    I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life.
    I went searching and found 2 books by Pamela Geller. One by Pamela L. Geller; the other by Pamela A. Geller. I’m reasonably sure that neither of these women is the Pam Geller from Atlas Shrugs - the author of the piece Puck posted. (Alliteration anyone?)

    Do you frequent that site on a regular basis? Dingbat is the word lizbud used to describe her – I think that is a kind assessment.

    Truly, I thought I heard, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling" by the second paragraph. Wacky as a Saturday morning cartoon is a funny, but, apt, description!

    My thoughts exactly.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    To the "sky is falling folks..."

    What do you call what is going on right now? How do you justify TRILLIONS of dollars of deficit spending? Spending that is neither borrowed or "earned", but simply created out of thin air? What do you call government control of private business and a Treasury Secretary begging for more?

    What do you call the 58 TRILLION dollars in unfunded benefits promised out right now?

    Bury your heads in the sand if you like... But i'll be OK taking the ridicule from you and ending up being wrong. But if I am right.... Good luck to ya.

    The article was forwarded to me in a email. I have never seen her blog before. Nor to I read it.

    Frankly, had I checked her out before I posted this, I would have not posted it. The racial stuff she said is totally wrong. So please do not take anything I say as a defence of her as a person.

    This said, the points I am supporting are valid. Her style may be very poor, but at least in this case she has some valid, IMO, points.

    If you disagree with me, that is fine. But do so because you disagree with the substance, not the style. I fear way to many people vote for style anymore, without any concern for substance and merit.

    I learned long ago to check out any and all items such as this one that I receive in an email.

    I wouldn't trust anything she spouts.

    The sky is falling is perfect!

    Are you reading anything I am saying?

    I don't CARE who wrote what was said. I care about the CONTENT. She might be a whacko, but she said some things that I agree with.

    Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    But I see, more and more, why you people who belive in Obama, do so. It seems to me that style matters more than substance.
