Reply to Gerald Ford - RIP - A Great Democrat in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Well, guys...you have to understand.....Ford did give the Washigton Post an interview in which he expressed displeasure with the Bush Administration and its current policy in Iraq. That puts him in a new light....maybe he'll even be a new hero for the Left. They'll probably work real hard and do anything they can to paint him as a rogue Republican. The fact that everything they'll say is altered or revised history, completely made up or simply spun in their direction will be

*If the worst does happen and he dies, the SD Governor Mike Rounds (I've met him briefly too) will have to appoint another Senator to take Johnson's place until the next elections. Rounds is under no obligation to appoint another Democrat, which has the potential to upset the blance of the current Senate's 50-50 split. This could be an interesting turn o

If it is honest, and forceful enough, then i would go for it. That's fine with me, support them, but don't engage directly.

nonsense! not wanting to dangerously mix religion and governemnt is not undermining the faith. ---SConn1 It may not undermine the faith, per se, but it sure has undermined the government/country.

My Epiphany----The Dead Made Me Do It. in Politics JoeUser Forums

There comes a moment in everyone’s life, often several moments, really, when he or she finally knows, with perfect clarity, where they stand or what they believe in. I guess I was always kind of conservative….I’ve often mentioned how I voted for and supported Reagan even before I was old enough to vote. In 1980, Ohio County Schools held a mock election in grades 7-12 to show the kids how the system works. I voted for Reagan. In 1984, I wore a big Reagan-Bush pin,

Indeed. It would be much better if all decisions were taken by generals. That's called a junta. --cikomyr It would have been nice if they'd had a couple active military figures, ones who'd actually been recently deployed in Iraq, for example, on the committee. How about one or two people FROM Iraq? Just....people; who'd seen and l

Then why did they make the commission in the first place? Because those with expertise on the topic are probably biaised. --cikomyr Yep, it's always best to have people suggesting policy who have no real, well-founded idea about the subject on which they're advising. That's government. I should have a watchmaker come in and te

Two and 1/2 Men---The boy, Jake, gets invited to his first boy-girl party, and is nervous because he can't dance, and is unsure about mingling with girls. Lecherous Uncle Charlie (Sheen), to Jake's dad, whose name escapes me just now: "Well, I can talk to him....you know, give him some pointers."

The Iraq Surrender Group is noticeably lacking in one area: people who know first-hand about the war and its progress and effect. Vernon Jordan and Sanra Day O'Connor? Please. Let me ask my wife and next door neighbor and see what they say. Then I'll submit my report to the President. Talking with the Soviets had one major advantage that talking with the Iranians does not: the Soviets were not religious maniacs who viewed us through the prism of their bloodthirsty r

Reply to Elf in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I think I'd go four and a half. I liked this movie very much; but then, I like stupid comedy. Big fan of the 3 Stooges. I'm also a big "Godfather" guy, and every time I see James Caan, I can't help but think "So that's what Sonny would have looked like if Barzini hadn't had him rubbed out." I guess I'd agree that this movie isn't what I'd classify as a Christmas classic, at least not up there with "Christmas Vacation" (I await your review

Hmmm....let's see....I'd slaughter a pig when I feel like having some nice BBQ pork ribs, fried or broiled chops.....maybe a ham or two. Oh yeah....and sausage and bacon; gotta love the way sausage and bacon smells as it's cooking. Especially bacon. Another time when it's especially good to slaughter a pig is when it's hanging directly over a bunch of handcuffed and shackled Muslim extremeists. Oh...you mean COPS!

Have I missed it? Has it happened yet? The first serious JU liberal/atheist Christmas counteroffensive? This’ll be my third Christmas on JU, and I noticed that, every year, at the first hint of a serious Christmas article, the non-believers have to jump it feet first to refute whatever it may say. They have slam down hard and fast, lest their tender sensibilities be offended by our seasonal religious nonsense and claptrap. They bring with them their solid, newly-di

Someone may already have posted something on this, but that's okay. I thought it was funny...... The Young Conservatives at the University of Texas are erecting an "ACLU Creche" (Nativity scene) for the Holiday season. If I remember correctly, they're going to call it something like the "Generalized Winter Holiday Festival Display", or something like that. Since the ACLU espouses and promotes only extreme Progressive beliefs and issues, the display
