She and that weakling Obama are no match for Putin, and they could be responsible for the end of the world. It might turn out that weakness rather than strength will be apocalyptic.<br /><br />When I was growing up, it was considered immoral for a president to get divorced, even though the media even in the early 1960s was so in love with the Kennedy Brothers, none of them would talk about Marilyn Monroe and all of the other dalliances of both President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, which only came out much later. Also what about a woman who hangs onto the coattails of a serial harasser of females, Bill Clinton, and then asks women to vote for her on the basis of her standing up for women's rights?<br /><br />Do you know how to spell h y p o c r i s y ?<br /><br />Why is it that most of the media don't even mention Hillary Clinton's personal server for emails during her reign as secretary of state or the revocation of her law license during the Watergate hearings, the accusation against her of the Vince Foster murder, or her accepting millions of dollars for her speeches for her foundation from anti-female countries like Saudi Arabia. And what do we say about the millions Congress spent investigating Whitewater?<br /><br />Have we ever elected a president who was being investigated by the FBI? It makes me lose all faith in this country.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-18497873680946505102016-04-17T18:19:13.598-04:002016-04-17T18:19:13.598-04:00I decide what is and is not acceptable, not you.

Its not too late, you can still try out Cuba and Venezuela, the last remnants of pure socialism left, you better get to Venezuela quick and take along some toilet paper. You will have a little longer to visit Cuba because Obama is bailing it out so it doesn't collapse. It would be great reading, let us all know how things are there, please spend at least a few months so you can soak up enough socialist thought and learn about the dictatorship of the proletariat.

With the draft, college bound students were delayed two years. No big deal. Both college bound and those not college bound would have learned discipline, working with others, learned how to live together, and gotten a lesson on other ethenic customs. When they came out, they would be better citizens and not expect free handouts. Today college students are now protesting for free college. Give me a break. A majority of todays college students know nothing about life expect give me, give me, give me. <br />I do believe that college tutitions are out of sight for most students, but if they find a job to get them through college instead of expecting society to pay their way, we would have more compassion and less greed from those who make it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-13327102122996433332016-04-17T06:55:46.711-04:002016-04-17T06:55:46.711-04:00Doc Roc -

Hard to believe it's not being put on "hold," maybe even eliminated for future projects. Our state tax revenue stream has lost a great amount of money already from where it was before the NIZ program was introduced. It is millions upon millions of dollars in the red and will probably remain there for at least another decade. Probably longer.<br /><br />Fred WindishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-67556367338569784992016-04-17T06:43:00.601-04:002016-04-17T06:43:00.601-04:00Every down-ballot Republican candidate needs to te...Every down-ballot Republican candidate needs to tell his/her party bosses to do a better job hiding all the delegate selection shenanigans going on. More people are waking up by the day, and they aren't pleased by what they see.<br /><br />I have never seen such energy behind a Republican candidate like I am seeing for Trump. Massive crowds, many cross-over voters, etc. No other potential Republican nominee is even close in their own potential to win in November. Assuming, of course, that actually WINNING November is the objective. Not sure it is.<br /><br />It's still a little early, but there is so much fervor over Trump, if it appears the nomination was "taken" from him, the Republican Party will lose both the House and Senate within 2 years. The Republican Party and its candidates will quickly go down in flames. <br /><br />Get on the phone, Pat Toomey.<br /><br />Fred WindishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-13654440301198696152016-04-17T04:53:17.351-04:002016-04-17T04:53:17.351-04:00"Hillary puts on 10 pounds."

Government either facilitates the creation of wealth, or, government facilitates the destruction of wealth.<br /><br />You don't have to look very far. Just take the NIZ - a concept wholly-owned by politicians who think they have a done great thing. Really? The NIZ has made a very small number of people much more wealthy by transferring that wealth mainly from much less well-off folks (the rest of us). The NIZ, my friends, is not capitalism. It is government picking winners and losers.<br /><br />If you believe the American capitalist system is so bad, why aren't people migrating to Cuba? Or, Venezuela? Or, Vietnam? Or, India?<br /><br />Capitalism is the worst economic system ever created.

But Dave, I'd drop the "pant suits" references if I were you. You make your points very well without that sort of thing. <br /><br />Incidentally, a journalist who traveled with Clinton during her days as Sec'y of State was Terry Gross' guest on Fresh Sir yesterday. She has written a book claiming that when Hillary traveled, as soon as she left US airspace, she became a different person. She was warm, had an infectious laugh, got along very well with foreign reporters and leaders. This story took me by surprise, and I going to look into it. I refuse to read these kinds of books about current events as a rule bc the author is always have an agenda, but this gives me pause. Up until now, I never much cared for Hillary as a person. But I and many of us may have misjudged her. I also believe Hillary was a terrible Secretary of State. But after listening to this reporter, I know I'vebeen unfair and need to do more research. I always benefit when I spend less time talking and more time reading and listening to everyone, including Fred (he's a great guy though we disagree), you, Ray Nemeth, Scott, Rich Fegley and many others.
