Actually, we’re now coming to realize that he was a useful idiot for the guys actually running things behind the scenes. He was able to whip up the American people to be willing to go to war, but not be willing to pay for it (remember when he said “go about your lives, shop, show them we’re not afraid of them!”)…

What is so hard to understand about this? Why are people so intent on ignoring this very basic truth?

Unless you’re Native American, you’re just as ‘illegal’ as anyone else that came to what became the United States.

I agree. There’s always going to be pretentious types when it comes to wine, but that woman was a Grade A douchenozzle (or douchecanoe, whichever works).

I’ve come to realize that a lot of people who use the words ‘communist’, ‘socialist’, etc. have no idea what those words or political beliefs mean at all. They just think it sounds ominous and evil, so they continue to use them.

I thought that I also read that he was being investigated for illegally killing a bear in Wisconsin.

Except for the fact that it puts the taxpayers on the hook for all of the costs, and those same taxpayers get nothing in return.

Except that you’re wrong.

What part of ‘equal protection under law’ do people like yourself not understand?

So you believe that ‘All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others’? That the 14th Amendment shouldn’t apply? If that’s the case, why was the decision in Loving v Virginia made the way it was?

They are allowing their religious beliefs to override the law (or in this case, the 14th Amendment), nothing more. It’s somewhat akin to the people that thought that miscegenation was a good thing, since the Bible supposedly said that people of different color should never mix, especially in marriage.

Yeah, I found that out when I worked for a supermarket in HS and college. You don’t realize how utterly disgusting some people are until they have to use a public restroom and leave you with the hazardous waste dump afterwards.

I’m glad my wife was never brought up that way. If I did something wrong, and I KNOW it was wrong, she’ll call me on it and kick my ass up between my shoulder blades (metaphorically, of course) if I don’t stop and realize it.

Well, it does lift all boats. However (and this isn’t a dig at you), some people don’t even have a boat to be lifted by, so they drown.

The best way I heard it described was, the Boomers parents put into place the ability to make decent money & raise a family for them & their future. The Boomers then mortgaged their own futures so that they could live the high life, and then left the bills to Gen X and future generations.
