For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -

What liberal media?Originally posted by rah
Like the liberal media doesn't do the same thing.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

I can't get all that worked up about this. But yeah, I'd much rather she hadn't said it, because it will be useful fodder for the Republicans.
I'm not always proud of my country. I am proud of some things, and... not proud of others. This, of course, makes me a terrible traitor to some people. I'm not really sure why pride is such a good thing - I think this country suffers from excessive pride in itself. If the USA was a person (Brittney?), she would forever demand that the mirror on the wall tell her she's the most beautiful of them all...

The US side started with and always had a bigger economy. The USSR side could never produce guns and butter at the same time. Specifically speaking they could not maintain a war economy indefinitely. Their economy was doomed to failure from the beginning unless there were more revolutions throughout the world.

Only a very few would say you have to be proud of your country in every detail, but if you live her and are not overall proud of it you would have to be a moron.
There are certainly things in this country that could be better, and a few that are outright wrong, but the very vast majority of circumstances are good, thus I am proud of my country.
There is a gulf of difference between thinking your country needs some changes and not being proud of it at all."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

Wow, someone is still defending this thread?
She didn't say "at all."There is a gulf of difference between thinking your country needs some changes and not being proud of it at all.
More importantly, a.) the Obama campaign said that she mis-spoke (that she was referring to the political process), b.) Michelle Obama isn't running for office, and c.) if we're going to care about candidates' spouses, Cindy McCain pales in comparison to Michelle Obama in just about every respect (not just the skin color). Boshko hinted at one aspect of this..."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Well O'Rielly is still suggesting that she "dislikes America." That was 4 hours ago, after the clarification by Obama.Originally posted by DinoDoc
You people seem hung on Fox for some reason that I can't fathom. They didn't create the story nor did they force her to say what she did.

Everyone else has printed the clarification and realized how stupid it is.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

That story supports my position:
As I read it, Reagan threatened an arms race, which Gorby knew the USSR could not financially match. Then Reagon proposed nuclear arms cuts, which Gorby needed so he could institute his economic reforms. So deals were cut.
What the story fails to go on to say is that, despite the Soviet's reforms, the U.S.S.R.'s economy collapsed.
Reagan had bumpkis to do with it.Comment
