   I appreciate the comment less format. It’s an improvement upon the censoring that the Sorosphere has come to rely upon.

   I may have to revive FISKWA!!

   This is a satire, right? Please tell me that it wasn’t written by a ‘newsman’:
   “According to some scholars, the passage is popular among restoration Christians who are part of the “Kingdom Now” and “Dominion Theology” movements who see it as a call to make the nation knuckle under to God’s will and accept the Lord’s dominion over all.”
   According to some scholars?
   Pawlenty a fire-breathing fundamentalist? Is Coleman so clueless that he doesn’t realize that Reagan was not a particularly religious man? That his religious background was as ecumenical as ELCA?
   Instead of doing a deep reading of the scripture Pawlenty read, let’s look at the actual quotes from the article:

   “Here’s my message [to Obama]: Stop spending the country into bankruptcy. Stop taxing us into oblivion. And the next time you address a group of young people, maybe you should apologize for the crushing debt you are putting on their shoulders.”

   He also touched on some familiar issues, criticizing the lack of fiscal conservatism in government, accusing activist judges of “making up the law in the back room” in regards to gay marriage and emphasizing the “importance of life at all stages of life.”

   From this Coleman thinks that it is obvious that Pawlenty is a religious maniac. What a crappy excuse for a journalist.

   I look forward to your obsessive caterwauling over another lefty blog that nobody’s ever heard of.

   No one has ever heard of Coleman? You’re denser than usual tonight, Tim in StP. Coleman is a columnist in the largest circulation newspaper in a second-tier American city. You “obsessively caterwaul’ over Mitch’s blog, and he doesn’t have nearly the reach that Coleman does.
   At least we know that Coleman has reached ‘crazy old uncle’ status with you lefties.

   your obsessive caterwauling

   Says the guy who’s been leaving regular comments on my obscure little blog for five years.

   Full disclosure: I offered him some comments about style and form several weeks ago, some of which he may even end up using. I think he picked a good, workable style for somebody who does a lot of stuff on the net, in various places, something I’m kind of familiar with.

   Regardless of what one thinks about his opinions and politics — I’m a fan of his loathing of corruption and police misbehavior, and not much else; wish he’d cover that stuff a lot more, as I don’t have much of an appetite for the endless “Michelle Bachmann: Threat or Menace?” pieces that the left churns out — I think him turning his hand to blogging is a good thing.

   The lack of comments, as Swiftee points out? You know, better than I, how time-consuming monitoring that can be. That said, a good commentariat is part of what a lot of folks (me included) like about good blogs, like yours; maybe, having gotten his toes wet, he’ll jump in.

   I hope Non-Monkey is tweeting, too. He should really tweet at least 60-70 times a day, so we’ll never be without his latest thoughts. A nation turns its lonely eye to Non-Monkey.

   I believe that Nick has a Twitter account… we were going back and forth for a while a number of months ago. I don’t know how active he is anymore.

   BTW–his photoshop skills, like his command of reality, have been found wanting.

    One of Nick’s tweets:

    “@Tom_Freeman Agreed: But I’m not training cadres to go shout at people. Nor do I belong to or support any party. I AM the middle in MN”

    Yep. He’s in the middle. Right along with Lyndon LaRouche.

    So his tweets are as sensible as his columns, then, Leo? Reassuring.

    It shows where we are as a country where some will take seriously Coleman’s assumption that those who quote Scripture are by definition dangerous nutcases….hey, hasn’t Dear Leader done that, too?

    (at least misquoted, no?)

    And nobody tell Coleman about Lincoln’s “House Divided” speech….he’ll become a neo-confederate in no time! :^)
