Posted By Darian Rachal
I didn't have the opportunity to listen to Obama last night; my underwear drawer was in a state of disarray and needed tending to. sad

Anybody hear anything that would make them hopeful?

GOP Debate Tonight

Posted By Darian Rachal
I was listening to a bit of the Neil Boortz program this morning. I have no idea whether this is true or not, but he said that both Mitch Romney and Michelle Bachman were planning to criticize Perry for his characterization of Social Security as a 'Ponzi scheme'.

I know Romney made remarks in the last "debate" praising SS. sad I'm afraid if Bachman does the same, that will be a strike against her in my book. In the minds of many, SS seems to be some sort of "sacred cow" that cannot be discussed. Actually, I hope it is eventually eliminated.

I think Perry is 'right on target' on this matter. It'll be interesting to see who supports his position. smile

Interesting quote regarding Obama

Posted By Darian Rachal
Not sure who actually made this statement. It was sent to me implying that it may have been made by the President of the Czech Republic. :S I find it interesting.

[COLOR="Red"]"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."[/COLOR]

2009 Speech by Newt

Posted By Darian Rachal
This is part of a speech given by Newt a couple of years ago. I think it's quite poignant.

Great Game at Iowa State(11-18)

Posted By Darian Rachal
Glad to see Iowa State pull the upset over OK State last night. I'm inclined to think that LSU and Alabama are the two best teams, but I think it would be somewhat unfair to give AL another chance at the BCS title.

I always enjoy the excitement of all the fans coming out of the stands onto the field after a big upset.

Benjamin Franklin on the poor.

Posted By Darian Rachal
"I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it... The less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."

This is really just common sense, but it certainly is the exact opposite of how the federal government deals with poverty. cwy

Huntsman/Gingrich Foreign Policy Discussion

Posted By Darian Rachal
If anyone is interesting in this "Debate", which took place yesterday in New Hampshire, here is the link: http://www.jon2012.com/livestream . Both individuals made very good points, particularly in regard to DOD spending. IIRC, that was discussed during the last 15-20 minutes.

I Have A Dream

Posted By Darian Rachal
The speech is about 15 minutes long. Actually well worth listening to in it's entirety. There is nothing in it that should offend any true conservative. smile

Question Regarding Judaism

Posted By Darian Rachal
Do Jews baptize? I was wondering because of the story of John baptizing Jesus and others in the Jordon River.
