I have this friend....

My the years have gone by all too quickly. I have lost some enthusiasm and some of my stamina from my youth, but my ideals have not changed.
Neither have most of my friends. I have this friend...from GA that is probably the most polar opposite from me politically as any one on the big blue marble, save a few neo-nazis and skinheads and a few so-called islamo-facisists (that is the term "W" used isn't it?). But normally if I'm for something, he's against it. If I'm against an issue, he's dead set for it. Do you see the pattern established there?

Well up until the president's popularity went into the tanker, I had been receiving almost daily updates from such brain trusts as Neil Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, David Limbaugh, Townhall.com, Newsmax.com, Pat Buchannan and all manner of Neo-conartist propagation. I'm surprised that the GOP did not have me on their mailing list. Suddenly if not sooner the daily deluge ceased. As the farcical operatives of this administration committed blunder after blunder and the democrats took back the House and Senate, his daily barrage of bile ended. Public opinion had blown the other way, and was now blowing the winds of change and aroma of stench of the most corrupt administration back toward him. I had long since stopped sending him my opinion regarding any political or environmental issue, knowing that it would only upset him and stir the pot. I had discussed these tirades with a mutual friend and we both came to the conclusion that any political discussions with him would be off-limits, due to his volatility.

I had mentioned to him the week after GWB's first election, that I would predict that his administration would be the worst in US history, I glad to see that he fulfilled one promise...
Told YA!

If it takes a Village to raise a child...

surely it will not take the entire country to raze the idiots!

While there still seems to be a fairly permanent 27-29% support for the powers that be; they seem to be made up of idealistic Reganites, extreme Neo-conservatives, or left-over Nixonion dreamers. If take a microscopic examination of the perpetrators of this fiasco in the Middle East, most are former Regan and Nixon staffers, with their dream of elimination of government. If you ask most neophytes to politics why they like RR, the only response they come up with is, "he brought pride back to America".

Most of us were always proud to be Americans. We were just not proud of what our government was telling us here and doing there. When Americans traveled beyond our shores they were treated as intruders, not because we were conquers, but because we were bullies. Our covert operations teams were performing unspeakable things in the name of freedom, "to keep us safe from Communism". Communism was a defunct, derelict, corrupt system of payoffs and bribes. Communism was not unlike some of our larger cities in the states. Grease a palm here, pat a back there, leave an envelope on a table in a corner....well you get the picture.

What is so ironic about all of them, the conservatives, is that they would never had a JOB without the government they espouse to hate!

They forget the barest essentials of road maintenance, water supply, first response, police and fire departments are all government agencies. Not to even mention the bane of all conservatives, EDUCATION.

Why do they despise education of the masses? Why do they only want an educated elite?
