Please recognize that the Iraq Study Group’s youngest member was older than Castle.
Although they deserve our respect, their viewpoints mean nothing to me.
Unless of course I can play them on my phonograph
The ISG was set up to give Bush a gracefull exit from Iraq. He passed and now the reccomendations useless. They might as well have said that we’ll be able to leave Iraq when corn is cultivated on the moon.
j,
yes because as far as history goes, we want 30 year old people making decisions verses people that have some years behind them and the ability to look at history. Because there is nothing worse then a 65 year old person that has seen ww2, korea, Vietnam and other conflicts to draw experienc from.
brilliant comment, I guess we should lower the driving age too? because really what does age matter?
If you are a conservative your comment is quite hypocritical but not surprising
if you aren’t I apologize for assuming (not for being NOT conservative though)
I thought he had a point. I guess I’m age-ist.
Anywayy DV –
Sorry about all the time stamp mix ups. I think wordpress is glitchy and at least partly to blame.
Wow. It is described and it appears. That’s what I call service.
hi will you be my friend plz
no worries, I blame the jews
and hitler too
by the way…did that car fall off the road after Ferris Wharton “clipped” it?

I’m not age-ist either, just practical. I wouldn’t get internet training and problem solving tech support from my grandfather.
The quicker folks realize that the various war efforts our subject to underlying web initiated support; be it messaging or money, etc. The quicker they’d realize this isn’t conventional warfare.
I will stick to my argument(although I didn’t spell it out) that the ISG only draws from conventional warfare experience. This unfortunately holds true for all of our Generals as well.
The internet did NOT exist as a tool for the current group of leaders pushing 60 and over. I’ll admit some can finally type an email and probably put a sentence together better than I in a blog, but they have no idea how to combat idealogy over the web…therefore bullets are their only option.
ISG recommendations as a guideline is more of the same.
Did you know that in England they laugh at us because our congresscritters and executive branchers are all so old? And age has nothing to do with knowing your history. Bush just turned 60 and he wouldn’t know a history if it jumped up and bit him. I’m in abject admiration of young brains that work fast and can remember stuff from one day to the next. The older you get the harder it is to learn. Castle is a prime example of this — he’s past learning anything.
Rebecca,
I don’t have a problem with having some younger blood to give a different perspective but a conservative bitching about old people is pretty hypocritical if you know anything about being a conservative
which by the way he didn’t deny.
I’m not bitching about older people, I have great respect for them, but I don’t defer to them.
People with recent experiences , training and education are best utilized to deal with today’s complex issues.
I am a conservative and proud of it. I am also progressive. The two can and do mix well.
Real core conservative issues and progressivism can mix.
• Fiscal responsibility.
• A strong and respected foreign policy.
• Conservation of undeveloped lands and wildlife.
• Free trade (that includes elimination of corporate welfare!).
Mixed with….
• Ample opportunity to higher education.
• Universal health care.
• Transparent governance (as it pertains to expenditures).
• Investment in Renewable energies.
OMG!!!! Sounds almost like the Clinton adminstration!!! Too bad he got a hummer, and Al couldn’t carry on the legacy.
OK, time for disclosure…where/who/what is the source of your editorial cartoon here? Did you do it?
This isn’t to gripe, but to give props to whomever. I like it! My bro is an illustrator and I am trying to get him to create one for a future post. He’s interested, but he ain’t getting paid! KnowwhatImean???
it is a guy I know in my other life as a traveling salesman. It was a pure business deal – he is no lefty pinko demoslamifascistsocrat like me.
demoslamifascistsocrat: try it, it’s supercalifragilisticexpialidotious!
“OMG!!!! Sounds almost like the Clinton adminstration!!!”
There goes Von Crackers again..you would think he would learn..
•” Fiscal responsibility.”
Courtesey of the Gingrich congress thank you.
“A strong and respected foreign policy”
Yeah, Somalia sure showed the world….especially bin Laden.
“Conservation of undeveloped lands and wildlife.”
Ok. Maybe this one. I don’t remember anything happening toward this…but just maybe.
• Free trade (that includes elimination of corporate welfare!).
Yeah, that NAFTA thing sure went over well..
Now on the liberal side….
“Ample opportunity to higher education.”
For only certain individuals and totally race-based. That is such a good way to handle things…
“Universal health care.”
Denied! Thank God! Or else we would be waiting two years just to schedule a phsycial. Lord help us if we were sick!
“Transparent governance (as it pertains to expenditures).”
Nice qualification. But a little proof might be in order on this one. An awful lot of Pork and earmarks flying around then too. Don’t believe me? Just count how many “Senator Robert Byrd ________” things there are. Fill in the blank with bridge, road, highway, dam, park, roller rink…whatever.
“Investment in Renewable energies.”
Probably buried in all that pork somewhere. You guys are the energy freaks…anything come from those investments?
Clinton inherited Somalia from George HW Bush. It is sort of like how George W. Bush inherited a strong economy and a huge budget surplus from Clinton.
Chris,
What were you like 14 when Clinton was Protus. Don’t regurgitate “talking points”. Advances in higher education were “totally race based”. That is blatantly false. As you mature you will realize that diversity is one of the most important aspects of being an educated person. When you can put our history, our policies, etc. into global perspectives you’ll start to get it. And no “unqualified” minority ever got anything for free just because their background or gender was considered.
And with universal health care we’d wait 2 years for a physical. Again that’s just not so. The average wait to see a specialist in France, Canada, UK, Sweden, etc. is less than two week. I do concede that in does fluctuate. But in the states you could spend two weeks on the phone with an HMO trying to get reimbursed for your office visit.
(If you diversified you studies you might know this. See what I mean.)
I see the Itemizer, the KING of Specious Arguments, is back!
I did say “Almost”, BTW. But you’re eagerness to fulfill your mental-masturbation probably kept you from acknowledging that. Shows a lot about your study and reading habits, and consequently, the excrement you spew forth…
Hey EVERYBODY!!!
