He was glad they were fired up though...about what I'm not sure. I'll just bet you he got a huge standing ovation after that as well.

I was once at a Van Halen concert. Edie Van Halen was obviously in no condition to be on the stage. His playing sucked majorly but guess what, the crowd was still in a frenzy. This was in the Savvis Center in St. Louis so the crowd was large. I remember being outside afterwards and everyone complaining about Edie.
They still stayed for the concert though. And clapped, sang along etc....
we did too. Kept hoping it would get better and, after all, we paid for those seats. Didn't tell too many people about either--didn't want them to know how much money we had wasted on a crappy concert!

Yomomma will take this country from an offensive country to a completely defensive country, ask Jimmy carter how that strategy worked out. He turned out to be the weakest pussy president ever and our taxes sky rocketed under his admistration

I am not slamming you personally, I will leave that to folks more talented than I; but in answering the van issue and sidestepping the president question, the behavior is similar to numerous liberals that have come and gone from this board. They all say the same things, and they all leave when nobody will pay attention to them anymore... kinda like children looking for cookie crumbs... :cool:

Yeah but he had to die to get that kind of ratings. Had he lived and completed his term, I doubt history would have been so kind to him.

Also, Kennedy was a social liberal, but pretty conservative from a fiscal standpoint. Actually he was more of a fiscal conservative than most members of either party these days. That shows how fiscally irresponsible we've become.

As far as I know, JFK was the only Kennedy we've had as President. As I stated, IIRC his ratings were high when he left.

I don't subscribe to any of the "Internet rewrites" of history (aka conspiracy theories). Kennedy was killed by a gunman in Dallas, Texas. Only the shooter knows for sure why he did it.

I agree, his ratings would have gone down over his term. It happens to all Presidents. Maybe it's because we, the American public, seem to want our leaders to be more than they are. They're politicians, and almost by definition, that means compromised. They're humans, and we all make mistakes. After a few years we see that they're just people like we are, and their ratings go down.

Well, it is easy to suggest that knowledge one does not posses is conspiracy theory. Allows one to save face if they have not done their due dillegence in research. I hope for your sake you are not invested heavily in the markets, you will be parted from your $$$.

If one does enough research, one will find that a long time ago the US$ was backed with gold and silver at a fixed exchange rate. What is significant about this is that it keeps values of all kinds of things constant (in other words, with a fixed gold standard there is almost no price inflation).

After WW2, the US sold off some of it's gold and sliver (illegally if one carefully studies the constitution). Then the US dollars (paper money with only implied value) stopped saying redeemable in gold/silver, and simply said FRN (federal reserve note).

JFK threatened the banking community with reversing this trend, and putting the USA back on the gold standard. Many bankers would have had balance sheet problems... Sooo... the rest is history.

There are many books out there which have been in print for decades that will exhaustively document this. My first suggestion is; The Creature From Jekyll Island.

IMO, one needs to be a student of history to understand how crooked politicians really are. Otherwise, they are the pawns of power brokers (even though they THINK--incorrectly that is--they are getting something).

FOOLS imo.

I am not arguing with you, actually I agree. I would like to carry this thougth on a step or two farther:

I think we have expectations of a politician that are not realistic. And when these expectations are not met, we go off thinking the next guy will be able to meet those 'perfect' expectations... never will happen IMO.

What we subtly set ourselves up for IMO is the media circus feeding us all kinds of lies in the form of 'this time it will be different'... And the politicians can feed this stream of hype rather than be held accountable for who they are and what they can and will do.

I am NOT one that insists on a FAR right conservative every time... rather someone a little to the right of the center. BUT; I want accountability, experience, wisdom, and most important maturity (maturity comes from the other items). Those qualities are just not in either of the Dem candidates. 'W' Bush was/is lacking a little; but the current Dem's are not even on the scale.

08-21-2008, 04:36 PM
Well, if we're taking into account President that didn't finish out a term and leave (after they either couldn't be or weren't re-elected) I would like to put forth that William Henry Harrison was probably just as well liked at the start of his term as when he 'left office'.
Since he died 1 month into that term and was only recently elected, I doubt his numbers would have changed much.

One of the problems with our system comes before the election. The media feeds all kinds of lies about the candidates. This BS is regurgitated here and expanded upon. Typical nonsense like Obama is a blood sucker, will cause the collapse of America, etc is moronic at best and all it does is take attention away from the real issues.

You know, when the verbal sparring is over...

Most of the time folks to the left of center and folks to the right of center (not particularly flaming liberals or hard core conservatives) tend to want similar things. A safe place to live, work, and enjoy life.

I think where we differ is whether the government should be the leader or the follower. What I mean is the discussion of whether the government should provide things and we just take, or if we should take care of ourselves and the government step in only when asked to straighten out a wrong. And with this discussion comes the other discussion of how much one can trust government (IMO not as far as one can spit).

I agree. The question becomes how far should the government be involved. Some prefer essentially none, some more, and some a lot.

I think it depends on the person and the situation. For example - Suppose I decide I want to build a pig farm in my back yard. If the government intrudes to stop me it could be interpreted as an infringement of my rights. I'm not hurting anyone (except for the smell).

Of course if my neighbor decides to build a pig farm in his backyard then I want the government to protect me and stop him(I don't like the smell of pig 5&*!).

Unfortunately, a candidate such as this would most likely be shot.:mad:

Alice Cooper was correct when he said that " We are all humanary stew".

There is another party - Libertarian. Unfortunately they don't have the proverbial snowball chance. Both the Democrats and Republicans have stacked the laws such that only two parties (theirs) can effectively run campaigns.

are there any 'rules' on sig-line length / font size???

if not, there should be some limits to jmac and roto-rooter's sig-line, as when they both post on the same thread it takes A LOT of scrolling to get through a few posts.

...come-on man, get real.

None that I am aware of. However, if a sig line or avatar is causing a site problem the mods or ARPC do have the authority to change it. Personally, I don't see a need for that at this time.

Ahhh, an Alice Cooper fan eh? Ok, that's one saving grace;)

As for the U.S. government being in the hands of corporate America is concerned, all governments are basically businesses themselves. The United States, being a Democratic Republic with mostly Capitalistic leanings, should in some ways be heavily influenced by corporate America. There needs to be a balance between the business side of the U.S. and the social side of the U.S. in order for the U.S. to remain strong.

May we consider that too heavily social leanings just could be a major reason for the loss of jobs in the U.S.? Between increasing labor costs and environmental costs causing U.S. corporations to take their business outside of the U.S., we are in a bit of financial trouble.

Most of the time folks to the left of center and folks to the right of center (not particularly flaming liberals or hard core conservatives) tend to want similar things. A safe place to live, work, and enjoy life.




Ahh, and history serves right, the only ones that can accomplish that are the "Liberals"...


Thanks to the policies set forth by FDR and his successors, we created a country that became GREAT!!!!


That is, until some crackpot named Reagan came to office, and de-regulated all the hard work that made the USA great. Now, we are suffering the wrath of those ill informed choices.

What kills me, is you numb nuts want to continue creating a two class society by allowing these political subversives to brainwash you guys into voting them into power. I really do not see the allure of letting corporations control government. It is a dangerous thing, to say the least.

Well, maybe you do, because it worked so well for Italy in the 1930's....

Ok here is a beef from me on the subject of a lot of space used by some posters. Not the sig line but a yard or so of empty space between a few comments to force folks to scroll down half a page to read there precious comment or "final word". A few posters come to mine on this tactic. No naming names now but I wish they would stop this annoying tactic.

Kind of reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor when she would give one of her famous speeches about how we should all care for the gay aids victims (who knowing had unprotected sodomy and now want the taxpayers to pay for the hedonistic lifestyle). She would pause for a minute or so looking around while the cameras were rolling and then continue her sorry speach. That was and this is aggravating to say the least.

Honestly Ollie, I cannot truly understand how you could believe what you posted. FDR screwed up this country worse than almost any president past, present, or possibly future.

But then, right and wrong are in the eyes of the beholder. And what makes this country GREAT is that we are all free to behold what we choose.

I think it better to not address your comments today (I may choose to do so on another day though). Not because I do not have the words or the wisdom to articulate my points, they are there waiting. Honestly there is a part of me that relishes the challenge to prove yet another liberal to be childish, selfish, and immature :p:cool::D (do not take that personally, it was not aimed at you).

And it is not because I fear loosing face or being 'one upped'... IMO that is part of what happens sooner or later to most folks that engage in debate (nobody wins all the debates, regardless if they are right or wrong). Now just for fun; only conservatives are right all the time... LOL

But it is Sunday, and for those of us that worship the Judeo/Christian God, some of us choose to enjoy a day of peace and harmony on Sunday. I spent the day enjoying positive relationships with friends. I think I will defer a lively debate until I have to get back on the treadmill called work... :)

I might respond in a day or two, and I might be too busy to do so. Lets see how the week goes.

Note that GA is NOT conceding defeat or wrongness, only choosing to relinquish his chair at the debate table for a while for other reasons. And as we discussed in another thread; having the last word does not equate to winning a debate.

Have a GREAT one Ollie! And I might mention that of all the liberals, you are one of the few that I enjoy debating. :)

Whats really sad is that people think they have to say this if they disagree with him.

Your comment was in no way racial. We can laugh at him and comment how much he is not ready for the oval office.

Are you on some kind of oxygen deprivation diet?
FDR and his successors, which do include R.M. Nixon, have done more to bankrupt the capital in this country by putting in place a ponzi scheme, and its kissin' cousins the welfare state, and the great society.

Ya know, there is a concept called The Forgotten Man. As a matter of fact, in between your bi-athalons you might want to take a gander into the book by that title from Amity Shlaes. It is a hard read, but makes the point over and over that someone has to pay for all of these pipe dreams on the left.

It sure ain't the public sector that generates the capital to pay for this welfare state.

I am not picking on Ollie, actually I kinda enjoy debating with him.

But as I mentioned in a previous post, I am surprised in the shallowness of the belief systems.

At some point, we need to debate this myth that socialism is better than freedom. But not tonight (Sunday the 24th of August), it is just too late.
