That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do.

The meglomaniac rulers, especially those like Stalin, Mao, Fidel and obama have always had trouble converting the rural peasants to accepting their authority. We, who bitterly cling to our guns and religion, (we are independent and self reliant) are always the hardest to convince that some government bureacrat can make better decisions for us than we can ourselves.
Good folks there. The park where the Tea Party was held is the site of one of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates. Also, Bill Clinton spoke near there though he's much less significant. :)

Greetings from CR....Independence Day is Tuesday....which should be alot of fun to see. We've met so many wonderful people here, and made a couple of good friends too.
Oh yeah, I've located NB Southern Command. Ya'll be pleased to know we can have beach barbeques every day of the week. Pura Vida!
Truly. I'm working on my spanish, which helps, as the most prevalent item on the tube here is, naturally, futbol. Costa Rica lost to Mexico last week in the World Cup, it was a huge disaster and a national tragedy.
Actually, where I am staying right now, there are NO TV's in the rooms, a delightful turn of events. We can catch the US Open in the bar. Depending on the satellite options, I've seen ESPN, CNN International, AXN (oh man, CSI and all kinds of FX type shows)....the odd thing is, anything in English is subtitled in Spanish, and I find myself reading the spanish rather than listening.
Oh and a couple of fine Costa Rica facts. Tuesday is Independence Day....so this is a holiday weekend. You can never go wrong here ordering arroz con pollo (chicken and rice)...the food is not as spicy as Mexican, but it is delicioso! The people are amazingly friendly. I've never seen more beautiful countryside in my life. There are 27 distinct ecosystems here, you can go from rain forest to tropical desert in a matter of an hour. It took us 8 hours to drive from the SE corner (Manzanillo near Panama) to the NW corner on the Nicoya peninsula. The roads are FINE, navigating is okay once you get the hang of it (you have to go from town to town, street signs are non-existent, as are highway markers). Iguanas are everywhere, the squirrels are huge and stupid.
The national slogan is Pura Vida, and it is, truly. Pineapples are 3/$1.75. I've become addicted to papaya, watermelon, mango and pineapple for breakfast. It's the standard breakfast meal, along with eggs and black beans and rice. Everyone loses weight here....my mom was here for eight days and lost 12 pounds! No fried stuff, I suppose.
I'll be home later this week. Waiting for the sun to come back out (it's the rainy season here, but not even as rainy as Florida is right now) so I can continue to work on my tan.
What's weird is when the Libtards say, "I want my country back!"
What, did they get conservative and long for the "good ol' days" all of a sudden? Did they ever actually control this country? Was America once a flourishing bastion of Libtardism and I missed it?
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
Missed it by one number. I set the gps for 1100 Wishire it was at 11000 wilshire. BIG difference. Do I get an E for effort? Surface streets were a bear not good to be on the back end of the Firemens memorial at Dodgers stadium. By the time I got back to the right freeway it was too late. I was very dissapointed that none of the am stations carried any info. I had expected KFI to at least mention the rally.

Is this the best protest
September 13, 2009 - 09:34 ET by Jack BauerNo. Nice sentiment but it's way too long and convoluted.
Great POSTERS should be ten words or fewer if possible. Edit edit edit. Cut cut cut.
The way to honor the 3000 people hideously murdered by Islamo-Nazis on 9/11 is to ... PAINT A WALL, so orders President Obama, Whitewasher-in-Chief.
Agreed...

LOL-Yeah, the George Washington sign was excellent, and the one right underneath it was really good, too, as it expressed my sentiments to a "T."
Glad you all are having such a great time down in CR. Hope you got some great pics.
BTW-You gotta hurry up and get back, 'cause the Saturday Sports OTs just aren't the same without you being around.

September 13, 2009 - 13:37 ET by well99I think that sign is pretty cool.One I saw I liked also was
Its not a race issue
It not a party issue
It is a American issue
I think I got that right.That looked cool to me.
What's really funny is that...
September 13, 2009 - 14:12 ET by JRJ08What's really funny about this picture is that the little girl holding the sign probably doesn't have any medical insurance.
