Our Newest Op Ed

Communism’s victims deserve to be remembered
– By Michael M. Bates

Things aren’t going well for the Republicans. They control the White House and Congress, yet still appear adrift much of the time. Their longtime reputation as the party of fiscal restraint is in serious jeopardy.

President Bush’s approval ratings are headed in the wrong direction. His Social Security offensive is on the defensive. Presidential nominees are held up in the Senate.

A grim scenario indeed for the GOP. They’d be in even more serious trouble if it weren’t for a couple of Democratic leaders who seemingly never weary of demonstrating they’re at least one enchilada short of a combination plate……………

  1. a. she did say that the middle finger was the critical one – the rest can do pretty little without it.
    b. its an unfortunate US coincidence that the middle finger immeditaely brings only a negative thought to the mind. Open it a little and its first what god intended it to be – an irreplaceable part of my hand.
    c. the freedom you so proudly speak of should not preclude a crticial analysis of the country or its current preceived behaviour.
    d. when an argument – esp one emphasizing a single point of view – is made – one does not worry too much about balancing it with the ‘other’ side of the story – which in fact she did to an extent thru the stress on how critical the middle finger is. The point was about its abuse – which you have conveniently assumed as its prime function.
    e. Are you becoming the Soviet Union ?

  2. To answer…

    a.-Her points of how important the middle finger is were absurd. The thumb is a stronger, more important finger. She was just trying to sound like she WASN’T saying what she was REALLY saying.

    b. –It isn’t OUR perception of the middle finger that is the problem. It was HERS. And she purposefully MEANT that interpretation.

    c.- I never said it DID preclude criticism. I similarly indulged in that freedom by criticizing her.

    d. –(yours)”The point was about its abuse – which you have conveniently assumed as its prime function.”

    Once again it is not MY interpretation. It is a direct reading of HER purpose.

    e. –No we are NOT becoming the Soviet Union. We are, however, at the beginning stages of retaking our country back to where it belongs which is AWAY from the Soviet Union style existence that the liberals have been driving us towards since 1934.

    In short, you need to pay more attention.

    Thanks for the message, though. WTH
