Did they have ads on the website?
I won't even give them a "hit" on the article I loathe their *ahem* professional journalism so much.
Nova I agree. I will not subscribe to any lib publications and refuse to rent videos or go to movies that have loud mouth lib activists in them. We need to band together and boycott these losers. People need to stay cognizant of the fact that these mouths are using our money against us and our children.
My greatest desire is to catch Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, or George Clooney and give them a wedgie that will cross their eyes and make em stutter for a long time.....Oh bay....bee

And in my 37 years neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have produced any stellar presidents, but I think Clinton was pretty good.
What I remember of Reagan was not impressive, but most of what I remember was from the Iran/Contra trials so its not a great assessment.
Let's see, you were 5 or 6 years old when Reagan was elected and 13 or 14 years old when he left office. Unless you were unusually interested in politics at a very early age (I was), then I suspect I see why you don't remember much about the greatest President in the history of our country. If all you can remember is Iran-Contra, then you don't know anything. Carter gave the U.S. something the so-called experts said was impossible -- inflation and recession at the same time. He gutted the U.S. economy, U.S. intelligence capability, and respect for the U.S. worldwide in less than his one 4-year term. This is what Reagan inherited. What did he give us in return? He gave us a strong economy (because supply-side economics does work), a strong military (enough to bring about the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991), worldwide respect for the power and will of the American people (because they know gutless, cowardly Democrats no longer controlled U.S. foreign policy), and pride in being an American. <SNIP>

Let me add as one who served during Carter's term, that his mealy mouthed foreign policy cost a lot of friend's lives and some from my own team. The back and forth as we scrambled, got airborne and then turned around over and over again did nothing more than show the world we had no resolve. The culmination was the vacillation on the Iran hostage rescue until an eleventh hour "Go" was given with disastrous results. A lot of good men died in the desert that night and for naught.
Interestingly, they were all of a sudden released when Reagan was sworn in.

I can think of only one positive out of that mess...the robust AFSOC we have today...still a terrible price to have paid, though.
I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but it bears reminding:

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them; and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
This is what is at the core of this presidential election.

Switzerland hit back Tuesday at a US presidential election campaign video that portrays the country as a tax haven.
In the video, a character named Miss Swiss Bank Account describes the Republican candidate Mitt Romney as a "boss millionaire with accounts everywhere", the ATS news agency reported.
The film gives "the impression that having a bank account in Switzerland is dubious in itself and its only aim is to hide money from the tax authorities," Switzerland's Federal Department for Foreign Affairs (DFAE) said.
Switzerland's Washington embassy reportedly expressed its unhappiness at the clip to the Obama team, ATS said.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who is out-fundraising President Barack Obama by impressive margins, is attracting thousands of donors this summer from traditionally Democratic areas of the United States, collecting millions of dollars in even progressive communities from New York to Los Angeles, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of new campaign data.
Donors from tony neighborhoods of Manhattan to even the famously liberal Castro neighborhood in San Francisco helped Romney and the GOP outraise Obama by more than $25 million in July, beating him and the Democratic Party in contributions for a third consecutive month, the AP analysis showed.
