A new direction? What does that mean? By now you've seen the Democrats' latest campaign slogan: *"A New Direction for America -- Vote DEMOCRATIC!"* Let's analyze this empty and misleading promise. The stock ket is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means what? Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means what? Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means what? Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means what? Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means what? The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means what? Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means what? Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means what? Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means what? Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Qaeda’s top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means what? Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks A new direction from there means what? Just as Bush had planned and foretold us of on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are alighting the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US ines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means what? Moreover, bear in mind that all of the above occurred in the face of the 1999 tech crash, the epidemic of corporate scandals throughout the 90's, and the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks on NYC years in the planning which collectively sucked 24 trillions dollars and 7.8 million jobs out of the US economy even before G. W. Bush had time to unpack his suitcases in the White House. It's easy for the Democrats to attempt to discredit, disgrace and defame our commander in chief, George W. Bush -- that's what they do. What's not so easy for them to do is to refute irrefutable facts, no matter how they might try.

First, you said all the terrorists were in Iraq, where George Bush could crush them like a walnut. Now you say they're all over the world and all Muslims everywhere share the goal of destroying the United States and taking over the world. You are providing great entertainment to a lot of people and I hope you'll continue.

Do you really believe that? Can you really be that ill-informed? There are anti-American jihadists and would-be jihadists all over the Muslim world and outside the Muslim world as well. Do you think the ones who tried to hijack planes at Heathrow and blow them up over the Atlantic were just taking a break from their holy war in Iraq? It's very convenient for conservatives to think that what's going on in Iraq today is USA vs. the terrorists. But that's not what's going on at all.

Radical Islam extremists have told the world they are determined to kill all non-believers-- and especially to bring down the decadent West. They will continue to attack "easy" targets such as UK, France, Indonesia, Spain, even Russia, and all over the world during our war to hold Iraq-- while continuing their war to get Iraqi oil and combine their foothold in the Middle East. They have not attacked the US again simply because they can't-- Bush has blocked them by listening to their communications and intercepting their money transfers and much else--no thanks to democrats who voted against these vital tools, btw. If they get Iraq, they will combine Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Saudia Arabia, Lebanon, and basically every country in the Middle East except Israel. The other Arab countries would either fall in line or be wiped out. Then they would blackmail the US by withholding oil-- and trade that oil for nuclear weapons-- to be used to wipe us out. They will force Israel to use nukes to defend themselves. So Iraq is the lynchpin. We CANNOT allow them to get control there. Their goal is childishly simple to understand--and essentially no thinking person can refute what they intend to do. There a BILLION of them-- and many suspect essentially all of them share the common goal of world domination-- since the Koran definitely says they cannot coexist with non-believers. Why is that it difficult for liberals to understand? What you would do is give them a major advantage in their ch against us. Larry

There was a boom recently but 40% of the new home sales were second homes bought by rich people as investments, for rental, or just for second homes.

If you take credit for the time since 9/11 then you must also take blame for 9/11 itself. I also noticed you (or whoever you copied this from) qualified your statement with "on US soil." That is a nice way to forget about the many attacks around the globe that were inspired or casued by Bush's actions. > > Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not > surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Qaeda's top > dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel.

The irrefutable fact is that Bush ignored many warnings about 9/11 from Richard Clarke, the CIA, and even Bill Clinton himself. His ignorance is responsible for the loss of thousands of innocent lives all over the world. A record to be proud of, I'm sure.

The DJIA is at an all time high, although it has essentially gone nowhere over 6 or 7 years. But that is an overhyped and narrow measure. The S&P 500, much more indicative of how pensions and 401k's have done, is now at 1367; its all time high is around 1550. The Nasdaq - the stock ket for the 21st century - is down over 50% from its all time high. Small-cap stocks have done much better over the same span.

Radical Islam has been rising since the 70's, slowly acquiring the means to attack the West--they are in a "1000 year war" that will not end in our or our grandchildren's lifetimes. They have been growing around the world-- and have been attacking a dozen countries in addition to the US. It was by GW Bush's design that they are concentrating in Iraq-- where we can kill them with our armored gladiators. If it were not for Iraq, they would be attacking Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York-- That is going to happen anyhow-- but not on GW Bush's watch. I strongly suspect that anyone reading this who knew what GW Bush learned after 9/11-- would have done what he did-- or else become the president who presided over the demise of America. You would have invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and done whatever else was necessary to divert them. You would have learned that they were coming again, and again.... Larry

Modern Muslim radicalism can be traced to the Muslim Brotherhood which started in Egypt in the 1930s. Groups like Hamas and Hezbollah are direct descendants and are based on the same model of having social programs like schools and services for the poor, a political wing and a militant wing. In reality, the purpose of the political and the social wings are to recruit for the militant wing. In any case, the idea that the US, and its allies, shouldn't respond to threats because it will make Muslims mad is illogical. If things have to come to a head, then the earlier the better.

If things >have to come to a head, then the earlier the better. Exactly right!!! And the very idea that we are not at war, the denial of this threat simply because of partisan politics, because democrats MUST oppose what GW Bush says, is the most dangerous possible situation for America. Nancy Pelosi said we are not at war! They would give Radical Islam an opportunity to regroup simply because that is not what our President wants--and they would do it even though it might lead to a monstrous attack on the US. Democrats voted against the Patriot Act, they opposed wiretapping, they opposed tracing fund transfers. The only possible logical conclusion for those irresponsible votes is that Democrats WANT Radical Islam to succeed. We must keep not let them near the reins of government. Larry

If things >>have to come to a head, then the earlier the better. In addition, an interesting report was published yesterday by the CSIS. It seems that the US is winning the hearts and minds of the people in the Middle East. Of course, this is not due to the people liking the US more, but rather due to the fact that they see terrorist tactics as doing more harm than good. "Arab Public Opinion and Perceptions of Violence What is Changing? Overall support for violent tactics has waned in the Middle East over the past few years, Fares Braizat told a CSIS seminar on October 10. Braizat is a visiting fellow in the CSIS Middle East Program and a researcher at the Center for Strategic Studies at the University of Jordan in Amman. Braizat examined trends in Arab public opinion on violent tactics employed by militant Islamist movements such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda. He contended that Arabs are questioning the effectiveness of violence, which has done little to stem U.S. and Israeli actions in the Middle East. This has led to what he sees as a gradual delegitimization of militant groups in the region, especially among the populations these groups purport to represent. Braizat pointed to public opinion polls from the Arab world that show a general downward trends in support for militant groups. For example, the percentage of Jordanians approving of violence against Israeli civilians dropped significantly between 2000 and 2005. In addition, a growing percentage but still a minority of Arabs define Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations. In Jordan, an increasing number view al Qaeda as a terrorist organization, and similarly view attacks on U.S. soldiers in Iraq, Israeli civilians, and the World Trade Center as such. Braizat concluded that these numbers, while subject to short-term fluctuations, indicate a long-term trend of diminishing support for violence. Jordanians are less likely to view Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda as legitimate resistance groups today than they were in 2004 Braizat then pointed out an evolving paradox in the opinion polls. While U.S. and Israeli foreign policies continue to draw Arab contempt (and send them looking for ways to resist foreign interference), populations are increasingly displeased with militants operating within their own borders. In Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine, local militant movements are losing popularity. This is especially true for Hezbollah, whose approval ratings are universally stronger outside Lebanon than they are inside. Braizat explained that when a population feels the consequences of having an active militant group operating in its country, the movements lose some of their appeal. People will support militants as long as they do not have to pay for it, said Braizat. As long as they are in the neighbor’s backyard, they are fine with it. But when it is in their own back yard, they will reconsider." Here's the whole article. http://www.csis.org/component/option,com_csis_pubs/task,view/id,3568/type,1/
