Favorite president

[shrundowr]

Friends of mine still there (Louisiana) tell me that since Katrina everything has gone through the roof, that sucks. Get you a rake, head to the swamp and get your own Bro LOL

Built all my own "rakes" when young and scraped the ditches, would come up with tons of the things then head for a crawfish boil LOL

Find you some expanded metal (small holes so they can't get out), put a handle on it and then sell what you can't eat...make a profit!!!

Well TBH, the price was already going up due to the damn chinese imports takin over the market. people prefer to buy cheap even if it sacrifices flavor, so crawfish farmers here had to raise their prices to handle the competition, then the hurricane comes and shoots sky high., I bet it will do the same as gasoline though. Once they know you're willing to pay that much, even if the shortage is over the price wun go down, cuz they know they can get that much from you. I have a bunch of holes in my backyard and theres some in the carencro bayou (ok its basically a giant coulee lol) might go do that one day. but their awfully tiny compared to the farm ones. one of my nieces that I'm staying with, before all the hurricane shit happened, had caught one in the ditch in their yard puty it in their aqauarium, and thats things still living. I doubt he realizes what a lucky life he has as a pet.

ROFLMAO yea, I can see you now slipping him out of the aquarium and heading to a pot LOL

I think your mistaken on several of these points facts unknown to the majority of the General Public.

Lets start with Pacifist....

Hate to tell you this Buddy but that 691,000 Pounds of Ordnance was more than was used in the entire 1st Gulf War... and that was over 80 days not in 4.....
Pacifist Retard I think not Intelligent Leader Sounds more like it.

You cannot compare FDR's "The New Deal" to current National Situations...FDR boosted goverment size in order to create jobs and promote economic growth in what was at the time the best possible way.....

Bush and any Republican/Democrat/3rd Party who supports his actions to do so need to resign as they have created and intergrated communist and socalist indeals into this country in a greater fashion than any other living or dead congressional or presidental party ever has. NEVER Prior to this time in our history has the US gone to such great lengths as to violate laws it has passed in order to collect information and intelligence on it's own peoples....Never untill now has the Civil Services (police namely) had the right to search your homes, tap your phones, or spy on you without a warrant or apparent probable cause (now they can do these things to gain probable cause to issue a warrent). These actions are done in the Name of Liberty but are only comparable to actions of organizations such as the KGB, SS, and the Getstapo of former Communist USSR and WWII era Nazi Germany...

Hate to break it to you, PS...I expected more out of you.

"Clinton's Economy" was the result of Bush Sr. and Reagan. He couldn't make a decent economy himself if he tried.

So, he was coasting.

And all that stuff about "Civil Services"...smells like fascism. Get your parties straight. Or go take a nap. Either works.

a glass of Iced Tea ..

I would like to find a glass of ice anything...they do not serve much ice here and if you ask for some you get maybe 2 -3 cubes if lucky..most places just do not have ice


Strange eh?..

 

[Kiwi]

Whos your favorite president?
And do you or do you not like Bush.

I don't have a favorite, and I obviously do not like Bush. Why would I like the man who would wipe me off the face of the planet given the chance?

 

[NiteStar]

I still like Alfred E. Newman but am seriously leaning toward Daffy Duck this time

I do have my parties straight all that fascism stuff was a result of the Patriot act which was pushed for and inacted by and it's results consistantly defended by G.W......As far as using the term Civil Services...that's pretty common term to use when speaking of things like oh...Police, Postal Carriers, Fire Fighters, since well they server the general public, that's why you have to take a test called "The Civil Servants Exam" to get a position in some of them.

As far as Regan/Bush Economics..."Trickledown Economics" don't work won't work and can't work in America. Before this Trickledown effect can take place the money has long been since hidden and enveloped in corporations and non-taxable holding so as to protect and horde it for the upper class minority. While Clinton didn't completely abandon this because it's good for bussiness he did enact changes that gave benifits for the lower and middle classes and enacted bills that gave businesses tax breaks for actually employeeing people, during his 8 years unemployment went down and wages went up there are only about oh a couple million newpaper reports that prove it.

He also pushed and enacted several acts of walefare reform that put limitations on how long you could receive benifits before you were considered freeloading. Used to be if you were on Unemployment you could continue to draw it as long as you showed you were looking for a job. You took a paper to the prospective employer who signed it to prove you had a job interview. Now those prospects have to contact your unemployment offices and verify that you were either offered the position or denied it. If you were offered the position and refused to take it your unemployment is yanked.

Things like AFDC were changed to keep women from becoming "baby factories" in order to draw benifits now there is a limit on how long you can draw this benifit in your life time. This was done to reduce the number of unwed/single mothers who spend all their lives at home doing nothing but leeching off the working population.

i just learned something from listening to the radio today...
Democrats cant answer questions without avoiding a stone question such as do you think this is wrong yes or no...
They always try and come up with some other answer besides yes or no and you bring them back to yes and no and they still try to avoid i was laughing so hard listening to the radio this morning...

That's politicians in general, not just Democrats

 

[NiteStar]

You are exactly right, what ever party is being questioned will dance around for an hour to avoid a direct answer because they are attempting to please everyone just to get a vote as well as the fact that none of them want to own up to doing something that might not turn out as predicted.

Democrats, Republicans, Independents all do the same trash, all being a politician and nothing new about that.

The very best a voter can do is research each and every candidate no matter the party and if they think that person has a decent track record while serving in other offices then vote for that person.

We have our state elections coming up soon for governor and I am leaning toward voting for a Republican candidate this time and all because the man makes sense as well as the fact that he is a business man and knows how to get things done, I have had it with professional politicians around here, they are all liars in my tiny book.

If you lock yourself in to voting for just one party you are not doing yourself any favors.

thats tradition...
Tradition rules -_-

 

[shrundowr]

The Format, you're an idiot. I wun call TMS and Joeku that cause they're good in bed, But you just sorta popped out of nowhere and started speaking through your ass. TMS I love seeing you at a loss for words.

 

[theformat]

so exactly what am i being called an idiot at here?

 

[TMSTKSBK]

I'm not at a loss for words. It's called work. You should try it sometime.

To straighten y'all out once more:
Socialism <<<<<<< Center >>>>>>>> Fascism

Of course, they're both pretty similar. Politics is really a big circle. Just with some slight ideological differences that can't be reconciled.

 

[theformat]

whos far left and whos far right?

 

[TMSTKSBK]

Meh. Most of the time it is portrayed as a line. With left-and-right as the two options. This is mainly because of the two-party system in the US...but it's really not a line, and there are more considerations than just those on a linear path between left and right.

 

[Johabius]

I feel like I'm very centered in my political beliefs. Certain issues, I seem to take a conservative view on and there are certain issues that I feel demand a liberal solution. It would be a much better world if more people could meet in the middle and compromise

 

[TMSTKSBK]

Meh. Most of my "core" beliefs are far-right or libertarian...which is still basically far-right. I don't quite hold the party line on some items. Most of which have nothing to do with taxation, government size, or military strength.

 

[theformat]

far right = republican : /

 

[TMSTKSBK]

Not necessarily
