Was Aaron in Seattle purchasing street smack or whatever they call it. I really didn't know anyone that used drugs but me thinks Aaron is on something. Oh it's ok. Aaron's a free spirit, living life in the haze of (whatever that stuff is) few worries, like a delicate flower growing on a (union job site).  | ||||

Ok Arron.... fish on  , I think for myself, I dont really care what others think. But I havent liked a president since Regan. Facts are facts that Regan turned this country around from double diget unemployment, and interest rates, and put millions of people back to work and allowed this country to work toward its way out of debt. Regan also crushed the Soviet Union with nothing more than a threat. (Star Wars) a design that was never to be built nor implemented. They just fed our media the idea and cost and they did all the work. He knew that the media would lie and spout all kinds of crap and start a (as Paul would say) poop storm, and all they had to do is continue with the charade. Hence bankrupting the Soviet Union. Thus ending the cold war, and the Berlin wall to collapse. Without fireing a shot. Even the liberals had to admit he was a good President....never has their been a President that did so much in such a short time that brought or country back from the brink of a depression. He did this by lowering taxes, small business incentives, loosening government regulations, and letting the American people enjoy the feedom that made this country the great place that it is. Now you can answer this with the liberal BS lines or you can look it up for yourself, read about his history as President and get the facts stright. Its funny how they bashed him when he was in office and praised him after he passed away. Its a game, nothing more....so dont group me in some type of neo-con, Republican, one minded think tank. I dont like this president because he is a puppet that follows a strick line of stupidity. We have been down this road before and it lead to disaster (Carter). I base my thinking on what has worked in the past and how it can be used in the future. And the more you try to control the workings of the free, the more you screw it up. I'll buy ya a beer...whiskey... at PA.  | |||

No fishing here, just trying to be funny. And no Ted, I am not partaking of the wild wood weed, or any synthetics for that matter. As for Reagan, well here is my take on him. He may have been a great actor, but a great President he was not. One of his first tasks after he was inaugerated was to break the air traffic controllers union. This ten year old (at the time) even knew that was wrong. Reagan was a great face man, and the RNC marketed him brilliantly. That's it. As for the whisky, well, I'll pass but you can buy me a beer down at Portland. Maybe we'll be lucky to be neighbors again. It was good talking to you over in Spokane! | |||

Aaron you better read a few history books about Regan. Or just read any book about the man. He was an amaizing American. It's too bad you are unwilling to recognizes this fact. | ||||
|

I never said anything about his Patriotism. Contrary to what Hannity might tell you guys, being a Republican is no guarantee that you are an amazing American. I dis-agree (now) with the policies he had (then). Heck, I was just 10 years old you know. You guys might have a better idea about Reagan though, you guys were what, in your 40's when he was Prez??? Now that one might be a lure....  Just my .02 is all. | |||

Maaan I thought you going to PA this weekend...ok well I'll buy ya a beer in Portland.. | |||

I'll make sure to have some in the fridge for payback too. | |||

Aaron I have to say most people liberal or conservative have one opinion when it comes to Reagan, And that is positive.. He is why Clinton (the do every one president) looked so good. Economics take time and Clinton road Reagan's econmic wave all the way to the shore then landed on his face and was lucky to get out of the presidency without being impeached for lying to a grand jury. Clinton is the sole reason we were attacked Sept 11 2001 do to his dismantling of our armed forces. Our lack of intelligence and his inaction when he new of the threat that Bin laden posed.. But did nothing.. Liberals live in the world of sound bits.. if it sounds nice then do it, if it sounds bad then it must be bad. They do not study or research the issue, they want change, but had no idea that he ment a move to socialism. It is damn funny to all the Obama supports, they were all humgry for change but he never told you what he was going to change.. he just kept saying "change" dont you think the logical question would of been... OK what are you going to change? But Hell no.. Most people that I have talked to, that voted for him have zero idea what he ran on, what he was going to change or how he was going to do it.. Now our country is being run by a guy that in this job market couldn't get a job as a GM of any major company.. Nice job Democrats and liberals... That is some change to proud of!! Ok sorry this is a LOT longer then I planned.. Long day at work..This message has been edited. Last edited by: Scot 284, | ||||

sounds good! PA is going to be fun though... | |||

You couldn't be more correct regarding sound bites in our society. But don't be mistaken, they are not just effective on the left. Everything from Fox News to Spongebob is tailored around the Americans' short attention span theatre. If an explanation takes longer than a commercial, its too complicated. Have you been around a teenager lately? Can they have a normal dinner time conversation? More than 10 seconds of silence and they are looking down at their lap texting someone. As for Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Bush again, it goes on and on. The right says that Reagan was hosed by Carter, gave a free ride to Clinton, and Bush had to clean it all up. For the lefties, Carter established Civil rights, Habitat for Humanity, and railed against racism, Reagan broke working class America by assuring them that everything in their dreams would trickle down, Clinton sparked the middle class (while really selling us down the river on the USS NAFTA, even I will admit that) and Bush 1 just went to war to get his ratings up. Wonder where Dubya thought that might work. Seems all repubs go to war. Why? Simply, it works. My point is that most will only see the side they are rooting for. Very few are willing to admit that the middle (moderate) is where we all need to be, not at extremes. (right or left) One of these days everyone on this board might realize that we are all probably a little more center of left or right, we just like jabbing at each other. As for asking those who voted for President Obama what their reasons were, I would hope you would sample those other than MXers. Hate to admit it but most are more worried about next years EFI or whether there will be factory one off suspension than world affairs, economic concerns, or God forbid making a livable wage for their families. Oh, and I support EFCA in case you wonder why I voted for him.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Aaron, | |||

hahaha, DO IT!!! Come out of retirement at Portland. Oh yeah, I emailed the guy regarding my MXPPA stickers, hoping to have them by Portland. As for political affiliation, I have always leaned a little left, but never became a full on liberal until I started arguing with Ted!!! He makes it easy I guess. It's kind of like saying something that you know will piss your dad off, not because you believe it so much, just because of the response it will get. | |||

You got to admit it Ted that some funny stuff right there!!! Laughing....... Great! im looking forward to my sticker!! still laughing........ Yea maybe I will do practice at PA and see if I can still ride lolol. | |||

Call me a radical, but I disagree This whole idea of right/left is garbage, what it comes down to is individualism and the fight against it. You would classify me as a "right-winger" because I happen to agree with a lot of what the republican or liberatarian parties preach (practice is another issue). I classify myself as an individualist both politically and philisophically. I believe that individualism, free thought and implementation thereof always will come forth with a better solution than being limited by some other factor. I look at life and make decisions based on how I can better myself as an individual, with no need for help from others. Everything that the neo-liberal/progressive/socialist movement stands for limits the individual, some people such as you view that as a good thing because you have been brainwashed into thinking that some sort of collectivism is the only way to solve problems, though collectivism has never solved one problem ever. | |||

I was waiting for this post, saw you lurking for some time and knew it would be a good one. As for your point addressing mine, read what Mark and I have been discussing before you post next time. Oh wait. You're not just saying all of this stuff to get me worked up are you???? | |||
|

Well Justin you can say all you want about left and right being garbage but, when you immediately turn around and say that you agree with most right sided views doesnt that make you right handed. Thats like saying I bat right handed, throw right handed but really I am ambidextrous! Come on brotha just admit it, your a right winger! And why so many insults, relax people we are not talking about flaggers here! | |||
