#1 FOAD to the author and the editor who printed it.

#2 I can guess what George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson would have done if the Moors had murdered 3,000 New Yorkers. None of it would have involved panties or Habeas Corpus.

#3 I started to reply to this about four times. Each time I erased it. If I say what I want, I'll get sinktrapped. So I'll just think it /real/ hard and go shooting on the fourth...maybe I can find a nice pic of the author for a target...but that might contaminate the paper, the bullets passing through it and the ground as bits fall off. It'd be cruel to do that to American soil.

#4 Philadelphia is the city where a single muslim on a jury deciding a case against one of the recruit target communities, means acquittal by jury nullification. Obama is all about empowering anti socials rather than uniting diverse elements.

#5 When you say "first the traitors, then the enemy," it's oxygen thieves like this that come to mind.

Keep printing garbage like this, Philly Inq. and your death spiral will speed up and steepen.

I'll be a happy man when all these lefty rags are dead. Maybe then we'll get some news organizations dedicated to providing the facts, not just their moonbat opinions.

BTW, if you think you're helping 'Bama, keep thinking that. Just keep printing this crap, all the way to the election...

#6 Yup, the Founding Fathers probably would have been outraged.

But not by the politics and actions of conservatives.

They would, however, have been outraged by the politics of this author and his editor.

Hostility towards free expression of religion, widespread abortion as a form of casual birth control, attempts to disarm citizens, a public funded education industry propagandizing against Western Civilization, a public funded propaganda network (NPR & PBS) shilling almost exclusively for one political party, collectivism, Supreme Court Justices basing their decisions not upon the Constitution but on the "law" of socialist and autocratic nations abroad, local governments given the right to grab property to give to other private interests, coddling of violent criminals, being more aggrieved about what amount to frat hazing exercises or "the theft of sleep" than journalists getting their heads sawn off, contempt for the military, divorce laws which treat men as second-class citizens, etc.

All things that the author and editor no doubt find wonderful, or "a good start".

These are the things the Founding Fathers would have found, shall we say, revolting, not the stuff the writer talks about.

And what would the Founding Fathers have thought of an "American" who cared so much about what Europeans thought of our country in the manner of a high school sophomore trying to impress the "cool kids" and gain their approval?

Not very much, I suspect. Nor should we, now. This attitude, of worrying how much the Euro "cool kids" like America, is a form of mental illess that requires treatment ASAP.

Our Founding Fathers thought so little of decadent Europe that they essentially left.

That's the proper attitude now, as then.

#7 Well written, NMU, and I heartily agree.

Unfortunately, many don't. Check out the wench in Denver who, at a formal city meeting, chose to sing the "Black National Anthem" rather than "The Star-Spangled Banner" she had agreed to sing.

She's playing to the Obama crowd. It's going to be real interesting to see how many U.S. blacks decide they hate America if he doesn't get elected.

#8 According to this logic, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt should be forgotten, too. Their policies and actions during war-time were more far-reaching and worse.

#9 The America those men founded should never torture a prisoner.

The America they founded should never imprison people for years without charge or hearing.

The America they founded should never ship prisoners to foreign lands, knowing their new jailers might torture them.

The writer sorta missed what those Americans were doing to the natives for the first hundred years. Washington directed a scorched earth policy towards tribes along the frontier that participated in actions with or were just suspected of dealing with the British. And to the latter charge, go read up on the Trail of Tears.

Oh, by the way, dear author, just what outrage did the founding fathers express when the people drove out tens of thousands of Crown Tory Loyalist from the newly minted United States of America? Not much, because they understood the effect of tolerating snakes enemies amongst the population. Dear author consider following their righteous path if you so hate this society you are such a parasitic participant of.

#10 Sounds like a fund-raiser might be in order here. Raise money for the reporter for a one-way ticket to the country of his choice. I wouldn;t want this person to be uncomfortible with the country in which he lived.

#11 This author, and those that agree with him, before the 4th, need to read (won't say re-read, cause I doubt they even know of its existence), A Man Without a Country by Edward Everett Hale.

#15 This is the creed of July 4: No matter what it costs us, no matter how it scares us, no matter how foolish it seems to a cynical world, America should stand up for human rights.

Does that include sitting back and awaiting our own destruction?
I would conclude from reading this drivel that Mr. Satullo thinks it does.

#16 "This is the creed of July 4: No matter what it costs us, no matter how it scares us, no matter how foolish it seems to a cynical world, America should stand up for human rights."

Except when it would actually mean using force to protect them. Gas-chamber loving, fascist-apologist maggots like this make any freedom-lovers skin crawl.

#17 This is independance day, FOAD, or better yet, come out west and meet a few of us vets that would love to introduce you to a 32oz Louivulle slugger. I will hold the rest of my comments, hate to get sink trapped.

#23 What was special about 1961, except that it reads the same way upside down, an event tha will not recur till 6009?
