For all of FDR's good intentions he accomplished absolutely nothing.

Well, he made the GOP the minority party for over 50 years. I guess
that's something.

You can award him the Emanuel/Shumer award posthumously of course.

If your party has to destroy the other party in order to impose your will
on the people then you need to take a hard look at your party's ideology
and principles.

This is what is so interesting about the whole talk radio phenomenon. Why
has conservative talk radio flourished across the USA? Why does
conservative talk radio pull in the ratings and in return the advertising
dollars? Why did Rush Limbaugh just get a $400 million contract for 8
years with a $100 million dollar signing bonus? Obviously the advertisers
are there, the ratings are there and the listeners are there.

Yet when we flip the coin over and take a look at liberal/progressive
radio we find that nobody wants to tune in and hear what Al Franken or
Randy Rhodes has to say. There are no listeners, there are no ratings and
therefore there are no advertisers.

When you pull in NPR which to any objective listener is left of center,
left, and far left and it is supported by US government dollars. Would
NPR still be broadcasting if they had survive without government footing
the bill?

Part of it is that the liberals see that the people are generally bad and
need to be told how to live while the conservatives see people as
generally good and want them to live their lives to the fullest without
government intervention.

I still can't unravel the idiocy of people who say they come from
Democrat families and therefore vote Democrat but, the rest of their life
is based on conservative values. Pulling the lever for a Democrat because
your grandfather voted for FDR is not the mark of an intelligent person.
Conversely, pulling the lever for a Republican just because your
grandfather voted for a Republican sometime in the past is just as
stupid.


You should sell this crap of yours over at the mindless right-wing
site...aren't you getting the secret emails?

I see the Lt Colonel asked Bar to check his e-mail. I imagine that's the
call.
