Weiner is a modern human being (by Alec Baldwin)

We are all going to be @#$% minorities

"Republicans are demanding spending cuts that would equal the total increase in the debt limit."

Butt if Republicans will not do away with 1.) Bush tax cuts 2.) Fix the corporate tax to a flat percent 3.) take out farm, oil, and other @#$% subsidies.

We are just @#$%

I see nothing in PJ's post that contradicts what I said. He was a racist and I know of no modern Democrat who idolizes Wilson. And I don't know where the blurb came from -- Wikipedia, I suspect -- but many of the legislative achievements of Wilson's first term were made through strong Congressional action and without a great deal of legislative leadership. I know the most about the Federal Reserve Act. It was passed as a reaction to a proposal put forward by Republicans, called the Aldrich Proposal, to have essentially a private (or series of private) central banks. The Glass-Owens act was a legislative counter response to this that created the current Federal Reserve System. Like much of the legislative agenda that was passed, this type of legislation had been stalled for several sessions because of insufficient numbers of Democrats in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate.

Before 1912, Speaker Champ Clark had a narrow majority. The Democrats picked up 50 or 60 seats in the election. In the Senate, the gains were smaller, but gave the Democrats control. This accounted for much of the legislative activity in Wilson's first term.

If anyone is really interested, I have two or three biographies of Wilson I can cite you to for background information, although I think they are currently boxed up. A couple of them are out of print and I don't know of a good biography of Wilson that is currently in print. The best is a mult-volume one by a guy named Link, if I recall correctly. There is one by some nut named Pesatto or something like that that is fairly recent, but is not very good at all.

And WTF points out one of the reasons that Wilson is not a hero to many progressive Democrats -- he had a very highly interventionist foreign policy that is more the basis for the idiocy of George Bush than anything that resembles mainstream Democratic foreign policy these days. Wilson, like Bush, was a dedicated cultural imperialist. Originally Posted by TexTushHog

The democratic party's politicans are not the democrats of old. "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me." - Ronald Wilson Reagan. Everyone knows that JFK would be considered a conservative by today's standards.

The left has been listening and regurgitating the same crap that came from Wilson, e.g., The US Constitution is living and breathing. Wilson was a KKK advocate and guess what party Byrd et.al. chose? That's right, the KKK grandmaster chose the Democrat party. Another example, Hillary Clinton praised Margaret Sanger who was one of the biggest racists to ever walk the face of the earth, she also said during the 2008 primary, "I prefer the term progressive." It was Wilson who was the father of the Progressive movement and there are plenty of Liberal Politicans who quote him daily.

Another example would be to look up the naming of public schools after the racist Wilson and where are the predominantly located, poor urban communities. I doubt that the students and families of the Woodrow Wilson school here in Dallas even know that Wilson was pro-segragation.

You and Marshall are the only one's here that believe that crap.

Get your facts straight. Reagan's immigration policy was a COMPROMISE with the Democratic Congress. There are racists of all flavors, but your choice of decrying seems to lean the other way trying to make it appear that only conservatives are racist. Have a great day! Bleet much?

As to Reagan...you are either not telling the truth or you do not know the truth. Either way , enjoy this link and learn. This from The Cato Institute, you have heard of them right? I'm no lover of Ronnie but I do like seeing the truth! How about that Paul Revere warning the British of there own raid! Who knew.

But another aspect of Reagan's record that should not be forgotten was his commitment to keeping America open to trade and immigration....

....Compare Reagan's hopeful, expansive, and inclusive view of America with the dour, crabbed, and exclusive view that characterizes certain conservatives who would claim his mantle. Their view of the world could not be more alien to the spirit of Ronald Reagan.



I think they are talking about you and Marshall with that last line!

Reagan thought he had an understanding with democrats to do comprehensive immigration reform.....he was a compassionate man who made the mistake of taking democrats at their word....nobody's perfect, but pinko libs laugh at people when they aren't perfect and make a mistake.....

Yeah right. Thats my problem. It has nothing to do with stray morons.

Show me where Reagan thought he made a mistake on immigration.

You are just making shit up.



Reagan did not mind admitting his mistakes, his followers should follow that lead!

http://www.newworldradical.com/2011/...ow-we-can.html

That's not to say he didn't acknowledge mistakes on this front. Even Ronald Reagan, the conservative's conservative, understood that interventionist foreign policy can be dangerous. In 1983 he sent us into Lebanon, saying he would never back down. But after a couple hundred Marines were killed, the troops were taken out. In his memoirs, Reagan address this stating, “I said I would never turn tail and run. But I never realized the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics.” He found out the hard way that interventionist strategies aren't the best options. I only wish the conservatives who praise Reagan in every speech would also heed his own lessons learned.

you libs pull all these Saul Alinsky tactics like denying the truth even when the evidence proving you're wrong stares you in the face.....

libs upset conservatives by telling lies....conservatives upset libs by telling the truth......

Of course Reagan admits his mistakes, he's a conservative and that means he's honest......it's one of the reasons he is beloved.....do you think Odumbo will ever admit his mistakes? or do you think he'll double down on them?


nobody's perfect and we all know that, but libs laugh at people's imperfections

He would not stand a chance in the GOP as it now stands.

Here is part of Reagan's farewell speech. It says nothing of his regret on immigration, in fact Reagan was for free trade and open borders when it pertained to work. Nothing you say will change the facts. Reagan's own words prove you wrong.

''I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.''
