Lee1776, you should post this on one of the *col* blogs, he'd get a kick out of this. Naaa, he'll see it soon enough. At one time I would post multiple times with the same thing, just to get the common since word out, but I have notice those who ignor

"Thinking about Social Security contributions, do you think people under age 55 should have the right to choose between keeping all of their contributions in the current system and investing a portion of their contributions?"

What sped up North Korea's Nuke program faster? 1. Appeasement for years, by giving North Korea parts for a nuke reactor and free oil and food. The food and oil helped free up mass amounts of labor to assist in the production of military and Nuke material. Brain power alone don't build nukes, it take mass amounts of labor and resources too. Just look at how massive our Manhattan project really was. 2. Pressure to attend talks, mak
Here is another miss used label: Pregressive Love it when liberals call themselves Progressive too. When most of them have not spoken a progressive thing in the last ten years.
Hay Guy in the Sky. dabe also loves to ignore the fact that Saddam was murdering over 50,000 innocent people each year along with the estimated 50,000 innocent Kuwaitis, and millions of Iranians. She could ask the Iraqi Olympic team about that, but Ooops most of them are dead for not winning gold meddles. Compare that to the highly inflated number 100,000 of both Iraqi civilians, soldiers and insurgents posted by Human Rights watch (t
They don't have a neocon badge on their vests or signs on their office doors. Yes they do, it is called the AEI. Read my post above.
The neoconseratives sprang from the very heart of Democratic America. Most of them lived in New York or Boston and most made their living in academia. But these were not traditional Harvard men, lantern-jawed and blue-blooded. Most of them were Jewish, virtually all of them the children of immigrants; some grew up in homes where Yiddish was spoken as much as English. The key members of the group - Irving Kristol, Danial Bell, Seymour Martin Lipset
In fact, dog, even though Iraq shot at some planes during the fly-overs, they never shot down a single American plane. When a cop walks past my house every day, and I shoot at him every day. So if I keep missing him, it is not a crime? Alright!!!!, lets set up a Anti-Aircraft gun at the end of
Heavy mech is being used for station keeping and whatnot and just doesn't drive by roadside IED's and carbombs as often as the Strykers do. What? The Bradley is the work horse of the Army. There are Divisions of Bradley's in theater compared to only three Battalions of Strykers. The Bradley has b
i THINK THE EXPERIENCE OF cOL gENE HAS MADE MY JOB MUCH EASIER. tI thank you, Col Gene I have spent 18 years in service myself, and can tell you Col Gene is ignoring some of that experience at this time to make a point. He knows that maintaining soldiers is really about four times the cost of contracto
--I know about that strike, my mom worked for UPS then, still does... Have her check out how the union takes a cut of not only the money she puts into the plan, but also how they take a cut when she takes withdraws too. Some thing the Company plan did not do. In the Company plan, the union was
If you really want to know how bad a union can be to it's own members and out for themselves, read up on that UPS strike about eight years ago. The union retirement plan that they got, gave 50% their net income from a twenty year retirement to the union administration, compared to the company run plan offered early on that was rejected be the union (was not even allowed to be voted on).

Although the idea sounded good the consequences have been that the actual cost of providing the services by contract is higher then if the services were provided by the military. For example, contractors were paying up to $80,000 per year to drive large trucks in Iraq when the comparable cost to have Military member drive that sa
Lets keep the name calling to as little as possible here. I seldom (if ever) strait out call people names and object to others doing so on my thread. It does not matter who or where a person started it, it does not help a make any point other then making it harder for others to willingly support the views of the offender. There are many times I would like to back some one up, but change my mind after the name calling begins.
I mean look, the sheep are still bleating and what have they accomplished? Increased sales of bottled water and organic fruit along the demonstration routes. Also gave the Communist and Socialist parties a new generation of sheeple
This was brought to you by "YOUR BOY" George I'm am much happier saying and saluting a President Bush right now then ever wanting to a President Kerry. While you never say anything good about Bush, don't think just because I voted for him t
Now we must increase revenue to pay for it! Scrap it, and we will not need to increase revenue.
If Wal-mart continues this type of growth, maybe the government should break it up as a monopoly?
WHERE DO WE GET ANOTHER $65 BILLION EVERY YEAR FOR THIS PROGRAM? Scrap the program. Why should I pay for someone elses meds? That bill was simply a large Socialist program to start with, it does not matter if a Dem. or Republican got the bill through congress. It should never have been past I
Maybe the government should give us a refund this quarter. I want my extra money back!!! Good write up Terp.

Reply #6 By: COL Gene - 5/5/2005 11:01:57 AM how can we be running surplus a $54 billion when we had a annual projected budget deficit of 425 billion which fails to account $50 billion of the supplemental that Bush requested for the Iraq war? What we have is a temporary spike in collections we do not have a surplus. A surplus
That's right people, (especially you Doom and Gloomers) the Treasury Department this week reported there would be a $54 billion budget surplus in the April-to-June quarter. The Treasury Department also said that it will repay $42 billion in federal debt this quarter, instead of borrowing $12 billion. <a href="htt
