Interesting Passage from "Atlas Shrugged"

Posted By Dave Wagner

Well timed, find, Darian...

I fear we *are* on the cusp here in America... hopefully enough realize it to turn it around before it is too late, and more of us start "shrugging"...

Because if they don't, such will be the only cure for the true ailment this country has, which has been building - like a poisonous boil - ever since the debut of Progressivism...

I don't mind that the president-to-be is rich - after all that's the American Dream but I think having off-shore bank accounts and tax shelters might be a little un-American. I'm sure he is complying with state and federal laws but... wink

Jim J

It's "un-American" to try and *legally* keep some of your own money away from the tax man?

I don't think so.

Keeping the tradition in Chicago

Posted By Dave Wagner

Remember, the vast majority of *national* politicians in the demonrat party are Lawyers... most in the Republican party, are *not*... they are businessmen, doctors, etc...

explains a lot when you think about it...

How Carter Beat Reagan

Darian Rachal said:

One of my fondest memories grin of the 1980 Reagan landslide was the 'stunned' expression on Dan Rather's face as the map of the US turned practically all 'red'; it was like he was in a state of shock, and I guess he probably really was. 8O

I'm hoping for an on air "double suicide" with Chris Matthews and Andrea Mitchell, this go round. wink

It will truly be an enjoyable event, eh?

Tie? I could live with that <g>

Posted By Dave Wagner

Yep - me too... it would be fun to watch the lefties scream (yet again) that (yet another) election was somehow "stolen" from them...

Being constitutionally ignorant and all that, doncha know...

That said, the scenarios for a tie are a bit unbelievable (at the moment anyway)...

Let us begin a new.

Posted By Dave Wagner

Rob Wiederrich said:

As if the president had never been the president and he is new and fresh and full of hope and new ideas for setting straight awful wrongs in this country.

Let us unite as Americans and fellow amature astronomers. We all use different means to gain the same rewards in viewing the heavens. Is the refractor guy better then the reflector or compound instrument guy at gaining the greatest enjoyment out of the wonders of the universe?

No...I say lets enjoy today while it is still called today and allow the new president to show us what he has brought to the table of liberty and freedom, for the advancement of our country.

Let us move *forward*, never to shed off our moral convictions for compromise...but rather compromise our opinions for the greater good.

What do ya say boys...shall we shake on it, setting aside pride...or shall we continue to hate one another...people whom we have never met(In most cases)in *revenge* or embrace out of *love of country*? 8)


I hate nobody... I despise evil ideas, like those that insist that anyone has a claim on me and my efforts, because of some stupid choices someone else makes.
