Your right Jim. I see no chance for the USA to stay on top. IMHO it is
due
to the liberal mindset that started in the 60s and has taken over our
public
schools and Universities.

And I see no help for it.

Hello, Dan

Cutting aid to eduation, the V.A., and other programs is a function of the
liberal mindset?

No. The liberals want to increase taxes to pay for these entitlements.
Trouble is the Liberal mindset is that there is never enough taxation.
Who pays these taxes?
Liberals brought us Medicare, a system fraught with fraud and theft. Dittos
for Food Stamps. Likewise for Govt. subsidized housing, now in the third and
fourth generations.

Meanwhile, a ton of cuts for the rich. BTW, they want to eliminate the
deposit (5 cents) per can of soda (and other stuff such as beer) in NYS.
They wish to replace it with a similar *tax*! Have you noticed that they
wish to eliminate (or have they already) a deduction for energy efficient
vehicles - yet retain a deduction for SUVs weighing over .... what is it, 3
tons?

Look at the facts. The "rich" pay far more than the every day Joe Sixpack
worker.

The so-called liberals wanted the deposit to encourage folks to return the
cans and not leave them all over the place. Pataki (our governor) and his
gang (republicans) want to replace the deposit with a *tax*! They can't
stand to see the money returned to the people.

The reality is that the Republicans want to kill the poor to save the rich.

Yet more Liberal invective based on emotion rather than facts. Why not do
what other states are doing. Eliminate the silly deposit requirement?
Typical Liberal mindset. More Goverment intervention into personal lives...

Nice try.

Poor try.

Given a few years of our troups being killed in Iraq, I'll be interested in
seeing how they will replace them. Duty *forever* in Iraq is not likely to
work.

Yet the morale of our troops is extremely high and despite the liberal
press, they come home feeling as though they are doing a good thing. Dan
Rather and you excluded.

I had no problems with attacking Afganistan. Iraq, however, with its'
weapons of mass destruction .... well, sooner or later the folks with the
modest double-digit I.Q.s will wake up. How many weapons of mass
destruction have they found? England is really upset with Tony Blair. They
want him out. I offered to trade Bush for him, but, unfortunately, no one
wants Bush.

That explains why he won a second term, hands down, despite rampant voter
fraud in the blue states.

Of course, the Democrats that get elected because of this will be blamed
when they have to make changes. Changes will have to be made, whether we
like it or not.

After 8 years of our troops, ships, and yes, the First Ever World Trade
Center Bombing under Clinton's rule...changes indeed must be made.
Terrorists were emboldened by Clinton's inaction and yes, cowardice.

BTW, I didn't inhale )

Not necessary. Your thought processes are already befuddled enough.

Dittos.

And while I have the podium, Jim, I agree with Dan on this one. The Liberal
mindset has turned our schools inside out. Our kids cannot recite the Pledge
of Allegiance because it has, GASP!, the God word in it. Yet the Muslim kids
in New York are allowed to kneel toward Mecca several times a day and the
Liberals say not one word about that. That is called "tolerance", while any
mention of God has to be dealt with and eliminated quickly lest the
Christians "indoctrinate" our kids.
Graduating eighth-graders have never heard of the Getteysburg Address,
Antietam or Atlanta. I guess their liberal teachers were too busy teaching
them to be "tolerant" of alternate lifestyles. Our sixth graders have no
idea who Abe Lincoln was, that he enacted the Emancipatiion Proclamation,
but they know all about Martin Luther King and Muhammed.
Our fifth graders know nothing of our Constitution, but they know that guns
are bad and Rap Music is good.
Our fourth graders don't understand why their mommy and daddy got a divorce,
but they know that it is OK for Little Johnny to have two Dads or two
Mommies.
Our third graders are fast learning that they cannot bring to school photos
of their dads or moms who are serving in the military for Show and Tell.
Allah forbid that the kids should be subjected to a photo of a proud Marine
doing his or her duty for our country. The liberal teachers call that "zero
tolerance".
Oh, the latest Liberal hoot? A couple of school systems are now being ever
so gracious in allowing the kids to recite The Pledge, but they must now
omit the Gasp!, God word and replace it with "your belief". How sickeningly
politically correct.

The Liberals, accompanied by the likes of Chappaquiddic Ted are doing our
country great harm. You could't pay me to be a Democrat, but obviously there
are those who can be.

Dan is correct on this one. You lose.
