Again, nothing new here. The economy goes up and down. We don't have
socialized medicine. What's new? I can't remember it ever being any
different, can you? Bush isn't to blame for any of it.
Again, you don't care. Got it. Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth or
yours I suppose.
Didn't say a word about caring or not. I said I can't remember the
economy not going up and down. Can you? We've also never had more
socialized medicine ever. How do you blame Bush for that? Did you change
the subject because these points are obvious and you don't want to admit
it?
What are you blathering about?
I thought you were old enough to remember that the economy goes up and
down. Remember the seventies? There were way worse than now. You're old
enough, you just don't want to remember, I guess.

So, what you're saying is that because the 70s were worse, then everything
is ok now. That makes a lot of sense to you I guess.

No, what I'm saying is that the economy has been going up and down for
as long as I can remember and it seems there is little any president can
ever do about it.

The economy is in shambles, in a large measure because of the cost of the
war and Bushco's stated agenda to remove Federal funding from just about
every program including Social Security and Medicare.
Hilarious! So, every war in US history has boosted the economy except this
one. And if there were more federal funding for Social Security, Medicare
and the like, the economy would be in better shape! Wow, hard to argue
with someone so far off the mark!

Huh? Where did I say that?

What I said was that we're spending $12B a month
on a war that didn't need to be fought,

But wars have always boosted the US economy. Why is this one any different?

that we were lied to about, instead
of helping people in this country. The neo-con agenda is pretty clear and
self-stated.

Here's a nice link for you, since you're an avowed athiest...

We should dominate any culture who seeks to prevent economic, cultural,
social and religious freedoms. We should dominate them only to the
extent that they can't *impose* their values on anyone. At the least,
let them talk about it and promote it all they want in a free speech
setting and the foolishness of their ideas will be illuminated. At the
most blow them to kingdom come if they won't stop their aggression
against innocents.

We should also fight these evil forces within our own society with
similar standars, including Christians who seek to impose their
stupidity (like creationism) on the rest of us.
