Regardless of WMD in Iraq [i honestly think they were moved to Syria] I was proud to have Powell as SoS. Crisp, no nonsense attitude, very professional, some one you knew you could count a handshake on as iron clad. Clinton?
Not at all. She was Governor of the state I live in [i voted for her] but she's gone, history. I could care less about Palin but find it amazing how worked up liberals can get over a failed VP candidate from 4 years ago. Maybe I should work HHH remarks into every thread.
Very true IMO. Secretary of state is our face to the world, and maybe the most important Presidential appointment. We need the best, not to make a political decision to appease the voters that voted for Clinton in the primary's.
Those seem clear cut issues with black and white answers. Again where are we falling behind? Science? Technology? You are living in a fantasy world. And I could care less if the average Norwegian spends 12.6 years in school vs US 12.2
I lived in Saranac lake when I was in grade school in the 60's. Every one but me was 5th generation. "What's your name?" "Moody" "What's the name of that hill over there?" "Moody"
No. you over analyze things. I grew up Polish near Buffalo and heard all the pollock light bulb joke's. And my grandparents's living in Buffalo at the turn of the century and well beyond suffered real hardship and hate because they where Polish. Do I think about it, fuss over it? No. That was then, this is now.
Good Lord, many people call racism because they have no real argument of fact but that has something to do with some pendulum in society? I see you had a fine education at Cornell.
They really seem obsessed about calling racism on the football forum. When Vick was on the market you could give 100 reason's why you didn't want him on the Bill's and someone would boil it down to "you're just racist." "Oh and Wilson's a racist to for not getting him."
It's a feel good, look how enlightened I am thing. And really they just come across as mindless parrots.
