Too good not to share, and so true.

And, a later post on the same subject.

Both well thought out and very appropriate responses to the Bush monologue, by two of America's finest scholars.

You come here to make friends then I see....;)

Are you an American too?

Australian.

Well thought out? Urm, not to nit-pick....well, okay, I'm nit-picking...."if Rush Limbaugh does a 360", as the writer states, wouldn't that leave him right where he was originally?

Perhaps the writer meant a 180... ;)

Randy

I see, well you've got enough problems with your own government, no sense burdening yourself with ours, dangerous though it may be for you all.

Pat,

We are quite possibly as much a victim of the US administration as you. Therefore, it is indeed well worth "burdening" myself with current affairs concerning (in particular) US foreign policy and the insane goings-on in the ME.......

No, he is a lefty like you...You crossed the line Pat, you have philosophically joined the ranks of the communists against the great enemy neo-cons...You have evidently concluded sacrificing your soul at their altar is going to get you 72 virgins when you meet Allah.

I think the author is chasing his tail, so I am sure "360" was some sort of Freudian slop.

Have we met?

Such silly, illogical "logic", that I find it hard to believe an intelligent person could actually agree.

Buh-bye.

If Rush did a 720, he'd probably get dizzy and fall down.

Pat, that was a bunch of drivel you posted. Comparing oil to Chinese textiles, German cars ... what a crock, as though every commodity shared the same economic, social, cultural status. Oil is IMPORTANT. Think back to the embargo. A slightly different impact than if the Chinese decided to stop selling us tee shirts.

And why is denying global warming somehow libertarian? Ignoring science is ignorant, and knows no political party. Just ask George Bush. Global warming is very real, universally accepted by the scientific community. The only debate is whether it will bite us sooner or later.

LOL!

Good on ya, Randy.

Nonsense. He is one of "America's finest scholars". He clearly meant what he wrote.:D

Tom

So, OK, we leave the middle east alone and just buy oil from them. Let a few of them get rich...


... and oppress the rest of them. A la Hussein. Leave them alone to gas eachother, and nuke eachother, and enslave their women. Tyranny. Brutality. Mass graves. Torture. Genocide....

But hey,

It's all good. As long as we have cheap gas, and don't have to worry about any Americans being killed.

I think you missed the point entirely. Oil is precisely the same as any other thing, it's reased to importance by it's desireability, but that shouldn't give the federal government any power whatsoever.

That was the point.

Global warming, as a effect of human activity, isn't science based in any known way. Yes, I can prove that, but it would take another thread.

Clearly, you've tried to make a joke. It fell rather flat.

Get a grip, and stop whining like a pathetic little weasel.

Bush is as socialist a president as we've had since Lyndon Johnson. Your constant attempts to portray me as a socialist is silly.

Pat, not a joke. Just an illustration of the things we'd have to ignore if we went with a trade and isloation policy.


Frankly, I think... we're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Far to the right of the left. Your tired leftist style regurgitations, your support of the UN's supremacy, and your attacks on Bush, only further the left's objectives...You offer nothing but friendly fire, putting you in league with the socialists.
