It must be rough for you guys. Your side hasn’t produced any great statesmen so you hate it when ours are honored.

Considering what you think is a “great statesman”…………….

Great Statesman????????

Now that IS funny!

It’s a shame your side hasn’t produced men of any substance or consequence. I suppose that those motivated solely by money and personal gain aren’t prone to doing anything very worthwhile for society.

It’s probably due to inferior genetics that also cause them to be conservatives. In a way, conservatism is a handicap.

Yeah, what a statesman….drunken sexual assault…drunken driving resulting in death… hooray

Mark is right, Dino fails to define what a great statesman is, what standard he uses. Probably it requires someone able to advance a liberal, humanistic, socialist agenda.

Liberals have a strange view of statecraft. JFK was handsome, charming, made women swoon, and he went to Berlin and sympathized with the plight of those behind the Berlin Wall, held captive by the Communists. He said he was a Berliner at heart and he left without freeing one human being behind that Iron Curtain. Reagan was much older, no longer a movie star and he went to Berlin and seeing those in bondage said to Gorbachev, “tear down this wall!” He had a plan to bring it down and shortly therafter it came down and many tens of millions of people for the first time in their lives tasted liberty and had a chance at prosperity.

Now Dino and his fellow travelers worship JFK and his compassionate words, even though they accomplished nothing. They hate Reagan, a greatr man that set people free by the force of his will! That is the difference, the standard of greatness for liberals is to sound compassionate, to feel the pain of others, even if their policies, as they most often do, leave people in worse shape than before. While they spit on deeds of non-;iberals that actually improve the lives of other human beings.

History books are filled with praise for liberals like Kennedy. They are devoid of great conservatives.

Conservatives don’t produce great statesmen. Their sense of selfishness stunts their ability to contribute to the greater good, stunted as well by the wishes of their constituency to preserve the status quo, no matter how detrimental to others.

Conservatism is a disease of the mind and deficiency of the soul. A genetic malformation resulting in the inferiority of thought and intellect. That’s why those afflicted with the malady can’t even perceive that they have it.

The free lunch bunch didn’t learn anything from their Paul Wellstone fiasco.

Actually, I have more than a grudging respect for the late President Kennedy. He ran on the promise to “get this country moving again.” And his first economic policy initiative was to cut tax rates to stimulate economic and employment growth.

Kennedy was the first president since Calvin Coolidge to reduce tax rates, and as before (and since) those reduced rates of taxation caused an increase in economic growth and private sector employment.

He certainly wasn’t much of a “statesman” and his foreign policy was far more fluff than substance. But his domestic economic policy was nearly two decades ahead of Art Laffer and the so-called “supply-siders.” And most importantly, it worked.

I fully expect his funeral will turn into a political rally, and a Repbulican bashing protest. Watch, it will. Democrats just can’t help themselves.

Remember Wellstone in MN?

Hey, it was profitable to buy homes once upon a time in our economy as well. Didn’t work out so well for millions of Americans….did it.

Things aren’t always the way they used to be. We used to have a controlled public school system full with well behaved children. That isn’t exactly the reality these days either.

Anyone remember when farming was a reliable source of wealth for farmers?

Shit changes old man, wake up and get with the times.

That is your legacy and Bush earned it. The Kennedy legacy earned what they are getting as well.

H,

You couldn’t write a more convoluted sentence if you tried. Have you considered an ESL course? You ought to!

Shit changes old man…[sic]

Some things do indeed change. Other things do not. Those of us with at least a modest level of intelligence can recognize the difference.

Not to embarrass you again, but the laws of supply and demand, like the law of gravity, or the mathematical definition of pi, do not change. They are immutable.

On the other hand, my former respect for your ability to put together a cogent, pertinent, well-reasoned argument has steadily declined over the past year to the point where it just ain’t worth measuring any more. Another year and the respect deficit will have reached truly Obama-like proportion.

Real estate, commercial and residential, like farming, will once again become profitable for the shrewd investor. It’s important to understand however, that all those things you’ve pointed to as having changed for the worse, are directly attributable to the witless interference of government at the behest of self-righteous liberals who simply can’t abide the notion that individuals ought to be free to live their own lives, make their own decisions, and accept the responsibilities and the consequences of their own actions.

Hey, it was profitable to buy homes once upon a time in our economy as well. Didn’t work out so well for millions of Americans….did it.

It’s only “profitable” to buy things that are free from govt rigging. As we found out when the govt-created real estate bubble deflated, govt-rigged markets are bad for the economy.
For thirty years, the govt tried to rig the home market for social engineering purposes, and then covered up the bad loans by having them bought up and guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie, but that bubble burst, because it wasn’t based on real value.
BTW, moron; generally speaking, people buy homes to live in them and to raise their families in them, not because it’s “profitable”. House flipping was just another bad consequence of Dem market-rigging for social engineering purposes.

More leftwing fluff… no discernible substance. I’ll give you this, kid, you are predictable.

What do you think elections are about? Do you ever even think before you type the nonsensical dreck you publish here?

HAHAHAHA! Elections are about winning? I thought elections were about electing representatives who balance out the wishes of the constituency and integrating that with a representative Democracy.

But you know…..win at any cost…..right POOFIE?

That is the utopia you wish to return to

This level of ignorance is taxing. To have to go back and explaing the fallacy employed and why prevents any profitable discussion. These sick liberal bastards will grasp at anything they can twist to make an argument, even when it is a complete farce.

He literally uses the word “your side” and “winning” when it comes to politics.

In the words of your own messiah, dumb little H:

“I won.” – Barack Obama

You mean like arguing not against what Obama’s bill states but what you think the secret agenda is HG??

Considering the total lack of transparaency by the Congress and Obama Administration in this matter, all the people can do, the only avenue wherein they can protect their interests, is to look at the proposed legislation in the House, the past statements of the many politicians involved, the present dangers to government run social security and medicare; and the patterns of every socialist system in Europe and Canada and then come to certain conclusions about what appears to be the real intent of Congress and Obama.

The thing is, the Democrats are afraid to be transparent, the Health Care Reform legislation must be rushed, it must have too many pages fo anyone to understand, it must be passed in the dark of night, because they and you know it cannot stand up to any reasonable scrutiny.

Obama makes promises he cannot keep because he has offered no legislative program that demonstrates what he actually wants in health care reform and because he cannot control what Congress writes. So the people have risen up to demand full disclosure, to make sure their fears do not become reality, and yet you seem to hate, to react angrily the basic democratic principle of ‘we the people.”

Your anger and attacks do not contribute to understanding or mutual education. If you have facts please present them, let us discuss them and perhaps you can pursuade us we are in error on certain points and perhaps you can be educated as well. Or, take any single fact presented here and show us why it is wrong by using opposing facts. But, I must say that passion without any facts is a waste of your time and energy!

Accusations and derogatory personal comments only create anger!

Wrong again! I don’t do make-believe like you do, kid, and I have no reason to try and fake it. I’ve got the experience, the knowledge and the wisdom to look at the past and see what has worked, and what has not. And the language skills to articulate those conclusions.

We just need more FREEEEEEDOOOOMMMS. Right Bat.

That’s your plea?

You mean like arguing not against what Obama’s bill states but what you think the secret agenda is HG??

See what I mean? I spend an entire thread documenting the very behavior and words of liberals, including our President’s on these liberal policies only to have their words and behavior completely ignored.

Hannity rants…

Aren’t you the guy that defended Rob’s post titled “Obama removes 1200 Air Traffic Controllers from their job to Work on Cash For Clunkers”?????

Yes… the one that clearly stated at the outset that…

…essential safety personnel were not diverted from their duties.

At least old Ted can’t cause anymore problems.

In deference to his older brothers much more distinguished military career, Sen Edward M. Kennedy will be buried at sea.

Well Bat, it’s really more about the delivery place than the “Deliverance”.

(sounds of banjo)

No Offense, besides you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a picture of a hearse with a coffin sticking out.

True, I came up with a good joke, but I’m not sure if it’s too soon to tell it, what do you think.
