Who says he is not a communist when he makes a move like this? This is a token of good will between commrades and another betrayal to the American people whom he hates. I tend to agree with you more than the others on this thread, especially when I consider Obama's cancellation of the missile shield in Europe, appointment of Van Jones and the lady that praised Mao, and the open-mike comments Obama made to Medvidev a few weeks ago about being able to do more after he's elected to a 2nd term. Even if Obama isn't communist out right he sure seems to be awfully sympathetic to them. |

How can you tell? Isolate the kids from their folks for 6-7 hours a day and they form their own culture of sorts--like filling a vacuum, which I don't see much if any evidence of in the home-schooled kids at the churches I've attended. They seem remarkably more mature and independent than I and my public-educated peers were when we were their age. Makes me feel quite jealous whenever I see them. |

No, Neil, something almost as bad; He (Bush 43) killed my interest rates and stock values, leaving me in a not very good position! You sound just like my dad, describing Bush 41, who he continues to this day to refer to as a "turkey", because he (Bush 41) eliminated COLAs in my dad's pensions and raised his taxes, after promising not to.If you want to make voters like Jim and my dad angry, "hit" them in their money-belts. If you want to make them happy, find a way to channel money (whether theirs or someone else's) in their direction. On a more serious note, we all have to be ware of the fine line between merely being concerned about money and loving or becoming obsessed with money. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. |

San Jose, how do you know that oil revenues aren't always secured by those who intended to secure them in the first place? That, apparently, is the usual practice; but according to Trump we didn't do this. Most other nations in our place evidently would've, but we didn't.Mike, you're probably right, but I think Trump was interested in earmarking the oil-tribute money to a fund to compensate the sacrifice made by the troops...and perhaps by this get a few re-election votes, were he prez. Jim's hero is Truman? Interesting, Jim did refer to the "do-nothing" Republicans in a recent post, just as Truman himself used to rail about "that do-nothing 80th congress", which was dominated by Republicans. |

...the Volt, the car no one wants (and would be dead if it were not subsidized) could be promoted in order to save the planet from the Ford F150, which people do want and are willing to pay for. Funny thing about the Volt (as well as the Nissan Leaf) is that it is touted as a "zero-emissions" vehicle--even sporting stickers that say so--even though the owner most likely charges it from an electrical outlet at home or elsewhere that is supplied by coal-burning electricity plants (!). |

See "Stupid in America," hosted by John Stossel. It might be found on YouTube. It is. At least a number of 5-10 minute installments can be viewed on YouTube, along with other Stossel programs. One of the things I really like about Stossel is he plays a great Devil's advocate--whether he supports the interviewee's position or not. I don't get Fox Business channel so I have to settle for YouTube or weekend re-runs on his show on FNC. |

Shock and Awe would been a policy he would have approved of, not having using the Iraq oil to pay for our adventure in Iraq, I don't think Sun Tzu would have approved of. I actually heard Donald Trump say in an interview that if he were in charge he would've at least tried to secure at least some of the oil revenues as war tribute to finance our operations over there (supposedly) as part of a DEAL with the "friendly" leadership of the countries involved. Though it makes sense up to a point I don't see how he could have pulled it off without making the USA look bad. We're supposedly "above" such practices and as such our moral superiority (both real and perceived) would surely be compromised. |
