Regardless of which party is in charge the other party is completely determined to do their best to keep the other party from making any significant changes that might make that party successful. The problem with our system boils down to the fact that each party wants to be the party to "fix things" and goes out of their way to keep the other party from actually fixing anything. In the end nothing gets done and we are sold down the drain by both parties. I am firmly convinced that there will never again be any significant improvement in our country. EVER. Simply put neither party can allow the other party to be the one to do it...so it will never get done. I Do believe we are seeing the final days of our great nation's prominence....and there is nothing we can do to stop the decay. The system, as it turns out, is flawed. Sadly. But then that is just one disilusioned man speaking for himself and his own opinions.Musing Madmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440317878587644101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-66312380520737219842010-01-29T21:09:10.521-05:002010-01-29T21:09:10.521-05:00For RJ:

I also cut up 12 chickens, but that's not cooking, sorry.<br /><br />I'm competing in a Chili contest on the 6th, sponsored by our school, and helping to raise money for the Special Olympics. See, we Pachyderms can be compassionate ... ;-) Don't know if I'll win, but it's for a great cause the late Eunice Shriver would support.<br /><br />Oh, and BTW .. I deliberately decided to do a true Chili Con Carne - no veg other than onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and garlic. 10 pounds of brisket and 1 pound of ground chuck are going in, a carnivore's delight. Around here, Chili is kind of a ... uhh .. debatable thing. Most here don't know what real chili is (vegetarian chili? with tofu, seitan, and tempeh? give me a break!). Hopefully, I can fix that. And there will be no beans or anything else in it other than what I've described. I'll serve them on the side, along with sour cream, local cheddar, pickled jalapenos, red onions, scallions, etc. But I'll be damned if they'll be in the chili itself.<br /><br />I now return you to your regularly scheduled conservative vs. liberal discussion ...<br /><br />Al<br />TRAGAl The Retired Army Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-47071692212749508912010-01-29T19:04:50.486-05:002010-01-29T19:04:50.486-05:00e: no point really. thanks for the forum. the gu...e: no point really. thanks for the forum. the guy on the corner swore that this was good stuff.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626884939818771077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-77616675097078631022010-01-29T14:18:57.459-05:002010-01-29T14:18:57.459-05:00After a year of blaming the Obama Administration f...After a year of blaming the Obama Administration for failing to do the right thing when it comes to the economy, the GOP awoke this morning to some very disturbing news - 4th quarter GDP rose by an astounding 5.7%<br /><br />The change from the first quarter of 2009, when GDP fell at an annual rate of 6.4 percent, is truly extraordinary; indeed, the three-quarter swing in growth rates was the largest since 1981.<br /><br />Great news for the nation – bad news for a GOP who have proven time and again that best interests of the country come in a distant second to their personal and party ambitions and objectives.<br /><br />Speaking today at the Republican Issues Conference, House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence informed his audience that the good economic news had absolutely nothing to do with the Obama Administration’s economic policy.
