Honest Abe

Spin it anyway you like....it doesnt change the outcome!!!

Anyone who was around from the mid 1980s-mid 1990s watched how WOS dominated EVERYONE in the area. They became the gold standard under Dan Hooks. Very much like Pa Lincoln in basketball. Many of you youngsters don't remember that WOS was a 5A school for much of that time, then dropped to 4A, then 3A (new 4A).
I remember one year that we (Nederland) ONLY lost 28-7 to WOS. I say ONLY bc WOS was beating everyone 40, 50-0.
It seems that ever since, WOS has been the measuring stick for everyone.

My guess is that, if he runs, the left will find something in his past.  Perhaps a patient who may have died on the operating table ( who had little hope of surviving anyway).  Dr. Carson will be "painted" as somehow incompetent and without compassion.  This scenario would only come to pass if the left can't find a woman who , for a "small sum", is willing to contend that she was groped by Dr. Carson and was subjected to "suggestive" remarks.

Well heck, I guess that makes him a good president then. His poll numbers should go up drastically if he said "shake dem haters off"! I know I am ready to bow down and name him king now!! What a powerful platform he has. Lie, act like nothing is happening, and then come out with powerful ideas like this. Wow, what a leader!!

I agree with that.
 
Nothing worth getting is usually easy though. Times are getting better! Instead of complaining about the past (that we cannot fix no matter how much we would like to), we need to focus on the future.
 
And thank you PAMFAM for being able to have a calm and real discussion!

You simply have swallowed the party line without examining the facts and coming to your own conclusion.  First- A subsidy is a money provided by the government for the purpose of promoting something such as solar energy.  Therefore, the oil companies do not receive subsidies.  Additionally, the oil companies have available to them the same tax deductions that every other corporation in the country has access to.  When you understand the difference between a subsidy and a tax deduction, you will be better equipped to then cry and bemoan the deductions that the oil companies take.  All are lawful and were passed by the government.  Once again, you should be very pleased that the oil companies make significant profits.  Of course, what you don't consider is that they also take significant risks but that doesn't matter to you.  When British Petroleum caused all that damage in the gulf last year, they were able to be financially responsible for everything without needing a government/taxpayer funded bailout and a bankruptcy.  Thus they are still employing thousands of people who pay a lot of taxes based on their income.  If they had not earned significant profits over the years, they would have gone under, thousands of people would have been added to the unemployment roles, and government tax revenues would have declined due to the lost jobs and the taxes paid by British Petroleum.  If and when that would have taken place, the government would need more money and would cry out (with your full support) that some other industry and some group of individuals weren't paying their fair share-  It never ends

Then how do you know they are "full of crap"?  Watch the video- it is merely a collection of clips from Mr. Obama speaking on various occasions.

Perk was born in Nederland. When he first entered the league, it said he was from Nederland. It always gave me a chuckle.
Answering the question from BH regarding PA players, did you forget Jamal Charles is from PA?

Who says...you think the only way to help anyone is through gov?

The bible does not say "steal from the rich to give to the poor", which is the liberal doctrine.

No confusion here...I am not happy with Democrats or Republicans, but Republicans are a whole lot closer to my views than Democrats so that's how I vote.
 
If a Democrat was running for President that was pro-second amendment, pro- small gov, pro-lower taxes, pro-military...I would vote for them.
 
I do like the sir thing...keep it up.  :)

Yep, big old bad old truth telling Fox News. Is that all you got? No rebuttal to anything she said? Wow, a brain-washed liberal. Imagine that.

One only pleads the "fifth" when one has got something to hide!

WRONG.....
 
It was $4.75 in 1996,  then $5.15 in 1997, Then $5.85 in 2007,  then $6.55 in 2008, THEN $7.25 in 2009
 
but facts never really stood in your way of you trying to make a point

Google it
 
I know this might be a new concept for you, but instead of just throwing your opinion out, or getting other people to do your research......why don't you do it yourself.....
 
Maybe even throw in a link to support your argument......If you did that, we MIGHT even take you serious

BigGirl -- show me anywhere where Paul Krugman has said anything good about conservative policies.  Krugman is a commie-pinko extraordinaire!  I thought you were against biased stuff?!   ;)

If there were no "contributions" in the last two elections, what effect would it have had on the outcome? So we need more in the middle class? Ok- Do we try to lift some of the lower class up to the middle class or do we tax the upper class until they become part of the middle class?  We have more programs aimed at helping the lower class than we have ever had and it is proof that throwing more money at it is not the answer.

I don't think all whites are racist or
all Republicans. Racism will always exist but to me the biggest problem is the Republican and democratic party.

And why shouldn't they be? 
 
Wow, the Republicans would be against anyone that is against Obama. Stunning right?
 
But you make the point very well. It is politics that drives the masses, not race. What Dr. Carson would do if he supported Obama would give the Democrats another chance to scream that race is driving the disagreements..... but as we have seen, that is not the case. You use the term "any blacks" like the Republicans only support anti-Obama people if they are a dark skin color. It is a simple truth that the Republicans have a strong dislike for Obama but they even impeached Clinton. Does that strong dislike count or only when it is a different race? 
 
You might not have noticed it but the Republicans aren't very fond of white people that support Obama either. It doesn't matter how much melanin is in their skin but where they stand politically. 

I disagree with most of this......and I'm sure he would to.
 
He got to where he is with hard work and good grades.....and the fact he is a smart smart man......
 
Question.....do you really think affirmative action means much to a true racist?

Of course you dont want him to succeed.  He believes that ultimately, one lifts HIMSELF/HERSELF out of adversity and dedicates his/her time and efforts to bettering himself/herself rather than lamenting about his/her situation and how unfair it is.  Nobody is saying that the poor shouldnt be helped.  What they are saying is that we need a system that encourages the poor to get themselves out of their circumstances rather than making them believe there is a certain "nobility" to their circumstances and there is no limit to the amount of time that they can remain on govt assistance.

No...my definition of a successful news station is the one that has the best ratings.

How do you define success...lowest ratings?

Sorry- In retrospect, perhaps he wasn't the best choice at the time.  All the Hope. change, transparency, etc etc was pure unadulterated BS.
