"I'll have to be loyal to the old ways and die out with them if needs must." says Mr. Fezziwig in Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. Us too say the gang at the lake.

Leftist?
Very odd items we live in. For the first time I agreed with some far leftists, including Dennis Kucinich and Racheal Maddow. This is unknown territory. And now many celebrate the spending of billions on Libya and revenge. Is that a good lesson to display for American kids. Revenge is good. Go for it? So odd.

Stay Out Of Libya
The non-Libertarian Right and to the Left are all wrong. The US has no place involving itself in Libya. First our military is over extended already. Second, how can we afford more? Third, a dollar invested in friendship or humanitarianism in the Islamic Middle East only bring $10 back in hate. To help is to hurt. Simple as that. No US in Libya. Not a plane, not a missile, not a dollar.
Of interest is that this is more spending we do not have. The Tomahawk attack cost $71 million just for the missiles.[Fox]. Gaddafi is our enemy, but the internal revolts of foreign places are not our business. Gaddafi has already begun to play the "colonialism" card and that can go very far around the world. The point of why America is hated is that we stick our nose into everyone's affairs. They simply are not. Of course, Obama may consider $71 million a cheap price in generating the anti-America feeling he desires. He thinks others might like the government of the US to be in every aspect of their lives like Obama and the liberals think they should be in our lives. We face paying a high price in money, people, and friendships to learn that the answer to our control of other's lives is a responding "no". One wonders if the rest of the world will suppress their feelings when the Obama crowd starts to call any one racist who opposed him around the world?

Court Loses It's Position of Respect
If it had much, the supreme court has now lost any position of respect it once held. The Westboro Church decision has rendered public debate totally free of any sense of civility. Rights have always come with limits but they have now shed speech of any requirement to be civil or maintain any element of decency. The supreme court is now dead as a force of good in American society. They join the congress in facing the dung heap of history and the contempt of decent people every where.
As a side issue, these bodies should never be capitalized again. They have lost that status.
