don't we all dislike ignorance. Your post said that the problems in this county were due to democrats. The Democrats have advocated many policies that have done harm to rural areas, but Republicans have done exactly the same. The source of this county's problems the article says is a depressed lumber industry. While George HW Bush was president the federal government made an arbitrary decision that the spotted owl needed to be protected and that much of the lumber harvesting business in the northwest must shut down as a result. There's never been any evidence that the spotted owl is endangered and there's never been any evidence that shutting down these lumber operations would help them. The federal government's own research shows this clearly. The reality is that a republican administration simply made a ruling that was very hostile to the rural northwest. So, it is not really accurate to blame this on democrats, it is the republicans who it seems are more to blame here.

If George w bush wants to un-do the harm done by george hw bush, then he can do so, but it seems that he's committed to a certain amount of rural cleansing to me as a part of the new world order efforts.

Nice to see somebody keeping his facts straight instead of blathering popular wisdoms. Poppa Bush it was, then Clinton extended the spotted owl gambit across the entire West. Whether it was an NWO subsidy to the offshore timber business or whether it was mere political gutlessness before the fascists serving the UN/NWO doesn't matter.

You're right, and the cutting off of irrigation water to patriotic American farmers VS bottom feeding sucker fish is a good example of it.

And, while we're on the subject of saintly Republicans. It was REPUBLICANS that pushed for, then passed a grossly flawed energy "deregulation" bill in California causing the energy mess we're in...AND, it was "read my lips", "new world order" GHW Bush that gave us the ADA...AND, it was Republican president Nixon that gave us the EPA and other alphabet soup bureaucracies, not to mention wage and price controls, mandatory 55 MPH speed limits etc....

When voting Democrat or Republican, be careful what you wish for......
