There is finally peace on earth and the United Nations takes the credit.

I found this here.

There probably won’t ever be one again. At least, not for another few generations.

“Scorched Earth” partisan politics of the 1990’s has pretty much put an end to that lofty ideal.

Oh, please. And NOBODY on the Right says that about Carter or Clinton?

Gimme a break.

He didn’t disappoint though although there are some other things I wish he would do differently.

The liberals handle things entirely different. Let’s just say their attitude is more judgemental and superior. They do no wrong and they NEVER admit it when one of their politicians do wrong. On this website I read what the liberals write and it comes out here as well.

Honestly, how on earth is there ever going to be serious debate with things as they are?

I have criticized Bush policy when I thought it was called for. Others have here too. But our opponents accuse us of lock-step, unwavering support. I guess it makes them feel better.

Absolutely correct- President Carter should admit his failure and take full blame for the middle east crisis that we have to confront today.

Again, I will challenge you to back your assertion regarding “lies”.

But it wasn’t until 9/11 that I was astonished that they behaved the way they did and to this day liberals still amaze me in their naivete. And these were people who held PhD’s.

Go figure.

But yes, BLAME BUSH! If one can blame Bush for causing hurricane Katrina* (and indirectly many did) then it isn’t a stretch to blame Bush for anything and everything.

* And if Al Gore had been elected in 2000, Katrina would NOT have happened because Al would have stopped Global Warming by then!
