    This cant be true

    OK, I'll go along with that to a certain extent. But the point the author is making is that Paul and Rockwell are closely associated and share a lot of common viewpoints. He does offer the reader a suggestion to visit Rockwell's website, investigate its content and make an informed decision...

    This cant be true

    ...but purposefully included the link to the entire article where any and all could read the whole thing including that complete paragraph. Note the LAST SENTENCE which you have conveniently omitted in your rant, but was actually included in my post. "I want to start my indictment of Ron Paul...

    This cant be true

    Keep in mind that when the original premise of someone's position can't be refuted, the next best response is to attempt to discredit its author or source, or start other attacks that attempt to change the focus of the discussion. But the fact remains that Ron Paul has a close association with...

    Newbie from Nashville, TN

    There are several smaller carriers around Nashville that you might want to contact: DMW, Crosstown, Able, Continental (in Clarksville), and there's one in Lebanon whose name escapes me. Also, the freight forwarders like Ceva, Pilot, etc. Tell them up front that you're looking for something local...

    This cant be true

    The Ron Paul Legion of Loonies: here's the main one introduced in a rather lengthy article that raises some questions and issues worth checking out. Let's face it - there are legitimate reasons that Paul has never been taken seriously as a presidential candidate by more than a single digit...

    This cant be true

    Just more nonsense coming from Ron Paul's Loony Legion.

    The Game

    Something to keep in mind is the size of the company you're driving for and the marketing plan they have in place. Suppose you're with a smaller company that's trying to expand their customer base and increase their fleet size. The ideal way to do this is for them to develop loyal customers who...

    Somalia famine: UN warns of 750,000 deaths

    There you go again - putting YOUR SPIN on MY POST, reading all kinds of concocted transgressions (based on your values) into what I wrote even though nothing of the sort was stated or implied. As usual, the entire exercise is woven around your trademark petty ad-hominem cheap shots that were so...

    Somalia famine: UN warns of 750,000 deaths

    With football season just starting, one wonders how many millionaire athletes of African descent are there in this country? How about entertainers, rap stars, etc? Considering the amounts of disposable income they have, wonder how much they've sent to places like Darfur, Somalia and all the...

    Md. judge rules Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    The decision stinks, but it's probably best not to get too excited about it. It's just another step toward the Supreme Court, which was exactly what the prosecutors anticipated.

    Somalia famine: UN warns of 750,000 deaths

    My post had no spin at all - it pointed out the fact that in 7 of the top 10 failed states the population was over 50% muslim according to the joint project done by Foreign Policy and Fund For Peace. However, that brings up a question based on the opposite perspective: how many countries with a...

    Somalia famine: UN warns of 750,000 deaths

    There might not be a single characteristic cause of all failed states, but one common thread in MOST failed states might be corruption and/or incompetence at the head-of-state level resulting in the maladies spelled out above Just an observation: seven out of the world's top ten failed...

    T-Party wants to see Blks Hung??

    Suppose a Congressional White Caucus was organized - would that be objectionable? How about a Congressional Jewish Caucus...or Eskimo Caucus? The whole concept of one particular race having it's own caucus in Congress is racism in the extreme. The problem is that every time someone like this...

    Fast and Furious: US officials resign over gun sting

    There are striking similarities between this mess and the Iran-Contra mess during the Reagan presidency. You can bet your bottom dollar that if this had happened during the Bush administration the Democrats and the MSM would have been screaming for a special prosecutor. Hopefully, the GOP is...

    New Sticker for the back of my Van..

    The problem is that customers don't see the title - all they see is LOAD 1 and the message stickers. Most of the time the guys in the warehouse and on the dock don't control carrier selection. But in some cases they do - and when that individual is sitting at his desk about to reach for the...

    US 'wasted $30bn on Afghanistan and Iraq' over decade

    Iran is not a real threat - yet. Once they develop a nuclear device we - and the rest of the world - will have a real problem. Hopefully, their immediate neighbors along with Israel and the new American leadership in 2013 will keep that from happening.

    Obama is "Unpatriotic"

    Remember the Clean Air Act? The one that did away with leaded gasoline? The additives that replaced lead were way more expensive to add to the refining process. At roughly the same time we also had the Arab/Opec oil embargo that reduced supplies and led to rationing in the mid 70s. Also, let's...

    Detroit SWAT team assaults Mom for taking on the CPS

    Just imagine the scenario - active, intelligent kid goes to school and gets assigned to a class taught by an incompetent teacher that barely graduated from college (imagine that!). Kid gets bored, starts acting up, teacher is in over his/her competence level, gets frustrated and decides kid...

    Hey Dad, it's Uncle Onyango blow'n a .14

    Maybe the US Govt will place him under house arrest, and arrange quarters in the White House with Barack Hussein Obama's mother-in-law. Sounds like BHO's uncle has a taste for the Demon Rum similar to his brother. What the heck - Jimmy Carter had his brother Billy to provide comic relief.
