--You are absolutely correct..... but we can't have it both ways... The last reduction in taxes was a large contributing factor in the debt doubling between 2000-2008. Meanwhile our expenses increas

I would expect you'd think that way.

Health care death panels.

Marriage tax.

Murder of the unborn.

The War on Christmas.

Appeasement of terrorists and communists.

Just to name a few...

Just couldn't contain yourself, could you?

When you get more specific and list these issue WITHOUT YOUR SPIN, then I'll be happy to respond.

How do you feel about a half-Muslim president ignoring the problem of Muslims hating airplanes and Christmas?

It's the worst crisis this country has known since the Pope secretly ran America through his puppet, John F. Kennedy.

Popery!!!!

That's already legal in Oregon.

Ok, in all fairness, here's a short list of items I think were hot buttons in the election for many of the true libs, and would like a score card on how you think the president has done on them and why you feel that way. ...and I'm looking for response from folks who self identify as a liberal, not an independant.

1. The Healthcare Bill as currently structured, as best you understand it right now.

2. The wars in Iraq and Afganistan.

3. The decision to try the 9/11 attackers in civillian/criminal courts.

4. The closing of (or the plans to close) Gitmo.

I look forward to seeing your responses.

--Give it up.... He had half-crazy Christian minister and you complained about that too.

PS: The Puritans did not celebrate Christmas or Easter but some here keep about pounding keeping the traditions of our forefathers. They also burned people at the stake for not believing as they did. I am very much a Christian but what you think was true is often a myth. The Southern Christians had no problem with owning slaves either.

Muslims hate airplanes ????? Seems like some of them love to use them as weapons.

I really, really hate getting involved in these, but the word stickler in me can't help it... The attackers, in the most appropriate sense of the word, would have to be tried in a sieve or an hourglass. You're talking about the people we're prosecuting for planning the attacks.

Don't assume anything about my politics... Just saying that all the people who actually carried out the attack are dead.

And that projected debt has almost quadrupled again in just the first 6 months under Obama... I bet you're REALLY mad about that!!!

(Oh, wait... he has a (D) by his name, so that makes it OK. Selective outrage.)

Nope... Everyone knows who was President when this economic mess started... It will be expensive to recover from it plus after the 5000+ DOW drop, the capitol gains are now nearly non-existant on tax forms which mean a lot less taxes will be collected as well... plus we have more un-employment expenses now as a result.... By collecting less taxes and having more expensives --- of course the debt will rise... We all know when this started...

Regardless, there is no plan to have a budget surplus ... evah. We're going to need increase taxes dramatically at some point if we're ever going to pay down any of this debt we've accumulated.

Or we need to need to spend less and pay off our debts. I dislike the idea that you have to raise taxes to pay off debt. I don't get to just increase my income if I get into debt.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
