I may have to introduce you to my adult daughter. She's one nugde away from becoming a Republican, even tho she exists in a sea of Democrats.

[b4its2late]

I'll second that!

[AAABEST]

As a rant aficionado, I'd say it was a pretty good one. Nice texture and aftertaste, could use a little bit more aging for depth and/or full bodiness.

I'd give it an 8 on a scale of 1- 10, Add half a point if woke up in a bad mood today.

I noticed your link on the threads I was perusing. I finally bit, and I am glad I did. Great piece, well written, and I agree with it one hundred percent.

"California failed because the so called leaders attempted to stay in power by bribing special interest groups. You see this same problem on a smaller scale all around the country in each state. The more liberalism that is inserted, the more misery and failure you see."

Great rant!

The government should focus on delivering the mail, securing the borders

.. and until they can get both of those consistently right, we shouldn't put a whole lot more on their plate.

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.--Samuel Adams

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
--Samuel Adams

We need people to go on daily rants of the type that Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams did. They not only talked liberty, they preached it. I believe that the natural condition of man is not freedom, but slavery. Freedom is the preferable condition but not one which, over time, people will choose. At the first opportunity men will usually sell themselves into slavery for for security and comfort. They are like cattle. Cows used to be wild animals, but became tamed in exchange for the certainty of food on a daily basis and protection from preditors. All that had to be exchanged for this was giving up one of their own from time to time to be eaten by their keepers. It takes freedom loving men setting "the brush fires in people's minds" on a daily basis to force people to think about what is in their own interest.

Rant on.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

I shared Nixon's defensive attitude toward the liberal media then just as I scrutinize the mainstream media today. There is no question that they hated Richard Nixon then and will always despise the man.

I apologize for giving the impression that I listened to tapes that you did not. I was commenting from the observations of those who had listened to the tapes and were sorry to see Nixon go. (They may have had the agenda you suggest, sorry at the time I did not have the perspective to question presented data.) The observations were that Nixon used very salty language and referred to people with contempt. (Not hard to believe, hence my comment that taping oneself is not a good idea).

You are correct in having contempt for the liberal media and their presentation today about Bush speaks volumes about how they treated Nixon at that time. Please allow me to withdraw any criticism of Nixon, (my parents were active supporters of his campaign). I was young and far too unwise to comment as I did.

It wasn't so much a rant but a sincere statement of conservative principles. What a great mind that speaks such truths.
