I would respectfully, for the SAME reasons you point to Ronnie, that all of the instances where the US became "stupid" were FORGIVEN by the rest of the planet ... "chit happens" is the attitude of most of the world. In *THIS* case however, "we" have not only blown our credibility in terms of our claims to other nations (WMD's as just ONE example, we won't even go INTO the "reckless cowboy/NASCAR" attitude we've projected) and our "stuff it" mentality to the rest of thw world, who once SYMPATHIZED with us over WTC but *now* we've PROVEN that we deliberately did all we did, and we LOVE it (like the perception of Germany among the world in 1939).

Maybe I'm a little more attuned to the planet personally since my fortunes were based on WORLDWIDE sales of what I make - Americans ACTUALLY believe that if they have a copy of McAfee or Norton which came with the machine 6 years ago when it was new but has never been updated because they don't want to pay $40 a year or whatever to update their antivirus, that they're "increvable" (French word, translate it HERE) ... bottom line, I *starve* catering to "American values" ... EUROPE and ASIA was who still believe in "if a boy is clever, and he writes better "protection software" than anybody else, then he DESERVES to be PAID for it." Not so with people here in the states that PIRATE our software and thus I *don't* get paid. Lately, I'm paying MORE in bandwidth for the daily updates of our BOClean than I've MADE in selling it. Am I going to punish those who PAID by charging for updates? HELL, NO! THEY paid my bills, how COULD I? :(

I get paid in EUROS, British POUND, Australian and Canadian DOLLARS ... I've watched more than 1/3 of my income go away on what FEW international sales we do these dayw, which provided my meager income. And NOW after the election, as well as during the "dollar bust" I'm seeing worldwide retribution towards America for "there's a new sheriff in town and his name NOT be Reggie Hammond" and America voting for it.

So YEAH, I'm all FOR a divided country right about now - the simple fact that we're in a globally-recognized BLUE state is the only reason my software's still selling at all (less than 30% of last year with the "$US" conversions on top if it) ... I'm DYING out here as a result of the (lack of) economic policies and the Nixonesque "put the dollar int he toilet, EVERYBODY can affor 30% inflation or thereabouts)" mentality.

Nope ... if THIS chit don't stop, I've had about 30 offers from OTHER nations to move our business there and then flourish *with* GUARANTEES of my income. PLUS, Unca Sammy pay me money to DO it. THIS is INSANE! :(

United States of Canada and scroo "Jesusland" ain't such a bad idea. And HELL, you're on the north side of the "Global test zone" DESPITE the moron who is your Goobernor. And I don't wanna HEAR it about GOOBERS, we gots PATURKEY. 'Nuff said ... heh.

Mr Flip-Flop was all over the map and it is surprising he fooled enough people to come with 3% of winning. Of course, being a typical Democrat politico he ran a good race despite that because he did fool a lot of people.

Olog only wants to discuss Karl Rove as a "shadowy figure". He rejects any deviation from that scenerio.

Where did I say that? Putting words in my mouth again, or just don't know how to read? I believe in free speech, per the First Amendment, so that means you can show me how he's not "shadowy" (how often does he speak in public or get interviewed? is a good question to start from). "Shadowy" does not mean "invisible". Seems like those who advise others to "get a dictionary" are in the direst need of one themselves ;->

The interstate highway system was not built for socialist reasons. It's primary function was to bolster the US auto industry. At the same time it boosted the petroleum industry, rubber industry as well as the industries relying on construction materials and equipment. It seems awfully capitalistic to me.

Nope. If it were truly capitalistic, it would be an all-toll system. Where no tolls are charged, it's supported by taxes. It certainly demonstrates its socialistic properties in the rise of the fortunes of the oil industry and related (synthetic rubber tires, asphalt and concrete construction) industries . . . one could almost call it a welfare system of sorts.

You're being disengenuous again.

Eisenhower's program had nothing resembling that.

I've heard it said on Hannity and Colmes, O'Reilly, Hardball, and C-Span and it is Democrats who have said this when they rounded it out to around $80,000. I've heard Al Sharpton, Ellis Henican, Joe Trippi and others talk about these type of people being rich. You never hear a Republican say anything like this because they know better.

I disagree with Fred on this one. Eisenhower saw the need for such a road network as early as 1919 when it took too long to transport troops around the country on the then existing road net. The autobahns in Germany convinced him of the efficacy of the idea.

The following was borrowed from the Eisenhower Presidential Library site.

" Together, the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear -- United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts." -- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, February 22, 1955

"An inter-state highway system was first considered in the 1930's. President Roosevelt expressed interest in the idea as a way of providing jobs. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1938 directed the chief of the Bureau of Public Roads (precursor to today's Federal Highway Administration) to study the feasibility of a six-route national toll road network. The study did not recommend a national toll road system since the then-existing traffic levels would not support its cost. It further recommended a 26,000-mile non-toll "inter-regional" highway network. In high-traffic areas, it would have two lanes in the same direction and limited- access design. The recommendation essentially asked for a 1930's version of today's Interstate system.

"The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944 created a 40,000-mile "National System of Interstate Highways," but without national importance and no increase in federal funding. Construction of this system began in August 1947, but without increased federal support, many states balked at the idea. Road design standards were not always uniformly applied.

"The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952 authorized funds on a 50/50 state/federal matching level. These were the first funds dedicated to this cause. But even then, the amount ($25 million) was not enough. When President Eisenhower assumed office in 1953, only 6,000 miles had been completed at a cost of $955 million.

" Remembering his 1919 Army trip plus his reaction to how quickly German (and later, Allied) troops could move around that country in World War 2 on the autobahns (built in 1935), Eisenhower pressed for a national highway system. While he wanted such a system, he didn't start it as is commonly believed. What made the idea catch on was his ability to convince people that this was a national, not state, issue. After his transcontinental Army trip he thought a national network of two-lane, paved roads would be sufficient, and in the 1930's that was probably true. That changed after he saw the speed and efficiency offered by the four-lane German autobahns.

"The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, created today's Interstate system and was signed by President Eisenhower on June 29, 1956 in a hospital room without any fanfare. (He was recovering from illness.) The federal government would pay 90% of the cost, because it was realized now that this project was national in scope. It further called for road design standards to accommodate traffic levels forecast for 1975, which was later modified to a 20-year forecast. In 1966, all Interstates were required to be at least four lanes with no at-grade railroad crossings. Existing toll roads could continue as Interstate toll roads provided they met Interstate standards. In 1991, the U.S. Congress finally decided to repay states with toll roads that later became Interstates."

You know as well as I do, or at least I hope you do, that the NSDAP built the great autobans (sic) ostensibly for the purpose of quickly transferring military units from one end of the country . . . to the other end

So did the USA! Ever heard of "defense highways"?

Eisenhower's program had nothing resembling that

See above. And remember that the disadvantages of the Autobahn (to the Nazi regime, when the Allies found that they afforded them easy access to the heart of Germany) can also result in vulnerabilities for the USA . . .

Karl Rove is said to be the politicial brain behind George W's election and re-election. I agree that he is a "shadowy" figure, in the sense that he seldom if ever speaks on TV. All that I have seen are pictures of him striding along beside the President.

This is why the country is so polarized: To the neocons, anybody who isn't a neocon is a liberal.

Good post. My point, however, was misinterpreted. I never doubted the efficiency of having a highway system to facilitate troops in time of national emergency, but we were not planning on using that system for offensive war and conquest of our neighbors. East and West are oceans and we never would use such a system for the invasion of Canada and Latin America. Hitler had it in his plans to conquer as much of Europe as he could because he said so in Mein Kampf.

1. France is the mortal enemy of Germany and must be destroyed.
2. When we National Socialists look for expansion of our nation we look to the heartland East (Poland, the Baltic States, and, of course, the Soviet Union.

Well, ok. Your conditions are much more "liberal" than mine, no pun intended. Believe me, though, If I was hauling in a quarter of million dollars a year I would certainly not consider myself poor.

Okay, but if he was interviewed on those two shows last month does that mean that he is or is not a shadowy figure. If he's interviewed by Al Franken instead of Sean Hannity does that make him even less shadowy? O-Log never explained the libberallies criteria for a shadowy figure.

Thanks for the links, Kevin. Up here in Canada, our official censors (the CRTC) won't allow Fox News to be broadcast, as they think it's biased. Apparently we cannot be trusted to judge for ourselves. Al Jazeera can be broadcast though.

Eisenhower knew that he could not sell the Interstate highway system on the auto lobby's view alone, so the act was pushed though Congress o tne Defense point.

I'm not a liberal, but a moderate (ex-Republican in fact)

ex republican then what are you now?


My agenda is to be anti-PNAC and anti-Neoconservatism (


lol you're the biggest neocon here.

At this point, continuing to hurl "loser" at the anti-Bush platform is simply hurling invective, which is in and of itself indefensible


wiat Olog was anti-bush.
