Iran...
that's not isolationism. you speak of non interventionism. prolly, but you could have said that about obama when he was passing off his old pastors remarks as nothing serious. McCain fled Hagee's? backing quickly a month or 2 ago. just trying to keep an equal opportunity dissing fest here. lol
-
Iran...
YES! but...McCain doesn't seem very religious to me. both are terrible choices for different reasons. god no. that is scary. if they don't become states, i'm 300000% against it. that idea is why immigration is horrible.

New Chevy Cruze Spyshots, with Interior!
a manumatic.... does the cobalt have that now? think it's a new tranny? the interior reminds me of the buick.. center stack wise, edit:the interior is very NG lacross..... would GM really do that?
-
Cobalt name changing to Cruze
the name... not so much. if the car is a winner, it should fly off the lots.

Iran...
yes, but empires typically crumble under their own weight. we didn't need to dismantle it after they lost. turkey is supposed to be secular ran, and now they're in the news about a possible muslim government overtaking. ok, but unless they attack us over there, there is no reason to retaliate. UK, the middle class is being thinned because of taxes and living expenses ,while we pay their gov't for keeping the land (AKA free money for some land). ok, maybe not in france, but i'd not be surprised if we did. we have base( s ) in isreal, the middle east and we subsidize their gov't... instead of needing economic reform to make up for the money we give them. if you suddenly were making 10% less at your job , you'd have to prolly do something different, right?

Iran...
you know... I can't agree. cause are we baby sitting germany, UK, france, japan.... we have bases there and i don't think we baby sit them. our bases hurt us and prevent reform in those countries.

Iran...
as long as we're in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are the aggressors from their POV. Preemptive war is an oxymoron! 1) uh..kinda. more like we're their parent and have to sit down with them to hold talks with their neighbors... isreal has many nukes.. no one is going to start big $h! with them 2)please. breaking up the ottoman empire was the worst thing "we" did after ww1 in the area. 3)yes. Israel needs to let the palestinians be fairly included in the state, if it's to survive in way it is now. 4)prolly, IDK. yes, but it shouldn't be... it's kinda expected, right? along with how wimpy the dem's are to be the "opposition party". there is opposition to this trend, hoping the ranks increase in this coming election for senators and reps, cause most likely the president "we" pick won't be any big change ( provided a miracle doesn't happen. )

Range dropping from 600 miles to 360 miles?
absolutely, unless you're an astronaut with adult diapers. lol edit: wording wise, it will still go 400 miles total... 360 miles after initial charge. could also give them room to enlarge the battery a little, or just maximize cargo/cabin room I'd kinda like to know if they're trying to use HCCI for the motor.

Corn Ehtanol real cost
don't forget about all the pollution that comes from washed away fertilizer (which corn needs lots of). we've had a dead zone in the gulf of mexico, south of Louisiana for quite a while. increased need for fertilizer, more oil need, making both prices higher too. again, ethanol from corn, makes no sense. especially the subsidies we pay...increasing to $3 billion a year by 2012.

Cali fornia leads the way
this wouldn't be a problem if the EPA was shut down and people/businesses could be taken to court for REAL pollution.....not just handing them fees to pay.

Fuel Economy

Political Correctness

Political Correctness

Reviving Our Domestic Automakers
government has intervened for the past~40 years, at least. at least the way you phrased it makes it sound like it's new... or is never a good idea...
-
Happy Fourth of July!
YAY! hopefully ...haven't bought my gold/silver and a gun and ammo yet. LOL

So long, Irene
good post. sounds like she lived a long fruitful life.

Reviving Our Domestic Automakers
agree. on point 1, that's the same idea that we can drill our way to independence.....without nationalizing the industry. supposedly lots of the alaska oil gets shipped to japan, because it's more economical instead of transporting it down here. we don't want china to bail us out, we have to do that ourselves, other wise we'll be indebted to them forever.
-
Reviving Our Domestic Automakers
I got a 2 point plan.... for the government 1. open up trade...get out of WTO nafta cafta, make it totally open. tariff minimally. 2. get out of health care. this will drive prices down and limit how much gm / ford/ chrysler has to deal with it until they renegotiate. tada!

The best midsize Chevrolet in 30 years
i liked the car in my sig....only problem was the engine crapped at some point and was replaced with a rebuilt ..in 91 maybe? I still wish I could have kept it... but i think the frame may have had been bent slightly...? best midsize in 30 years... we are aware that that term has meant different things in that 30 years, right?
