if the choice is between a nanny state and the repressive totalitarian
state that Bush and his cronies want to impose, I'll choose the nanny
state. You have a better chance rebelling against a nanny than against
a murderous group of thugs.

Which I suppose is why Lincoln in 1861 chose to close the doors
of Congress, arrest judges and legislators, close newspapers,
create the draft (and the ensuing riots) and start a war and then
rewarded his European and domestic business backers by beginning
the military/industrial complex.

On the other hand, WWI, WWII, Korea and Viet Nam were all
underwritten by Democrat presidents.

I will have to disagree with you on that matter. Most police officers
have above average intelligence, are well educated, and come from just
about every walk of life. True, there are some who are bullies who hide
behind a badge, but the vast majority are honest, hard working people
who take their oaths to uphold the law very seriously.

See the hate, see the mindless spewing of Liberal Propaganda. I
wonder..is Michael Moore the Hutt any relation to you? Or have you
just watched far too many repeats of Fairinlie 9-11 and the
programming has taken hold?

chuckle..Comrade Lenin really called it when he spoke of Useful
Idiots.

Ok..Ill play your silly assed game. Without refering to your DNC
talking points crib sheet, please advise exactly what this :repressive
totalitarian state" is all about, and please give some examples and
cites. Not blogs mind you..but cites.

As to rebelling against a murderous group of thugs..seems like we here
in the US have done that at least once..and since we (unlike you
wimpering defenseless bastards) are heavily armed..can do it again.

Now about Bush's plans for a "repressive totalitarian state", lets see
some data.

The Republicans took control in 1994, during the 104th Congress. Now
about the 30 yrs before that....???

Now again you display your political ignorance like a proud banner
lifted high in a breeze. Didnt you ever learn anything in school?
Hummm NEA runs the schools....never mind....

When Reagan took office in 1981, the US economy was in shambles. We
have difficulty remembering how bad the economy was under Carter, but
it was described in terms of the "misery index," and the word
"stagflation" was coined to refer to the double-whammy of economic
stagnation combined with runaway inflation. The automotive industry
was on the verge of collapse under the pressure from Japanese
competition and an oil crisis. The American way of life itself seemed
to be in serious jeapordy. It wasn't the Great Depression, but it was
as close as we've come to it since.

The top tax rate was 70% when Reagan took office. He got it cut in
half to 35%. At the same time, he eliminated many tax shelters that
the rich routinely relied on to avoid paying taxes altogether, forcing
them to invest in the free market and actually pay taxes. Shortly
after the tax cuts were enacted, the economy took off for an
unprecedented period of peacetime growth. The misery index plummeted
as unemployment fell, inflation slowed, and interest rates dropped,
leading to a seven-year boom that the liberal media cynically dubbed
"the decade of greed."

Eight years later George Bush swept into office on Reagan's coattails
and a pledge of "no new taxes." Although he tried to keep his pledge,
Bush ultimately succumbed to unrelenting pressure by the
Democratically controlled Congress to increase taxes. Not
surprisingly, the economy went into a mild recession, though nothing
like the recession of a decade earlier. Unemployment was well below
what it had been under Carter, and inflation was completely under
control. Nevertheless, the liberal media shamelessly dubbed it the
"worst economic period of the last fifty years."

The media hype succeeded at getting their man, Bill Clinton, elected.
Although barely reported, the Bush recession had actually ended before
Clinton even took office, with a vibrant 3.9% annual growth rate in
the last quarter of Bush's administration. In other words, the second
phase of the great Reagan economic boom had already begun before
Clinton even moved to Washington. But of course that didn't stop the
liberal media from giving Clinton credit for it and dubbing it the
"decade of prosperity."

How can we be sure the economic boom presided over by Clinton was
actually due to Reagan? It's simple. Even though Clinton increased tax
rates, the top rate after his tax hikes was still less than 40%, down
a full 30% from the 70% rate before Reagan's tax cuts. In terms of the
money left after taxes, that's a huge jump from (100-70=) 30% to
(100-40=) 60% -- a doubling of the amount of money that continues,
year after year, to go into the private economy rather than the
federal budget. It hardly takes an economist to understand the huge
effect on economic growth of doubling after-tax income.

Clinton also got credit for eliminating the federal deficit, of
course. It is no coincidence, however, that the deficit didn't start
coming down until the Republicans took control of Congress in 1994. As
for the touted "Reagan deficits," the indisputable fact is that
revenues grew tremendously during Reagan's two terms -- but spending
by the Democratically controlled Congress grew even faster, at an
astronomical rate. And contrary to the liberal media spin, the lion's
share of the growth of the federal budget under Reagan was not on
defense, but rather on social entitlement programs such as social
security and Medicare.

Contrary to Democratic demogoguery about "tax cuts for the rich,"
incidentally, the rich actually paid higher taxes after Reagan's tax
cuts. How could that be? Simple. Along with cutting tax rates, Reagan
also eliminated many tax shelters and loopholes. Before Reagan, the
rich avoided paying taxes by investing in windmills and other
boondoggles blessed by the federal government (the "targeted" tax cuts
that Al Gore wanted to reinstate). After Reagan, the rich shifted
their investments to the free market, greatly stimulating the private
economy and causing the information technology boom.

There's more to the story, of course, but everything else is really
secondary. In fairness, Clinton actually did a few things himself to
help the economy, such as opening up free trade and keeping the
Federal Reserve Board under competent leadership. On the other hand,
if Clinton had not been restrained by the Republicans, who took
control of Congress in the middle of his first term, he would have
raised taxes even more than he did, and his wife would have
nationalized the health care industry.

When Clinton was impeached, his party argued that he should be given a
pass because he was doing a good job managing the economy. Without the
huge economic boost from Reagan's tax cuts, Clinton might well have
been removed from office, or might have failed to win re-election.
Gore would have suffered a humiliating defeat in the election to
succeed him, or might have failed to even win the nomination. But
don't hold your breath waiting for the liberal media to start
reporting the truth. If America wants the Reagan economic boom to
continue, they need to figure out for themselves what caused it in the
first place.

Now about Reagan again? What were you spewing..er saying?

Thanks for the education. I happen to have had a thorough education in
Latin.
You may have learnt that the exact connotation of a word is likely to
change over time, and also differs in different regions of the world.
Words tend to change meaning based on history too.

For some information on the current meaning of the word, try any good
dictionary (Webster's, Oxford etc) or
http://open-dictionary.com/Nigger online.

You may have missed history in school, if you think thinking does not
matter.

Missing respect for others is not a gentlemans delict.

As the groups you posted in are not meant for political discussion, this
concludes my arguments on this topic.

Sounds like more spew from the Left to me. Btw..hows that old Klanner
Byrd doing these days? Ill bet he wishes he were not to old to have
another black child and then hide it for all these years, no?

Just out of curiosity....just which administration besides Bush's has
had minority members in high cabinet positions?

Show me.

Civil Rights Act of 1964:

House:
Democrats 152 for, 96 against.
Republicans 138 for, 34 against.

Senate:
Democrats 46 for, 21 against.
Republicans 27 for, 6 against.

You may note large majorities in both houses. The biggest threat to the
act was a 74-day filibuster in the Senate performed by southern Democrats.
Ending the filibuster would not have been possible without strong
Republican support.

There were several previous civil rights acts during the Eisenhower
administration (promoted by the administration, watered down by congressional
Democrats).

We now return you to your regularly scheduled off-topic drivel.

Where do you live, exactly? Although I don't intend to defend a racist
like Tim, I'd be rather unsettled to live in a country where a poor
choice of words could put me on the wrong side of the law. If that's
what you meant. Americans place very high value on our free speech,
even if we don't always use it wisely.

Of course, if by "get you into trouble" you mean "get your ass kicked
so hard you'll be tasting shoe leather", then indeed, Tim could get
into similar trouble in the US.
