No. Forward is still the Wisconsin State motto. Obama never was Scott Walker. That was just a campaign camouflage, sort of like using buck lure to hide your human scent when the game is afoot.
Wiley would rather have politicians and pundits stand for nothing, sway with the opinion of the day, and constantly change their minds. Come on Wiley! Which is it? “Stand your ground” or “follow the polls”?
The most international support there is for military intervention is from the Arab League. And why not? They’re literally next door. Yet they won’t do anything themselves when it IS their lives on the line, but expect the U.S. to take the risk for them.
Using this blue print ,the Obama regime could effectively land the country in a far worse place than the bottom of the fiscal cliff and Obama would be quoting Hogan’s Heros " My name is Sargent Schultz I know nothing" FORE!
@Sturmmi14Watch Faux Noise ( which I am sure you do religiously ) or Glenn Beck for your daily diet and diatribe of false facts. In fairness, MSNBC ( Must Somehow Negate Blasted Conservatives ) does its fair job of fitting facts to fictions, as well.Like Wiley, I take no stand, other than to point out the ludicrous pomposity and verbosity and single-mindedness of pundits and politicians on all sides.
For anyone who cares – and I really don’t – words are used to express emotion, ideas, opinion etc. I often write and miraculously get paid for it. What I write is always subject to interpretation by the reader.Most times, I deliberately chose the words I use, typos, grammatical errors (made at 1:30 am ) notwithstanding – in the real world, that’s what editors are for.For my Conservative Critic, getting into a semantic argument ranks even lower on my list of pleasures – below even root canals, or examinations of a proctological nature. I have mentioned before, my handle Linguist is a rather inside joke that refers more to my abilities to communicate in several languages and dialects, than it does my command of English grammar.I am by nature ironic and enjoy satire. I am apolitical which is one of the reasons I’ve become an expat again. While I am an avid news hound, I eschew all American major network affiliations for national news, preferring PBS, BBC, Al Jazeera, and several other international sources for balance. I try to remain neutral politically and socially but some of the moribund commentators just beg to be rebutted or lampooned because, to quote Shakespeare " They become the argument of their own scorn… "

I looks like some people haven’t realized that by automatically attributing this to the other side they’re doing exactly what they’re mocking.

What Wiley missed was all the people at both ends of the car pulling as hard as they can. Not to worry….they’ll never reach that wall.

Why do I get the feeling that Wiley is going to come in here to break up this fight and clarify his point?

On the other hand, some politicians change direction faster than a weathervane in a tornado.

So what you’re saying is “philosophical terms” are the new “false or unfounded reasons.”

Better to be a moderate and do what’s right than either Democrat and screw things up or Republican and screw things up almost as bad.
