commentary..

Your never do wrong MB did publish that comment from Jim and it was wrong. I am not surprised the MB did not take a stand on any part of this issue. Please direct inquiries and directives of factual correctness and reported bigotry to the MB. The statement directly above the submit button covers there policy.

America has numerous concerns ahead of us, and pointing fingers and empty promises solve nothing.

If we "Socialize Medice", (called Government regulated medical paracctices including what drugs may be used, at what age will be the cut offs for heart by-pass surgeries, knee and hip replacements, etc,?

If everyone gets a "fair share" of the pie, not only will the piece be small, but who's going to bake the pies after that?

As the FBI figures show, even crime pays, as an investment, more than the Stock Market, but not if the Government ran it!

Many, many companies are down sizing at this time, by laying off their "older" employees. Don't have to pay retirement that way. My suggestion for private companies, schools and government bodies is to fire the top fifteen people in the company (the highest, of the highest earners-they all ready have mony set aside to see them through) and then move everyone else up at their current wage, in a wage freeze, for the top fifteen.

Another suggestion is to have all of Congress immediately switch from their private retirement to Social Security, and truely represent those they serve.

Following the same line of thought, when you are no longer elected to Congress, your pay check stops, and then you, again, will truely represent those whom you serve!

Don't you have a job? Or are you one of those awaiting the next liberal handout. You’re always to first to post your liberal diatribe. Have they lost interest in your opinions on Moveon.org, the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post?

I never see you’re repugnance with Governor Rod Blagojevich and you never acknowledge liberal corruption, only you're distaste for President Bush. We get it, you don't like him, so move on. Most politicians are corrupt, both parties, so take your blinders off and stop token the doobie it’s rotting your brain as the cell continue to die a slow and painful death.

I write MB personally every morning so I was surprised to see accuse us of using the term "homo". I have never used that word in my professional or private life.

We encourage people to make comments even if they are critical of Heritage and conservatives, but at least get your facts straight.

As for the Morning Bell I may have less hope for conservative thinking than when I originally began this subscription. We can't begin to heal or to connect until these boring trite maligning jabs at one another cease. The perception is that it is a nondescript entity heretofore to known as "that one" the left the neo-cons or in Jim's eye Homos that represent the divide. I'm unsure as to whether or not to be surprised that the MB would allow the use of "homo" or the comment as a whole with that demeaning verbiage.

I maintain you get rid of the leaders that can only incite the masses but not properly inform them and the masses will hunker down and do what they have longed to do, work hard to own or rent in a neighborhood of their liking raise a family and enjoy themselves and their surroundings and govern themselves with their new found or manifest moral fabric. We of the middle class have no real enemies or beefs from within. Name me one poor Heritage fellow, talk show host, or tenured politician and I will show you a so called leader who doesn't have a clue as to what we want and is only kidding himself while lying to those who look to them for representation and guidance.

"Nobody is right if everybody is wrong."

US Congress is the sole authority for spending. Look up the Community Reinvestment Act of 1979 (Carter and Democrat Congress debacle)is the bottom line reason for the financial collapse. Barney Frank and Dodd stood in the way of any reform of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Both those banks soaked up all non-performing debts due to the CRA act. 22% of all loans that were written as late as 2004 were bad debts.

Read the Constitution. We will need it in a couple of years when we get rid of the socialism fever that is gripping us now.
