Opinion: Scandals undermine trust in Obama
A laughable bit of opinion. Mr. Will would do well to examine his own hyperbole and mischaracterizations before burdening the reading public with his claims.
Oh — and if you think Mr. Will has a good track record for a) accurately understanding things, and b) accurately predicting outcomes, simply recall his woefully misguided and inaccurate understanding about the state of facts prior to the past election, and his resulting prediction that Romney would win in a "landslide": http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV... It's almost as though you have to work hard to so misconstrue reality.
If you enjoy being equally wrong, for whatever reason, do continue to rely on Mr. Will for your opinions. He's proven that he cannot be trusted to accurately understand the actual state of affairs, and as result to be helpful in predicting possible outcomes of events.
One wonders why LJW editors continue to publish his pieces.

Opinion: Newspapers might get better with Kochs
That's a remarkably broad definition. In your thinking, then, all democrats are equally "left"? And as well as being remarkably, and thus unhelpfully, broad, your definition doesn't really define anything. What are the salient underlying beliefs of this "left" you seem to see? All democrats share those beliefs?
And how does it influence your thinking — if influence it it does — that all of the Founders were "liberal"?
It does no good for you or anyone else to have such ill-defined concepts. They simply prevent one from seeing reality.

Opinion: Newspapers might get better with Kochs
How are you defining "left" here?
And what a strange assertion, that you consider Comedy Central to be a news network.
Avoids the assertion that there is no definition of "Media elite" that does not include Cal Thomas.

Opinion: Newspapers might get better with Kochs
It's laughable, and points to Cal's sloppy and unethical thinking, that he'd lead his piece with an overgeneral reference to the “Mainstream media" being "alarmed." The headline for this piece could accurately read "Long-time member of media elite decries media elite's take on Koch Bros. newspaper plans."
Because his columns are so widely syndicated, Cal is a poster boy for the so-called "mainstream media." Either he's too thick to see that, or he knows it and plays his audience for fools anyway.
He's also a poster boy for what's wrong with civic conversation in the U.S.
The Journal-World does the local community a disservice by printing his pieces. Not because of what he writes per se, but because he engages in the worst kind of unexamined bias and sloppy thinking imaginable. If he were able to argue ethically, his opinions might be worthwhile. As it stands, he's simply a good example for younger Americans on what to avoid in terms of thinking and communicating.

Democrats say tax cuts are tax shifts
This comment is riddled with fantasies and misunderstandings. No wonder Republicans keep getting voted into office.
Tell a father or mother who've lost their jobs through no fault of their own that they are a "bum" and a "taker." That's flatly BS, lawrenceguy, and you should know it.
If that's what's guiding your political philosophy — faulty overgeneralizations and class animosity for working folks, you're what's wrong with Kansas.
Get out of your paranoid bunker once in a while and let the light of truth guide your way.

Income tax cuts approved in House
Who exactly are you talking about? What "taker" can you possibly mean? And how are you a "maker"?
What "moochers" are you referring to? What "leeches"?
If you can't detail specifically, with facts, what on earthy you're basing your thoughts on, you're doing nothing but complaining about a fantasy in your own head.
Seriously: try to convince rational people of that these "moochers" and "takers" and "leeches" you're apparently engaging in class warfare with actually exist.

Your post makes no sense absent a definition of the word "God."
