  • Norman is the man. Let's take out Tehran's nuclear sites.

  • Podhoretz thinks he is an intellectual. In reality, he is a violence-loving, useless bum who lives in a fantasy world.

  • @zxygh these things aren't mutually exclusive, you know.

  • It is obvious that Mr. Podhoretz believes in American exceptionalism but he fails entirely to understand or value the many who are left behind in the debris of capitalism. Its really nice to celebrate that so called bitch goddess idea while one can, but that bitch can only support so many and all the rest just get left behind right now it is the middle class being left behind.

  • PIG COP—Once upon a time there was a pig who mastered walking upright. His piggish habits were no deterrent in getting him placed on the police force in Volusia County, Florida. He drank, caroused, engaged in homosex and got himself killed in a one-car collision. His funeral was attended by 1,800 brother-pig officers. His delicious remains were made into link sausage: spicy-hot- police style. [The devout and the devoted develop and devolve.]

  • @colemiller56 Norman is the man. Look now how the whole Middle East falls apart because of it's theocratic and dictatorial leadeship, while Israel survives and thrives as a real, free country.

  • Podhoretz finds nothing (the Bitch Goddess, the Movement, Conservatism, Connection) important in relation to his one true God, HIMSELF!

  • I never went to school, but I like listening to the wise Jewish People. Not smart, but wise.

  • Hyperbolic jackass to you.

  • no u sir are a jackass

  • I find your lack of humor disturbing.
