Thanks for sharing Butters, I love Mark Levin and Heather McDonald for always being insightful and succinct.

What truly wears one down, given all the things we are currently witnessing, is that we must remain vigilant,  keep fighting and screaming and calling and begging the very people we elected to defend, just a smidgen, if they might, the very Constitution they so swore to uphold and defend!

I'm not sure if this would be considered a valid analogy, but for the most part the battle between the Democrats and the establishment Repubicans (hat tip Levin) over immigration reform is like the Yankees and the Red Soxs management arguing over how many baseball fans there should be allowed in America.

If your business is baseball the more the merrier regardless of who they root for and if your a politician and your "business" is big  government you might feel very much the same.

The fans or the citizens in my analogy, bare the brunt of the costs, regardless of the decision "management" makes.

The politicians win, we, the citizens our children and children's children lose if "comprehensive immigration reform" passes, remotely smelling like this bill does.

Fight on people! Is this the Red Line for conservatives? 

Hope so.

Robot Schmobot, when were all herded to the city which will in the near future include all existing suburban sprawl, it will be light rail, and bike share for all.

The absurdity of calling this display of an arrogant bureaucracy gone not rogue, but tyrannical a scandal is beyond the pale.

Just witness the arrogance and condescension displayed by Sen Carl Levin towards the Apple CEO for his using "gimmicks" as a corporation to keep their tax liability as small as legally possible and not paying what the honorable Mr Levin thinks is fair,, someone I might add who must answer to the electorate at one time or another .

One can easily then imagine how fearless and arrogant an unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats might behave toward people who are in their mind, with help from a not so subliminal a suggestive thought from POTUS, that these people are truly "not one of us" and need to be shelved for a time.

Somewhere included on the worst movie ever list

Exactly the point I was trying to make.....thanks Drew

Plead the fifth.......only after first declaring your innocence of any wrong doing or illegal activity.......declare you have never had any involvement with a firearm..........and if that fails admit that you weren't even aware of what a firearm was until you saw it on the news....with the rest of us....last Friday I believe it was.

If all all else fails Mollie.........run to New Jersey!

Dennis Prager, on his broadcast today is drilling down through the president's recent speech on the reset of the GWOT.

One of his main points was the president singling out three examples of domestic terrorism which had zero relation to Islamic terror but were "radicalized extremists" who perpetrated evil deeds driven by their warped ideology. Adding that to Little Dick Durbin's (hat tip Mark Levin) statement along with the selective targeting of those "conservative extremists" through the IRS and DOJ and you have an enemy that is being prepared to be declared who needs to be dealt with conveniently right before the 2014 midterms.

Mr Lakely, this statement also jumped out at me since the Leftists never say anything without a purpose.

I suppose this Shield Law will protect us as well as Card Check protects the American worker from big bad business, Fairness Act for radio gives a diverse side to slanted current events and the DOE will provide us with "sustainable energy".

Pat Caddell was right that if the MSM doesn't wake up soon the headline above the fold will be SECURE PRESS IN OUR TIME.

Nathan asking which trait in a politician is more troubling lying or incompetent ignorance I would have to say they both are equal. Isn't the real issue though with bureaucrats at said department.

Having the power to fine as they see fit for whatever the infraction is chilling in and of itself but when mixed with lying and  ignorance I would have to then say lying. Lying reveals a serious character deficiency which may not be as easily cured as education can improve one's lack of knowledge.

Where is POTUS' Rose Garden speech on the "SHAMEFUL" behavior of the NBA for not evolving quickly enough as he himself has and making this player's  press notice a moot point.

We see the reactions every year at Masters' time when Augusta National's membership is castigated for their past bigotry and misogynistic behavior but yet no one has taken on the NBA, NFL or NHL for their obvious homophobia.

This player's outing would never have to be considered a courageous act if one of the president's "infamous" phone calls would have been to David Stern back when evolution was literally taking place at the White House and the president made his courageous stance on SSM

I agree on Hewitt, Ingraham, Prager, Medved and Bennett being positive but take issue with your assessment Levin and Rush who I believe are both very positive. Miller is an entertainer first and foremost and at best a positive or perhaps an eh, while Savage is an A double scribble negative.

I think talk radio is a strong force for conservatism and we are certainly in the positive column in the aggregate.

Talk radio does for me what the Resistance must have done for the hearts and minds of those trapped under the Vichy government in France. You may not totally approve of their tactics or methods but your heartened to know someone out there is knowledgeable, fearless and while they may be extremely self serving in fighting for their own freedoms,  life and lively hood while wreaking havoc with the enemy, they are also  secondarily working to secure mine as well as others.

I make no excuse for Mark Levin, nor would he want me to. To be honest, I have often in my 58 years acted unseemly and yet like most of us, still have found a way to excuse and even rationalize my behavior which is how I can go on loving my neighbor as myself even way they act unseemly.

The main point is whether he speaks the truth or not, not whether he made me feel good or not while he was proclaiming it.

Thank you for making that point so well.

The two most important people I listen to on a daily basis are Dennis Prager and Mark Levin in that order. I find them both thoughtful, insightful, well read and informed and deliver their pearls of wisdom in entirely different manners, which I also find not only entertaining but highly instructive.

They have caused me to become engaged and remain engaged and I applaud them both. Bravo gentlemen, Bravo!
