We got all the wrong friends in the rigth places ($$$). Why didn't we
invade Cuba that got sugar cane and tobacco?

Likely to come soon. We're funneling tons more money to the Batista
lovers right now.

Iraq has progressed far more towards democracy in the short time it's

You probably think Washington was our first president.

Human progress is continuous despite the misguided efforts of some
conservatives to prevent it and to keep us trapped in the
Eisenhower Years.

Those were golden years following our victories in W.W.II. It has
been all downhill ever since. America is being eroded and destroyed
by multiculturalism. I blame liberalism for all our woes. Yea, we
will never see such a golden age again as those Eisenhower years.

The Golden Age was document on TV in such classics as "Father Knows
Best." Unfortunately the reality of those Golden Years was rather
different, but conservatism likes its sepia colored glasses.

Think this country could fight another conflict today like W.W.II? I think
that just about says it all!

Human progress is anything but continuous. I have never read anything
so asinine in my life.

Cheers to you too, Ed (and fellow Minnesotan). You fail to understand
that history has controlling trends, and that conservatism is constantly
fighting a rearguard action that it is doomed to lose. That you choose
to blame liberalism for all our woes just shows that you're an idiot.

We had nothing but Democratic liberals in power for like 50 years after
W.W.II. Thank God we have recently had some Republicans in charge. Any one
like to see Gore or Kerry in charge of the War on Islam?

It took a Newt Gingrich to clean up the Democratic liberal mess in
Washington. I hope he runs for President in 2008.

By the way, here it is again as I know Minnesota liberals like you never get
anything the first time around:

Umm. That's one of many things that shows that he's an idiot.
Referring to yourself as "The Great" would suffice for me.

Great is a relative term which I use on Usenet since everyone else here,
including you, are nothing but Lilliputians. In the land of the blind, the
one-eyed man is king.

Tim,

You seem to have overlooked the possibility that Mr. Ed Dolan the Grate
is not an idiot, but merely incorrigible provocateur.

There are no greater liberal numskulls in the entire nation than those from
Minnesota. I saddens me that someone with such a good Irish name as McNamara
is one of them. He probably reads the StarTribune (Minneapolis) and so has
been brainwashed and is now good for nothing except spouting liberal
nonsense.

Hey, how about that bit of his about history being on a continuous
progressive roll. He should maybe read some history instead of the
despicable StarTribune to get a clue about how cyclical history really is.
But it is always liberals like him who are living in the moment who think
nonsense like this. We conservatives know better.

There is another distinctly possible hypothesis: that he is both an
incorrigible provocateur *and* an idiot.

How would Clinch know anything at all about me. He kill filed me long ago
and now reads only what others quote in their messages. Since he does not
read my messages, he is not qualified to have an opinion.

So, if it's public transit it's welfare, but if it's spent on roads for
automobiles it's a wise infrastructure decision? Hmmm, curious.

The money for roads largely comes from drivers. The money for buses
and rail largely comes from (wait for it....) drivers.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can
result in a fully-depreciated one.

The more people ride public transportation and bikes, the fewer the
cars. And that is a welcome relief for drivers sitting in rush hour.
Unless they enjoy sitting there and listening to Rush Limbaugh...

Not me. Almost certainly not a majority. There you are.

They represent the status quo, Big Oil and SUVs. Money gets them to
power, money is their choice when taking decisions.

You have a problem with them. Most people don't.

Not if you look the other way or if you are at the top of the food
chain. Things look different when you are a carnivore than when you are
vegetarian monkey. You know, monkeys got to keep jumping all the time,
never coming down to where the lion is, just to survive. But hey, wait
a minute, THIS IS A DEMOCRACY, I thought the lions should be in cages
and the monkeys roaming free.
