I used to think Colin Powell was a great leader...it is unfortunate he has turned into a political dope. The only motivation I can think of is his disdain for GWB.Liberty wrote: What have I said that is misleading? or implies that that I have a faulty understanding?
I'm not sure what your point is? I don't claim to be an expert, but I am quite sure that Joe McCarthy kept company with some real slime balls including the Likes of Joe Kennedy, He was part of one of the most embarrassing moments of American history that persecuted folks for their beliefs. He was a drunk and died of hepatitis. While not a member of HUAC he certainly provided fuel for separate yet parallel persecution. McCarthy never was able to support his charges of Communist within our government. He was Censored for his reckless behavior by his fellow Senators. He was a champion of political dirty tricks in his campaigning for Butler against Tydings. His name will forever be tied to dirty politics and making wild unsubstantiated charges. He probably had more to do with installing a Democratic Congress and President than any other single man.
Did I leave anything out? Did I mention that he was a liar and a drunk?
I think you both need to go study your history...as I am seeing much of the rhetoric of the past repeated.iratollah wrote:What is the source for your numbers? Of the well over 5 million immigrants to the US between 1920-1944, only about 100,000 were Jewish. This is less than 2% of the total. Is this how you define many?Liberty wrote:Many of the immigrants of the 20s 30s and 40s were Jewish. Many of the the folks McCarthy persecuted were also Jewish.
Should something like the 1994 AWB be proposed and passed (assumedly in the next administration)...Where would you get a 12 round magazine? How about an AR-15, or other "Assault classified" rifle?dwhitley wrote:... But please if I am correct the federal govt cannot take away our Texas right to carry our weapons. I may be wrong, but I thought that was in the states hands. I think people are jumping on this bandwagon and its to early to tell. I would like to revisit this again in a year from now and see how old Obama is doing. Now this still does not mean you should vote for him, but I am curious to see how well people here deal with a different type of person in office... Hmmmm
