Joe The Plumber Can "Spread The Wealth Around" Just Fine clipped by: merrie clippers remarks: Kennedy understood all this, either consciously or intuitively. But he was the last Democrat to so understand. Lyndon Johnson, who moved into the Oval Office after Dallas, never did get it. Instead, he instituted a gunsand-butter policy (escalating the Vietnam War at the same time he announced the Great Society, a welfare-based attack on America at a cost of billions), and the results were devastating. His only lasting contribution to the public good was the successful passage of historic Civil Rights legislation. That wouldnt have been possible without the support of Republicans in Congress. Ronald Reagan did, and lowered taxes because of his understanding. And so did George W. Bush, leading to the boom which ended only because liberals in Congress - Barney Frank and Chris Dodd most significantly - colluded with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to push for subprime mortgages, and we all know what happened when the recipients of such largesse couldnt afford the payments.

The American president whose policy proved that theory was John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who massively reduced taxes during his first year in office, the direct result of which was a rapid increase in government revenues. Why did this happen? Because business boomed following the tax cuts; consumers consumed more, businesses produced more and increased wages and salaries, the ranks of the employed grew, and government coffers were the great beneficiary of this widespread prosperity.

Interventionism, Not Muslims, Is the Problem clipped by: thisnamecantbetaken clippers remarks: Thus, rather than ceasing its policy of interventionism after 9/11, which is what the U.S. government should have done even while pursuing the perpetrators through criminal-justice means, it did the very worst thing possible ? it continued and even expanded its policy of interventionism in the hope of killing those whose differences with America?s values had risen to the level of rage as a result of U.S. interventionism. Not surprisingly, that only fueled more anger and rage. So, what should the U.S. government do now? It should do what it should have done after 9/11: Exit Afghanistan and Iraq and the entire Middle East. Bring all the troops home. Everyone seems to know this, but America. I read a lot of hate against Muslims on CM and I find that highly troubling. Its a crock. Muslims DONT hate us, they are NOT the enemy and if the US just left other countries alone, the "War on Terror" would be over. Dont buy into it.. Bring the troops home. Clip Source: www.informationclearinghouse.info Interventionism, Not Muslims, Is the Problem One of the popular post-9/11 sentiments has been the one that holds that Muslims are bent on conquering the world. The notion is that Muslims hate Christianity and Western freedom and values and that such hatred is rooted in the Koran and stretches back centuries. That?s why U.S. forces are in Iraq and Afghanistan, the argument goes During the Cold War, people used to say the same thing about the communists that we?re now hearing about the Muslims. With a military loss in Vietnam, the dominoes would start falling, they told us yet the dominoes didn?t fall. throughout the Cold War there was nary a mention of the Islamic threat It?s true that Muslims have fundamental differences with Christians and the West, and vice versa. But those types of differences ordinarily do not cause people to kill people who have different values. As a result of U.S. interventionism anger and rage induced some people to seek vengeance through violence. zum Artikel...
