Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium

Evan Sayet has been a top Hollywood writer and producer for more than 20 years. His credits range from The Arsenio Hall Show to Politically Incorrect. After the Sept. 11 attacks, Sayet decided to step from behind the camera and speak out in his own voice that of one of the nations top political satirists. At Heritage, his entertaining yet quite serious lecture will examine the modern liberal mindset and how it can lead to siding with evil over good and behaviors that produce failure rather than success.

@lambchowder2 They didn't "fight" over here. The Japs bombed a Naval base we had in the Territory of Hawaii. The next day, FDR declared war on the Japs (makes sense) AND the Germans (huh?). So, you're advocating war when are allies are threatened? When another country has a "huge military and naval forces"? WWII started in Sep. '39..if we were concerned for the threat to our allies, why wait until Dec. 41????

@lambchowder2 Rights come from God...the Constitution doesn't "grant" rights, it was meant to PROTECT them....If you mean "rights" like "Right" to a job, "Right" to a home, etc.etc.etc.....Those are NOT rights, they are merely "entitlements"...the word "Right" has been bastardized to mean anything someone wants, as long as someone else is paying. Unions would dearly love "Right to work" wouldn't they?

@TheEthanwashere wikipedia "Covert us foreign regime change actions"

Imperialism is about expanding military and political reach. You put up an embassy in Iraq the size of two football fields and have littered the world with bases. Julius Ceasar could only wish to be so imperialist.

@graaaaaagh I could say that people should strive to be like children because we sour as we age, or I could point out the supreme naievete of "culture wars", treating ambitious capitalists like paragons of humanity and trusting them to sort things out as they continue to enrich themselves and string workers along

[lambchowder2]

@cptphilb No they aren't. You guys think that something has to be written out in one of the ten amendments for it to be a right, you go back and read the constitution. Read Paine, the federalist papers,

[lambchowder2]

@cptphilb ...because they opened by fighting over here. because the japanese had a huge military and naval forces. because wwII was a real war and a real threat to our real allies? do details mean nothing anymore

[lambchowder2]

@pittland44 creationism in schools, deregulation, tax breaks for the job creators (how can the rich invest with taxes,its not like they're rich or anything), more military every year. If there were no bigots or religious friction the world could hardly be better. If we embrace what you describe, in 1000 years people will still whine about welfare. If we did before, we'd still be fighting and dying for monarchs.
