^ Cut and pastes can be helpful, but they do get boring.

I want to hear you angle just as much, and actually more.

How you agree or disagree about a particular article.

and of course state your reasons, why.

I wouldn't want to bore you with the ramblings of a lowly enlisted man subjected to brainwashed symbolisms and jingoisms after 27 years of propoganda.

^ A person's rank, and job, is unimportant to me.

A person's ideas and integrity, are.

You make a habit if being incongruent sometimes with your conflicting statements.

All you have to do is look at your comments right in this thread in the last 10 posts. First you categorize a comment identifying a specific category (enlisted) ... and then you say you don't care about rank.

(Hasn't taken us long to get right back to where we were before we were ignoring each other)

I just read my last 10 posts in this thread.

I do not see what you are referring to. I don't even see references to rank.

stroller · 20-06-2006, 01:15 PM

It may be hard for you to understand, SK, but outside the military people don't equate someone's rank and job with the validity of their ideas nor their integrity.

storekeeper reminds me of JonhL, but at least SK doesn't pretend to be anything more than he is. You have to at least give him that.

Cobby34 · 20-06-2006, 07:52 PM

The US super power like all super powers in history (The Greeks,Romans,British Empire) is certain to fall.A huge trade deficit,housing bubble ready to go pop,a very expensive war in Iraq.Ford,GM all losing lots money.And what happens if the Chinese decide to start putting their money somewhere else.I'm not saying The US is going to become a third world country,but the days of being the worlds super power are numbered.

I am sure you are not a desperate cause. One day you will see the light and find out that you have been supporting the wrong team all along.

I am not going soft on you, look above ^

It's A Tough Job, But Bush Has Done It

Great piece from Rich Lowry over at National Review.

Who says you can’t cut taxes, increase spending, and reduce the federal budget deficit all at the same time? That’s what the Bush administration has managed to do. Two decades after then-presidential candidate George H.W. Bush characterized Ronald Reagan’s idea that tax cuts would spur revenue-generating economic growth as “voodoo economics,” the witch doctor is again at work.
When President Bush pledged in 2004 to cut the deficit in half by 2009, critics guffawed. The Boston Globe headlined a story, “Bush’s plan to halve federal deficit seen as unlikely; higher spending, lower taxes don’t mix, analysts say.” “Fanciful,” “laughable” and “all spin,” said the critics.
Well, it turns out that 2009 might be coming early this year. The 2004 deficit had been projected to hit $521 billion, or 4.5 percent of gross domestic product. Bush’s goal was to cut it to 2.25 percent of GDP by 2009—not exactly as stirring a national goal as putting a man on the moon, but one that was nonetheless pronounced unattainable. This year, the deficit could go as low as $300 billion, right around the 2009 goal of 2.5 percent of GDP.

Meanwhile all this has been done while fighting a global war on terror... Democrats, on the other hand, can't even come up with a real plan, agree on Iraq, or on the economy.

Storekeeper,

Please enroll in Acounting 101.

You are making a fool of yourself. Dump the short-term projections.

It's the mid and long-term, baby.

Well, he claims to be an 'officer', but I don't think the US navy would allow people so obviously lacking education and common courtesy to join their ranks.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Too bad DD didn't require people to be a little more educated before making them moderators. Also, Everybdoy knows I'm enlisted it seems except you. I'm a Master Chief which is an enlisted man. Quit making shit up as you go.

I believe it was an American spaceship which first made us aware of your race's existence. Your species does seem most argumentative, however. Might we expect it's demise in the near future?

Butterfly · 05-07-2006, 07:02 PM

Get your news from a real source, sailorboy. It's not rosy out there. Maybe it is in your ship with all those sailors.
