I have TONS AND TONS of things to discuss since Jan 2009 and could you do me a favor....I forgot....list or show me the comments about BEFORE Jan 2009....thanks

I think the question raised here is simple. When we discuss the issues, the libs lose every time. They rely on an unending attack on the character of any conservative. I give you President Bush and Rush as evidence. The effective attacks were of a personal nature. Remember that President Bush was stupid and Rush was a drug abuser. Now President Bush has a Harvard MBA and Rush had a fraction of the substance abuse problem as do many politicians, but don’t bother me with the truth. Because of this, conservatives tend to be more civil.
Libs also rely on a “cult of personality” to achieve and maintain power. The two best examples of this are Presidents Kennedy and Obama. They rely on a cult of personality to lead. The media is a willing accomplice.
That’s what I think, anyway.

I guess Liberals are silent on Global cooling because they have not yet figured out how to tax it under an "ICECAP AND TRADE" bill.

cashman - the libs have moved from global cooling and global warming....now they lump everything together and call it climate change....sooo ...they have it covered no matter which way the trend goes.....kinda of like betting on all the horses in the race...and that...they can tax. I predict with certainty and hard evidence the next president will be either a male or female.

I bet your prediction for the next POTUS is right on.

Why are you leaving out the other genders

Very interesting.

who started smear campaigns regarding Obama's citizenship, patriotism,nor started calling him a "Socialist" or a "Communist." Politics is politics, but the right-wing smear machine, fueled by the nomination of Sarah Palin and helped immeasurably by the partisan positions of FOX, once again reached new lows of despicability during the campaign.

There was a systematic study released today that global warming is in act continuing- that the last ten years are still the hottest on record, even if the actual warmest year was 1998, then 2005. Short-sightedness, perhaps caused by squinting eagles or the used dried up tea in the teabags, seems typical of cons. Sort of like the little child who whines, "Gimme mine, NOW!"

I'm not saying global warming is human-made, only that pretending global warming is not a statistical long-term issue, is like a child making a sand castle when the tide is out and not understanding that high tide eventually comes. Children see only what is front of them now: that's the story of Iraq, of health care reform, of the history of Medicare, Social Security, and the story of the financial meltdown that began in the Bush Administration.
Short term "I want it now- I want what I deserve NOW, I don't care about the future" is the screeching call of the cons and the Beckerheads.

It appears to me that those, and I assume you feel this way, who think ALL the problems with smear politics come from the right, and none from the left......AND who also condemn folks on Fox without condemning those on MSNBC (Olberman, Maddow, etc) .....

1. Have very very short memories

2. Are part of the problem with this country and the great divide !

I, personally, would NOT go to Fox News or MSNBC for any real nitty gritty details. BOTH are slanted.

As for Global cooling... don't get out your parkas just yet!

Well put!

You are wasting your time with these people.

If they do not get their news from FOX they are getting Nothing but Liberal spin.

The earth warms. The earth cools. Liberals, Marxists and other political opportunists use this natural phenomenon to create discord between the classes, raise taxes and penalize powerful, industrial nations by divesting them of their natural resources and treasures. Kind of a spread the wealth thing on a global level. It also gives posters an opportunity to strike their name calling, mean spirited colors and attack Conservatives with contrived, bombastic and somewhat pedantic rhetoric.
