Looks like things are improving.

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.

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?

What gives? ?Which stance do you really believe in?- Hide quoted text -

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
figure.



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.
