Wow. Mr. Billingsly is taking a lot of heat over there, most of it personal attack.

No surprise there. Most lefty-libs find it easier to attack opponents personally than try to defend their idiotic ideas. See the Palin Treatment.

Reading opposing viewpoints makes it hard to stay focused on the HypnoToad.

Great line, Mind if I use it?

Having two names? The similarity ends there. There will never be another Mark Twain. Even Hitchens doesn’t even come close.

Hitchens doesn’t come close to Barney the Dinosaur, nevermind an author of any importance.

Unless your only qualification for greatness is an insatiatable venomosity against all things religious.

Hee hee!

You know, if I thought it would do any good, I would suggest that all conservatives put comments on liberal websites.

It wouldn’t help. From what I’ve read of folks who do try to put conservative comments on lib sites the posts get deleted.

We will see a demonstration, of the worst possible kind, of the total failure of affirmative action

Which is exactly why we won’t see anything of the kind. The media, having played an important role in getting Obama elected because it will be good for the country to elect an African American is not going to change it’s stripes. They will feel that electing him is not enough, it’s also important the he be wildly successful for if he were a failure, it would set back the status of race relations in this country. Thus, Obama WILL be a great president, period, end of story. Watch and “enjoy” the greatest – if you pardon the phrase – whitewash in the history of the media.

But the one issue I see coming, race-wise, is that Osama Obama will make it difficult for any other black man — or woman — to be elected POTUS in our lifetimes. People will look at Obama’s record and say, “this is all an obviously educated, clean, articulate member of his race can do? Forget it!”

I’ve already seen it in some attitudes. Here in white ND, some people loved Obama bcs he has some black & that was the only reason apparently bcs when I talked with them, that’s all they could gush about is how progressive we would look to the rest of the world having a black president.
But the other side was unimpressed & would snicker about “is that all black people can offer us? Obama?!”

Buy lots of popcorn. It stores well in the bunker.

Ahh yes. And so do shotgun shells. I’m ready.

Somebody seriously needs to hire this guy, and get him away from the worthless Post-Dispatch. (I emailed him yesterday afternoon and told him as much.)

These are the people the Dems recruit as activists and sign up as voters. They are the people who vote not their pocketbooks but the money of others.

Does anyone get the picture here?

Cody, I am probably in your age range, and I agree with you.

Once again, may I invite all here to logon to SFGate.com and register as a commenter. Reading the comments on practically any featured story will give you plenty of idiots to correct, and they desperately need it. See you there.

Disgustingly, for the next 4 years, it’ll be necessary to endure the man. I’ll state unequivocally, that Obama can be YOUR President–he’ll never be mine. I’ll always respect the office of the President, but NEVER the man, in this case.

During this time, we’ll be working at my grassroot level, to change what we can, where we can. Never give up, just hope that the damage done can be alleviated at the conclusion of this person’s term. You may wish to pray that it can.

By the way, Z. DWIGHT BILLINGSLY is one hell of a name.

Is it a marker of genius, or simply someone who got beat up a lot?

My hootch mate in the USMC was a grunt named Edwin Neddleton Gadsby III. Not surprisingly, few people made fun of his name.

Just a short list — at the precipice of probably the biggest economic disaster of our times, he involves two individuals (Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines) who were directly involved in causing this crisis at the highest levels of his campaign. In a critically important state he calls the most popular college football team in the state by the wrong name (several times) — the “Nittaly Lions”. And of course everyone knows about the “57 States” and “bitter clingers” comments. The list could go on and on, especially if you include every thing Joe Biden ever said during the campaign. If it was Bush or Palin it would have been “the most inept campaign in the history of politics”.

I vote for Z. DWIGHT BILLINGSLY to be brought on as a moderator at HA.

Nah. You dance with the girl what brung you. Allahpundit is among the best writers in the sphere; truly an elite wit.

But I would trade every stinking Kathleen Parker Drivel column he has linked to in the past month for one paragraph of this man’s clarity.

Clearly, Z knows what that word means.

If ZDB keeps speaking his mind, they will drop him.

Hope the talent scouts for Washington Times, WSJ, FNC are following ZDB. This guy’s got the goods!
