ABC, NBC, Air America, CBS, CNN and CNBC, along with all the liberal

in
a
recession in their attempt to make one happen.

Glad to see not everyone is buying into their crap.

funny that the secretary of the treasury and the fed chairman...both
liberal commie radicals appointed by bush...thought the economy was in
danger of recession as well.

stupid marxists.

Funnier still how certain right wing talk show personnel, making a
very handsome living by manipulating public opinion through the use of
broadcast media, are quick to condemn the "drive by media" for
attempting to influence public opinion. I mean really, how dare the
other voices in the media do such a thing?

Boils down to the same old standard. Propaganda with which one happens
to agree is useful, factual information offered solely in pursuit of
truth and in service to the public interests. Propaganda with which
one does *not* happen to agree is radical left or right wing bullcrap.

=========

The liberal left wing media is doing their best to make sure we go into
a
recession. ?Yep, they have our best interest at heart. ? ;-)

BTW: ?You recently had your shorts in a knot about folks posting here
OT,
most especially OT Political.

You seem to be doing your share of it recently Chuck?

I've decided that whatever this group of old codgers sitting around
the stove and trading insults is......it isn't a boating newsgroup.
That's what I believe. 75% of the participants here have no interest
in anything except trashing one another, and thereby ruining the group
as well.
===========================

Chuck, you want the group to be what you think it should be at any given
point of time. ? We are into the Presidential election season so your
posts
turn political and that is OK with you........for the moment. ? ?During
non
election years..........you throw a hissy fit about political OT posts.
?Go

Not, you missed my point entirely.

I now accept that the NG has been run into the ground by the posers,
flamers, and OT insult hurlers. It isn't going to come back.
Campaigning for this group to be about boating makes as much sense and
campaigning for it to be about crocheting or pig breeding.

Look around, darn few boaters left.

Boating related posts maybe 1 out of 10.

Average number of responses to a boating related post: 3-6
Average number of responses to a "you're a liberal a-hole" and "you're
conservative trash" exchanges: probably 60, with some running well
over 200.
===============

Those statistics probably hold true for many years...........nothing new
Chuck. We have a dozen or so non boaters here, all normally posting under
annonymous handles and most normally throwing flames/insults towards those
not agreeing with them.

I have seen your share of (oh so subtle) insults to those opposite of your
political views. I have also seen your share of OT political posts.

Glass house? Take a position Chuck.

So..........how is the restored boat running?

I have to be careful Harry.........if I agree with you I will be accused of
being your best bud and having sexual relations with you. :-)

This NG is/has been a virtual circus with some useful boating and other
information thrown in once and a while. We have our share of clowns
keeping us amused in between on topic and other informative discussions.

If you want entertainment...........come to rec.boats. ;-)

Do you understand the differenence between "in danger of recession"
and "in a recession"? Don't bother to answer as you obviously don't.

Why don't you explain it to us, Mr. Cement Truck Driver, or whatever it
is you do for a living?
The technical definition is a drop in GNP for two consecutive quarters.
We're close, but not there yet.


I can just hear -barely- the Republicans whining this fall that "we're
not in a recession, everything is fine, the rich are still rich, and the
barely employed and unemployed and homeless don't matter."
The same thing was going on 8 years ago when Clinton's economy tanked in
his last year.

I don't believe it is going to fly this election cycle.
The Democrat's want to tax us to prosperity, we know how that doesn't
work.


But what ever did happen to the most famous of conservatives stances on a
"balanced budget amendment"?

Earmarks and entitlements. We need to dump entitlements and make people
responsible for their own wants and needs.

Just because you fail to plan for your future shouldn't mean I have to
pay for it.

Not to say we should not help them.........but we should not continue to

No need for anyone to live at poverty levels if they are healthy and able to
work.

You claim to be a christian when it suits your purposes.
Whatever happened to 'you are your brothers keeper'?



I am not my brother's/son's keeper, he can get off his lazy ass and get
a job and support himself.

You seem to equate Christianity with taking care of all of the needs and
wants of others. That isn't the message. When someone needs help give
them help and when they can help themselves they need to be encouraged
to do so rather than begging from others.

ABC, NBC, Air America, CBS, CNN and CNBC, along with all the
liberal owned
newspapers have been trying their hardest to convince folks we
are in a
recession in their attempt to make one happen.
Glad to see not everyone is buying into their crap.
funny that the secretary of the treasury and the fed
chairman...both
liberal commie radicals appointed by bush...thought the economy
was in
danger of recession as well.
Do you understand the differenence between "in danger of
recession" and "in a recession"? Don't bother to answer as you
obviously don't.

Why don't you explain it to us, Mr. Cement Truck Driver, or
whatever it is you do for a living?
The technical definition is a drop in GNP for two consecutive
quarters. We're close, but not there yet.


I can just hear -barely- the Republicans whining this fall that
"we're not in a recession, everything is fine, the rich are still
rich, and the barely employed and unemployed and homeless don't
matter."
The same thing was going on 8 years ago when Clinton's economy
tanked in his last year.

I don't believe it is going to fly this election cycle.
The Democrat's want to tax us to prosperity, we know how that
doesn't work.


But what ever did happen to the most famous of conservatives stances
on a "balanced budget amendment"?

Earmarks and entitlements. We need to dump entitlements and make
people responsible for their own wants and needs.

Just because you fail to plan for your future shouldn't mean I have to
pay for it.


How very *Christian* of you.

"I've got mine, screw you."

Nice try Krause.

Who did you screw to get that nice chunk of changes when you were
working at Ullico? Seems to me you made a killing in WorldCom. Don't you
remember that's where you got the money to buy the 36' Zimmerman like
Lobsta' boat. What happened to the Lobsta' boat? Have you sold it. Did
you sink it for the money to buy the first Parker?

Curious minds would like to know. I'll be Don is wondering what happened
to the Lobsta' boat too.

Pay attention to where your tax dollars are going. It isn't to the
single mom struggling to raise her kids. How about $1 billion to
Walmart? $12 billion to Microsoft? The list goes on. Before I worry
about people struggling, I'd like to see some severe campaign finance
reform. IMHO, that's the problem.

You idiots, and I use the term idiots purposefully, have got to think

Corporations provide a place for your retirement funds to grow to
support you when you retire.

Corporations contract with other corporations.

Corporations employ individuals, individuals pay taxes.

Individuals buy things from other corporations, those other corporations
employ individuals who pay taxes.

I am glad that corporations exist.

I am glad that the government encourages corporations, via tax relief or
grants, to grow and expand and employ more individuals.

Corporations are good.

There are other ways to get corporations to do what the government
wants. Say, pass a law.

You asked for a definition of corporate welfare, here's one: "a program
is considered Corporate Welfare if its public cost outweighs its public
benefits." I believe it's Ralph Nadar's.

I have no problems with corporations doing what they were designed to do,
but an incestuous relationship has developed between corporations and our
politicians. At the heart of it, is campaign finance.

up lies to make your story better, a la JimH and Harry.

Become your own man, Don. Being a puppy is unbecoming.

Gee...it wasn't so long ago that you were Chuck's deputy sheriff. Now that
was embarrassing.... even I was embarrassed for you, the way you tagged
along trying your best to be a reasonable facsimile... but ended up just a
cheap copy.


Whoooosh!

Be your own man, Don.

Corporations are good.


Our own little Gordon Gekko...how nice.

It's just wonderful that we grant welfare to corporations so they can
shut down US operations, fire US workers and hire slave labor overseas.
Poor Harry, never owned a share of stock, never owned any mutual fund
shares, never invested in a retirement plan owning mutual fund
shares...what a crying shame.

Of course, that lobsta' boat is probably appreciating significantly!

Johnny...why are you so interested in Harrys' boats?
I believe you were one of the chosen few who was ever offered an outing
and
you spit in Harrys' face.

Wrong boat. He offered me a ride on his 25' Parker (no matter what lie he
makes up). I declined because I couldn't have taken being with Harry that
long, at least not on a boat that small.

Now, if he offered to take me along on the Disney Magic, that might be
different.

John Herring lives in a glass house.

And he continues to bring me up with lies about me.............tell those
lies enough times and folks may start to believe them.

Infatuation. The old man needs another Goofy Cruise.

Better yet, he could get a job on the Disney cruise ship and play the part
of Goofy.
If he had the endurance to stay on his feet for more than 15 minutes at a
time, he'd be a natural.
