"The ability to predict retrospectively" is different from "20/20 hindsight" HOW?

Even a CNN anchor knows asteroids aren't affected by earthly events. It's a technique for putting the lies out more often and with a negative bias. I've seen statements like " I missed my bus again today---damn Republicans!". Non related statements linked to prejudice the non critical listener .

I suppose this disqualifies him from future office. Too wealthy

Certainly true that Lincoln destroyed the Republic in order to save the Union. Also true that he had numerous personal characteristics that are laudable, and should be emulated. I always liked the one about not worrying about getting God on our side but on being on God's side.

Now the beginning of the Pea Party? Presenting a movong target for the left to ridicule, maybe we'll bleed them dry of ink

The reason Reagan could not tame the deficit is the lack of follow through from the Democrats. Reagan agreed to tax increases LINKED to spending cuts which never came. And for all of Reagan's tax increases, taxes did not return to the level they were at when he cut them.

Such a procedure could be increasingly important as population density increases and with it the need to be good neighbors. TO keep the definition of good neighbor under local control, such interventions shoujld require local complaints. Definitely open to abuse, or use to evict large numbers of immigrant population whose practices do not fit traditional Dutch society

"Teabaggers" say nothing of the sort. Your post does not even rise to the level of a strawman argument

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.". The Dems are big on the caring emotion, the GOP fails to explain how their positions are also caring. 1) Dems give handouts as caring, GOP needs to sell fiscal conservancy as caring about the debt load on us and our children. 2) Dems sell proabotion as caring about the mother, GOP needs to sell caring about the baby, and especially how it is NOT a religious position that the conceptus is already a unique human being, not just analogous to a wart. 3) Dems sell environmentalism as caring about the earth, GOP needs to sell responsible development as caring about people. People NEED cheap energy, the cleaner the better but the cheaper the better too.

With Statists, you either join their club or it joins you. There is no option other than assimilation. Think Star Trek and the Borg
