I wonder what you would consider the high point.<BR/><BR/>Here's a quick proof that your saying "All that glitters is not gold" is inherently false.<BR/>1. Gold glitters.<BR/>2. Gold is gold.<BR/>3. Something that glitters is gold.<BR/><BR/>What you probably mean is "Not all that glitters is gold." That would just be too logical, though.AdamBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625655604759074752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-3938331872663751632008-03-17T15:43:00.000-05:002008-03-17T15:43:00.000-05:00Merle said: "the United States of America is still...Merle said: "the United States of America is still the safest capitalist democracy in the FREE world."<BR/><BR/>Should have read: "...capitolist republic in the FREE world."<BR/><BR/>Those two words have very different meanings.

As for Michelle, I can't say I blame her for her statements. Reagan was able to make us feel good about being Americans at the height of the Cold War, but he enacted a devastating brand of class warfare and phony number-crunching with his "Reaganomics." Bush Sr. was a realist, but got us into a war with Panama, of all places, that led to the senseless deaths of over 5000 innocent civilians while claiming to be after one man--Manuel Noriega--when the USG was actually incensed that the Panamanians had been talking to Japanese interests over control of the Canal. Then we had Clinton, who had a decent enough foreign policy, but brought embarrassment to the Office of the Presidency and the Democratic Party with his sexual escapades. <BR/><BR/>Now, we've suffered under one of the most hard-line authoritarian administrations in this country's history for the past seven years, completely discrediting us in the world arena--something increasingly important in a global economy--while facing draconian cuts to our civil liberties, cross-governmental oversight and environmental policies while bailing out banks and corporations before putting forth the needs of the people. Is it any wonder that for the first time in that woman's life she's felt truly proud to be an American, and truly involved in the process as a black man is now a leading contender for the Presidency, when people of her race have been marginalized and cast aside for centuries? I don't think that's extreme, and I certainly wouldn't call it hateful or racist. It is merely the product of our culture thus far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-9549738300434615302008-03-16T11:48:00.000-05:002008-03-16T11:48:00.000-05:00Actually I am a long time Republican who is absolu...Actually I am a long time Republican who is absolutely fed up with Wars. I like McCain, but abhor his war policy and immigration policy. He has not submitted a plan to resolve Social Security or Medicare funding either. I simply do not want more of the same. We need to change our present path dramatically. If McCain does not offer that, he will lose big.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-41132897641887546292008-03-15T12:47:00.000-05:002008-03-15T12:47:00.000-05:00Joe,I suspect that you don't care for McCain.

No problem, the United States of America is still the safest capitalist democracy in the FREE world.<BR/><BR/>It will remain the FREEIST under the leadership of John McCain and the cabinet he will rely on for advise. I suspect he will and indeed, already has, altered some of his views (including immigration) as president.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.Merle Widmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267875223386924271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-1261675188334707792008-03-15T07:22:00.000-05:002008-03-15T07:22:00.000-05:00So we will be stuck with Mccain and his amnesty an...So we will be stuck with Mccain and his amnesty and war mongering. Is that the option you prefer? We will direct all of the illegal immigrants to your back yard, where they can set up tents and live off your largesses.<BR/><BR/>JoekozAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
