It's nice to be back
Where did you go? We need all the help we can get around here!:-)
To: patriciaruth; Ben Ficklin
I'll be happy to read anything you ping me to Patricia. I would consider it an honor that you would flag me to them.
Ben, I would be happy if the LWCF funds were put into the PILT program to pay for what they have already taken. Otherwise, i would be happy if the LWCF funds were zero.
The greenies don't need any more funding from us. They already get more than enough from fedgov and from various unaccountable foundations such as the Ford Foundation, the Turner Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trust, etc...

Where did I go? Well, my DSL router went up in smoke and bein' the po boy that I am, I couldn't afford the cost (close to $300 at the time) to replace it. It also costs a small fortune to get that stuff turned back up once it's down, so I had to wait until I had squirrled away enough to afford something else.
Anyhow, once ATTBI came to this area, I jumped on that as the most affordable alternative. The downside is they won't provide me static routing so I don't have my servers & web site anymore, but at least I have connectivity that works well enough too utilize FR again :-)

Dump Bush in 2004. We don't need "compassionate conservatism" for a massive increase in government control.

"It is safe to say that, for many, including you, Bush will never be what you want. You will even hold him responsible in those situations where he has been politically defeated on an issue. I suspect that you and most of the vocal bashers were, are, and will always be the half percenters."This statement proves what a dishonest ignoramus you are.
I have never been a 'basher,' I only expect for him to be held to the same standard as that to which we held Klinton. - But then most here understand you anyway.

I'm just SOOOOO thankful that we have a conservative in the White House! Thank God we don't have to put up with all of that enviro-wacko crap that we would have had to live with if there were a liberal in the WH. Wooh! I'm so relieved!

It has been over except for the shooting for some time IMO. I just don't know if there are enough of us left to take it back. The sheeple are the largest portion of society. The only comfort I have is that only 15% of the population supported the first American Revolution.

Congress Holds Stacked Hearing on Conservation Tax Credits
[The Nature Conservancy (TNC), whose president Steven J. McCormick, was near the top of the list of invited witnesses, reportedly announced that H.R. 2290, the bill containing the capitol gains tax break, was their "longtime top priority." TNC's director for congressional affairs, Helen Hooper, pointed out that the bill would create an incentive for landowners who cannot afford to donate their lands to sell land or conservation easements to them or the government.Land trusts, who are the middle men for the conservation easement transactions, tout this form of divestiture to partial title to land as a way to avoid burdensome estate taxes, fight urban sprawl, and promote "private conservation," and extend other benefits. Private property activists have created a national controversy about the steamrollering movement by pointing out the great loss of equity to the landowner and the permanent removal of the lion's share of the title to private land to the government sector. (The land trusts commonly flip conservation easements on large tracts to government.) In addition, litigation and personal tragedies are beginning to occur because of the weak portion of title retained by the landowner and the misunderstandings related to this.]

Okay, now I must appologize...I didn't see this post from you. It's good to have you back!! We've had a few leave permanently, as in "no longer with us". I was about to count you among them!

Do remember, Ben, that the Republicans were at one time in our history "1/2%'ers". And that only 17% of the colonists actively supported the Declaration to break from England. Most preferred the "status quo". I think the "status quo" arguement is downright unAmerican.

...the Republicans were at one time in our history "1/2%'ers". The Republican Party was formed in 1854. In 1856, its first presidential candidate, John C. Frémont, took 33% of the popular vote. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States.
