Idaho Tea Party

Charlotte Said:

What do you think was it talk radio or Waco inspire McVeigh?

We Answered:

Mental illness? Megalomania tendencies? Wanting to be a leader instead of a follower, when not really qualified?

There are lots of possibilities, but shifting the blame to society instead of allowing the person to have responsibility for their own actions is a huge problem. It creates faulty thinking like yours that says society is the problem.

Why are so many dems opposing Obama's agenda?

We Answered:

I agree, liberals are breaking up with Obama. They've tingled and swooned over Obama since early 2008. Hearing so much reality from the formerly dazzled was quite akin, I thought, to witnessing a teenage breakup, where a girl suddenly has the epiphany and sees the character defects in Mr. Cool. Teen-romance epiphanies, where the once-infatuated person now sees clearly the cause-for-grave-concern flaws that her friends saw all along.

The fairytale aspect of liberals' affair with Obama is, I think, that they -- like the infatuated teenage girl -- saw in him only what they wanted to see. The gaping holes in Obama's résumé got short shrift, while his teleprompted eloquence had them all a-swooning. Like the teenage girl who wants to hear or see nothing amiss about her new beau, liberals turned a deaf ear and blind eye to every troublesome bit of Obama's idealistic folderol and defended his lack of executive experience on the ridiculous notion that he was above those sorts of things because he was, after all, rather like a god.

There's a huge moral lesson in here, and I, for one, just hope that every good liberal is still open-minded enough to engage the lesson and still has enough integrity to own up to it. The purely golden moral lesson at hand has less to do with ideology than it has to do with keeping one's head about him. It has far less to do with who is president than with why he is president. If we, as a nation, are able to absorb the true lesson of Obama in time, we just might save our country for the next generation. We very well might be able to show our young people something so important that it will become next to impossible to elect another pure knave on the strength of emotional attachment and fantastical wishful thinking to the presidency. o_O

What should not be capitalized and why?

We Answered:

21-24 and possible Foreign Language, unless it is the title of something like a classroom, lesson or book.
Possibly Church in 18, depends on it's usage.
Possibly Fundamentals of Algebra if it's not, for example, a book title.
Possibly God depending on usage again.
