Truthfoward, maybe a better question would be should past presidents be lumped together in a single sentence? Should Bill Clinton's loose sexual conduct be mentioned in the same breath as George Bush' evil deeds? Bush may not have been involved in a sexual scandal but he did, along with Cheney, rumsfield and Rice, manufacture false evidence that directly caused the deaths of more than 4000 Brave young Service women and Men.

Maybe I'm just wishing here, having been for that invasion, without believing the 'reasons' given. I've certainly grown to regret that invasion now.

Taxation is one power granted to your government by your constitution.
How is that "theft". Theft implies the illegal taking of property. Taxation is legal. Besides, without taxation, how could you Yanks afford your current holy wars?-
Posted By: Bill Smith @ 12/29/2008 1:50:35 PM
If wealth is taken from someone by force or threat of force it is theft. Calling theft taxation, emanate domain, or asset forfeiture does not change the meaning no mater what some piece of parchment says that I never signed nor agreed to anyway. Giving something voluntarily does not constitute theft. By the way, I???m not a damn yank and I don???t support theft for anything, including holy wars.

Nope Einstein. She's going to be living with you anyway...unless you kick her to the curb or an old folks' home. SS is going broke regardless of whether it's invested in the stock market or not. You do realize someone has to pay for this right? I know you young, gullible kids think the govt. can keep the printing presses churning out the monopoly money we know as fiat currency. But, see junior, there does have to be some wealth or tangible commodities to back up the play money. Please tell grannie to start hoarding the gold coins.

Then you're resourceful too! Glad you had a good time! Sunday night, some dear friends, including that lifelong bicycle buddy stopped by on their way home from skiing Tahoe Sunday night. (I don't do that anymore. Nine knee operations, two artificial ligaments. I know I could but my knee is too important and functional now to risk a freak accident.) We had a grand time! It is the season for it!

Posted By: 40YearR @ 12/23/2008 10:28:44 PM
I NEVER could resist skiing with them! I love it too much. It is hard enough to not ski when I only live 60 miIes from some of the best skiing in the Sierras, as 'good' as is Sierra cement is. I have lots of activities that are fulfilling and good for me. I'm better off excercising risk avoidance on skiing. I'm too much of a go for it guy for my own good, and they don't exactly ski the small hills.

People are awed for good reasons, but there are much more awe inspiring. Maybe the Alps overall, winter and summer, from the tops. The Grand Tetons are to be seen. But there is a place in the Wind River Range about two hours drive from there, and three days hike in called the Cirque of the Towers. It's a valley about 10 miles long that one whole side of it that is an unbroken line of ten or so peaks above 14,000' and just as many over 13000. As awe inspiring as anything I've ever seen. It is a world renowned rock climbing mecca. Never did that, accidents too permanent. But, there are lakes about every mile. Never saw so many 3 to 5 pound trout, rainbow, steelhead and goldens anywhere. My favorite food! My mouth is watering now...

I'm sorry to hear that, but I think I understand.
Btw, left out the High Atlas in Morroco. They'd be second for me. That's before you take into account the unbelievable generosity and hospitality of the mountain tribal folk. It's too bad folk don't get to see the love and welcoming of true and devout Muslims. The true religion. Not that Wahabbi crazy sect now being fueled by Iraq.

How many more Senate Seats with the GOP party of Hate lose in 2010? I'm saying 3 or 4. There is talk of remodeling the Senate Chamber to eliminate the aisles since crossing them has become unnecessay. One idea is to sprinkle the few Republicans in here and there. By 2024 the GOP will be taking a backseat to the Independents who will assume the 2 spot. By 2030 there will be no Republicans under the age of 70. Hate will die hard for them but it will be great fun and sport helping them turn to dust. My New Years Resolution for 09 is not to argue with the mouth-breathers but to nicely remind them that their message of hate is no longer tolerated.
Here's a great comeback for the mouth-breathers...You couldn't spell CAT iif I spotted you the C and A. duh! yuk! That's a good one. yuk! duh!-

Probably true Sakharov. The Repubs are the Whigs of early 21st century American political life. As for the lame attempt at humor - dude it's just not your forte. Better stick with the "straight" man insults laced with misspellings, and inane historical analogies that we all know and love you for. Again, let me know if you'd like some "slam" pointers and I'll see what I can do..you WILL have to ask nicely.

Does it really matter which side of the demopublican party (the party of hate) is in power? The same thing happens: more of our wealth is stolen and even more of our basic human rights are denied.

Socialism for the rich = current American capitalism.

Absolutely correct, true capitalism dictates that a corporation that cannot stand on its own must fall. The very idea of using tax money to bail out corporations is about as far from capitalism as it gets; and since the vast mjority of the GOP (including Curiour George himself) strongly adovated these bail outs, I guess it's safe to call the GOP fascists, no?

You yanks are funny. Everything you don't like is "fascism". You wouldn't know actual fascism if it bit you on your ***.

Connected crony business interests bolted to the guns of government is fascism enough in America. Calling it 'corporatism' or 'centralism' or 'federal croniesm' is entertaining but besides the point. As for 'real fascists', that's easy to find. We just need to go look around for our European allies getting their latest butt kicking from their latest local tribal statist experiment run amok. You make a good point; maybe we should just call this fascination with tribal bootlicking 'Europeanism.' Whatever we call it, our own local love affair with monopolists with guns is doing us in.

Oh, yes, that would be far more accurate. Come on over, and I will show you a CCTV camera every 10 metres. I will show you a gutted civil rights charter. I will show you a disarmed population that is by no stretch of the imagination "safer". I will show you protestors jailed for 20 years. I will show you all of these things and more, and you will return and continue castrating your own liberties out of sheer partisanship to the party of your choice, as if you had never seen the results of that partisanship in advance.
Oh, yes. We know fascism. You don't.
But you will.-

Now this is funny. There is no way a Marxist/fascist like Obama can save something that has never been in existence in Amerika anyway.

Posted By: 40YearR @ 12/23/2008 7:04:02 PM
Ah, now I see that we are dramatic about more things than WWII. Please state your reasons you are so certain Obama is either a fascist or a Marxist. Nothing like that appears in his books, for example, although there was a plethoral of fabrications about what they were purported to say on other subjects.

Posted By: pbpace @ 12/24/2008 10:37:50 AM
I think O will be somewhat more centrist than many on the right believe. Having said that, the 'old' Obama had made many comments in favor of wealth redistibution.

Posted By: 40YearR @ 12/26/2008 12:48:44 PM
Other than the trumpeted one to Joe the Opportunist, which other many did Obama make?
-
Posted By: pbpace @ 12/29/2008 11:45:28 AM
Oops, man do I feel silly with that red herring known as Joe the Plumber. When Obama said he's going to spread the wealth around what he really meant to say is that he's going to spread around the wealth. Only a simpleton like me would confuse wealth redistribution and redistribution of wealth...mea culpa.

Ahhhh, now that's an expansion of the term fascism I haven't seen. (You must have a lot of friends.) Shakespeare would be proud of you. Maybe you can get the OED to credit you with this new useage.

That's funny you're ragging on someone for misusing the term fascism. That's rich..HA HA HA. Kind of like Hitler raggin' on one of his storm trooper cronies for displaying anti-semitic tendencies.

More character assassination. But then again I expect that from people who support theft and murder.

Jim... What in the world you want him to do? Beat himself across his back with a belt until the stock market recovers, or how about, go on a hunger strike? The stock market will not recover until all of us start acting as if it is not an issue and start lending and spending money. Yes, some folks lost their jobs and cannot afford to spend money, but those who can needs to do so.
Some of us as Americans complain too much and is entirely too damn selfish. If something good happens to someone, I guarantee somebody will have sometime negative to say. As a nation, we should put aside our differences at this stage of our history and confront our challenges, but instead we are acting like 3-year-old kids fighting over lollypops.
Every day I see outstanding young Americans putting their lives at risk in order to give our Country a chance to be great again for all of us. They serve not just for conservatives, progressive, or independence, but for the USA. I???ve been serving our great country for over twenty years and it the young Soldiers that continues to inspire me daily not you old fools.-
Posted By: pbpace @ 12/29/2008 11:21:12 AM
Yep, that's what we need. More mindless consumerism to make us great again. We don't have enough debt in this country... right? That is what made us great. Forget all the silly talk about rebuilding our manufacturing base, savinf for the future and shoring up our currency. It's all just fluff.

Excellent point junior. Those silly Repubs are so lame. We all know the Dems have a lot better proposals for saving SS....right? Oops, what's that? ....no plan/stay the course you say? Oh, well never mind. 1 out of 2 valid points ain't so bad.

That's it for now . On to Savannah for Christmas. everyone, i hope has a good one. Not to worry, I'll return before the New Year to remind all of the remaining members of the GOP party of hate how they share in the blame for continuing to alibi the Bush/Cheney plot to fake evidence that direstly caused the deaths of more than 4000 of our bravest and best young Service Women and Men. Part of the blame is yours too, for the failure to rout out Bin Laden. The financial disasterof course was Bill Clinton's fault or was it Jimmy Carter's fault. I just can't keep up with Limbaugh's later rationalization of why Bush was the greatest. Here a question for you why did Bush fake the evidence? answer, because the world is better off without Sadaam.

Yes genius, and all the Dems who voted for the war and enabled this moron of a president - including our incoming Sec'y of State - are blameless ...right?

Posted By: Bill Smith @ 12/23/2008 8:05:40 PM
The fault lays with the people who support government. They will all hang from a noose one day. Anyone who steals and murders, or delegates that to someone else does not deserve to breath.
