    Damn, that's good. I never really thought of the reasoning behind the change from the freedom loving liberal in the 50s, 60s and 70s to the modern day fascist liberal.

    I remember watching Alan Shepard's launch on a black and white TV in elementary school, and 50 years later we're getting hd pictures back from the surface of a comet.

  10. Re:HAZMAT Theater Coming To The Airport Nearest Yo on The CDC Is Carefully Controlling How Scared You Are About Ebola · · Score: 1

    There's a simple way of dealing with that. Don't be a racist nut job. Have actual valid reasons for your positions and keep the outrage to a reasonable level.

    Coming from a person of color, far too often accusations of racism are used to silence legitimate dissent and debate.

    Having valid reason and articulable concerns will not be enough to protect anyone from charges of racism.

    We shouldn't be allowing anyone to enter this country if they have been to a country with an outbreak of any hemorrhagic disease in the past 90 days. For now, that means certain west African nations. The people in Zambia are every bit as black as the ones in Liberia and THEY aren't letting Liberians in.

    Obama himself isn't a lefty, he's a moderate right politician. It's just the racism that blinds so many right wing nutjobs to what Obama is actually doing.

    Depends on your politics. If you're an anti-war lefty, there's not much difference between Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Reagan.
    If you're a small government righty, again, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Reagan aren't much different.

    Me, I'm a fiscal moderate and a social conservative. There are lightyears between Obama and Bush, from my perspective.

    "If you have a jumper and he is unarmed and has no bags or backpacks or briefcase, do you unleash a dog and risk having cell phone video shot from Pennsylvania Avenue of an unarmed, mentally ill person being bitten or menaced by an attack dog?"

    I've been running my '83 240D with (aprox.) 50x50 mix of bio-diesel and Jet A for several years.
    I get all the jet fuel I want for free and the bio runs around $3.75 a gallon.
