Re: [Goanet] More false facts exposed
The problem with this claim is that the Bush administration and the big govt. Republicans had full control of all houses of the government until 2006. We can definitely say that the Democrats blocked reforms from 2006 onwards. Bottom line: there is very little difference between the two parties. The US needs a true reformer like Republican Ron Paul.

[Goanet] More false facts exposed
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 10:42:06 -0800 (PST) From: Gilbert Lawrence Here is a detailed correction of the Time Magazine story.? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-fiderer/emtimeem-rewrote-history_b_168503.html Mario responds: This column is written by someone who describes himself as a "a lawyer and journalist", who selectively uses facts out of context and perspective to deflect any blame from the Democrats who were the primary culprits in starting [Jimmy Carter}, expanding [Bill Clinton], defending and protecting [Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, et. al.] the system that eventually collapsed into a financial crisis. This writers left wing political slant is clearly demonstrated by his description of Iraq as a "quagmire", a false description that was popular with left wingers and Democrats until it became obvious they were wrong. We now know the Iraqi government is firmly in control of the situation with minimal help, and getting stronger with every passing month. Even the feckless western Europeans who sat on their hands and did nothing to help in Iraq are now sending trade missions to try and access the lucrative contracts for its reconstruction.

Every-time I log onto Goanet, I am assured of: a) At least one email on the events of 1961. b) One email on how great Goa was yesterdecade. c) One email/picture on how terrible things are now. The email I am looking for, and which I can never seem to find here, is how Goans and the current residents of Goa are going to mold the future. Your link to the article pointing the blame on certain facts/individuals serves only to distract members from the future. Your link also serves another purpose. Those with extra-ordinary amounts of time on their hands will reply with a thousand word post that details why is was so important to spread democracy in Iraq. It also seems that every topic introduced here will end with Iraq and seven great years er, under Bush (43). Since I know you are more than capable of it, I am looking forward to more forward looking emails from you. Mervyn1650Lobo __ Instant Messaging, free SMS, sharing photos and more...

To follow-up on Edward's post. Now it is the world famous Time Magazine that has been called out for re-writing history about who is responsible for the financial disaster. Here is a detailed correction of the Time Magazine story. The article details the institutions and individuals responsible for the financial meltdown. This may be too detailed an article for the talking-heads and the ditto-heads. But those honestly interested in this once-in-a-lifetime event in history will find this article very informative. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-fiderer/emtimeem-rewrote-history_b_168503.html Regards, GL
