#149; "I do not understand the Phone Booth mentality of many Conservatives. I think that there is a superiority complex of many that nobody is as conservative as me so I won’t soil my hands with these lessers. ... Individually it may be refreshing but Nationally it is a disaster. That will insure a Communist Country and is exactly what the Rats are counting. They understand incrementalism and have been doing it while our Walk on Water Conservatives have been Washing Their Hands. ..."
#189; "Exactly, the primary is where you campaign and get Your candidate elected. However, if your candidate is not elected you don’t sit out the General because now there is not a “conservative” by your definition. ... Rush Limbaugh could run and he wouldn’t be Conservative enough for me, but if he is my only choice then it is incrementally better than HilaryCare. Same goes for all our candidates...."

#34; "Someone should contact John Boy & Billy or Rush Limbaugh, et al. and suggest they start a national public service radio campaign urging anyone planning to visit Washington, DC on vacation and possibly tour the US Capitol Building and the House and Senate visitor galleries to get their shots as well. ... After all, there’s no telling what sort of cooties those Congressmen, Senators and their staff are carrying, not to mention the communicable disease threat presented by all those MSM types who constantly hang around there."
#215; "'Whenever the Dem/commies go unchallenged you can be sure they will rewrite history.' ... Thank you for stating once again this vitally important Truth. It cannot be overstated or repeated too often. ... The Leftists, just like the Islamists, never, ever concede the Struggle. If they lose a battle, or even a war, the survivors immediately regroup and begin planning a fresh offensive. If they agree to negotiate, compromise, call a truce or sign an agreement it is invariably a ploy, a strategem, a 'hudna' if you will, to buy time for them to regroup, rearm and then resume the attack at a more favorable opportunity. The control of language and history are major weapons in their arsenal. ... They are, in short, implacable totalitarians for whom the terms "compromise" and "agreement" are merely battle tactics, not an end in themselves, and 'peace' means the destruction of their opponents and the eventual 'absence of resistance' (socialists) and 'submission' (Islamist) to the imposition of their will. ... I believe that the great lesson of the Twenty-First Century, as yet unlearned, will be that the utopian dream of compromise and co-existance with these virulent, anti-life, anti-human and anti-God belief systems is simply not possible. Unfortunately, the cost will be horrific." (Note: reply to rodguy911's post #125)

#127; "Whilst I agree in principle with the resolution passed in Congress (my mother had an Armenia friend as a child who she re-contacted a few years before her death) I also disagree strongly with it as you say it puts coalition soldiers in danger. ... Turkey is tinder box waiting to erupt and things like this resolution starts the smoldering. The coalition needs Turkey airspace and their goodwill. It is a similar dilemma that the EU have with Turkey waiting Membership which again in principle I am against but one has to be pragmatic. At present the EU has granted Turkey most of the trade agreements that the EU have with other EU members but Turkey want full Membership but refuse to recognise a fellow member of the EU Cyprus."
#197; "I would also add to that decline in moral compass due to the State replacing the church which is probably part of what you are referring to in welfare. ... The saddest statistic I find this side of the pond and is probably true in the States as well the number of young kids having babies at 15, 16, 17 etc just so they get social security payments and a flat (apartment) When the Tories a few years ago suggested if elected that they would stop these entitlements in an effort to stop teenage pregnancies they were called mean, out of touch and trying to enforce outdated moral standards. Sound familiar? ... What is actually needed here IMHO is and although I do not like the idea of my money spent on it it is better than just hand outs is to try to get to the root of the problem which is the breakdown of family life. ... At present in Britain it seems that Labour has no new ideas and immediately the Tories suggest something that could work they adopt it. We have seen this twice in the last week. Once with inheritance tax the government now looks as if it is going with the Tories proposal on a higher threshold and also taxing non domiciles which is something that has to be addressed as it costing the treasury millions. The latest one is that they are looking at rewarding tax breaks for married couples something they took away and the Tories want to re-introduce in order to promote marriage. The Labour Party made tax credit available for those with children which you have to apply for but includes non married couples but took away tax relief if you were married with no children something that traditionally we have always had."
#209; "I also think that the white community are deluding themselves if they think it solely a problem of the black community maybe statistically more but it affects both. ... I think with the white community when relationships break down more males continue to financially support and see the children so this distorts the figures, also white males are more inclined to live or marry white women with children from other relationships which again distorts the figures. ... I would like to see figures where you have families over a ten year period of male, female and children how many of the children are the biological or adopted children of that couple, I suspect not many. ... The breakdown in family life is ruining society in my opinion and people seem to see nothing wrong in it especially if mummy or daddy has remarried. In most cases though they have left emotionally damaged children along the way. ... I can remember in Britain when Ronald Reagan was elected the outrage in certain areas that America would elect a President who had been divorced today no one would bat an eyelid. It was also considered an anti with Margret Thatcher that she was married to a divorcee - my how have times changed and not for the better."

#159; "A lot of myths abound. ... According to 2005 Census Bureau statistics, the male African-American population of the United States aged between 18 and 24 numbered 1,896,000. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 106,000 African-Americans in this age group were in federal or state prisons at the end of 2005. See table 10 of this report. If you add the numbers in local jail (measured in mid-2006), you arrive at a grand total of 193,000 incarcerated young Black males, or slightly over 10 percent. ... 'According to the same census data, 530,000 of these African-American males, or twenty eight percent, were enrolled in colleges or universities (including two-year-colleges) in 2005. That is five times the number of young black men in federal and state prisons and two and a half times the total number incarcerated. If you expanded the age group to include African-American males up to thirty or thirty five, the college attendees would still outnumber the prisoners.'"
#185; "More... As for violent deaths, we asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for a list of the ten leading causes of death for black males, aged 18 to 24, in 2004. The top three causes of death in this age group were (1) homicide (2,140 deaths), unintentional injury (948 deaths), and suicide (332 deaths). Deaths from HIV AIDS ranked sixth (67 deaths.) If we add the homicide, suicide, and HIV deaths together, we get 2,539 deaths. That is a combined death rate from violent causes or AIDS of around 0.13 percent for this segment of the population. Hardly an epidemic."

#59; "... One funny thing lots of people seemed to have missed this week is that the bozo who announced that Algorr won the "novel" peace award (no spelling error there) pronounced Gore's name as Albert Algorr meaning that Rush has succeeded once again in renaming the dumbest VP ever as ALGorrrr. ... Doesn't get much better than that."
#67; "Rush continually shows that Dems who constantly go up against him and lose,over and over,time after time are the stupidest humans on earth. ... He'll be donating the money from the sale of their latest desperate attack attack on him to a college fund for kids of fallen soldiers. ... Doesn't get much better than that. ... Just to twist the knife in a little more, Rush challenged the dems to match the money. ... You can bet they will do their best to ignore him and forget their latest idiotic move against him. ... But than that's the only good thing about the Democrats. Left on their own they always succeed in self destructing."
#81; "At this point in the game we have 3 serious contenders for potus,Rudy,Fred,and Mitt. ... Fred or Mitt will best Hillary since no matter how many Pinocchio syndromes the rats create the Hitlery beast is still frozen at 46% since most voters know she is the titular head of the Crime family and not much more. ... Rudy remains the only hope the DBM/rats have for a win. Even that assumes that so many rabid conservatives will twist their knickers so bad that they actually do create a third party that gets 5-10% of the vote letting the Queen of all that is evil win. ...

Truth is not necessary, only the potential for advancing their socialist mantra to conquer this and many other countries. ... Unfortunately, as long as we are willing to sit by while they advance one vacuous notion after another they will keep advancing."
#186; "I often wonder if environment is not key to one's lot in life. ... For example if you are brought up in a cradle to grave mantra and you have seen the last few generations of your relatives being taken care of by big govt. maybe that's all you know. ... On the other hand, if you are brought up in the poorest country in the Caribbean, say Haiti, and you are allowed entrance to the US, you have never know cradle to grave care taking. When Haitians succeed in virtually everything they do almost immediately,(with few if any skills) how big a consequence is environment in one's life?"
