I grew up in a racially charged environment with parents who were yellow dog democrats and I always believed everything they believed in hook, line & sinker. But when I grew up I put away childish things, and now I have the ability to think for myself and I know we are truly experiencing the disintegration of the American family and the American way of life. I realized that my disfunctional family life is what skewed my thinking and I really had to fight hard to reject that contentious lifestyle. Now, I have a home and family life that is tuned in together and we will not let the open minded liberals convince us that it is better their way.

What in the world is happening in America? Is is really all about who can one up each other? What ever happened to common courtesy and quiet argument, when we all had an opinion and discussed it rather than viciously stabbing at one another? You go Bernie…..and don’t ever, ever let them stop you!

Right on doctor. Now, the problem that this whole african-american vs black is that if a white person refers to a black person as black and not african-ameican, then said white person is chastized. So, whites really aren’t sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Well, many homosexual people refer to themselves as gay and promote gay rights. So I don’t think they are particularly offended by the word unless it is used to equate something to being stupid. Same as with retarded.

BUT what exactly do you mean gay doesn’t offend you “because they can actually help it”. Meaning challenged people can’t help being challenged so its not nice to say retarded, but those gays well they just chose to be gay. Let me ask you this….have you all your life been equally sexually attracted to BOTH men and women but because of your beliefs or culture whatever CHOSE to date/marry/whatever women. Because that is a choice. I imagine that you have only exclusively been sexually attracted to women and cannot see another man in that way. That is what I would call not a choice. Do you think if you went to therapy or tried really hard you would be able to overcome your straightness and find a man sexually attractive? I think not. How do you suggest they “help” it? Why do you think gay people have had any different experience than you? I’m not saying you have to be a gay rights activist, or even have gay friends or think highly of homosexuality in general. But it is not a choice anymore than being straight is a choice or being born with a disability is a choice. It is what it is. Don’t be ignorant.

Dear Mr. Goldberg,

I have very much enjoyed reading your open letter to Mrs. Jacobs.
I totally agree with you. To quote John Wayne ” Life is hard enough, its even harder when your dumb.” Some people are way to over sensitive about an issue and only hear what they want to hear, not what actually took place. Thanks for you courage in pointing these truths out to all of us especially me.

Sincerely,
Natalie Fruge’

Yes Emily, I agree with you. I only wish I was born in America too, but I was born in America, North America, that is. Could you please do me a favour, and give Bernie a message for me, it is about Bill O’Reilly, he will be a guess this Evening. Bernie, you know all about O’Reilly, so could you make him go to have an X-ray tomorrow, because I believe, an X-ray will reveal all the answer to the Exam he took at Harvard University, and will prove he cheated on his exam papers, in order to be able to receive a diploma of graduation.
Hurry, no time to lose, good luck, your friend Liberal Bob

Collin in Katy,
Make your argument, but make it with correct facts. You are disnigenuous or ill-informed when you repeat the line that the SCOTUS banned prayer in public schools. I was there, both before the decision and after, and I remember. Before the decision, no one led us prayer. If our parents wanted us to take religious education, a minister met us at the door and we walked to the church down the street for a half hour or so of instruction, then we were walked back. No teachers led us in prayer, and no public funds were expended on religious instruction. After the decision, there was no change. Both before and after the decision, I could pray whenever I wished. Just as children can pray now whenever they wish. The court only ruled that the school and its employees should keep out of prayer and not expend public dollars on it.

Regarding the rest of your post, about paying for the”r” children, I have no Idea what you expect anyone to do about it. Somehow, you seem to think that if we use the word, retarde, that will lift the financial burden from your shoulders, because, apparently, you think all “r’s” are the product of irresponsible, poor prenatal care. At the same time, you are devastated by Roe v. Wade because someone might terminate a badly debilitated fetus, but Heaven forbid that your tax dollars should help to keep it alive once it’s born? Am I missing something here or reading you wrong?

Seriously, though –and I am reticent to say this as it might be taken as an attack upon you, personally-which it is not– I think I see signs in your post that you might be suffering from clinical depression and perhaps anxienty. You are seeing things out of perspective and ina manner I have seen in others displaying similar traits. I genuinely recommend seeking counseling.

Mr. Israel,
Amazing how similar your response in this article is to that of the avowed liberal, Bill Maher on Larry king a couple of days ago. Please do not infer that I am in any way chastising you or impugning you in any way when I say this, only please recognize that maybe there are some things any given liberal and conservative can find common ground on. Certainly, Bill Maher’s stance on this is not reflective of many liberals, but I am one who is largely aligned with him (and you) in this matter. I have found him to be insensitive on other issues to which I am myself sensitized (issues unrelated to terminology), and I believe that has been as a result of his ignorance rather than malice.

But I am with you both on willy-nilly redefinition of words and terminology to suit agendas. For instance, it is now “incorrect” to refer to illegal aliens as either illegal or alien. Their feelings are so hurt because apparently their command of English does not permit them to understand that “illegal” means one thing when used as a noun and another as an adjective, and that “alien” originated and until very recently was almost exclusively used as a word to mean, “from elsewhere.” Now they (the illegal aliens) have convinced “us” to believe it only means “from outer space.” Actually this, like “retarded” is redefinition for a purpose, and that purpose, in both cases, is to leave no words available and thereby take away society’s ability to distinguish between illegal aliens or retarded individuals and the rest of us. It’s an understandable motive, from their perspectives, but it also limits society’s ability to recognize and address problems. With regard to retarded persons, they have my emotional, if not my intellectual sympathies; in the case of the illegal aliens, they have neither.

And yes, I really am a liberal. Probably among the most liberal you have ever encountered. But these are not liberal or conservative issues. They are issues of sense and logic.

And finally, to you readers I say this: you make a poor argument against the case of your liberal opponent when you vilify him or her, as to criticize the debater reveals the poverty of your own argument. Anyone who has learned the written and unwritten rules of debate knows that to attack the opponent is to effectively forfeit the match.
