Historically, Ivy league colleges are directed

towards whites so her saying that is not a shock. How would you feel if the roles were reversed, and you were the minority. I still do not feel that it was racist and I certainly do not get out of it that she is bitter or arrogant.

She actually attended 5 colleges in 6 years
and ultimately got her degree from University of Idaho.
Historically...
....Adolph and Benito were said to be mesmerizing speakers. But every time O speaks, I just feel it's all smoke and mirrors and there's no *there* there.
historically speaking
when the worker keeps less than 50% of his/her pay, it brings revolution. It is what this country was founded on. Under Obama's plans the average worker will get to keep .38 cents on the dollar. You will work 8-9 months of the year and not get one cent for it. Wow, that sure doesn't sound too good for the middle class to me, but under Obama's plan we should all be working for the "common good." Sound familiar to anyone? But personally, I see an even bigger issue here. Money is not the only riches we have. We Americans are rich in freedoms, and too many people are taking them for granted. People in this country are lining up to give away their freedoms to a charismatic new leader who promises "change." Things will change all right, but be careful what you wish for because you just might get it and it might not be what you expected.
We are talking about historically and excuse me...sm
but you are simply ignorant and all your ranting and raving will not cover up that fact. Noam Chomsky is an anti-American, a socialist/communist of the highest order. He is a piece of filth. It figures that you would like him. However, getting back to history. You are simply wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG. But instead of admitting it, you just keep blustering. Several people have told you that you are wrong. But will you admit it? No. This started as an historical conservation but to say there are no socialist Jews is laughably naive and just WRONG.
A story I like to tell about the Ivy League...
I earned a BBA (Bachelors of Business Administration) from Temple University. Many years ago, I had a pretty high-powered job. I'll never forget a young lady who came in to interview with me for a job in our department. It seemed as though she couldn't mention often enough that she had earned her BBA from the University of Pennsylvania. So, following her lead, I spent quite a bit of time talking to her about her time at Penn, and it didn't take her very long before she was expressing her opinion that an Ivy League education was better than any other, and so she was the best candidate out there. I admired her spunk, but not her flawed logic.
I told her that the BBA degree was accredited by a single organization, and that the study curriculum at all schools offering the degree was the same. One could argue that faculty in some schools were better or worse than in others, but there was no hard and fast measure of that opinion. The curriculum, however, was the same in every school.
I asked her what her University of Pennsylvania tuition had been. This was in the early 1980s, and she proudly said it was around $30,000 a year. I told her that tuition at Temple University was about $4000 a year. So the cost of my BBA had been roughly $16,000. The cost of hers had been roughly $120,000. I told her that in my opinion, we had purchased the same product, but that there was a significant difference in the cost of that product. I then asked her if as an employee of our company, I might expect her to likewise overpay on budget items in our department.
The kicker was, my degree was hanging on the wall in my office. She couldn't help but see it. It really wasn't the way to warm up to the interviewer. My impression of her was that someone paid a lot of money for her education, but she wasn't too smart.
I acknowledge that I am probably way out of my league but
Re: Clinton and terrorists: Maybe he knew. He probably did know, but attacks did not happen during his administration. I don't underestimate Mr. Cheyney's intelligence. I credit the attack to him.
Re: Clinton surplus. Whether it was a zillion or one dollar. It was a surplus. And Bush and co were chomping at the bits to spend it on anything other than the American people.
Re: Global warming. YOU don't believe it? This attitude annoys me more than anything else. Yes, the world evolves, whether it be natural or prematurely forced. Scientists all over the world have been documenting global warming and YOU don't believe it? Okay.
Re: Peace instead of war. Well... what do we have to lose? We try to make peace and they attack us... or we be SOBs and hate everyone and they attack us. Sorry... yeah, I'm a dem but I still believe in the golden rule. BTW, feedback is good so far with O's video to Iran.
Re: Letting people do it on their own. If only... There have just been too may casualties. Innocents who have been caught up in this financial fiasco and through no fault of their own (not all, but a lot). I'm sorry, but some Americans do need help and it benefits us all to provide that. I don't like it either. It's not that these people are lazy or made bad decisions, but because things just evolved into a really bad place really quick for a lot of people.
Okay... using cable is kind of a bad example I think. Cable companies have been territorial for years. I never ever heard of Comcast in my part of the world. I just know that cable companies have specific regions and it seems like this is a pretty regulated entity... oh... wait.... is regulation a bad word?
I think sunglasses describes better what some are seeing here.
It's good to know that his ivy league education
is being put to good use :o)-
Parker on Palin - She's out of her league!
Here is the link to the Kathleen Parker article. Finally, someone is making sense when speaking of Sarah Palin!

Is that directed towards me or JRR?
I just commented on the post, and I don't think what I posted deserved the outright insult that JRR threw at me. However, I'm an adult and can take it, however, obviously JRR is not a mature adult and can only hurl childish insults.
Who is this directed at (sm)
The OP or "me" who posted the rant about McCain??
vs, I don't think this response was directed at you...nm
That wasn't directed at you
I just view Obama that way. Sorry
Not directed at you, Kiki, just the guy who wrote....
this article...verrryyy slanted.
But all it says to me is that she is doing the job as governor of her state to take care of her people and it looks like she was doing a mighty fine job. Hence the 83% approval rating.
What I would be interested in is the same author looking at the lower 48, and seeing how much of their profits are off the top before a product leaves their state? I would imagine it is very close to that. It is a governor's job to look out for the people of the state, and she obviously put her people first. More power to her! If she pushes for the same principle on a federal level, we will do nothing but benefit.
Good grief, this person castigates the woman for doing her job and doing it well. At least she didn't siphon off a chunk for herself like many other corrupt politicians..it went right back to the people of her state.
And the interviewer could not resist the class warfare jibe: "Well I guess that means the Alaskan people are more important than we are..blah, blah, blah."
If this guy lived in Alaska he would be singing a different tune...sour grapes, class warfare. Typical.
Yep, I would be interested to know how much revenue from oil from Texas, oil from Oklahoma, coal from West Virginia...how much of that revenue is kept at the state level? My guess is as much as Palin kept in Alaska from Alaska's oil.
This article just reinforced for me why her influence is needed in Washington. She looks after the people who put her in office. Exactly what she SHOULD be doing IMHO.
The commend from Russia was directed at the new...
administration, not the current one. So it is not Bush's problem. Bush admin reacted the way they should have to the aggression in Georgia...and yes, I think Georgia was aimed at the election. Do you not remember Joe Biden going over there because he "friends" with the Georgian President? Came back denouncing the invasion. How long after that was he pegged for VP? Yeah, I would say the Russians were doing a little water testing.
I wish I shared your optimism about Obama. In sincerely wish I did. I sincerely wish he would take a look at Russia and realize that Marxist socialism does not work. But every torchbearer of Marxism that has come down the pike really believes that he will be the one to make it work. Sigh. Those who do not learn from mistakes are doomed to repeat them.
All that being said...again. I wish I shared your optimism. But history should tell you, Russians are not interested in diplomacy. They are interested in world domination and they want to see if Obama will allow them to swallow it up, one little piece at a time. We shall see.
This was directed at Bradley, but hey, 2 birds, 1 stone
Truth be told, you guys have morphed from angry hate mob to sore losers to disappearing desperados, all in one week. I almost feel sorry for you. Almost.
My comment was directed at "me" and she understood me...sm
I was hoping everyone would come together, no matter who wins, echoing her thoughts. She understood what I meant.
No offense intended.
The word hate is directed at you, gt. Get a clue as to your hatred. nm
time ojut, SS, My post was directed to Get Smart/sm
I agree with your comment about JM's goose egg and everything else you have posted today.
Intolerance goes both ways, and your post should be directed to all on this board....sm
not just the conservatives.
In fact, you yourself, have posted to the extreme pro-Obama, if I'm not mistaken. (unless I'm thinking of someone with a similar name, if so, a thousand pardons).
Depending on which day you come, either side of the political agenda has their say and sway, way to the extreme.
Some of us tend to be in the middle, sometimes more to the right, sometimes more to the left.
Myself, these days, I'm sick and tired of McCain, and still can't stand Obama.
But you and anybody else are free to have your say.
Just don't attempt to say it's all one-sided, because it's not. And if you were fair, it's usually one-sided in favor of Obama, not McCain.
I, personally, am sick of politics in general, all ways around, with no good candidate, really, on either side of the spectrum.
You're right, I cannot change your beliefs, not directed solely at you (sm)
But at anyone who supports partial birth abortion really. It is just an overwhelmingly horrible thought to me.
