There is only ONE difference between our two presumably ‘for the people’ governmental parties. One is for CAPITOLISM and the other for SOCIALISM … period! Call them whatever you like, they have virtually nothing in common with the politicians of old, the ones that used to concern themselves with the welfare of America and its people. EVERYTHING
Thank you Dr. Guy. It is difficult to make a point on something as destructive as the GW sham is to our way of life in a few lines of text. Hopefully a little humor helps some. Anyway, I am waiting for the minions of hate who utilize Igor's dishonest movie as its Bible, to respond shortly in typical manner.
If there was a time for politics, it was before the first American soldier lost his or her life. We had many years of negotiations and talks before that fateful occurrence and they all amounted to naught … zippo … zilch! Once we were committed, the time for talking was over. Any further discussions at that point should only be over the surrender particulars of this de
A recent post entitled - Do you REALLY want to do something about CO2 emissions ? Link – got me to thinking and while I was trying to add a small comment … well, things kind of got away from me and the following article resulted. Point taken, but I think we already know the answers to t
In light of current attitudes and the disposition of large segments of our society, some reclassification is in order. Now, as this will mostly be political in nature, I can just imagine the predisposed ire that will be forming before any references are actually made. The contrived indignation we pretend to suffer from merely mentioning simple qualifiers like, say, th
Our political machine is completely broken and out of control. Bernard Goldberg put it best with the title of one of his books, “Crazies to the Left of Me and Wimps to the Right of Me”. I would imagine that most (rational) Americans fall in the middle here. This insane phenomenon has permeated all branches and levels of Government including the Executive, Judicial and
All is true ... but I am not talking about all or any other country, I am talking about the good old USA. A socialist government will not function here unless we actively allow the left to corrupt our constitution, erode our built in protections, take away all our guns and freedoms and remove all competition. I just cannot imagine having our complete life dictated to us by a pack of liberal elitists who sit back in their ivory towers and enjoy the frui
I suppose that your view on this simple question defines your political affiliation more than anything else. Now you could sit back in your guise as an armchair quarterback and nitpick everything taking place in the real world as is the want of most people, but this is unproductive at best, destructive at worst, solves nothing and produces ulcers and hatred amongst yo
Just couldn't let it stand there though! You are completely wrong in your talking points rendition; nonetheless, it is your right to do so. Additionally, I think you need to re-research the potential ramifications that could result in a premature exit from Iraq. The Islamofascists psyche is for the most part, unfathomable through western philosophy. Feel free to play all the word games you like though. We were not wrong in our initial analysi
The term "pork barrel" stems back to the early 1800s when the popular meat was packed that way, and hungry farm hands reached in for slabs of salt pork. In 1879, it was adopted as political slang to mean goodies for the local district paid for by the taxpayers at large. How you have managed to equate the war in Iraq with pork barrel spending is … an amazing feat!
Yea, I guess you are right. It’s just that I take my politics rather seriously … sometimes too much so, maybe.
Of course there isn't much fiscal conservativism in practice at present, but it seems you have made your point while disregarding a few things, which is standard liberal practice. It seems you think President Bush is a fiscal conservative, well I am here to tell you he is anything but. As a matter of fact he acts quite liberally in many instances. I will agree that the Republican Congress was a big-time letdown, one that President Bush could have tempe
When I was Young and all-knowing, well, I used to be a Democrat. Being young and inexperienced and gullible beyond belief, I fell prey to the Carrots they brandished for all takers. Who was I to question all the wonderful freebees they were offering … after all they were FREE, weren’t they? It seemed reasonable to me, for them to take care of THINGS in my best inter
I see today’s politics as pretty much black and white. Please don’t misunderstand me, I most assuredly don’t like this situation, but it isn’t of my making. Personally I think some of the things the liberals promote are good things and some of the things conservatives promote are not so good. But I just don’t know how to pick and choose anymore. Too much rides on a ma
I believe the merits should precede a conflict, not depend on its outcome. Unfortunately, I agree with a friends surmise; “… Bush's attempt to democratize Iraq will be considered brilliant if it works, and if it does not, idiotic in light of the Muslim ideal of the best community and the history of the region. It’s not over yet.” Terrorism is virtually a way of life i
Sorry for the spelling error. I do all my writing in MS Word and don’t know exactly how this slipped through the cracks. Guess I was in a hurry . I will endeavor to do better in the future. All corrected now … friends???
We live in a societal environment (country, state, county, city etc.) and as individualistic as we want to be, there are dictates that have to be considered for the good of the majority, PARTICULARLY in a free capitalistic society. You see, these kinds of considerations are taken care of for you in closed (dictatorial or socialistic) societies. You don’t have a democr
I agree wholeheartedly! I guess there is an additional reason I exclusively vote Republican and that is because the Democrats have a tendency to hang much closer to party dictates than the Republicans do no matter the subject matter or morality of the debate. I truly wish we could establish a CONSERVATIVE PARTY. Then you could leave the wing nuts in the Republican Party there and get about actually working FOR the PEOPLE again. And to cut the
When I look at the media, what I see is a den of liberal bedfellows. Sure there are occasional conservative leaning article, but those are usually condescending in some way. Think back 10 years or so, before widespread internet access, talk radio and Fox News … where was one to go for something besides liberal biased information. Word of mouth will only go so far. The
On the one hand, the liberals and their elitist leaders are actually condemning President Bush, Republicans, American policy and the Coalition for attempting to foist our DEMOCRATIC principles on the unsuspecting innocent peoples of Iraq regardless of the fact that they repeatedly voted for it. However, on the other hand, guess what the liberals amongst us
It seems that there is a misconception concerning my views on a lot of issues and in particular, GLOBAL WARMING (GW). I normally have NO RECOMMENDATIONS to make and readily admit that I at least am NOT A PROPHET. Were I able to make the global media outlets, I would be forced to at least express my own limitations and to somewhat tone down my opinions because of those
Just to set the record straight on why I view myself a conservative (not necessarily a present day Republican), I will go into some of my beliefs here. Many of my previous posts (elsewhere) have returned the argument that MY SOURCES are politically biased (??) and are offset by other views for instance Igor’s documentary (if you can really call it that) “An Inconvenie
Our present political climate is a strange bird at best. It is puzzeling as to how we got to this stage of drastic impasse, but stranger still is the fact that large percentages of our population has been sucked up into the political nonsense as well. There is no such thing as debate in DC, no matter where you look for it. For that matter, there is virtually no debate
Common sense can take you a long way through life, if you will just stop being blinded by political issues. Unfortunately, it seems that common sense is headed the way of the Dodo Bird. I don’t think anyone is capable of convincing the political diehards of either party that there is even the POSSIBILITY of an error in their thinking, so I won’t even try as I
A friend of mine thought that the subject When God Sanctions Killing, The People Listen Link might be of interest, so I decided to add my two cents worth to the fray. I myself don’t put a lot of stock in “controlled experimentations” because they remove the finality from the equation. I don’t
