Bush Knows His History

But nothing has changed in the minds of the leftists who vote Democratic.

Bump! I had a similar experience here in Minnesota.

This is what should be a warning caution to all of us. We see some massive denoument of the liberal/socialist mindset blow up in their faces...and they refuse to confront their failure.

E.g., as one example, the Soviet Union's 75 years of bad weather for its crops. The socialists are absolutely resistant to learning, or should I say, "relearning" , to honestly describing reality. They are zealots and creatures totally of their 'utopian vision.' Dennis Prager really nailed them when he described theirs as the most dangerous of mental types. The distopias of their own making could be right in front of them, and all they see is the 'shining path' they are on to their paradise.

Go to your local library and ask for an inter-library loan from the Library of Congress for the microfilm of your old newspaper from the approx. dates you're thinking of. I'm am almost certain the Library will have it.

I love the photos and I suppose WE ALL do! Right on~~~~~~~

I'm glad. Thanks for the feedback, sweetheart.

sorry, don't know if anyone uses this anymore, if they ever did... bflr = Bump For Later Read.

That's what makes it so funny. Real BIG words.

You too can be a bookworm. Check into this neat dictionary.

So, if you want to know if you've ever jargogled, marmarized or edulcolated anything, if anyone you know is psittaceous, valgus or a gobemouche, or what a diplasiasmus, a krobylos or lares and penates are, then this is the book for you.

Glad to see this reply to Peter Beinart and his stupid and concocted defense of Truman as against Bush. Nevertheless, one should hope that Bush won't give like Truman gave in China.

And back on the home front, one hopes there is nothing but differences between the two men. Truman was a New Dealer through and through. He stood for price controls ...

Good points. I saw Beinart on TV last week, maybe it was on Kudlow & Company, advocating raising the minimum wage. As far as Truman's price controls went, he finally figured out they didn't work, at least on meat, or at least he should have.

They didn't work anywhere. In my area of study, the automotive industry, those price controls destroyed the independent manufactures, who were ultimately replaced by the likes of Volkswagon, Datsun, Toyota, and Honda.

Sen. Bob Taft saved the nation with Taft-Hartley, which halted labor's stranglehold and bashed Truman's economic policies.

One of my prayers is that President Bush will live long enough to receive the gratitude of this nation. It's amazing to me to see so much of the "What have you done for me today?" attitude on this site. President Bush is a great president, and we are lucky we have him.

AMEN! (Hi there, FRiend!)

[FreeKeys]

Delightful! Thanks for the heads-up.

As to public schools dumbing down children, YOU are a PERFECT example of that! Your entire post is grammatically incorrect, absent correct capitalization, misspelled words, and ridiculous conspiracy theories, that nobody but lefties and mordant idiots believe.

WHING - Zing!!! - Bingo!

Very well stated endictment of the silliness in that post.

[AFPhys]

"endictment"

AAGH! ... --> "indictment"

[pollyannaish]

LOL. Looks like fun.

Go to your local library and ask for an inter-library loan from the Library of Congress for the microfilm of your old newspaper from the approx.

Great idea! Not sure if I can access this route as I live in a tiny rural area and have to PAY for a library card at the county library that has, in it's name "Free Library"

I'm stubborn. However, since my town doesn't have it's own library, I have access - FREE ;o) - via mail, to the state library.

I'll give it a go!

No matter what your FR name says, you truly must be from Maine! Call Augusta. There's a nice Carnegie library in the town. They're actually quite useful. If you're anywhere near Presque Isle (aka "a tiny rural area"), I actually know a librarian there.

Btw, I'm a lifelong Summer resident. You're welcome to hate me!

Thanks for the ping!

Eleanor Roosevelt once said something like, "The Communists are just liberals in a hurry," referring to the ones in the Soviet Union.

You said:

I stil have trouble beliving a bunch of guys that could barely speak english and couldn't really pass flight school, was able to fly a plane into the world trade center. And not just one but TWO planes. And how did the thrid building fall? Prior to this building falling, NO such building had collasped do to fire.

Followed by:

When I'm making 17.50 an hour, and i still have trouble feeding a family, I think there is something wrong.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think those two statements are connected. If you are so dense as to make the first statement it is no surprise to me that you should find yourself in the situation described in the second.
