    You are blaming progressives for the Republican Depression???????????

    Consider the following:

    Republican President, Republican Senate, Republican House, and Republican Federal Reserve Chairman: 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931.
    Result: THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

    Democratic President, Democratic Senate, Democratic House, and Democratic Federal Reserve Chairman: 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947.
    Result: END OF GREAT DEPRESSION, VICTORY IN WORLD WAR II, OUR COUNTRY'S BEST ECONOMY.

    (Note to those who will try to use common GOP lies: The Great Depression was needlessly extended when FDR took bad advice from GOP in 1937 regarding austerity. Also, WWII helped to show the importance of massive spending to get out of a Republican Depression.)

    This is in all the history books.

    Look it up!

    Your side gave us Detroit, are those the liberal type policies you are trying to get us to support?

    Please reword your question, so it actually makes sense.

    Thank you.

    That would be unfortunate. Our men and women killed in the line of duty would then be victims of workplace violence. Should the Armed Services start unions so that if killed or injured in the line of their police duty they will at least be covered?

    Indeed. What was truly puzzling is their stance on that in one breath, then telling us we needed to Free Tibet! and help the people of Darfur......

    It's estimated that had Operation Olympic [the invasion and subsequent occupation of Japan] been realized, combined casualties would have been around 3 million.

    So both sides can play these "Label" games...

    From this point forward, how about those who oppose the Obama Agenda, refer to Obama as ...



    Mordred!




    Appears at first as fair young man, full of idealism.

    Turns out to be a Dark Prince, returning from across the sea, to wreak vengeance in the name of his Father, on the people of his motherland.

    The more you think about the character, his history and habits, and the President, the better it fits.

    We've seen the light of a libertarian philosophy after the failures of Iraq and Libya.

    Stop race baiting, it degrades your argument. The same reasoning could be used for why liberals now support the warmongering agenda of Obama: 'because he's black@@$))$' zooooomg!!!!'

    Looks like you agree that only progressive policies work. Why then aren't you a progressive?

    Obamacare didn't kick in yet. It will be several years until its effectiveness can be determined.

    The stimulus plan was woefully inadequate. Real progressive like Paul Krugman wrote extensively about that fact. MASSIVE spending is necessary to get out of a Republican depression, if history is any guide.

    I've come up with a few more.

    1. Boots on the ground.
    This means that your children are about to die, that is, children progressives are forced to pretend that they care about to gain your vote.

    2. Bipartisan.
    This is like political courage in that you are about to get screwed, only, with political courage progressives have no intention of ever being elected to office again. When they are bipartisan, however, they fully expect to get elected again because you don't fully realize how you are getting screwed.

    3. Red Line
    This term is still in progress of being defined. Currently it is only used to deride and poke fun at progressives, however.

    Now you are catching on. What exactly made the conservative? They ran up the deficit, created wars abroad, and created one of the largest entitlements in US history with the Drugs for Seniors program.

    Oh, I forgot, "W" said he opposed abortion. Big "woo".

    Was it not Dick Cheney who said that deficits no longer matter? DIck Cheney is your father!!

    Indeed. Progressives policies never fail because they if they fail they simply have not been done on a large enough scale or implemented in the right way. There is no "fail" in the term progressive. They have evolved far enough to overcome human failure so they will continue to implement failed programs until they work.

    You idiot, the progressive movement created the Fed and centralized banking. You are making an arugment for conservative and not your home team. You equate the GOP with conservatives? I don't.

    President Wilson was a democrat and got the US into WW1. FDR was a democrat and got the US into WW2. Trueman was a democrat and got the US into Korea. LBJ was a democrat and got the US into Vietnam.

    War is good for an economy, isn't it? Maybe that is what Obama is thinking.

    Actually leftist fascists like yourself make that impossible. You can't even leave law abiding citizens alone. Just don't expect everyone to lie down for you.

    Say, how about a biggie soda?

    Laws by nature restrict our freedoms, that is why conservatives are so averse to passing them, or if they do, they do so with great trepidation. After all, if men were angels there would be no need for laws. Laws should only be enacted to protect men from harming their fellow man, not to imprison them with a bureaucratic state.

    In fact, last year alone the government passed over 40,000 new regulations and laws. Did some good from them? I'm sure there was, in fact, the odds of some benefit occuring are in your favor. However, the evil and destruction they cause will be glibly ignored.

    Case in point is the war on poverty. Sure, some people were helped by it, but looking at poverty today and poverty when it was enacted under LBJ it would appear we are worse off than before some $16 trillion dollars in debt later.

    Will people like you ever man up and own up to your short comings? Nope, you will just move onto the next green field like the locusts you are.

    LOL- Armaggedon- funny how when Conservative hawks push war, its never Armageddon....

    What a bunch of hypocrites all around.

    Those who supported the war in Iraq are apoplytic about lobbing missiles into Syria
    Those who opposed the war in Iraq are eager to lob missiles into Syria

    So funny seeing Conservatives act just like the people who opposed the Iraqi war- even the same terminology.
