I think we will. We have some very good people in this administration,
and

Got a list? Who do you like and why?

I don't keep "lists."

So, you can't/won't reel 'em off, or you have "a generally good
feeling" about the new administration? I see.

I just have no interest in arguing with you about who is good or bad.

Well, you could state them without arguing with me, eh?


I'd count them mostly as Clintonian retreads and previously discounted
failed advisors to the Liberals. ONe example is John P. Holdren (
advisor to Paul Ehrlich, failed author of "sky is falling" Liberal
books, all of which were disproven) Now he "advises" Obama about
science and technology. thud

Is this one of your "good people", Ed?

The page comes up blank. But, Jesus Christ, Larry, are you reading Prison
Planet as one of your sources? No wonder you've been going through the
looking glass lately.

It works for me. It was the first link I found about Holdren. The guy
is just as bonkers as Ehrlich. Check him out. I dare you.


Look, I spent days reading your anti-global-warming "authorities," at your
instructions, only to find out they were full of nonsense. I don't have time
for another round of that.


there's no mystery about what's happening. The biggest risk, IMO, is
that
the recovery will get hung up in partisan politics. If that locks us
into
inaction, we could wind up with a decade like the one that Japan just
had --
and is still having, actually.

That's one risk. Another large risk is insert Arab sleeper theory
here.

What "risk" is that? Forty thousand people die here each year from car
accidents. An estimated 440,000 die each year from smoking-related
illnesses. Is a terror attack going to be worse than that? You can't
destroy
the US with terror attacks.

Oh, noooo, nothing has changed since 9/11, has it? Do you see, in
trainloads of money and degrees of freedom, our country changing
because of it?

Nope. But then, I'm not reading Prison Planet. Maybe they've dug up some new
conspiracy theories.

Lose the wool, Ed.


Besides, a sleeper would turn our heads and eyes away from the reality
of our country being given away.

Paranoia strikes deep, eh?

East Coast blindness, eh?


With the EU's and Russia's help, the
Arabs are starting to redefine democracy around the world until, some
day, we won't even recognize it. It's not an attack, per se, but the
outcome would be the same. It can't be measured in numbers of lives
until it happens, when it goes from zero to beaucoup overnight.

Is that before or after the Trilateral Commission puts drugs in our water
supply?

Go ahead, play it up. Your (and our) leaders are doing things on a
daily basis which continue to sell us out. (It's not paranoia if it's
true, right?)



Another large risk is that the Democrats will give all our
country's offensive (and probably the defensive, too) weapons away...

Where in the hell did this one come from? Is that in your
global-warming-denial books? g

No, from the daily news: Obama's Moscow Summit, etc, etc. Dems are
historically disarmers by nature.

Right. That's how we got into Vietnam. sheesh

No, that's how Demonrats killed thousands of our soldiers in Nam. They
turned off the money while we were still deployed so when they ran out
of ammo, they died. No air cover, no resupply. Grrrrrrrrrr!


outlaw our guns, turn us into another Euro entity, and cause us to
self-destruct (if the bad guys in the world don't act first.)

There are anti-anxiety medications that will relieve those symptoms of
yours, Larry.

You're worried about the sky falling (AGWK) when the infrastructure is
melting. How savvy is that?

It looks pretty accurate, and it's not some little gaggle of conspiracy
theorists who are saying it.

Do you know why eight major glaciers in Alaska are growing, despite global
warming? You should look into it. You'd find out how the conspiracy
theorists are pulling the wool over your eyes.

? Isn't that contra-indicative of the sky falling? Who's pulling
whose wool?


Gee, I wish I were more relevant in national economic and political
trends outside the newsgroup.

We can say a little prayer each night that the attitudes and beliefs of
hardly anyone here is relevant to anything going on in the real world.
d8-)

Yeah, we're all just a bunch of weirdos, aren't we, Ed?

Uh, there is a lot of that going around, especially since Banquer moved back
for a visit. d8-)

Plonk him and forget him. I'm about to plonk Gunner again with all
his retorts to hot ham and sleeze, et al. Damn, that gets annoying to
have to hit the ignore key for 50 posts every day...well, Sundays,
anyway. vbg


Bye!!!

Gunner waves from his lawn chair....as he gets ready for another 2 weeks
in LA....and its obviouis that Larry hasnt a clue about who I send
retorts to. Or why.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
