Let the Spree Begin!
New president, new line of credit. A lot of people kept us safe. Bully for Burris. Plus more.
(Page 3 of 3)
As the bone chilling climate change days of Martin Luther King
Month give way to arctic Black History Month, I propose we change
the mid-February shopping spree/ski weekend to Barack Obama Day.
In the spirit of political correctness, I’d also like to change
the name of the Happy Federal Holiday between Chanukah and Kwanza
to Ronald Reagan Day. Anyone else remember him?

Re: Jay D. Homnick’s
Burris in the Saddle:
I am a conservative Constitutionalist Republican. However, to the
new liberal senator from Illinois, I say, “Way To Go!” for facing
down “the big boys” (Reid, et al). It was long overdue. He called
their bluff and they folded. Let’s see some poker playing like
that from the GOP!

Mr. Batemen,
You start with, "I make no claims on how others should live their lives. You end with," "Ira, your choices are yours and hopefully will always be yours but please stop calling yourself a 'libertarian' and living the life of a liberal Democrat."
If you can't even see the contradictions in your own writings, I will not ask that you understand the subtly of mine.
If you wish to continue our debate, I will do so here. I don't wish to tax the energies of the fine editors of TAS.

Ira,
education will never go anywhere anymore. if you try to change it, you will be mau maud.
multiculturalism means more disharmony in education.
salaries will go up substantially but ed quality will increase marginally.

he wont tax the energies of the fine editors of TAS, too bad my brothers on Long Island feel so taxed. their property taxes are over $10,000 a year-- and guess where so much of the 10 grand goes.
good thing libertarians hate govt.
imagine if they didn't.
