  1. Interesting that this is the actions of innocent little princess, don't you all agree ???
  2. Nothing is happening BB, she is naked but Paul is Paul you know !!!! but you have my word I will keep an eye on them for you !!!!
  3. 1010, we are no different in how we feel about humanity, I am a moderate as well. I have had 11 boarders in my home since the passing of my wife, all of them for counselling, for either drug abuse or alcohol abuse. I have tried to give them the path to freedom from bounds of abuse. I helped to get them gameful employment, and after a period sent them off succeed on their own. With pretty good success rate that I am very proud of, only two have fallen out of the 11. I have my views, and don't care what political party you are affiliated with, I care about people. I hope maybe this helps you understand the mid western republicans a little better.
  4. Oh my gosh 1010 Clinton's boom was just the internet revolution, and then subsequent bubble that burst during Bush's first term.. that is all 1010, that was boom that you speak of made his presidency. and please do not talk about deficit spending OK. My family became quite well off during the 80's, and not because of big oil, but just the exact opposite. My father was a wildcatter, the policy reversal of deregulation versus regulation of the Hugoton Natural Gas field, allowed him to now purchase leases on the mineral tights at a competitive price against the big oil companies, therefore allowed him to drill wells we he could have never before. 1010, I don't think of you any differently we just have different political views. that is all.
  5. He is an actor, how the hell can an actor be a good President? He is just businessman, How the hell can a businessman be a good President ? Sounds somewhat familiar !!!!! In a dog eat dog world, only the strong survive, WE the US are perceived as weak in the world, soon we will have a choice, are we going to try to become strong again, or are going to remain weak ? Just look at how strong have eaten us alive around the world ??? This countries best and most notable Presidents in history, all had one thing in common, THEY DIDN'T TAKE SHIT FROM ANYBODY, BUT STOOD ON PRINCIPAL AND DIDN'T WAIVER !!!!!! No matter what party they were affiliated with.
  6. But political leaders are, thankfully, not necessarily lawyers. Their job is to define the terms of the debate. They should leave the details to, well, people like me. Any effort to go down into the weeds has two fatal consequences for the politician who wants to be a statesman. First, it narrows the scope of the principle so that the general public can no longer figure out where their political leader stands. Second, the public emphasis on minutiae presents the image of the postmodern man consumed by doubt and devoid of inner conviction. Leadership cannot thrive on nuance or uncertainty. It depends on unshakable commitments to sound principles. That is where Ronald Reagan excelled as a president. On the domestic front, Reagan insisted that the essence of a free society rested on these key building blocks: individual freedom, personal security, limited government and states' rights. The political theorist in me says he misfires on every point: His respect for freedom does not talk about the need for taxation or the regulation of public utilities, each worthy of a lifetime of study. Bald claims for personal security make no references to the limits on self-defense. Even the most limited of governments have their work cut out in providing national defense, preserving order and maintaining infrastructure. States' rights overlook the need for a federal government to preserve a national market, and to counter local forms of racial and social intolerance. But these details do not define presidents whose job is to control public discourse by setting the right starting points. The values articulated will in the end become presumptions that should yield in time to prudent exceptions. But the key insight is that free society has to start with the right presumptions. It must reject the absolute power of the state to impose whatever laws it conjures up in the name of community and the common good. Those starting points play out in concrete cases. Perhaps the most dramatic incident of the early Reagan years was his confrontation with the more than 11,000 air traffic controllers he fired in August 1981 when they refused to return to work. Reagan broke a union.
  7. Mr.1010, I do not agree with a lot of what you say, and we certainly are different on our political views: 1st lets about one of the greatest presidents this country has had in the last 50 years OK. We will just start with ten accomplishments and leave his wife out it, who absolutely would run circles around this wantabe HILLARY. 1. Ending the Cold War: The Cold War had raged since World War II and communism‘s quest for world domination remained an existential threat to the United States when President Reagan took office. Reagan reversed the policy of detente and stood firm against the Soviet Union, calling it the Evil Empire and telling Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” in Berlin. He was relentless in pushing his Strategic Defense Initiative and gave aid to rebels battling Soviet-backed Marxists from Nicaragua to Angola. Those efforts were critical in the ultimate collapse of the Soviet empire and essentially ended the Cold War. 2. Reaganomics: Reagan’s mix of across-the-board tax cuts, deregulation, and domestic spending restraint helped fuel an economic boom that lasted two decades. Reagan inherited a misery index (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) of 19.99%, and when he left office it had dropped to 9.72%. President Obama take note: Under Reaganomics, 16 million new jobs were created. 3. Revitalizing the GOP and the conservative movement: The Republican Party was at its nadir after Watergate, but Reagan was able to form a winning coalition of fiscal conservatives, family-values voters, blue-collar Reagan Democrats and neo-conservative intellectuals and set the stage for future GOP electoral gains. His free-market, small-government, pro-liberty conservatism helped to revitalize the GOP and his influence resonates today as conservative candidates still invoke Reagan as their standard-bearer. 4. Peace through Strength: The military was diminished during the Carter years, but Reagan reversed that by rebuilding the armed forces. His Peace Through Strength philosophy was manifested by his reviving the B-1 bomber that Carter canceled, starting production of the MX missile, and pushing NATO to deploy Pershing missiles in West Germany. He increased defense spending by more than 40%, increased troop levels, and even got much-needed space parts into the pipeline. Those efforts ensured that America remained a military superpower. 5. Morning in America: It was basically a slogan for Reagan’s 1984 reelection bid, but Morning in America symbolized a new beginning for the country. Reagan’s jaunty optimism and an economic boom was a much-needed tonic for a country that had experienced the malaise of the Carter years and the traumas of Watergate and Vietnam. 6. Star Wars: Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative was derided by his opponents as being technologically unfeasible, but the mere threat of the U.S. building the system was instrumental in the Soviet Union’s collapse. The successful use of Patriot missile batteries in the first Gulf War proved the critics wrong, and the missile defense system that ensued has lessened the threat of ballistic missiles. 7. Nuclear weapons cuts: Even as massive demonstrations were held in Europe against Reagan’s hawkish stance on nuclear arms, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty he signed with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev eliminated an entire class of nuclear weapons. He also laid the framework with Gorbachev for the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which reduced both countries’ arsenals of nuclear weapons. 8. Voiced values: Reagan gave voice to the values that had served America well—thrift, patriotism, and hard work—and often recounted the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. He also championed the causes of the pro-life and family-values movements that sought to counter the societal upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. 9. Tax reform: Not only did he cut tax rates, but the Tax Reform Act of 1986 simplified the income-tax code by eliminating many tax shelters, reducing the number of deductions and tax brackets. Reagan’s dream of tax returns fitting on a postcard has been nullified as Congress has regressed and continued to make the tax code more complex, necessitating a new push for reform. 10. Taking on PATCO: Early in his administration, members of the federal air traffic controllers union (PATCO) went on strike, violating a federal regulation. Declaring the strike a “peril to national safety,” Reagan gave the workers an ultimatum and ended up firing more than 11,000 of the controllers, sending a strong signal that union workers needn’t be coddled. It is not difficult to identify the principal initiatives for which Ronald Reagan will be remembered. After a decade of national defeatism and doubt, he strode into office in 1981-confident of America's ideals and promise, and of the ability of his countrymen to conquer their malaise. He instituted startling tax-rate reductions and other measures that have produced (his supporters argue) the longest peacetime economic expansion in the history of the United States. In foreign policy he initiated a massive rearmament program to contain Soviet imperialism and expounded America's democratic faith without shame. In doing so he broke, without fully dispelling, the debilitating grip of the "post-Vietnam syndrome" and the mentality of "blame America first." In the realm of social issues, he set out deliberately to curb the "imperial judiciary" and reorient a left-leaning Supreme Court. Not all of his accomplishments were so programmatic. Perhaps equally significant is the fact that during the Reagan years principled, articulate conservatives gained unprecedented access to executive power and to the nation's policy-making elite. The Reagan Revolution of 1981 was not a conventional shift in legislative priorities and personnel; it was an intellectual challenge that undermined the sanctity of the status quo. It did not overthrow that status quo; Reagan never had the votes-or perhaps the intent-to do so. But his administration for at least a time altered the terms of public debate and tarnished the intellectual pretensions of social democracy. In these subtle but influential ways Reagan altered American politics more than he did public policy. Eisenhower's Augustan Age How,then, will Ronald Reagan go down in history? As a conservative Roosevelt who redirected America's course for half a century? As a second Coolidge of liberal caricature who fiddled while the economy burned? As a benign, Ike-like grandfather who ruled for an insignificant interlude during America's inexorable march toward socialism? As a rejected prophet like Wilson whose vision triumphed only after his death? My own hunch is that an Eisenhower analogy may be the closest one-although not the analogy dear to yesterday's liberals. A generation ago, when Eisenhower left office, he was widely disdained by "the best and the brightest" as an aging golfer whose presidency had brought little but stagnation. It was time, his youthful successor asserted, to "get America moving again." The sequel was the hubris and tragedies of the '60s. Only now, a generation later, have historians begun to perceive Eisenhower as an effective, "hidden-hand" executive who governed during what in retrospect appears an Augustan age. Will historians someday gaze similarly on our own decade and its dominant public figure? No one can say. But I do venture to predict that our 40th president will be adjudged a singular statesman, and for a reason few of his critics understand. As the finest political orator of our era, Ronald Reagan reaffirmed with eloquence the continuing validity and vitality of the American Dream. In this more than in any policies or decisions lie his legacy and enduring claim to greatness.
  8. YES, Darnita is extremely talented young lady if you take the time to really watch her, she is probably most accomplished musician next to guitargst on all of RLC. She is on hell of violinist, and I would love to see her spend some time with Nelly, and help to become an accomplished violinist as well. She is very beautiful, has tremendous sex drive, and has turned Efim into a different person than he was with Diana, I loved Diana as well, the best voice on all of RLC, but the relationship between her and Efim sucked, and ultimately failed. The relationship that Efim and Darnita have has developed into a strong, trustworthy, loving, and caring relationship. Of all the couples we have seen in Nelly and Bogdan's apartment, these two certainly deserve the chance. WE could do far worse, and get another Chole and Joshua instead I guess !!!!!!!!! Darnita is Suix and stands for "drawn with a lance".
  9. Thank you Kitek, 23 yrs old really... interesting information.
  10. I just have one thing to say Corbo, remember Normandy Beach, the band fascists, racists and white supremacists of, and printing was swimming ku klux klan, saved you grandparent ass so you could live as free country again, and say the uniformed opinionated statements above. How soon we forget the sacrifice all of the Americas made to help rid the real evil dictator the world has known. If we do nothing, this very well could be what happens again, and this time we won't rebuild Europe, you the Europeans will have to do it yourself. GOOD LUCK !!!!!
  11. Here is my take on Walmart and Sam's club, I too do not go to either one. I for many years served as volunteer on local youth sports club. (KIDS INCORPORATED) This is 501c3 non profit organization that provides the youth in our area the opportunity to participate in youth athletics for free, both girls and boys sports from time they are 8 yrs old until they are in 7th grade or 13 yrs of age. This program was created in 1964 and continues today through donations, grants, and fundraisers, and the last year I was president, there were over 3000 kids that participated in the various programs. We were given the miniature golf course that is in the park by the community building in the central park of our city, We chose as board to build new fun and family oriented miniature golf course. Total price tag was to be about 80,000 dollars to construct. We began our fundraising campaign, and of course approached the local businesses and foundations for help. Walmart and Sam's club advertise that give back to the community, I approached them on several occasions and went through the application process 3 times. Each time to be denied, Not once did they even send a real explanation as why we were denied, just the generic BS, so being on another local board that promotes the city and is the oversight committee for the 1 cent sales tax collected, I found it quite interesting of our local community 19.6 percent of all retail business was transacted, at the either the local Walmart or the Sam's club stores combined. $180,963,000 dollars gross revenue for that year in question according to the tax rolls. They sure as hell didn't give anything back to our community, and I have not stepped one foot inside a Walmart or Sam's club since. They are simply full of shit from CEO's all way to how participate in the community. I am not surprised at all by the comments of this woman, she obviously has issues, and should never reached the position of CEO in this, or any company. Pretty damn good explanation as to why we are getting our ass handed to us in the cooperate world. What happened to the best person for the job mentality? No lets be politically correct and lose our asses. Appearing on CNN Brewer let loose with her comments about diversity of the hiring process and condemnation of white males, stating; “It has to start with top leadership, my executive team is very diverse and I make that a priority. I demand it within my team.” She continued; “Just today we met with a supplier and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males, that was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with (the supplier’s) folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.” Ironically this so-called CEO decided to place a call privately and discuss a seemingly sensitive issue with her supplier, however seems perfectly fine in going before national TV and discuss that same sensitive issue…I do hope Hillary is taking notes.

  18. FERRARI Ferrari Ferrari Economy Economy Speaks volumes doesn't it, enough said !!!!! Ferrari vs Economy
  19. Happy, I would say they (Penthouse "K") have blown by them to the top spot on RLC, like Ferrari would blow by a economy car on the autobahn, just cruising in the fast lane.
  20. Mike04 using the word whore is very demeaning, and since there is no evidence of such activity outside of them having more than one phone, I would certainly refrain from using such words. The girls are home most nights, and they go out and have fun a few times a week, wouldn't you if you were in the a party town like Barcelona Spain? I do not find their activities the least bit suspicious. I do find them quite immature at times. Let me ask you a question, have you ever been with escort?
  21. Well Noldus she didn't get much sleep, the returned home around 4:30 am then spent nearly an hour in the bath together, it was close to 6 am when she went to sleep. I was surprised she is up so early this morning, she must have something very important going on today,
