Here are some inspiration words from President George W. Bush.

Good morning!

>>NYers making places like the Lehigh Valley their bedroom communities

Why ?? Too many taxes to pay in NY and NJ ?? That’s a long drive.

[Bitwhacker]

I watched the Paris, 1919 documentary again last nite, and I think I didn't get Wilson quite right before.

I said there were massive parallels between WW and Nobama, but the fact is that Wilson was a true liberal can't-we-all-just-get-along liberal whose schemes actually worked only in his imagination -- but he took great pains to work them out in his head. He was about building things that had never existed before (although he was hopelessly clueless about how the world worked in reality).

Nobama has no plan, has not worked anything out, does not try to foresee any consequences of his 'agenda', and goes on with the blind faith that all will run like a well-oiled machine simply by putting everything under control of the Feds.

Oh, and of course all of Nobama's 'agenda' items involve the tearing down of the status quo, generating immense chaos and pain, before his plans even begin to take effect, thereby causing endless crises that they surely cannot let go to waste.

The true parallel between WW and Nobama is their delusion that they both thought that they alone were uniquely qualified to solve all the world's problems.

(And: Keyes is still a dipwad, but for as bad an economist as he was, he was a pretty damned good accountant, coming up with the correct amount of $10 Billion that Germany could realistically afford to pay in reparations, as opposed to the $300 Billion that Lloyd George wanted -- and I give credit to Keynes for sticking with his number and resigning over the issue when they wanted him to go along...;-))

[Bitwhacker]

The taxes are waaay lower, and so are the house prices and the cost of living, too. And there are express trains that go right to NYC, especially if you go to Trenton first. What drives them nuts is that the Allentown area is typical Pennsyltucky out in the rural burbs..;-))

[Miss Marple]

I think you are still wrong.

Obama isn’t trying to build anything, even with poorly laid plans.

He is a destroyer. That is his mission. He thinks that he has fooled us and that he can do this while getting adulation from the masses. The rage you see now is because he knows his plans for destroying the country will be stopped after January. And he is in a rage because we don’t properly worship him.

His goal is to bring us to Third World status. He wants us all wandering the landscape, barefoot and in rags, foraging for food with the dogs, while he and his chosen few live in luxury.

I am serious about this. He is a bad person and should never have been given the power that he has.

[Guenevere]

You must have been a great comfort to her, Toby.

[Molly Pitcher]

Hi Jane!

I found it on the schedule last night and DVR'd it, Bit...

I think tearing down/building are 2 sides of the same coin, at least in this case.

Both 0 and Wilson are/were profoundly disaffected from our country's heritage of limited government, and adding in their particular viewpoints sought to cut that connection and replace it with something very different: statism.

In Wilson's time Europe - think of the earlier Bismarck - had some of this already flowing in its veins, and nearly 100 years later, it's come to dominate that continent with disastrous results.

I heard Mike Lee on Levin's show Friday night: he's running for the Senate in Utah, and he used this wonderul phrase..."reclaim our birthright of constitutionally limited government".

To me it's BIG thing than many of our candidates are using such phrases this election season.

Now must run off to church...

[MustKnowHistory]

I got my husband to watch this last night ( I can’t keep my eyes open past 9 p.m.) He gave the scoop this morning.

What I want to know is, what are the parallels with the Congress of Vienna that had to deal with post Napoleonic Europe? It is my impression that the Congress of Vienna did a much better job, in very similar circumstances, of preserving the peace in Europe during the 1800’s. The Treaty of Versailles was a disaster.

[The Raven]

If everyon e in Congress would read Restoring the Lost Constitution - Presumption of Liberty instead of the NY Times, we'd be on our way.

[Bitwhacker]

Well, that’s what I meant — Nobama’s design IS destruction...;-))

[tillacum]

I think you’re right Miss M. He is trying with all his might to bring America to 3rd world levels. That is what muslims do best.

[Bitwhacker]

I think it had to do with sticking it to France for Napoleon's adventures. Clemenceau wanted to stick it to Germany in a much grander way than the Germans had stuck it to France 100 years before, mainly because of the utter destruction of northern France in 1918 (which the Germans saw in all its appalling glory while riding the train into Paris), and the 1.3 million dead. He wanted territory ceded to France, especially Germany's colonies, and he wanted borders redrawn with as much territory as possible between France and Germany, just as borders had been redrawn and territory had been ceded at the Congress of Vienna.

Wilson irked Clemenceau no end when Wilson declared that the U.S. didn't want any reparations and no territory, on the grounds that Germany needed to be treated with respect because they would not remain a powerless nation for long and would remember what was done to them (and boy, was that ever a prescient insight ;-)). Lloyd George had run for office promising $350 Billion in reparations, so he was miffed at Wilson, too, for not blessing the looting of Germany...;-))

[The Raven]

How about some Sunday humor??? Here's a short Bob Hope clip

[lysie]

Classic.

[Jemian]

I agree. That was a very funny line.

[MustKnowHistory]

Yes, WWI was fought mainly on French territory. There was very little destruction in Germany.

The Keynes insight is also interesting. He was realistic in what the Germans could pay in reparations.

Thanks for the insights!

Good afternoon and Happy Lord’s Day everybody. Bible Study class had a brunch this morning which means we won’t need to have anything else to eat until an early supper. I’m catching up on FR, the news and just about to kick the recliner back for a while.

zzzzz.....
