Secondly, to say you don't have an agenda is just like saying "I think your all stupid." Kind of like the regime in Iran saying the vote wasn't a fraud. I would respect you more if you said you had an agenda, because at least then I would know you aren't lying. The more I read your post, I expect you to say "Read my lips".

I agree. You really rarely see anything postive about Obama or the left at all from Denny.

Or about republicans or the right.

Not that they're all that relevant these days...

Why do you need tens of thousands of troops to destroy opium crops when a few sorties with napalm can do the job?

On the other hand, you have two presidents of quite different politics who don't seem to want to destroy these opium crops because it's the peoples' sole source of any wealth at all.

I would love to see us undertake a program of paying farmers for their opium crops for one season. Buy them for what they'd get by selling them to the Taliban and then burn them to the ground. Then provide a fertilizer for the crops that treats opium like a weed and offer food seeds for free. Let them know that you'll buy their crop if they don't sell it. However, if they grow opium again, then their crops are burned and they get nothing. If the Taliban forces them to grow opium, offer to provide security.

Well, what exactly is positive? They created the credit crisis by strongarming banks into lending to people who couldn't pay back the loans. Since they've taken complete control, we've lost 2MM jobs and our annual deficit has quintupled from the previous year. They've added $2T in new debt with no end in sight. They wasted $678B on payoff money to their friends and are now paving the way for another "stimulus" package because the first one clearly didn't work. North Korea is emboldened. Our President says Iran is not our concern when an election is stolen from someone more moderate than the current whackjob, but he'll jump in with two feet for a Honduran president who wanted to become Hugo Chavez by changing the constitution. Russia is now slapping him around like Stalin did to Roosevelt at Yalta. Oh, and they're going to use the occasion of the worst recession in 27 years to raise taxes on energy and create a health care plan they don't have to join and for which they cannot pay.

Yep, the Left has done a bang up job.
