Ronald Reagan famously said "it's not that the Liberals don't know a lot of things, it that so much of what they know is wrong." I know this to be true. When I was a Liberal I thought I knew everything and, as it turns out, I was almost always wrong.
So many things that were just "true" because, well, that's what I'd been told and no one I ever met disagreed, have, in my enlightenment proved 180 degrees from reality.
The Vietnam War was not an "evil, illegal and immoral" war waged by evil and horrible Americans who saw money to be made in the "military-industrial boom" but an absolutely moral and just war fought to stop the spread of an evil empire that was already oppressing half of the people of Europe and spreading into another continent in Southeast Asia.
One of the "truisms" of America was that "money wins elections." This was simply a given not because I'd ever thought about it but because it's something repeated so often by those who denigrate America at every turn.
Yet, here we are and Mike Huckabee, who had no money, has been given a full and fair hearing. McCain, who was penniless not that long ago, is now the front-runner, Mitt Romney has all the money he needs, and yet he came in second to Huckabee in Iowa and McCain in New Hampshire and beneath both of them in South Carolina.
Meanwhile, on the leftist front, I don't think there are many people who believe that if the leftists pick Ms. Rodham-Clinton or Barack H. Obama, it's going to be because one or the other wasn't heard or seen enough.
Every time one of you complains about the system -- and there are things that can be made better about the system -- remember that this one slander (that in America money buys elections) has been proved wrong yet again.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 468 of 468Making the world safe for liberalism/democracy... Wasn't that Wilson's dream when the 16th Amendment kicked in? And almost immediately thereafter came "the war to end all wars" and "prohibition".
The DNC's religious crusade and temperance movement had begun! Hooray
To think that the Progressive Era and the Titanic were both launched in the same year! Divine Irony, I'd say.
Oh, so how you're blaming WWI on Wilson/Democrats/16th Amendment?
Whoa, I want a toke of what you're smoking, cuz it fucks you up goooood.
Oh, so how you're blaming WWI on Wilson/Democrats/16th Amendment?
Wilson ran on an anti-war platform. But as soon as the election was over, announced he had to make the world safe for democracy.
The republicans in 1916 were running on a platform that said Wilson wasn't keeping us neutral...
Um, but Wilson didn't start WWI. Wilson was elected in 1912. WWI started in 1914.
Did I mention that the Democrats stole the 1916 election by 3,000 votes in California
Duh and the USA entered WWI in...???
I'm not really sure what your point is?
I really believe on everything what Evan Sayet is saying , America doesn't need a change and we need to take charge and vote on conservative president , I wish Evan Sayet ran for president .. keep up the good work .. Mr Sayet ...

Democrats have made WAR as easy as saying, "I Declare..."
After all the Gay Mafia and Hormel's Knights of Spam-a-lot have done for the DNC, the payback lies in their "gay quota" of DNC convention delegates...
For example, a grass-roots group, the National Stonewall Democrats, is working to boost the number of gay and lesbian delegates at the Democratic National Convention. Spokesman John Marble said the goal is to have more than 320 such delegates out of a total of 4,049; that would be up from 282 gay delegates in 2004.
The long-term hope is that these gay delegates stay active in politics.
"In four or eight years, when the Democrats are competing again, we're hoping to present them with infrastructure we built this year," Marble said. "They'll have to interact with our community in much deeper ways."
The DNC... institutionalizing racial and identity politics since 1792.
Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
By PEGGY NOONAN
January 25, 2008
the conservative journalistic world is convulsed by recrimination and attack. They're throwing each other out of the party. Republicans have become very good at that. David Brooks damns Rush Limbaugh who knocks Bill Kristol who anathematizes whoever is to be anathematized this week. This Web site opposes that magazine.
The rage is due to many things. A world is ending, the old world of conservative meaning, and ascendancy. Loss leads to resentment. Different pundits back different candidates. Some opportunistically discover new virtues in candidates who appear at the moment to be winning. Some feel they cannot be fully frank about causes and effects.
I love this line... "They'll have to interact with our community in much deeper ways."

DNC Chairman Howard Dean unofficially endorsed a move by gay Democrats to require the party to guarantee that 5 to 10 percent of their '08 convention delegates are gay or lesbian.
"Of course that's a good idea," Dean said during a meeting with the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender caucus Friday evening.
The caucus unanimously passed a resolution urging the DNC to do so. Dean agreed to consider the move. "But I can probably tell you right now that I think it's a good idea."
"The only problem is that you can't tell by looking at somone whether they're gay. At least I can't because my gaydar isn't that good," Dean said to laughter from the caucus.
How much you wanna bet Howard stiffs 'em at the convention?
So, we're down to nutcases who don't believe in the income tax, now?!! You're right...we wouldn't have the war...or anything else.
Coercive socialism is bad because...duh, I guess society should not have laws. Better to not have laws, I guess, so corporations can coerce labor and run roughshod over everything and everyone. Naive, little twits.
I wonder how many gays are spanking their monkeys for Obama. You can bet that the carpet lickers for Hillary are willing to go all the way for Hill. Especially with that Paki-aid of hers. R-r-r-o-w-w-w-w!
You're right...we wouldn't have the war...or anything else.
And thanks to the Democrats, the 20th century saw more wars and death than the previous 19 centuries combined before it.
Did the USA exist before the income tax... earth to Democrats... the answer is "yes".
The DNC... institutionalizing racial and identity politics since 1792.
Whereas the Repubs have now morphed into a party for straight white christian men and the women who obey them only. Lincoln, Teddy, I don't care. Teddy was a progressive anyway. The GOP is now a party for a very specific demographic, and everyone knows it.
How do I know? Look at their candidates at the debate. You see anyone blackish (Alan Keyes was at 1 debate, and is not a real candidate)? Hispanicish? Asianish? Jewish? Muslimish? Gayish? Womanish? No? Huh, fancy that.
Most black, womany, jewy, asian, hispanicy, gayish politicians are Democrats.* **
* Except for those closeted gays, which is a special case, cuz you can't be a closet Jew, etc.
** Oh, wait, George Allen, of "macaca" fame, he was a closet Jew, and look what happened to him.
The DNC... institutionalizing racial and identity politics since 1792.
Haha...this boy's a real historian. Do you mean there are certain constituencies who are represented by Democrats. I mean the GOP IDs honky trailer trash,pseudo-patriots, angry, confused white males, religious nutcases, bigots and Big Money. It's inevitable, that's what a party is.
And thanks to the Democrats, the 20th century saw more wars and death than the previous 19 centuries combined before it.
WHAT?! Omg, what a historically ignorant, America-centric idiot.
Carpet lickers are hot for hill!
I wonder how often that patch gets weeded.

haha, these naive little creeturs are a laugh a minute...U know they were home schooled, they couldn't have learned this silliness except from some kooky daddy. Yeah, WWI, a European war we got into near the end, WWII...Adolf and TOjo were real democrats...then that
democrat leader of N. Korea started that thing...hahahahaetcetc.
Barack's got the gay male thing covered.
Um, you do know that Paki is a racial slur like "spic," don't you?
Oooops. I meant fudge-paki's.

Not near as many as you little simps spanking it for Jeebus.
Did the USA exist before the income tax... earth to Democrats... the answer is "yes".
Then the country grew and came into the modern age and like needed revenue and money and stuff to work. Why don't you tell us all about how all those other nations don't have taxes.
Adolf and TOjo were real democrats...
Nope, but the race purity party of Robert Byrd was into Eurocentric eugenics back then. They needed to rid America and Europe of some of their low-life unwashed masses.
Yeah, WWI, a European war we got into near the end, WWII...Adolf and TOjo were real democrats...then that

oh yeah, and it was the Democrats who started the 100 Years' War and the Crusades and Alexander the Great.
Personally, I think if Obama were an occasional coke user and secretly gay, it would make him even cooler in my book, but only if Michelle were fully aware of it.

hahahahahaha sorry there's nothing you can do but laugh at these poor lame pitiable children...so Byrd went over and tole Hitler you gotta start a beeg war so we can kill off them coons and jooz.
DNC stiffs the Stonewall's.
I can hardly wait for the premier of that one.

Hear, hear. Butt, if he was SECRETLY gay, he'd be a Republican.
Say larry,
Have you signed up for your quota spot at the convention yet?
Become a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention!
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) voters are one of the most loyal voting-blocks in the Democratic Party – second only to the African American community. We are everywhere and we vote!
We have earned our seat at the table and it is now time to make sure we have a strong voice in selecting the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee at the National Convention August 25-28 in Denver. This is our chance to be a part of the solution this country so desperately needs.
National Stonewall Democrats (NSD) worked closely with the National Committee’s LGBT Caucus to push every state to set goals for LGBT delegates to the convention. But goals are nothing if they are not met.
That’s where you come in. We need you and LGBT Democrats in every state to run for national convention delegate. NSD has put together Pride in the Party to help you run for delegate..
Just sign up and we’ll make sure the campaign of your presidential candidate knows you want to be a delegate. Campaigns are looking for LGBT Democrats just like you who support them, who want to run for delegate, and who want to be a part of electing a Democratic President. (But they can’t talk to you if they can’t find you. That’s why you need to sign up!)
Be sure to also check out the “Delegate Information” where you can download information about your state’s delegate selection process. Our summary shows the filing deadlines and filing requirements. It also provides information about contacting your State Democratic Party. (Most State Parties have information and filing forms on their website.)
Rush has said he might not support the GOP guy this year, and his misbegotten sibling, David, has tore a really big, new asshole in McCain today. Whaddya think, boys?...oh, and Noonan says GW has destroyed the GOP. Heavy stuff...so, are you guys going to get your ass up off of the saddle horn long enought to go out and vote GOP this time?
Or are you a SECRET Republican
...or better yet, are you an undercover agent who OUTS SECRET gay Republicans?
Bruising knee's for the cause since birth!
Hey, maybe you could form a foursome!
They are a really sexy couple. I'd hit it.
Butt, if he was SECRETLY gay, he'd be a Republican.
Good point. I guess if he were bi, that would be awesomest.
I was thinking, I bet the "shocked, SHOCKED!" wives of Ted Haggard, LArry Craig & Co. were aware that something was up, but turned a blind eye to it because being married to those guys did bring them material affluence, power and influence, and the ability to not have to make their own living.
Like, how many women would agree to marry someone who is secretly gay in exchange for never having to work, fulfilling their dreams of a purdy purdy princess wedding, spawning, and being the wife of the head of a huge church/the wife of a senator? I bet a lot of people would go for it.
McGreevy's wife didn't know, I think. And that's why they're divorced now. Mrs. Craig and Mrs. Haggard -- staying put with their homo hubbies.
oh yeah, and it was the Democrats who started the 100 Years' War and the Crusades and Alexander the Great.
Now you're just being silly. Everyone knows that Alexander was a gay man, just like the Pope!

Can u spel H-I-L-L-A-R-Y????
Alexander was bi, speaking of bi people.
Wait, where's Farmer John? I seem to recall he thinks Alex was straight or something

Yes, most of the rest reconciled a little too easily...because they were reconciled before.

Well, for one, Bill isn't gay. He loves women, LOVES 'em. But yeah, it's a similar situation, except Hillary had her own goals and her own career and only had 1 kid. Plus, I think she and Vince Foster were having an affair? With the Clintons, it's much more of a two-way street, I think.

One man did... Bill Clinton.
With the Clintons, it's much more of a two-way street, I think.
He's AC, she's DC. A match made in heaven!

So now you're calling Hillary gay? What's the benefit to Bill from marrying a crypto-lesbian? He's had to make his own career.
I think that if both people have lucrative careers, it's more complex than with Mrs. Craig/Mrs. Haggard, who are just stay-at-home mom leeches.
Wait, where's Farmer John? I seem to recall he thinks Alex was straight or something
John needs soooo badly to be original...but he can't really be, so he makes up stupid, weird stuff to pose as original.
Vince Foster was killed by a jealous Hillary aid.
And also, we really don't give a rat's if Hillary is gay...why do these morons think we might...they keep acting as if we're stupid, little bigots like them...why can't they get that?
Hill's looking to dump Bill in 2009. That way she can marry her lesbian aid, adopt a child (one tons better looking than Chelsea) and paint the Whitehouse pink.
Weren't there a couple Repubs on here earlier who had an IQ over sixty? Nothing but the dregs of the dregs here today. Just some weirdo punk who hates queers and knew the Republican party was the place for him.
Both Hillary and Barack are gay. Oh, excuse me... bi.
Another reason to vote Democrat!
Will we ever have an honest to goodness GAY man or woman 4 president. The world waits with baited breath!

Adopt a child? Why?
I love how you don't know how to spell "aide."
....the master waits with bated breath?

Baited breath? Trying to picture it...
Well, Cambridge, MA just elected a black lesbian for mayor.
Those racist, bigoted Democrats! :)
I love how you don't know how to spell "aide."
Ooops. Those should have been all caps.
Well, Cambridge, MA just elected a black lesbian for mayor.

Good for them. I hear Detroit needs a new black Democratic mayor too. I don't think that the lesbian quota in Detroit is being met. Maybe she could transfer...
Will the DNC ever meet their "gay mayor" quota in the midwest?
Stay tuned folks. I've got a feeling they're already WAY over-represented. Just ask blivins-guy.
I think its' funny that all those evil republicans are turning out to be closet homo's...

I think Chelsea is kinda cute.
Where the fuck did all of these historically-challenged, bigoted, backward idjits come from?
And, goddam, I fer shure don't want to be smoking whatever the hell it is that's making them so fucked up, talking their fucked-up shit. There's good fucked up, and then there's bad fucked up You know?--like good shit and bad shit. Well, they got ahold of some bad shit. And, they are bad (like on that pcp crap) fucked up. I just want me some innna peace.
Good night and good fuck.
p.s. as for the baited breath, maybe they'll end up with a mouse in their mouth.......
so why don't we have a private police force, firefighers, EMTs, for only those who can pay for them?
why don't we socialize the lawyers?
Everyone could use one.
why don't we socialize the lawyers?
Everyone could use one.
For that matter, why don't we socialize prostitution? I mean, it is a basic human right to have lots and lots of sex with lots and lots of women. The whole world revolves around it - and I can see that now that I've moved to the left. Now I can't turn back - I'm not an ambi-turner. Thank you Dora... You're my savior! You know, there was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman". For serious. Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

Sayet is confused but Coulter knows where she stands:
Annie razed McCain: Coulter claims she would back Hillary
We know the far right is upset with McCain as nominee but this is really going too far: Ann Coulter asserting on Fox News that if he gets the nomination she would not only "vote for" Hillary, she would "campaign for her if it's McCain." She told Sean Hannity last night that Clinton "is more conservative than he is" and added that in that scenario "she will be our girl." As president, Hillary would be "stronger in the war on terrorism" and would not pull the troops out of Iraq -- she jumped to her feet at the State of Union speech when Bush said the surge was working. Hannity countered: "McCain did support the war." She pointedout: "So did Hillary."
Alan Colmes, enjoying it all immensely, said Hillary would likely say "no" to the campaign offer. But Coulter plunged ahead: "Hillary is absolutely more conservative" and moreover "she lies less than John McCain. And she's smarter than John McCain so when she lies she knows it....John McCain is not only bad for Republicans he is also bad for the country." Hannity clearly doesn't fully agree, but like Coulter hates his anti-torture stance.
Ann Coulter asserted on Fox News that if the well fed POW, McCain, gets the nomination she would not only "vote for" Hillary, she would "campaign for her if it's McCain."
