I try and overlook that, since I agree with 90% of what is posted here. I don't post at Freerepublic because of two reasons...(1) I don't agree with 90% of what is posted there and (2) They will not allow different opinions. So my question is this.......Are you trying to ridicule Liberals, Progressives, and Libertarians or are you trying to convince us we are wrong and you have a better way? Maybe we should just make two countries. Since Liberals and Progressives make more money, who will pay for the roads, infrastructure, and divorces that are higher in Red States? Also, who will pay for the higher crime that happens in Blue State cities? Should we just say we are in this together, and need everyone on the same page as far as the human race?

I lived in NYC from 1987-2005 and worked in the WTC for three years. Many, many people in the city were disgusted by Bush's appearance. He ignored the city for four days after the attacks, finally visiting at the end of the week. His treatment of NYC has been consistently shitty since then.
