As for me- I like to focus on and champion for three things:


Truth.

Justice.

and The American Way.



(And yes, CB, I am a believer, so His reach even extends to the left. Do you find that hard to believe?)

Well James,

We both focus on the 3 same things, it's just I believe our views of the American Way differ or how to obtain them. And at times, yes I do, because so many on the left just love to ridicule. Just look at Ms. California and the abuse she took for expressing her POV on gay marriage, first for having such a view and second for even having the audacity to express it. So much for the left's freedom of speech or maybe freedom of POV's. Everything is shades of gray to the left, for example, there is no evil, just a bad childhood. Always some extenuating circumstance. There is good and evil, right and wrong, sacred and profane, but the left always tries to obfuscate the obvious, regardlesss of how much evidence keeps appearig almost daily now.

But I don't like to discuss religion, since, like politics, very little gets changed and sometimes discussion is so, tiring, for lack of a better word. bHo is overstepping his constitutional rights, but the left see's no problem while the right does, latest example is now he's an Ad agency expert and halved Chryslers ad budget. I know ya'll say they took funds, so he can do what he want's, then I feel that people who take fed loans for education should repay them or have their wages garnished, but that will never happen.

I'm going to do my best to refrain from any politcal comments in the future, since it's pretty fruitless and just try to get a handle on the market, since this is what this message boards main purpose is.

There is a handful of folks here, that I value there opinion on the market and will continue to read and follow there posts, but will do my best to refrain from future discussions on bHo, since you've either drunk the kool-aid or you haven't, socialist or capitialist, constitutionalist or buffet constitutionalist.

I'm not giving up, by any means, just tired of replowing the same old ground everyday. You either like the direction this government is being taken or you don't. I don't and am passionate about it, but I'm fed up with the hipocrasy being expressed and condoned (and another caveat, Bush lost me at the start of his second term) so don't label me a damn republican.

Enjoy your day,
CB

Agreed. Totally.

....., then I feel that people who take fed loans for education should repay them or have their wages garnished, but that will never happen.

Federal Student Loans.....yes, anyone who takes student loans already DOES have to repay, or have their wages garnished.

Here is the procedure to have wages garnished for failing to pay back a federal student loan:

As for Chrysler's ad budget- Not sure on that one. I would have to learn more about it. Where did you find that information?

(Although I also believe that any corporation taking government taxpayer money should not be using that same money to lobby Congress or an administration official- that ought to be illegal, in my opinion. )
