I just need this quick rant. Diane Reims read a letter a moment ago. It went something like this, in regard to the new Afghan offensive: I think Obama is taking big gamble. Success is fleeting. The solution is not guns and rockets. I think we should buy the opium harvest outright. Read more... (834 words, 3 images, estimated 3:20 mins reading time)

There is an email going around and posted in other places on the web with some supposed quotes by Thomas Jefferson:
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe .

It’s fine for passive citizens whose allegiance is more or less irrelevant. If you were a functioning part of the framework –
allegiance would be different. A soldier, for example, can’t question his orders. He must obey them, unless of course they are illegal. Our current climate nearly has solders requiring basic training in military law – with all the appeasement we’ve been attempting in Iraq when civilians get killed. Read more...

Interesting. We each seem to nurse a different though similar definition of patriotism. Dr. Dove, I don’t think you strayed at all. Do I understand correctly that patriot for you equals someone in total agreement with the current powers that be? Read more... (276 words, 2 images, estimated 1:06 mins reading time)

I’m not a big believer in stimulus. But if you give their economic theory the benefit of the doubt – Keynesian economics – it doesn’t matter. The bills the Dems have passed that they are calling stimulus doesn’t follow the model.

I get so irritated by noisy dove, because he has become a wind bag. It’s a bunch of emotion-laden ideas that “make sense” and are “logical,” but are backed up by little actual substance (i.e. facts).

The uniqueness of the summit was that it was on TV. Presidents have always gathered up congressmen and tried talking them into this or that.
