Well stated comments Soren.
Bayern, look at how my name is spelled. Try to get it correct. Its not too hard, or is it the intent that matters? Of course the Left's love of outcome based education doesnt emphasize spelling, does it? But that explains the dumbing down, doesnt it. Feel good, be stupid.
Some nice little diatribes, yet is seems the point has been missed. I had to get up off the floor a couple of times from sheer laughter at those Jimmy Carter comments. JC spread more viruses than the many that attack Windows daily. The Iran situation has his fingerprints all over it, and the enboldenment of the terrorists is a clear result of his neuter methods that allowed the whole nation to be held hostage ( they believe we lack will, and the present Leftist position sunstantiates that ), what a complete embarassment ( and add to that the abandonment of Vietnam in 75 by a Democrat congress, totally running away from out treaty obligations ). Add in his mismanagement of the military ( over 50 % of ships and aircraft unable to answer the call to duty ), the creation of the Dept of Education, and 20 plus percent interest rates, wow great legacies. Then, post president, he brokers the deal for North Korea, he sho nuff made that a humdinger, didnt he?
The Copperhead tag is so fitting, and could fit any group that decides to oppose for the sake of opposing, not to advance causes. To throw that at the GOP in the 90's is pretty weak, or you all simply have short memories. The GOP took control of the budget, thus forcing balanced budgets, cuts in the deficits, tax restructuring, the overhaul of welfare, the stopping of HillaryCare, and more. Bill Clinton was an excellent politician ( still is ), and recognized where defeat would be and decided to go along with the GOP Contract for America agenda, and in return got cutbacks and military restructuring, a well fought victory on the balance on year that put the Congress on its guard, and more. . So, for now, Copperheads fits the mindless opposition to GW Bush, opposition that doesnt engage in reason other than to oppose. That type of behaviour endangers our nation. As Soren mentioned, opposition that opposes with reason, with explanation, is good, and that is what out govt is set up to thrive on.This other crap is simply a blight to us as citizens, to our nation, and to the rest of the world that relies on us being strong and free.
