In this column I pose questions and raise issues. I don't always agree with the conclusion, implied or stated. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item and to promote discussion.

---

• It's truly amazing to behold how much contempt Progressive Liberals express toward mainstream America.
• Some observe that, just as I predicted more than a decade ago, boys and young men today have little respect for women. Thank the feminists for that. They knocked women down off the proverbial pedestal, then kicked men into the gutter.
• Throughout the Clinton Administration and the Gore Campaign, Democrats protested that Social Security is in trouble. But now that the Bush Administration is trying to address that issue, the Democrats are protesting that Society Security is not in trouble.
• The Democrat mantra for 2005: "There is no spoon."
• Progressive Liberals are all protest and no progress.
• Progressive Liberals protest the need for affordable housing, but when builders propose affordable housing developments, Progressive Liberals protest against urban sprawl and the environmental impact.
• Pop-culture is obsessed with low-functioning autists (a person with autism). But most autists with a normal or high IQ still go undiagnosed and are still marginalized, however unintentionally, by the rest of society.
• If there's a significant government event, C‑SPAN records it. But only the content they broadcast is archived and available. If it has to do with feminists frothing over the evils men do, or blacks braying about the evils (white) men do, then a lot of it is broadcast. But if it has to do with American Indians, like President Bush's speech commemorating the grand opening of the National Museum of the American Indian, they don't broadcast it, and the man in charge of their video archives told me that nobody can have it.
• Progressive Liberals are laughing at President Bush's concern for something that won't happen to Social Security for 50 years. Aren't they concerned about the future, anymore?
• Too many North American women are like Dorian Gray, perfect on the outside, and self‑obsessed on the inside.
• The breeze brains on Airhead America attacked George W. Bush for events from 700 years ago. According to Irish historian Ann Griffin Bernstorff, Bush is descended from Norman nobleman Richard de la Clare, or "Strongbow," who "led the invasion of Ireland in the 12th century." (Read More.) For the airheads, this proved Bush is inferior. Much like the Progressive Liberals of south King County, who, back in the sixties, told me that I'm inferior because I'm American Indian. Guess I'm in good company.
• Airhead America is turning into NPR‑Lite.
• It's interesting, don't you think, how Progressive‑Liberals are always concerned about the challenges confronted by African Americans, but the only time they pay attention to American Indian issues is during elections.
• On January 26, 2005, the Unfiltered Airheads on Airhead America complained how white men in America live longer than black men, and described it as a "despicable gap." But they blithely ignored that black women live longer than white men, and white women live longer than anybody else.
• From the way the Unfiltered Airheads on Airhead America describe it, the Sinclair Broadcast Group is forcing people to watch commentator Mark Hyman. I did not know that TV channels have the power to make people watch them. They should patent that.
• Without small pox, there would be no United States of America.
• A reason sometimes given to justify the taking of lands from American Indians, is that the tribes underutilized the land, most of which was unoccupied. If it excused invasion then, would it also excuse invasion now? Because most of American soil still remains unoccupied.
• Diversity has long been embraced as a Conservative value
• If Progressive Liberals are so enlightened, then why are their protests so disrespectful, disruptive and, often, destructive?
• Listening to Progressive Liberal gays on talk radio, I am struck by how none whom I have heard are willing to respond to questions with straight answers.
• Progressive Liberals are "cool." You can tell they're cool by the way they look down their noses at self‑deprecating humor.
• If Bush is successful with Iraq, that would be worse for the Democrats than Nixon's success with China.
• Progressive Liberals lament the money spent on the Iraq war, and assert it would be better spent on the tsunami relief effort. They ignore that we are such a rich nation, who are able to help people around the world, because, among other things, we spend the money necessary to vigorously defend and promote democracy around the world.
• Like Progressive Liberals, Ayn Rand believed that, with sufficient information, everybody will agree on everything, unless they are irrational.
• Most of the men who murder black men in America are black.
• The only real complaint that Progressive Liberals have about the Iraq war, is how it was sold.
• Democrats complain that electronic balloting favors Republicans. Evidently, unbiased systems don't work well for Democrats.
• Progressive Liberals are pro‑choice for women, but not for men.
• If President Bush sends troops to Rawanda, how long will it take Progressive Liberals to claim he's doing it for oil?
• Traditions are beyond the need to prove, though never beyond question.
