Yup. Except it was worse. There was no Internet, no talk radio -- nothing but the NYT, the (come to find out) world government loving Utopian Socialist Walter Cronkite and his media colleagues.
It was pretty bleak.
Great words, Dan. I’m printing out your excellent rant to show my parents (in their mid ‘70’s) to give them hope that all is not lost in the upcoming generation.
We’re raising our 11-year-old son to see the idiocy that is Marxism. He reads at an 11th grade level and perhaps one of his birthday gifts will be a copy of “Atlas Shrugged.”
I look forward to more of your vanities. You are a gifted and eloquent writer.
I hear ya.
Republicans should have hung this around the Democrats neck by now.
We never pressure those bastards and make them cave in.We should be screaming every damn day. Has anybody seen Republican leadership?
Un- friken- believable.
For a young person in their 20’s - you have been very well educated.
Congratulations - you give us hope. Oh, and I agree 100%.
It is so amazing to me that people will latch on to any sound byte - Bush and his oil buddies, Cheney and Bush are in it for the oil, etc. and will die with those beliefs. Yet, facts and truth will never be accepted. Only the rumor mongering tidbit is held on to for life.
Absolutely astounding and they treasure their bit of information that is based on nothing but “feelings”.
Well - you are sure throwing your vote down the sewer if you allow one more count for Obama. Use your God-given intelligence to think through your options. Remember - democrats operate on “feelings” - we operate with our minds and facts.
And courage - courage to do that which is distasteful if it helps prevent the destruction of our country.
Remember what the soldiers fought for - please do your part and fight with them.
You know full well what it is time for - to do all in our power to prevent liberal supreme court judges, to prevent a Marxist getting the leadership of the greatest nation on earth - so that our grandchildren have the privilege of living in the same America we did.
Anything else is pure ignorance, pure spitefulness, pure selfishness. None will be congratulating you on your selfishness if you chose to throw the country away.
The world has gone either mad or totally stupid.
I don’t respect those that will give one more vote to Obama.
I think they are selling us down the river of no conservative radio proponents, changes in the constitution to do away with the electoral system, more rulings like the one today on Guantanamo, liberal supreme court judges, more taxes, less freedom, gun control, rule changes in congress, elections and every other facet of life to control power, sap the funds of the populace and prevent any future loss of power.
Some people might need to grow up and realize votes do count and outcomes have to be reviewed. We don’t have the luxury of throwing away more conservative opportunities.
We need soldiers - not spoiled brats taking their ball home and teaching their team mates a lesson.
I do not think they are in the least self-destructing - they are winning and running off conservatives.
The country is getting more and more voters that want as many entitlements as they can get. They won’t say so, but this is the give-me generation.
And, when that happens, they do not want conservatives stopping the treasury from being their checkbook.
They also want to revel in their own ignorance and look to the government to take care of them so they have no responsibility to deny themselves even one luxury as they live their stupid lives.
And the ones teaching the GOP a lesson are playing into the plans of the moderates and giving our only party with any ability to counter the democrats to those who are democrat-lite.
That is what happens when you go up against a team intent on winning and a team with no ability to work as a team. Too many yellow-livered turncoats running.
Please explain in more detail, I’m dense and that is a good method.
Well, so am I. I'm also bitter.. and clinging to my guns.
Hey Claire, is it time yet? Or will it be time soon? I'm already too old, and not getting any younger.
Come back and talk to us in two or four years after McCain has had time to work his magic. IMO, there are going to be a lot of folks who thought McCain was going to save their ass, who will be furious by then.
I would much prefer this baby.
Future Weapons Video here It's the Active Denial System. Makes 'em feel like they are on fire.
""The pain is comparable to an intensified version of opening an oven and feeling the initial blast of hot air," said Staff Sgt. Jason Delacruz, an ADS operator who has also been exposed on several occasions for training purposes. "The effects are extremely sudden, and natural instincts automatically force you to quickly exit the target area."
I just simply ask them questions about any policy subject or Iraq, and President Bush, VP Cheney etc.
For example, Global Warming. Ask what temp would they like the earth to be? For how long? What about parts of the world who can now farm and could not before? Is that not good? How can one enforce mandates on the entire world?
Listen to their answer, and of course it will have no logic involved in the answer, so just keep asking, how? what? when? where?
As for Iraq and the Pres, ask, why would the Pres lie to go into Iraq? Wouldn't he know he'd be caught in the lie? Why didn't he plant WMD? Explain how his oil buddies would benefit? What was his motive? Would Blair, Rice, Rumsfeld, ect all lie too? For months and months? Why would Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice, Powell, all with decades in gov suddenly all go corrupt and sinister? Have any of them had histories of this behavior?
It's a process of elimination, eventually they will have no answer at all.

And Obama was asked about his cap gains policy in a debate and he had to answer that, yes, it would result in less revenue to the gov, and was asked how is that a good thing, he was forced to admit it wasn't a good thing but punished and was “only fair”. It doomed him as sophomoric and unserious.
I can feel it coming.
I think a lot of us feel it coming.
Push is coming to shove.
King Kennedy. He’s not my King.
You know he has his mug on the side of a tour bus holding a poodle.
I thought it was the Portland Max bus but on closer review it was ome website ad for rarebreeddogs something or another.
Also Judge Judy plastered on it with her dogs.
We share common ground... Good vanity!
Uh, John McCain?
