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.

Good points but the last thing this boating group needs is more
political discussions.

Amen.

If it would only stay with "Boating". The political minds might try
the political groups and find were some, with other interests percieve
the country and the world. There are plenty of political groups that
require thicker skin than many have here.

The same with other interests that sneak their heads in here.

Even I can manage to listen with my eyes well enough.



I'd be delighted if this were a 90% boating discussion group. Now that
many of the non-boaters have left, maybe it will happen. I have no
interest in the grandchildren of others, golf, bowling, homebrew beer,
diseases of children, campers, brothers, et cetera, and am just as
annoyed to see that crap here as some are to see politics.

OK, I'll do my part. Most/all of my posts here have been political, but
while the group remains apolitical, I will cease and desist the
temptation.

I don't think there's any guaranty that the group will remain totally
apolitical but the effort has to start somewhere. Hopefully you are
interested in boats, if not you may be in the wrong place. Spring is
coming, even north of the Mason-Dixon line, and the sound of sanding
and the smell of fresh paint and varnish will soon be in the air at
boatyards everywhere. Even here in Florida people are taking
advantage of the dry season to haul boats and get maintenance done.
It's time to start thinking about summer plans, equipment upgrades and
all of the rest.

And while you are at it, why not save your insults for the JustHate
Double Secret Discussion Board?

The Dream Team

After the big buildup the Repubs and some in the media gave him, I
thought his presentation was laughable. His one idea for revitalizing
the economy: cut taxes. In other words, the same old crap that has not
worked for the last eight years,.

It's worked over the previous 6 or so recessions in the preceding 90 years.

FDR tried to spend us out of the depression and he only succeeded in
lengthening the depression. The only thing that got us out of the
Depression was WWII.

where we spent alot of money.

Thunder, if the other folks here of your politcal persuasion could
keep a civil tongue, as you do, politics wouldn't be such a big
problem either. For some, politics just presents another opportunity
for name-calling and personal insults.

Then leave again, dumbass. I haven't said boo about your little circle
jerk. Maybe I should start. It's been a lot more pleasant around here
since you left. Please stay away. And I thought your story was that
you haven't been here because you have been working. Now you indicate
otherwise. That makes you a LIAR.
