I have a better idea Fred, let’s just send the UN to Geneva or some like place and pull the heck out...put highrise apartments on the current property.
I like him.
John Birch was right, really right.
Fred Ping (FRing?)
This one is going to upset the International Socialist crowd....
If the left hasn’t run out of hate-filled euphamism’s to insult president Bush with, I can’t WAIT to see what they will come up with for President Thompson!
FreeRepublic Fred i.e. FRed.
Brilliant on the UN. Of course I have seen some on this forum call Fred a globalist.
If any President could pull off what you (and many others) are suggesting, it'd be him.
Though I think it would be a tough sell even for him - just imagine the uproar in our Socialist Congress.
You posted before I posted #10, but you might take a gander at it.
He’s got my vote. All he has to do is ask.
Not to quibble, but Fred’s assertion re the terrible inflation in Zimbabwe, “...inflation is at an annual rate of 3,700 percent and rising. Cash loses over ten percent of its value everyday.”, misstates the daily rate of inflation.
I’m no mathematician, but a rate of just less than 1% per day, not 10%, ought to result in something like that 3700% annual rate.
That’s part of the insidiousness of inflation.
They claimed Reagan was lazy too. Funny how lazy old Fred makes more TV appearances, does more radio shows and writes more articles than all the other candidates combined.
Roger that!!
And I have a BETTER idea:
Get us out of the UN and the UN out of the US!
Some essential history if you are to fully grasp the rot and the plot — at the core of this thoroughly corrupt gaggle of over-educated morons:

Huge rise in Zimbabwe inflation
|
||
Zimbabwe's rate of inflation surged to 3,731.9%, driven by higher energy and food costs, and amplified by a drop in its currency, official figures show. April's inflation rate jumped up from the 2,200% recorded last month, the Central Statistical Office (CSO) said. The announcement came after Zimbabwe's government created a commission charged with finding a way to curb the country's spiralling cost of living. There is high unemployment, and fuel and food shortages across the nation. Price increases to 'worsen' The surging cost of domestic electricity, food, fuel and commuter transport fares were at the heart of last month's price surges, the CSO said. Economists believe that these price increases will continue because Zimbabwe will be forced to import maize, a basic food staple, to make up for a lack of home-grown produce. The government has also recently warned of shortages of bread and flour, which may cause even more hardship. The BBC's Peter Biles said that only 10% of the country's winter wheat crop had been planted due to shortages of fuel and fertilizer. Last week, households in Zimbabwe were told they would be limited to four hours electricity supply a day in a move designed to support the country's wheat farmers, who need power to irrigate their crops. |
Re my #14 - I was right!

1% 365 times results in a gain of 3778.343%
Upon reflection, I suspect the figure 3700% probably was arrived at by forward calculating 1% per day. ;^)
“moneychimp” - is that like a trunk monkey?
