Re: Things that are needed Downtown for the "Neighborhood".

A place for an urban "Target" or equivalent. How about the soon to be demolished "Shoppers Parkade" structure that occupies the block where Emery Byrd and Thayer once sat? Target/Walmart type of retail would certainly fit in there. It could be built with it's own sub-basement par...

Re: Things that are needed Downtown for the "Neighborhood".

Thought I would contribute to this thread by resurrecting a post I made way back in May '07, when when there was another discussion of this type. So this is a repost, of sorts.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Months back I started a...

Wow. If I disagree with Obama voters...I'm being "intolerant." I've heard it all. I didn't say anything about Obama voters. I am still taking exception to your flagrant characterizations of liberals, as if it's some form of moral perversion, harboring pinko inclinations, permissive attitu...

Re: Missouri Amtrak Service

To Dangerboy and DaveKCMO: There is a chicken and egg element involved in this question (Dangerboy's).  The money is likely to be there, but someone needs to get the process moving.  It is a certainty that neither Amtrak nor USDOT will mandate money and development for the Missouri route.  However, ...

Where have I stayed away because I didn't want to hear what the libs on this board said? Didn't imply stayed away , just saying that you are the most partisan and intolerant poster on this board, who went into high gear when Governor Palin was selected as running mate. You are also extremely suscep...

No, NO!

Obama is a perfect mixture of Pol Pot and Osama Bin Laden and Idi Amin, or, maybe Boddy Seale with David Duke style?

I'm not that great with all the facts you have, but please take it from here.

The only way it's going to work is for the Democrats to become the party of fiscal responsibility.  After W. there is a door open to steal that tag from the Republicans.  Become the party of eliminating the national debt and shoring up Social Security.  With W. being so terrible and doing much of n...

I think that a big difference in what people are talking about here, is where do you put your trust?  Supply side economics or demand side?  Demand side doesn't necessarily mean another New Deal, but it is about what, according to theory, will work.  There is no evidence that supply side economics ...

Re: Election 2008

I tokk the test. Rather than cut and paste the results (I'd have to do it again, and am too lazy) I'll just report that I was surprised to discover I fell in the Libertarian quadrant, exactly like Ralph Nader. I thought I was more of a leftist.  :shock:
