We must progress

Posted: July 29, 2012 - 4:45pm

We cannot go back to the horse and buggy. We must use new technology to turn the wheels of the automobile.

You'll look good

pulling my rickshaw Che. I intend to become a part of the ruling class instead of a conservative.

Nope!

I'd never let somebody like Che get behind me!

What is this letter referencing exactly?

Alternative fuel? Fracking? I'm not sure where the writer is going with his call for progress.

Technique, you mean?

1. Do an internet search (google, etc) for an image which relates to the topic being discussed...In Fair's case, it was the Rik Sha...

2. Use html image tag to insert (I use notepad to do the initial part). In the comments section, the img is allowed and is the image tag. Paste in the img tag items between the less than and greater than symbol parts. Here's a more complete description...

Enjoy...

Meuhl

I think he's referring to the Chevy Volt. They're flying off the shelves.

Muelbau - Do You Know What the "That" was?

Muelbau - do you know what the "That" was in President Obama's comment? Read it and understand what he really said. Even Romney has expressed similar views - read those too!

I understand exactly what Obama meant...

...he thinks that people can't build anything without the government. I know this will be a novel concept for you statists, but individual efforts predate government. And I read his whole statement, so don't tell me I took it out of context. Obama should be thanking business for providing the funds that were used to build the roads and infrastructure, not clucking at them that they aren't doing enough to support a bloated entitlement nation.

With the help of Government Contracts

construction businesses helped build the infrastructure of the nation (and the foresight of leaders like Eisenhower who promoted the interstate highway system).

Muelbau - Yes You Did!

Yes, you did take it out of context. The "That" was the infrastructure that those businesses use. Once again you are shown to be a blind partisan who does not understand English too well.

You might also want to review the person in Romney's ad that later acknowledged government grants to help him with his business.

Spin it all you want, but you are wrong on this one.

Private Funds Build the Roads?

Really? What world do you live in? Is that how Eisenhower built the interstate highway system? Did private funds build the Tennessee Valley Authority? Did private funds build the Hoover Dam? You're unreal.

Danged right, JB

And those funds came from Obama's stash. Maybe his own personal stash, I don't know.
