Jack,

I for one think that you have done an admirable and balanced job. I hope that the complainers become silent and just let you do this thankless job.

California's Water Woes

Posted By Jim Babcock

So how would the water problem be if the population of illegal immigrants were significantly reduced?

My favorite forum

Well said. Very direct and clear.

I think that the motivation of some who want this board shut down have made it clear that they are simply trying to silence political debate by those who have differing views from theirs. It is so sad to believe that closed minded people like that exist. We conservatives believe in true diversity and freedom of speech.

Afghanistan

Posted By Jim Babcock

Obama said "Victory is not necessarily the goal in Afghanistan".

So what is the goal for libs? Losing?

Is he just there to kill young men and women?

As a typical lib he does not want to win because that would mean that someone would have to lose. Libs want everyone to FEEL good about themselves. He certainly would not want to say anything that may hurt the self esteem of a terrorist or the enemy.

Remember how the NY Times made it national story when the war started because we did not have enough of the equipment for this war? Well the Dems in Washington are deliberately diverting cash intended to be used for bullets to instead be used for pork back home. If the media was even close to fair Obama would be skewered over this and his antics. This is the same media that during the Bush years wanted to show every casket of a fallen soldier as it came home, yet now the last thing they want to show is that type of picture.

We have the greatest military in history, but when there is an idiot at the helm like Obama who has no intention of winning the war, and when there is a complicit press who believes that their job is to keep the dictator in power, the military and the rest of the country for that matters is screwed. We need the elections to come quickly to stop the insanity of this president and his co-conspirators. In this free country, that is all that we can do, until the guy breaks the camel's back and the citizens decide to rise up in revolt. I was actually surprised that there was not more violence over the thievery that the Dems have done against this country through their taxing and spending. To this president, the war is just like his domestic policies, just another disaster that he is creating in order to take full political advantage of. That is the simple truth about libs and this president.

Halloween Politics

Posted By Jim Babcock

That is absolutely hilarious. On the other hand, it is also so representative of the truth. If anything it is too mild. Some libs believe that 50% is way too low. Some believe that the richest should pay up to 90% to give to the state so that it can be redistributed to others who did not earn it.

Health care reform and abortion

Posted By Jim Babcock

How in the world can does anyone think that killing a baby is improving health? You must be a twisted lib to make that connection. The first rule of medicine is do no harm and yet libs insanity believes killing babies is consistent with that rule.

Your stimulus money is going, going,

Posted By Jim Babcock

As they say follow the money. When you do it with Obama, it often goes to his buddies like this.

We don’t need ‘Healthcare Reform’

Posted By Jim Babcock

The worst part is that the leftist regime keeps trying to find a way to take over the medical system under the guise of competition. If they actually wanted competition, they could do it easily without destroying the entire health care system. To add competition, they simply would have to change the law that makes it illegal for insurance companies to sell insurance over state boundaries. This is about the Obama regime simply creating a disaster for political gain and to put it under the control of socialists. They have no intention of fixing anything. How typically liberal of them.

Mama Mia!

Posted By Jim Babcock

Obama took over two auto companies who were already in trouble and see where they are. Obama tool over an economy that was in recession, and see where it is. Looks like a pattern. Obama wants to take over health care, and there are libs who actually believe that he intends to improve the situation. Obama is not in this to improve anything for anyone but himself. Always remember his administration's motto.

Yet Another Study

Posted By Jim Babcock

There are plenty of stupid studies out there that say the obvious. In fact there are planty of websites on the topic. Add to that there are plenty of studies funded by those who have an agenda and the fact that doing studies is a fund raising activity for professors and academics, and it makes a thinking person skeptical about any study. So simply - yawn.
