Are any of our America posters under the impression that the US is some sort of perpetual state?


:lol:


Yes , yes they are - the pinnacle of human civilization and all that.




G.

Being the pinnacle of human civilization is great, but it hardly guarantees any perpetuity.

After all, every single OTHER pinnacle of human civilization has become the not pinnacle. I am sure the US of Pinacle A will do the same.

Sure we don't.  Our current levels have worked like a charm keeping the budget balanced.  Oh, yeah, I forgot, if it wasn't for all that out of control spending.  :rolleyes:

Glad we agree now :hug:

Maybe she's envious of the Duggars but is too old to do it the way they did it.


I somehow got my wife to watch the GOP debate with me.  Her favorite guy so far:  Ron Paul :huh:

Ron Paul is at least consistent.

That's taking it a bit far, but we could stand to reduce defense spending.

Out of curiosity, where has the bulk of spending increases been in the last decade?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And God love him for it.  I agree with him on quite a few issues, but the ones where we differ tend to be huge.  Like his stance on Iran.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That didn't help me.  I guess you don't know.

Monomaniacs typically are.

My wife asked me that if Cain somehow got the nomination, which guy would blacks vote for.  She's so naive :D

Ron Paul got the most applause. That has a psychological effect on certain types of people.

If by people you mean those clapper lights, sure.
