They're not abolishing it, they're privatizing it! If they're stupid,
they're stupid all the way to the bank. The rank and file is another matter,
although they are more ignorant and manipulated than stupid.

That is until the Whigs come back to reassert themselves. Ever since
Millard Fillmore they have been laying low just waiting to once again rise
to power.

After all without the leadership of the Whigs, California might have never
become a state. He also sent off Perry to open Japan to trade.

Interesting point indeed. And deadly accurate. Of course its noted
that Old Byrd..the main man of the Democratic party was a Grand
Kleagle in the KKK. And of course, its been the Democrats who have
promoted such odious racist legislation for so many years.

What other group has been actively promoted a political agenda that
caused so many blacks to HAVE to depend on their Democrat Massa's?

And of course it was the Republicans, from Lincoln forward who were
the Civil Rights leaders, while the Dems were first and formost,

There is an old saying, attributed to various ethnic groups,
"don't spit in the soup, we all gotta eat.

A review of the government's own socio-economic data such as the
GINI index and poverty rates shows that control of the real
wealth is becoming concentrated in an every smaller fraction of
the population. This concentration has been a leading indicator
if not a precursor for every economic crash/panic back to the
civil war and currently the concentration is significantly higher

As a follow-on, it is by no means clear to me that there has been
**ANY** increase in real wealth, as most people understand it.

As far as it can be determined, the claimed corporate earnings
are increasingly based on the cobwebs and moonbeams of "mark to

It was the Louisiana Governor election in 1992 (iirc), when the popular

I know a couple of folks you might call left-liberal Democrats and can
assure you that even they don't consider Dukes to have been a typical
Republican.

I merely note that when he chose to enter mainstream politics he chose
to run as a Republican instead of joining the Democrats as had his
ilk over the previous century or so.

Good for them. I am also grateful to that ass, Frank Buchanon for
running against GH Bush in the 1992 election. Buchanon finished
second in all the primaries, pushing Dukes back to an even more
distant third, and thus depriving Dukes of almost all publicity.

LBJ was no more a Conservative than was Mao Zedong.

As the protoge of both FDR and Sam Rayburn, LBJ was a radical liberal who
only masqueraded as a moderate.

All the "Social Programs" attributed to JFK were _dead_ until LBJ
"steamrollered" Congress into passing them "as a memorial to our beloved
President".

So the definition of a Liberal is "Spendthrift"?
Isn't that pretty much what we've been saying all along?

LBJ was no more a Conservative than was Mao Zedong.

Neither is GWB. He and his administration are spending
money they don't have, like the proverbial drunken
sailor. Oh for the days of the balanced federal budget.

Well, that hasn't happened for many decades, Jim...

Not since January of 1961 - and, even then, we still had a National Debt
left over from WW2 and Korea.

As to a "true" set of "balanced books", you'd have to go back to January,
1933, when FDR took office and the Democrats started to spend the country
out of "The Great Depression".
