Progressives versus Conservatives

Hey something's topsy turvy here. The progressives, otherwise known as the Democrats, or even 'bovine conservatives' in another thread have NO ideas. It's just same old-same old, with more money to expand same old-same old. You can close your eyes and ears, read what a Dem canidate's position is on an issue and you can't tell the diff between the canidates. Well, Kooky Kucinich does give some clues with all those references to UFO's he's seen. The mean old corporate Republicans are all over the map on positions. Just who is the big tent party? We've got liberal Republicans and conservative Republicans, and a mix of everything else in between. The Dems have got a bunch of Midshipmen, wet behind the ears, who all keep repeating, "the bow is the pointy end".
For more on this, better and more comically told:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art..._for_dems.html

And those of you sick and tired of Boomerism, and it's attendant self-absorption, may take an interest in this column. Could this be the election that we finally put the sixties to rest, just saying, 'hey, anybody can have a bad decade'?

Great "Come back" Cam! That was really good.

One of the things Reagan was known for was his writerless witt.

The very terms "progressives" and "conservatives" are misrepresentations.

Progressives hold an outlook, propagandize for and worship the most primitive things: back to nature; collectives; Eastern mysticism and the philosophies they stem from; settling issues by vote, ie, feelings, not reason.

Today's Conservatives also hold an outlook, propagandize for and worship the most primitive things: back to religion; collectives, though of a different kind (duty!); Middle Eastern mysticism and the philosophies they stem from; settling issues by vote, by reference to or starting with premises rooted in other dimensional entities, not reason.

Both sides are Statist. Both sides ignore the explicit and implicit sense of the Founding Documents. Both need to be overturned.

In reading here, I see no mention of some things I feel are important to mention. I expect all hell to break loose, and I'm not sorry. Has anyone heard of: David Rockefeller, the trilateral commission, the bilderburg group, the carlyle group, the council on foreign relations, the bohemian grove, nathan rothschild and family, weishaupt, schimpf, albert pike, federal reserve,The John Birch Society,The New American Magazine,? I would like to see the usual thoroughness and investigative nature of the sailnet community weigh in on these topics.

Yeah we've heard of 'em. Seperately, some of them are interesting. Collectively, in the manner you've presented them, they were discussed here in 2000 under lunar phenomena. Look up that thread in the archives; it reads like today's news.

btw,
How DO you manage to get through so often to C-Span on Washington Journal?

Has no one given it any thought since then? And if there is a thread I couldn't get there. I would like to read it because even though I'm new around here I have really come to enjoy reading the opinions, as I learn lots here.
