Well, one man's junk is...

You didn't answer the question. Is it the truth?

During the campaign I said we had a Marxist (Obama), a Socialist (Hillary) and a Democrat running as a Republican (McPain), to pick from. I haven't changed my opinion.

This is the part that really gets my dander up.

There are people out there, like me, who are sympathetic to many conservative concerns.

Making stuff up out of thin air and sticking to it when the facts don't back it up does you more harm than good when trying to sway people's thinking.

Fact: The banks are paying back TARP funds.

Fact: The government is preparing to divest itself of GM

Conclusion: The government is communist?

You do yourself NO favors when you only look for things that support your point of view. That's thinking the way many religions think - with a conclusion and then trying to find facts to back it up. Think critically or more scientifically and you might end up changing your own mind.

I don't like the growth of government over the past year but these ARE extraordinary times, almost without precedent (note I say ALMOST).

Were Presidents Nixon and/or Ford Marxists? They presided over the government takeover of 16 northeast freight railroads in the creation of Conrail in January of 1976. We The People owned Conrail until 1999 and the government, UNDER BILL CLINTON, sold it at a profit.

Now, you want to argue that Obama has socialistic tendencies or that he believes government is a solution to problems? Plenty of evidence for that. But be careful when you throw around emotionally charged words like "Communist" or "Marxist". Why? Because it's too easy to refute you with the facts.

Victoria Jackson? Really? haha! Well, I guess she's as bright at Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin.

I agree with djplong. This kind of crap does the conservative party no good at all. Just one more buffoon.

So when the liberals all laugh heartily on Saturday Night Live, it is just harmless fun because their poking fun at conservatives? Liberals only laugh when the humor is aimed away from themselves?

You certainly do like to lump people into categories. I, personally, see humor on both sides of the aisle.

Though, my gut feeling is that you take Victoria Jackson seriously.

Lumping people into categories ? Is that a gut feeling too?

Anyways, I thought it was humorous. But of course, I don't think Bill Maher is funny. Do you?

Yes! I do think Bill Maher is funny. But my all time favorite is Jon Stewart. However last night, I think he was wrong on one subject. He said that Sarah Palin made her comedic debut on Jay Leno, but I think she did that at the RNC Convention.

I'm also a big Colbert fan. Go figure...

Interesting. I find her articulate, funny,smart and attractive. Many traits that some older women find threatening. Speaking of which, Ms. Pelosi is such a turn-off. Of course I feel comfortable in my shoes.
