HOW MANY MISTAKES ARE ALLOWED?
2016 Sept 2 from James Mayton
Hello Mr. Griffin.
I was watching a clip off of YouTube last night where some idiot tried to make communism / socialism (according to Marx) a logical thing. I presume that you know Marx was a dead-beat and had to have Engels pay the debts that Marx owed?
Seems like several of the people involved in communism / socialism were caught flat-footed when the “revolution of the proletariat” (brought by the money trusts) happened in Russia. Marx was in Great Britain. Lenin was in Sweden or Switzerland, and Trotsky was in the US or Canada. Marx believed that the “revolution” would happen in Great Britain. How many mistakes was this guy allowed – and people still followed his banner? IDIOTS!
You and your team keep up the good work!

HILLARY DISQUALIFIED FROM PRESIDENCY
2016 Sep 1 from Rocknjack
Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey told MSNBC that, not only is Hillary Clinton’s private email server illegal, it “disqualifies” her from holding any federal office. He cited federal law, Title 18. Section 2071, which says:
“(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
“(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”
Shouldn’t voters know that? The media won’t tell them. So it’s up to us.
REMOVE LINCOLN FROM QUOTES SECTION?
2016 Aug 29 from Scott Williams
Dear Mr. Griffin,
Please do not use any quotes from the War Monger Lincoln. He is the antithesis of what Freedom is. This diabolical monster caused the death of approximately a million people because he did not believe in what Southerners like George Washington, Patrick Henry, and many other stood for. It is shameful to see a usurper like Lincoln in your publication. Thank you.
REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Scott.
Thanks for your thoughts on using quotes from Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was far from an ideal political figure and probably could be considered as the destroyer of the principle of state supremacy in the American Republic. Yet, some of his thoughts and pronouncements were quite worthy of note. I feel that this is much like using quotes from Winston Churchill, which most people would approve, in spite of the fact that he was a conspirator in drawing the United States into World War II and was directly involved in the plot to sink the Lusitania as a means to generate American support for the war. JFK also has some skeletons in the closet, as do Martin Luther King and many other public figures. I feel that trying to reserve our quotation section only for those who are above reproach would be a fruitless task. We prefer to let the wisdom of each commentary stand on its own. I hope you agree with this approach. Thanks for caring about such things and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts.
