YIKES !
Such manipulation, fraud, negligence, corruption...
The same Bill and Hillary who did nothing to deal with the growing threat of Radical Muslim Militancy for 8 years, enabling the potential horror of 9-11.
It is unreal, to consider some are foolishly considering to return the Embarrassing Clintons to the White House again.
Pathetic.
Posted by: hnav at October 9, 2007 02:45 AMNot sure if you're a Neal Boortz fan, but he had this in his program notes yesterday. It's about halfway down the page. Right before it, he has AN ESSENTIAL STEP IN SAVING AMERICA that you might enjoy reading also. Here's a snipit:
It's ironic to me that the countries who suffered under the rule of Marx' worker's paradise have largely rejected so many of the tenants set forth in his Communist Manifesto, while the one country that held communism at bay for over 70 years and eventually destroyed it still embraces many of those ideas.

Thanks Shannon...one of my correspondents is a Boortz fan, and he's the one who sent it to me! I probably should have mentioned that Boortz had it on his site.
His statement that you quote is ironic indeed!
