I was actually better financially during the Clinton years than I have been since
Payton Wilson on what he thought of Carter Finley: Drunk Crazy Crowded
That economy was good for awhile. Unfortunately, it too was a phony economy. It was built on the .com growth. Companies with over inflated Market Caps (Public Companies) and invested capital to businesses that never made a dollar.When it crashed, it crashed.Glasswolf said:

You can also trace the beginning of today's catastrophic fiscal excesses back to 1998 when "Sheriff Al" Greenspan decided to rescue an economy that should have been allowed to collapse back then when the long term harm to the country would have been much less. Unfortunately, Al set a precedent for the Fed to get involved and create money for every little economic rough patch that came along thereafter.caryking said:That economy was good for awhile.

Remember, Cisco was in big trouble because they built up based on the .com economy. Those companies started falling and all that infrastructure became pennies on the dollar. Cisco had no new revenue!
There was one company that took the road less traveled. That was Amazon! All the analyst said: you have to go virtual with dang near everything. Bezos (don't really like the guy) said: we are going to build infrastructure. That he did!

Things is these are middle aged and older men making laws concerning a womens body. How would you feel if it was middle aged or older women making laws about a man's body?
And planned parenthood does good things. They aren't solely about abortions
Pro-lifers are fighting to protect the unborn child. The mother already relinquished her rights by having unprotected sex in 99% of all pregnancies.

Nor would I but if this POTUS can call the Pro-life folks "really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history", surely an average American can trivialize the magnitude of giving birth relative to the magnitude of viscously slaughtering one's own offspring. As has been shown, if the words are coming from the POTUS, they carry special significance and weight and should at least be plausible.Packchem91 said:LOL, no offense man, but if it wasn't clear before, you are a male.

I'd like to watch you sit in on a debate with my wife's aunt. Trot those lines out, you might leave less a man, if you know what I mean, lol. z
I think abortion as a convenience is bad, but considering how I'd have promised to do just about anything the first time I was taken to the hospital with kidney stones, I'm not going to go tell a woman, "sorry dear, but you're a host, it was your decision, and you need to suck it up and deal with this relatively minor inconvenience".
I was referring to respect and decorum. Yes I was still a kid but I do recall a very robust economy towards the end of the 90's. I was about 10 when Clinton got elected first time. I could not vote in the 2000 election b/c I turned 18 one month later.Glasswolf said:

McCarthy does an outstanding job of showing a long history of violent intimidation from Democrats is the problem for that political party. Well done, sir! I encourage everyone to read the entire piece. If you want to know how Conservatives feel about Progressives, this will explain it quite well.Quote:
If Democrats and other Trump obsessives are really wondering why much of the country couldn't care less about the Capitol riot, they need look no further than the Biden administration's disgraceful response to the criminal leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion in the Dobbs abortion case, and to the intensifying threats from the radical Left that endanger the justices, their families, and the Court as an institution.
It is worse than a nonresponse. It is worse than a reckless response. The Biden administration and Democratic Party activists are complicit in the extortionate, norm-busting, burn-it-down id of the woke progressivism they extol.
It is thug government.
No, the Insurrection! will continue to elicit a collective American yawn because, this week shows yet again, the Democrats don't give a rat's ass about politically motivated violence, American institutions, or the Constitution.
Roe is not law. It is will to power disguised as law. Its survival in the face of challenges rooted in actual constitutional law has thus depended on extortion. Pro-life politicians have been slandered as misogynists who sought to enslave women (though now that "birthing persons" are, I'm assured, not necessarily women, this smear seems to have lost the plot at some point). Judicial nominees of Republican presidents, particularly nominees to the Supreme Court, have been subjected to vicious, relentless campaigns not just to malign but to destroy them. That's not hyperbole. As Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh could tell you as Sam Alito could tell you this week, and Bob Bork could tell you if he were still with us the Left's objective has been to ruin their lives. Not just for the malicious satisfaction of laying enemies low, but more importantly for the in terrorem effect.
"I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh," the Democrats' Senate leader Chuck Schumer bellowed in June 2020 on the steps of the Supreme Court, as the justices heard argument in an abortion case. "You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions." In response, progressive activists roared. Because that is how the Roe abortion regime has been sustained. By intimidation. And let's be clear what intimidation means: by the real, omnipresent threat of politically motivated violence.
Democrats know what their "whirlwind" is. There is a reason why domestic terrorists of the radical Left were rewarded with coveted academic posts and public platforms. There is a reason Barack Obama, as an ambitious young progressive Democrat, saw advantage in debuting in the living room of former Weatherman terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. There is a reason "mostly peaceful protest" is the media's cynical code for progressive "demonstrations" i.e., threats, looting, rioting, mayhem, torching, etc. There is a reason why the Biden Justice Department depicts doofuses who merely paraded at the Capitol as if they were terrorist insurrectionists, but then gives sweetheart plea deals to radical leftist lawyers who firebomb an NYPD squad car, and a radical leftist who actually killed a man in burning down a Minneapolis pawnshop, during BLM's "mostly peaceful protests." There is a reason Democratic district attorneys drop charges against radical looters.
The reason is simple: When the political Left wants something badly enough, extortionate threats which are effective because they are frequently coupled with actual violence are always on the table. Democrats cannot condemn progressive political violence because it is deemed righteous, seen as devotion to the cause. Leftists who engage in violence are lionized, not condemned.
Finally, why is Biden lying? Because he believes it is in his and his party's electoral interests to do so. Biden knows his administration is a disaster. If Democrats have to run on his record in the 2022 midterms, and then, two years later, he or some presumably sentient substitute has to run on it, Democrats are going to be wiped out. Fearing this, they are desperately trying to fool the electorate, to cling to power based on an enormous lie.
In so doing, they are willing to risk the safety of the justices and the viability of an institution, the judicial department, without which the Constitution that Biden is sworn to defend cannot be preserved and protected.
That's why no one cares what the Left has to say about January 6. We already know the Capitol riot was an abomination. The only thing to be said in mitigation is that at least that display of "passion" was aberrational. With the leak and the intimidation campaign that has inexorably followed, Democrats are firmly within their long tradition.
I kind of hope the world burns because of this ruling! A conservative should not be intimidated by their beliefs. Do what you believe in and let the world burn. Over time, we will get enough "True" conservatives in place to take care of the actions of a few!PackFansXL said:

I didn't watch, but I heard earlier this morning that he was going to "firmly" point the blame at the Republican legislators... is that pretty much what happened - or was it something else?PackFansXL said:

The best I've ever been financially was during the four years under Trump... in fact, I'm still doing pretty well with what I am bringing in - but my money just doesn't go as far, and we often can't get "some" of the things that we've routinely consumed on a consistent basis, because of the supply chain issues (mostly created by the current Administration's policy decisions).Glasswolf said:

He blamed it on COVID, Russia, and Republicans. He of course is doing everything he can to reduce it and none of his policies are to blame. He is talking about it because the new CPI data will be released tomorrow. Will it remain above 8%?

I'm a "Cowboy" too. 75% of the power and 50% of the money needs to be removed from DC and return it to the states. Each state can be a petri dish for the others to learn from. I actually prefer the states delegate to the local levels but that is not how its spelled out in the 10th amendment.......but a state could certainly legislate it.
We'll never rein in our Federal bureaucrats and politicians until we take our tax money and power away from them. Our Republic was 1st stolen from us in 1871 and certainly again in 1913. We're a people that have been "asleep at the wheel for far too long".
