A Hate Crime

[sirs]

...As concluded by a radical liberal, who has a track record of being 99% wrong in all those claims/accusations

The GOP is in the process of becoming extinct. That is a good thing.

You are probably correct, to be replaced by true fiscal conservatives, which would in fact be a good thing. It would be nice if they could keep the socons out, but we'll see.

[sirs]

We can only hope.  Need a few more Tea Party folk, focused on the fiscal issues, and not so much on the social issues

Being as the teabaggers mostly flunked math as well as spelling, they will be hard to find.

The whole idea of "starving the beast" to balance the budget has never worked, and never will work.

[sirs]

If we're going to entertain this ridiculous rant and teabaggers supposedly flunked math, then leftists played hookie, and never even went to class to begin with, both in math & in economics.

Well.... there you go again.

I have heard this before, more than once.

More than I have faith in the Republican partys ability to improve when it is spanked enough.
I have tremendous faith ing the Democratic partys ability to embarrass itself severely when it is in power.

You know what is stupid?

Calling everyone in the opposing party stupid.

Really. How does that work?

Somewhere around 4th grade a standardized test is given and all the students who don't do well on it are labelled Republicans? Then neglected by the teaching profession in order to make that deficiency permanent?

That would be a logical conspiracy theory except when one examines most remedial classrooms the odds are pretty heavy that the registrants vote D.

Let's give the stoopid charge a rest.

This board is getting worse than youtube comments.

Geez

I did  not call Reagan stupid. He was an exceptionally talented actor.

He was however, ignorant. Most of what he knew was simply untrue.

And no, he did not "tear down this wall": the Germans themselves did this. And it was not because Gorbachev was afraid of the US that he did not send the Red Army.

[Plane]

Hehehehehee!

That is very funny!


Reagan understood the situation of the world better than any contempoary politician this side of Margret Thatcher.

But don't take my word for it, see what Margret Thatcher and Michael Gorbachof had to say about him.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Thatcher was another evil bitch.

[Plane]

Hehehehehee!

By "evil" do you mean something specific, or is that just the impression you get from reading her bio in Mother Jones?

[Xavier_Onassis]

I actually visited England during the Thatcher years.

Many of the Brits I spoke with hated her guts. I actually READ BOOKS about such things, Plane. Thatcher was clearly both evil and a bitch.

[Plane]

  I was in the Navy then, I met expat and tourist English everywhere.

  They liked Thatcher very much.  It is probly a lot like here , some like the leadership and some don't no matter who it is.

   I hear lately that Argentina is pressing its claim on the Falklands again, perhaps not militarily this time.

[Xavier_Onassis]

The Falklands were taken by England when Argentina was busy with political turmoil. The people there are British, so naturally they would prefer to be a part of the UK.

Thatcher fought the war to save her own political fortunes. The Argentine generals at the time did the same. It was very stupid war.

There was a pretty good Argentine film made about it. "Iluminados por el fuego", Blessed by Fire.

The main character is an Argentine who was eventually captured by the Brits.

[Plane]

Yes and they are at it again.
