PUBLIC APOLOGY
I inferred that someone made false statements here. That was something very wrong. I heartily apologize. I am very sorry. In the heat of the debate, I made the statement. We look at the same things.

we need a New Left
a REALLY new left. the old left is composed of "Sunshine soldiers" and "good times activists" who disappear when things aren't going well. the New Left of the 60's and 70's was a fad of the always faddish younger generation that disappeared when it seemed to be becoming unpopular. we need a left...

somebody asked
when during REagan's Administration did the left back off? They were decimated by the REagan Administration. The people of the United States of America lost a lot because the Left did not stand up and defend the people of the United States of America. Reagan was a union buster where was the...

THEY'RE DEIFYING REAGAN
It is interesting that so many hold Reagan up almost as an icon. An icon of the attack rhetoric that bullied so much of the liberal andprogressive wing of society to hush up -- the press then backed off and backed off and the Right kept attacking. In the manner of Pat Buchanan, the originator of...

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE JOE DIMAGGIO
"Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose, any way you look at it you lose." right?

THEY'RE REINSTATING THE DRAFT!
BULLETIN -- Bush et al. say we've got enough forces to handle the job -- if so, the following would not be needed. What did I say?
