Re: Oil prices got you down?
Ruel you are making some sense here. If you are making the point that
both political parties are at fault in getting us to where we are, I
would agree. But here are a couple of comments back to you..
What I detest is being considered a "bleeding heart liberal" just
because I work at a university. Being employed at a university is due
to a choice of professions and not a political philosophy.
My choice of professions does not determine my politics, but maybe to
some degree, my education does because it helps me to think things
through and certainly not brand individuals with vulgar terms like
"tree hugger" or "bleeding heart liberal". But an education does not
necessarily mean that I am "bleeding heart liberal."
Just for your information, what Jane Fonda did was absolutely stupid.
Whether or not she was a traitor, well I will leave that one for the
legal profession to determine. In no way was she a hero.
In a previous post the "greatest generation" was mentioned.
Fortunately for them, they have a social security plan to help them in
their old age. So the "greatest generation" has certainly benefited
from that liberal cause and they deserve it.
You speak of "liberalism and softness", need you be reminded that FDR,
a liberal president, got us into the second world war.
Remember, the another liberal President LBJ got us got us involved in
Vietnam because he believe in the domino theory that if South Vietnam
went communist, then Cambodia, Thialand, and other SE nations would
follow.
One was a good decision and the other.....
So I don't think your observation about liberalism and softness holds
up to reality.
>From what I history I have read, the decline of many a civilization is
really caused by the destruction of the middle class. That was
certainly true in the decline of the Roman Empire. They kicked a
whole lot of butt in the known world and it eventually drained their
treasury dry trying to defend their over stressed borders..
I don't understand the reasoning that going around the world and
kicking butt and bullying nations is making this country strong.
Anyway, some of the individuals in this group are getting way to
polarized and inciteful with their comments. I thought that this
group was about Jeeps a vehicle that both bleeding heart liberals and
pious conservatives can enjoy.

That can not be true. Your thinking of the railroad or local

Re: Oil prices got you down?
As a professor your job depends on tax payer's money, and your
ability to bullsh*t needs for government grants. You should know our
economy and the value of our dollar is directly related to the products
we produce. We all can't just teach others for a living, some of us have
to make a product/money to pay you.
It was President Eisenhower that sent advisors to Vietnam.

Re: Oil prices got you down?
As a professor your job depends on tax payer's money, and your
ability to bullsh*t needs for government grants. You should know our
