No, I was not suggesting that at all. Any Rep. who supports Cap&Trade and such has to go. I would have voted reluctantly for O'Donnell and still would were I in Delaware. Too late for 2010, but I was thinking ahead to 2012. The TP should do a better job vetting the candidates they intend to support in the primaries — more types like Miller in Alaska.
“Lamestream Media” destroyed Palin who could do and say nothing right and excused far less qualified community organizer Obama who could do no wrong for their agenda. People are a bit more more hip to that b.s. today. If O'Donnell wins, it may indeed boost Palin for a serious run. For Obama to lose in 2012, the Republicans need someone not bland like Pawlenty and the rest. Now that Woodward's new book is out, perhaps an angry Petraeus?Advice to Tea Party -- compromise with some candidates in the election. A Republican majority gets control of committees. Not to do so give truth to the old clich?, bite off your nose to spite your face.
Some GENERAL similarities to Rome: Roman Republic, one of virtue and family-centered by leading families –same in early USA. Roman Empire, disintegration of family virtues, open citizenship to nearly all. Decline of patriotism.Roman Republic, great families' sons participated in wars; so did those of TR, FDR, and older Kennedys, and BushI served; Clinton, Bush II, and Ivy grads excepting Oliver Stone avoided combat during Viet Nam War. No comment about Obama. Not from a "great" family though.Some have compared the Kennedy assassinations with that of the Gracchi (wealthy family demagoguing the masses), which began the decline to an EmpireLater Roman Empire had pressure on its borders from "barbarians" who wanted to share in its riches. Sound familiar?Later Roman Empire could not fight barbarians and Parthians without surrogate troops (see Reids latest amnesty move) and allies because of decline of patriotism. Later Empire could not or lacked the will to garrison the entire border.Later Roman Empire became too big to govern, thus its division.And there is always the wild card of disease. Plagues did weaken the Empire according to some.17th century Spain spent its gold and silver on war and imports. It sent its raw materials to other countries and then purchased finished products at inflated prices instead of developing home industries.Events and personalities can alter what one may believe to a logical progression of History.Enjoy the show. 😉
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!Parts of some bawdy sea chanties we used to sing at Cal taught to me by WWII vets in my frat:"The cabin boy, the cabin boy,that plucky little nipper,he lined his ass with broken glass,and circumsized the skipper.There's friggin in the riggin'...."Or"In founteen hundred and ninety-twothere lived a dago in eye-tally,and every night by the pale moonlighthe jacked off in the ally.He knew the world was roundo,he know it could be foundo,that masturbatin' casteratin'sunuvabitch Columbo...."or"Twas on the good ship Venus,my God you should have seen us,the forehead was a whore in bed,And the mast an erected penis...."
