I've often wondered what the world would be like today if we'd let the
Krauts take the Kremlin back then instead of backing Stalin . . And
THEN have creamed the Krauts.


They almost did! But Adolf managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by
such dumb moves as dividing his invasion force and exterminating rather than
befriending the Ukranians.

The high point of German occupation of the USSR came just before Pearl Harbor.
Then they started being pushed back. Had Stalin lost, the western alliance
would have had the job of defeating a Germany that had USSR's resources behind
it, and no second front.

Wow! You guys sure take some kind of vector off of a left turn.

And that "left turn is who the "reformed commies" endorse for Prez!


Talk
about off off topic! Ooop! Not allowed to say PCTA are off topic.
My bad. So sorry.

What the heck, Brian? If you post something, and someone disagrees with
it, is THAT what you mean by not being allowed to have a different opinion?

I kind of thought that was what we were here for.


As for off topic, yourself and are the ones
complaining of messages being off topic.

C'mon, you are starting to sound like a "victim".


Sorry, didn't mean to give that impression. It was supposed to be
tongue-in-cheek, but my keyboard emoticons are lacking.

Dang-it, there's that victim trap again! ;^)


As a conservative, I can tell you that you don't have to be a victim.
You are responsible for your actions, and don't have to be a victim.
Once you do that, your life will take on new meaning, with unlimited
possibilities opening up that were denied you by the liberal's "victim
trap"

Reminds me of the "parade of victims" that NPR features each day. Why
does George Bush continue to fund those idiots?

NPR gets less and less gvt funding every year. 65 percent private/35
percent public

There is a downside to that though. When Newt ad his buds originally
started the pull the pursetrings on NPR, the idea was that they would
melt and go away like the wicked witch of the west after getting doused
by Dorothy.

Because they were nothing more than a mouthpiece for the left. No
point in tax dollars funding that.

They didn't - they thrived, adapting to the new situation. As they
receive less and less government funding, they have more and more
autonomy. At this point I would assume that they enjoy the money that
they still get from the gvt

And that is the downside - less control.

What control did they have previously?

I actually get my news from NPR and Reuters now. Despite NPR's middle
to left perspective, they actually report so much more than the other
organizations - Network news sucks, CNN is weird, and Fox News is great
if you are a Pub that only wants to hear news that agrees with your
world view.

It's a sham when NPR rolls over to BBC at night.
