I had a teacher who once said people who tanned were just trying to be black. I guess that makes you one of the few proud of your heritage.

Start a new Wing. I dare say we dont agree on all things, but hold true to the beliefs and ban polling as an indication of what to do next. That would get you and your fellow minded democrats the next Presidential elections. The current front runners are like water when it comes for standing up for their beleifs. A shame real

The issue with Bush is that his policies are not solving our problems, he will not try something different and the BUCK NEVER STOPS on his desk! Gene, all I ask is that you PROVE it. Yes, I've seen your other threads, but you still haven't really proved anything. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%

Maybe I have over-romanticized this city in my head ...who knows. I believe you have. Everyone talks about how great NYC is, but I've been there, and it's way overrated. It's filthy, unimpressive, and overall drab. This could be the NJ-NY feud talking, but that's what it seems like. But forget what I t

Strong convictions are good for leaders, but when do strong convictions turn into downright stubborness? I believe that is when something is proven completely wrong and hurtful, but they still continue to insist they are right.

The Buck Stops Here in Politics JoeUser Forums

A common opposition tactic against anybody is to bring out the "that's not what the people want!" argument. Apparently, only what is popular can possibly be right. That is complete and utter nonsense. An important part of leadership is doing what you believe is right, no matter what others think . It's important to have strong convictions and believe in them. A grea

Haha! You got me, I thought this would be something like "It's My Fault." Or whatever that title is. I think the saying should be "Whatever doesn't kill you is still a beyatch for trying." Anyway, get strong soon!

I will admit to wholly supporting only parts 1 and 3 of this. But you have shown your views quite succinctly, and I respect you for that. I have considered supporting the Libertarians in 2008 if I cannot stomach the Democratic candidate.

The best thing about this president is his name. Millard Fillmore. Doesn't that just have a ring to it? Heh. Did I mention he was named after his mother?

The Final Whig in History JoeUser Forums

On the unlucky 13th article, there is Millard Fillmore. Fillmore was the last president under the Whig party. He was the second Vice President to ascend from the death of the President. He was also the last to do so until Andrew Johnson. He approved the Compromise of 1850, which cost h

What is the basis for the white-male superiority complex? First, as athletes they rank at the bottom. Furthermore, as a group they are responsible for most of the horrors that have occurred throughout history. They will not even apologize for the considerable pain and suffering that they have caused minorities and women. Bill Cli

Dr. Guy, I thought I debunked your romantic notion that history is the result of the actions of great men. No one man can be "great", as it takes a village, a collective will to accomplish anything that can be considered as great. Dr. King and Gandhi- men who accomplished more than any general- are naturally exceptions to the pro

He's one of my favorites. Right up there next to Harrison. My justification for that is 'a government that governs least, governs best.' Heh. By that philosophy, Harrison was the greatest president in U.S. history!

The next president up is Zachary Taylor. Taylor was the second president to die in office; the first to die in office but actually do something. After him, there was no president from the Deep South again until Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976. He was one of only 4 presidents to
