Amen SCO - that is what happened to the Roman Empire. They lost their backbone and eventually, in the west, couldn't/ wouldn't do what was necassary to defend them selves.

Re: In case you had any doubts about Clinton & Bin Laden

I for one can see the writing on the wall as far as which way this great country is going and, I for one am glad I won't be around to see it at it's bleakest time.<br /><br />I just feel sorry for the future generations and what they will have to contend with just to survive because of people like BC and others in this world. :(

SBN - I was really encouraged by how much support anong college students there was for going into Iraq.<br /><br />Chris Mathews did something he called the "College Tour" he went there thinking every one would be against the war.<br /><br />Every single college he went to, he asked the audience if they supported the war. In every case they stood up and cheered in support.

Yea Ralph, I hear ya.<br />My 3 girls and my 2 oldest grandkids aggreed that it was the right thing to do, but what have they got to look forward to if the "other side" gets their way?<br /><br />Not much.<br />Just more taxes and less wages.

Re: In case you had any doubts about Clinton & Bin Laden

Ladies and Gents,<br />I've read all posts, and did not purposely associate a name with any. I've just another point of view to add, but please listen to it.<br /><br />I'm neither right nor left, and I'll not take anothers opinion and try and defend it just because we share the same party. WE MUST ALL THINK INDEPENDENTLY, AND LISTEN CLOSELY, AND TRY to DETERMINE WHO, (WHO), HAS CREDIBILITY ON THEIR SIDE, if you can't do that I've no interest in speaking to you, and you should feel the same. <br /><br />You can't believe everything you hear or read, lots of liars, idiots, and ignorance out there. Look at sources, credibility, honesty to make your judgement. <br /><br />Clinton lies, and has been caught at it numerous times. Without a polygraph... I've determined he has no credibility. There are many others just like him.<br /><br />If I spent 8 years f'n things up, I dare anyone to try and fix it in 3. Once I get started I do a pretty good job.<br /><br />Using my methods of reasoning, I've determined that GW was dealt a poor hand, and think he's done OK, not great, but OK with it thus far. Considering the terrorism, and wallstreet crooks running wild under Clinton's watch.<br /><br />I do think GW favors big business, and especially Oil so you must watch him. If there weren't so many folks out there trying to kill us at the moment, and rob us blind, I may focus more toward that end.<br /><br />The French, Germans, and much of the rest of the world probably have issues to listen to, but I believe them to be jealous of this country, and I don't believe it will EVER go away, It may get quite for a while if you pander to them, but they are just laughing at you behind your back as they take what you give.<br /><br />So I ask all you fellow boaters, sit back, listen to all sides with skepticism, try and determine who is credible and who is not...may be neither side, and then, please make up your own mind irrespective of right or left.<br /><br />Best to you all.

Thanks Grandx. We independent thinkers find ourselves lined up on the right.. Heh heh. Of course PW will ROFLMAO at that suggestion. The scary thought is this: If I had walked through life in PW's shoes(not picking on you here PW) would I see things the way he does? I like to think that my perceptions and philosophies are based on my objectivity. Good post.

The French, Germans, and much of the rest of the world probably have issues to listen to, but I believe them to be jealous of this country, and I don't believe it will EVER go away, It may get quite for a while if you pander to them, but they are just laughing at you behind your back as they take what you give.<br />
I think you are 100% correct in that assesment. I spent a fair amount of time in Europe dealing with Eropean business leaders - the jealousy and animosity toward the US was wide out in the open. In general, I found them to be very condesending and paternalistic but deep down inside each would jump at the chance to become an American.<br /><br />The asians on the other hand were much more respectful and not so much envious as they were eager to learn and emulate the best we had to offer and ignore the rest. I went to business school with a lot of european and asian "elite" I become very close to a lot of the folks from Japan. Every single one did everything they could to get stay in the US after graduation. They loved American and her people and did not want to leave.

Re: In case you had any doubts about Clinton & Bin Laden

More thoughts: Us boaters may enjoy a good Pirate movie this weekend... But I would like to see all patriotic Americans boycott Johnny Depp's new Pirate movie, as well as anything else he does. We made him what he is, and now he speaks so lowly of his country, his kind is the worst in my book. I say to Depp stay in France, we don't need you here. Wonder what they think of him in his home state of Kentucky?
