"To Generalize is to be an idiot." -Sir William Blake.
Gone are the days of Gore Vidal(Liberal) and Robert Nisbet(Pillar of American Conservatism). Of course I find it funny that Democrats are turning on their Uncle Tom(Ralph Nader's words) Barack Obama in record speed. While the Republicans stood steadily at the side of their Social Conservative turned Conservative Socialist George W. Bush.

I don't remember the Democrats every being the party the rallied and held together.
Although the idea that politics are Left and Right is an inaccurate relic that derives from where assembly sat after the French Revolution, in your idea of what politics is I sit comfortably to the right of you. It's obvious you don't actually read American History.
As to the gentleman mentioning the unorganized territories, I was thinking of our organized official territories: Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and our part of the Mariana Islands.

Hot_Single_Dude: Maybe those older people concidering enrgy improvment and making as much money as possible no matter what are going to loose some of their influence because it is not wise at all keep being depended on dictatroships in the middle east and else where for ever and majority of americans maybe will be more willing to make the politicians using more of american wealth on the people of the country instead of burning it out in endless wars because of the need for fuel. I know a bout the issue you name in here Alex regarding how some companies stopping other companies to make energy improvments in America and I know it from builder business as a matter of fact. when I heard a bout this I could not beleive it but it happened and still happens all over the country and it is time for change regarding that matter as well. Those who tried to stop energy improvments are truely serious and very powerful as well as a matter of fact... if the guys told not to the money... then some contracts disapeard and as a matter of fact some necessary deleveries were stopped and a lot other problems as well which really pressured the builders company to do exactly as the other guys in suits ordered them to and not using a certain kind of window or using thinner isolation and a certain brand of air condition and so on
You're making less and less Sense,Dude! Ran out of Talking Points? Not that you ever had any,but it is getting really threadbare now!
Hot_Single_Dude: Calling me a dudd and thinking I have prejudice a gaisnt Palin and you are your self a true hater but not talking loudly a bout it. I know your kind mister...
If I think Sarah Palin is a stupid and irresponsible lier and dangerous as well... it does not mean having prejudice or some thing... dudd
Since we got into the liar, liar pant on fire debate.
Guess who is calling President Obama a liar?
Dude's friends 90 miles south of Miami. The Cubans are calling President Obama's Coopenhaggen backroom deals, and political posturing for Climate control...deceptive and lies. That he is doing this to keep 3rd world countries from sustaining economic growth.
I remember a time....in the not so distant past...when Cubans were in Africa, Central America, and South America with thier own economic growth programs.....(e.g. sales of ak-47 and RPGs)...to the locals.
Time to take another vacation to Cuba? Dude. It could not hurt, since your were in Coopenhaggen at the time of Obama 48 hour appearance in the 2 week event. You can set them straight on how....they got it all wrong....and how President Obama really wants to help 3rd countries...by the $30b for climate control.
Oh you mean that $30b is not going to 3rd world countries. As Mike Derben explains....the $30b is an overseas investment opportunity....and like all investments their is quid pro cou....something is given back. Cuba and the other 3rd world countries did not like this quid pro cou concept. In other words, they wanted the US to pick up the entire bill on Climate Control. Not cost share it.
Basically they did not like the Coopenhaggen deal that was cut....so now President Obama is a lair. How many lies can one tell in 48 hours?
I think it's perfectly reasonable that people keep up with America Politics:
1- With the enactment of the Bretton Woods Act, the USA arranged an agreement wherein the US Dollar became the Reserve Currency of the world. That alone makes America's Central Banking Policies and Politics in general of grave financial interest to the world.
2- The USA currently maintains an empire of 4 territories and over 700 bases in over 130 countries. Denmark doesn't have troops stationed in Canada or Mexico, or do they?
3- The USA openly confesses to underwriting Global Security. It is attempting to essentially create the most basic of Government Services to the world. There is an interesting book called, "The Case for Goliath" that discusses this point at length.
Lastly, this was once America, land of the Free. The idea that anyone exercises free speech is imposing would be next to heresy. Remember that our inalienable rights are not based on our nation of origin, but our birth into this world endowed by our creator as natural as our hands.L
You mean when the US unilaterally went off the Gold-Standard?
TheresMyFriend: You should have seen the ones he told during his election campaign!
Now that was a record number of lies!
JMO
Now ThereMyFriend, you know ......it was the heat of the campaign that caused all those stretches of the truth....and errors in judgement.....and misgivings about the accuracy.....and desire for honesty gone wrong.....and other mispoken words.
One cannot blame President Obama for them. It was the liberal and bias press....his policital surrogates....his supporters.....they all just got caught up in the historical moment.....that had Chris Wallace (of Hard Ball) shaking in his pant leg.

Soon there will be more riding under and being dragged along behind....than are inside Conrad. If you don't make the Obama's creditability standard you are a cooked goose, a dead duck, or other deceased water foul.
Returning to the Cuban thingee for a moment. Think that President Obama is giving away Cuban cigars as Christmas presents this year? I bet the White House just placed a 'no smoking Cuban cigars' signs up all over the place. With this Cuban PR attack. Poor old Joe Biden....I bet he likes Cuban cigars at times.
Sorry Joe, no smoking em, if you got em this year.

It is bad for their health Conrad. Smoking all those cigs and cigars....takes years off a person's life. Forces up the cost of the countries health care.
Am beginning to understand why they want health care so badly. You live a life style that is destructive....drinking that aged KY Whiskey, smoking a good Cuban daily, over eating on the those 1000 dollar plate diners, etc, etc,etc....you realize you need health care at the end. Not just you, but your family.
Heck you don't want to pay for your excesses during your lifetime. So? Make a nation wide health care bill.....tuck yourself and family into a special exempted status term....like 'no pre existing conditions' to qualify. And you got your medical coverage for all those destructive habits covered. At least in 2015 after you are out of office, you will.
Till then....of course....1000s of American....not understanding the delay in the coverage.....will die without coverage, as they pay for your coverage. But you got your young family covered, and that is all that matters.
