no one in Washington - regardless of their political affiliation - is going to sacrifice the economy for the environment. strange how there is always enough money for war but not for the environment. If only there was a war against pollution... And those who are not with us, are? Hey, that's really good! Just like declaring "war on terror" gives Bush license to wage war wherever and however he wants, declear "war against pollution" and behave accordingly... It should not surprise any of us that politicians always find money to spend on their pet projects. I just prefer this President's pets, than the alternative offering! I did work for the EPA, and the waste, and lack of significant goals, would not be exceeded by the Clinton war on terrorism, and blowing up tents with million dollar Cruise Missles. But then that was a good cover for Monica! Kerry had his opportunity to declare war on pollution, but chose not to, because he knew that it would not fly. The trial balloon was made of lead! Now is the time for you to start designing a new balloon. You can plan a test flight in 4 years. Hopefully you can present us with a viable alternative, and not just another Clinton!

spend on their pet projects. I just prefer this President's pets, than the alternative offering! So you are not with us in the war against pollution? |

Of course I am not for pollution. This simplistic approach which presents itself as exclusive and elite intellectualism is the reason you lost. You apparently still don't get it as has been pointed out many times in this thread already. Should we assume that because the Liberals, lost, that all is lost regarding the environment. No, it is just how the battle is going to be fought, and I hope that you do not prove yourself ineffective again, for the environments sake! It was just the logical approach of your Bush that I used, so if you call that simplistic... I agree. Or to use your words with other goals: Of course I am not for terrorism. No, it is just how the battle is going to be fought, and I hope that you do not prove yourself ineffective again, for the worlds sake! As it is now, the war against terrorism is inefficient an ineffective causing many innocent deaths and making things worse instead of better. And with the existence of the concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay, the state has become the enemy and is creating new seeds for more terrorism in all the world. |

Ask the thousand dead insurgents how inefficient and ineffective the US battle plan is. Granted, there were probably innocents killed Probably??? even the American soldiers who die there can be called innocent... But that view may be (too) Liberal for you? |

Do you think so? It's hard to say. The media censorship is unbelievable. You would hardly know any Americans have been killed! Ah, maybe I have stumbled upon the problem, "media Censorship." Now I haven't heard of such down here,(certainly there are many voices reminding us of how many have been killed and wounded) so you must be speaking of up there in Canada. That is unbelievable for sure, I thought those Canadians were a little tolerant of diverse viewpoints, but then that would also esplain the rampant Liberalism that plagues our dear neighbor to the north. Isolated, uninformed, intolerant, Liberals, - yeah, that explains it! War is a terrible thing, noone likes it! So lay down their weapons of destruction, and learn to live in peace. Who are we talking about? I was speaking of the criminal mobs that are bombing their own, in the name of Allah. Who are you talking about? Probably the US troops, who are risking their lives, to set the people free from the tyranny of war lords. Who have had their way for centuries of warfare that have been going on there. The current US troops just happen to be in their way at this time, fighting to win and guarantee the peace for all. Concentration Camp in Cuba? Yes I read about the 40 some musicians who sought refuge in this country, just yesterday. Must be a terrible place to have to live, I mean in this country. I will admit that my collective conscious feels uneasy about the detainees in the camp in Guantanamo Bay. However they are a far cry from Dachow Ah, well, that's OK then! I am glad that you agree that it is Ok, at least we agree on this! Thanks, Tinkerntom, aka Knesisknosis, Life, Live it! |

Peace, Tinkerntom, aka KnesisKnosis, Life, Live it! Interesting. This ties in with American Puritanism, actually. One President lies about whether or not he got a blow job, and he is almost impeached. One President lies to start a war killing thousands of people, and he gets re-elected! |

One President lies to start a war killing thousands of people, and he gets re-elected! Again you demonstrate, how out of contact you are with the issues that are important to the US voter. For a Canadian, maybe that is not too important, but for the liberals down here, this lack of discreation spelt major losses. Those who make similar observations down here, and try to base their political position on this quicksand, are doomed to repeat history, happily for me! As far as a later post in the thread, I drink Aquafina, and filtered tap. Protects me from all the crap that the Liberal environmentalist have failed to remove! Considering, they had the last 30 or 40 years to do it! Touching on the subject of American Puritanism, it seems that there is some real sensitivity here. By modifing it with American, you imply that there are various kinds, and that they may be more acceptable to you. If what you mean, is Conservative Fundementalism, that is a different thing entirely. The Puritans were actually a fairly liberal bunch, and is represented most strongly in the state of Pennsylvania with the Amish. A very loving group of people, in a blue state. The CFR crowd, on the other hand, is a brilliant crowd of rascals that will do almost anything to win. Yes, it started in the Clinton era, with pointing out his picadillos. Then once in power, they even had the audacity to do what they said they were going to do withour really asking the Dems permission. Sure sometimes the Dems stood in the way, but that just meant the CFR's just dug in deeper, and ralleyed their crowd to get out and vote. Sounds like what the Dems need to do! Although I doubt that they will catch President Bush with his pants down, talk about squandering political capital. Then they really had the CFR's on the ropes, with their protesting the way the war is being fought, until the best they could do was offer a old Viet vet, which required fighting the Viet war all over again (not that I have anything against Vets, but oddly, they chose to be on what they perceived as the moral high ground, this time). And all this before the current struggle could be addressed. Talk about mismanging the play clock! And now there is all this squealing about having to give the Dems their fair share of the Congressional agenda. They lost, they don't get much. And yet the squealing goes on! Show some dignity, and suck it up! Thanks, Tinkerntom, aka Knesisknosis, Life, Live it! |
