no just baiting the far lefties, and pointing out some positives.
he's done for me, though I did get rich under his watch
the war trumps the many good things he's done
I'll bet many of his buddies got pockets full f money on the wind generation project as well. Cronyism and graft seems prominent among Bush supporters.
Didn't you guys know that is why it is so windy in Oklahoma......and mostly from the south. Texas blows.
Sorry, that's a little off color but I had to type it.
Texicans deserve it Leaning. A few relocated ones I have met had recovered though. Is there rehab for getting over being a Texican ?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Oh I get it...that's how the fairness doctrine works huh?

Now that did not censor anything did it Damo ?
It would if, by law, they believed Texas to be the opposite of Oklahoma. The unFairness Doctrine would mandate that the opinion of Texas be expressed to answer that of Oklahoma. Thus shutting out any other options. Often people would avoid expressing the opinion of Oklahoma because the Texas opinion would then be necessary to "Fair" it up in that oh-so-special Government Approved way.
Face it, uscit, it limits discussion and often does the opposite of what it was proposed to do. Thankfully we realized that and got rid of such restrictive censorship and now have many more options to us. Now we can hear the opinion of Colorado too, and even sometimes Kansas even though they have far less representation by numbers.

How did we make it so well during all those years the fairness doectine was in place I wonder......
It depends on what you believe is "well". If you are a Libertarian and your opinion is shuffled to the side and never expressed because it is not a Government approved "opposite" of the other then you would find your definition of "fine" might be a little jaundiced.
We got along "fine" with the idiotic price-fixing of Nixon's but that doesn't mean the policy was right or even beneficial.
I see how much better it is now than before, I like it that way. I like choice in my network news. I like to be able to change channels and get an entirely different viewpoint. I like to be able to listen to the Libertarian on our talk raadio at night and the Democrat in the morning.
In my opinion it has gotten far better than before, choice is better than government homogenization at any moment of any day. If I like I can, and do, change over to the Liberal Talk station to listen to the diatribe of the day. I enjoy having these choices that I would not have otherwise when their unFairness Doctrine specifies the "opposite" of each opinion and we end up limited to the opinions of the major two again.
Your rationalization for returning to such censorship fails to be convincing in any way and all I have to do is remember the past. Playing "See the Same Story on all Three News Shows" while flipping through the channels....
I will continue to prefer my choices over a standardization and homogenization of Government-Approved "news" and opinion.
