The founding fathers on our constitiution recognized this tendancy, and that's why they created our system of checks and balances. That's also why we have things like "term limits". I noticed that Bill Clinton, of all people, has been making noise about removing or modifying that limit, as of late. I don't see much good to come from that. I've never understood the reasoning behind term limits. If we are doing our job as an electorate, an ineffective legislature would be gone. In a democracy, we do get the leadership we deserve. It seems to me, all term limits do is limit our choices, in the rare case we actually get an effective and honorable leader. |

And *you've* never used the words right-wing and conservative in the same
sentence? "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "NOYB" wrote in message thlink.net... "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "NOYB" wrote in message thlink.net... Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4 left-wing liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology" Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way. As opposed to right-wing liberals..... That must be one of the DSM-IV mental disorders that's yet to be named. :-) Well, *YOU* combined the terms "left-wing" and "liberals", numbskull. You must have the exact same disorder. Or, you managed to buy your way out of English classes and thus cannot understand redundancy. |

Actually, no. First of all, the two terms suggest different concepts.
Therefore, it would be stupid to combine the two terms. "NOYB" wrote in message thlink.net... And *you've* never used the words right-wing and conservative in the same sentence?

No, not right
Look back into your history, economics and look at the trends. "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "basskisser" wrote in message om... " Tuuk" wrote in message ... Hey,, Somebody needs to fiscally responsibly run the country or other countries. I mean your socialist friends would spend their way into poverty and end up with nothing. If you dont like the way the country is running, just sit back in your arm chair, collect your welfare and go play bingo. Leave the big things to those who know how to do them better. If not for you, for the sake of the entire nation's survival. Really? As I recall, eight years under Clinton......fantastic economy. Reagan? Economy sucked. Bush I? Economy sucked. Bush II? Economy was driven into the ground in a hell of a hurry. Fiscal responsibility, indeed! Actually, if you look at a graph of the stock market and compare it with parties in office, it's always done significantly better during Democratic administrations. The Repubs in my PaineWebber office used to hate this chart. Their stock response to it was "Yeah...well....oh yeah?" |

No, don't be a baffoon, 9-11 was not GWB's fault, and he did do the right
thing. Look at the situation in Canada, Ontario where all the liberals and NDP who were bought out by the teachers and the strikes that damaged many students year. A Conservative leader arose and cleaned up years of messes that the liberals created. There were high percentages of students graduating high school who couldn't even read or write. These students then went on to university where international students who also didn't know proper english crushed them in grade scoring. The universities had to tweak down their delivery of material (remove some hard stuff) because the Asian students are near twice as smart as domestic. Let the liberals continue leading the country and guess who will own the west (they already own growing percentages of Canada and add more economic and tangible benefit than any other ethnic group). I for one welcome them and realize that we need them. But I believe the liberals and especially the far left are responsible for the west's low grade teachers, poor economy, inability to compete globally, huge debts. "JohnH" wrote in message ...

Hurts their brains to do any of that deep thinking or have any manner of patience, it's simpler to just kick some ass and figure out what happened later. Meanwhile, 250 of our kids and countless innocents have paid for it with their lives. F'ing idiots. No more feeble than the Berkely Bull**** so many of you are so enamored with.
