Important day!

When I wake up in the morning the Jihadists aren't giving that kind of power in my life, ...

It's the same logic the Spaniards had to the original Moor (Mohammendan) settlers.

It's probably what the Indians were thinking at Plymouth.

The Mexicans said the same about the whites moving into Texas.

And it's the same logic the European Jews and Christians had in the early 1930's.

If we are to learn from history, what lesson might one gain from only those 4 instances?

I tell you what the Canadians can come to the rescue! You can have Steven Harper (our Prime Minister) an ultra conservative. He denied that Canada would be affected by the economic crisis and we will take Obama as he suits our more liberal viewpoints. Problem solved

Dr. Jet, you make very good points. Love the stuff on Mark Twain...I go there often (Hannibal, MO)

HAD their been one more candidate (beside that Hilary woman...gag) that could speak well and stand for something (besides the word change) things may have come out different.

I am postive about our "New World" and it looks as if the world is pleased to get GW out of there as well.

If he gets blown away, he will still go down as the best black president ever. If he get get nothing done at all he will still be seen as the best first black presdident ever.

He wanted to do a 30 minute show and buy prime time on all the major TV networks but they would not let him. How much you think Oprah put in? 100 million??

We will soon see who is going to take it in the shorts. Will he help poverty in our country...not a chance.

Good thread but I hate it in a way.

Andy, didn't you get the memo? We no longer have to wake up every day and yell "BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!!"

That time ended at noon EST yesterday when the Masters of Fear and Ignorance left DC.

GWB suffer from what his father told Jimmy Carter, when asked bout UFO's, "Mr president your on a need to know basis and I don't think you need to know" GHWB. His son was ruled by the same hierarchy he(GHWB) left in place while leading the CIA.

I was just listening to.....NPR.

Why does that not suprise me at all.
