Democrats, really, still Blaming Bush?

I had a conversation with a customer, clearly Democratic, who once again blamed George HW Bush for all our Iraqi problems, stating that we wouldn't be in this mess if not for his interference in Iraq in search of "phantom" weapons of mass destruction. When I said it was the view of Republicans and Democrats alike that this was a threat he called me ignorant, and said I didn't know what I was talking about- the Democrats DEFINITELY did not believe or support the threat of WMDs. So to my learned friend, please allow this ignorant person to enlighten you with concrete, non-disputable, easy to corroborate facts, Please see the following list and see if any of these Democrats, who spoke out against Iraq and Saddam Hussein and his WMDs, and the need to ACT, rings a bell...

1. MADELEINE ALBRIGHT- Secretary of State under Clinton, 2/18/1998 at Columbus, OH Town Hall meeting
2. BILL CLINTON- President, USA, on 2/17/1998 at Arlinton, VA, addressing a Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon
3. HOWARD DEAN- DNC Chairman on 1/31/1998 on CBC/PBS "The Editors"
4. SANDY BERGER- National Security Advisor to Bill Clinton, on 2/18/1998 at Columbus OH Town Hall meeting
5. NANCY PELOSI- (D-CA) on 11/17/2002 on NBC's "Meet the Press"
6. JAY ROCKEFELLER- (D-WV) on 10/10/2002 on the Senate floor addressing the Senate
7. JOE BIDEN- (D-DE) on 8/4/2002 on NBC's "Meet the Press"
8.HARRY REID- (D-NV) on 9/18/2002 on CNN's "Inside Politics"
9. HILLARY CLINTON- (D-NY) on 9/15/2002 on NBC's "Meet the Press"
10.JOHN EDWARDS- (D-NC) on 1/7/2003 on MSNBC's "Buchanan & Press"
11. EVAN BAYH- (D-IN) on 3/7/2003 on Fox News "The O'reilly Factor".

In each and every one of these DOCUMENTED filmed interviews these leading Democrats spoke out against Saddam and his WMDs and our need to remove him from power or remove the threat he causes to America. So the next time you "well-informed" Democrats want to "get all up in my grill" and blame everything on Bush and the Republicans check the list and see what your "leaders" thought when it was politically correct to believe in WMDs. I'm just glad Bush had the kahunas to do what all these Democratic "leaders" felt was necessary but lacked the conviction to actually do something about it.
Rant over. Food for thought....

Personality Profiling...

Carl Jung developed the theory that everyone has their own distinctive psychological type which makes up their personality type. He developed sixteen different personality types, later further developed by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Meyers. There are four major catagories, and two sub catagories within each one. Every one falls into one of the sixteen types developed.

Personality typing is incredibly helpful in areas of growth and self-development. It also helps us understand those personality types we are best compatible with...

The four catagories are Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), Judging (J) or Perceiving (P),and within each catagory we are either Introverted (I) or Extroverted (E).

The different combinations possible that all fall into are:
ESFP ESTP ISTJ ISFJ ENFP ENTP INFJ INTJ
ESTJ ENTJ ISTP INTP ESFJ ENFJ INFP ISFP

Understanding your own personality type is a real an d effective tool in self discovery, and can further help us understand those around us. To learn more about personality typing, and even take the Briggs-Meyers personality test visit www.personalitypage.com .

IQ TEST

Your IQ Test
YOUR RESULTS =155. Genius Outstanding! Your score on the IQ test suggests you are well in the Genius intelligence range. Your score has placed you at the highest measurable levels of intellectual prowess. Ironically, intelligence research has found an unexpected tendency among the exceptionally intelligent to under-achieve, at least as far as the traditional academic and professional indicators are concerned. The smartest people seem to wind up living relatively modest and ordinary lives. Why? It may be that when you have an over-abundance of natural intelligence the ordinary elements of life can seem far beneath you as to be boring. Alternatively, this glut of intelligence can lead to mental indolence and “coasting” on one's natural abilities. Few geniuses really achieve the heights of success and achievement that we would expect the powers of genius to bring them. So, while you have achieved magnificently on this IQ test, take only so much comfort from your lofty score. Remember, it is far better to be actively striving toward success than to lie recumbently expecting it. THE MEANING OF I.Q.: I.Q. or intelligence quotient is a general assessment of your ability to think and reason. Your I.Q. score is actually an indication of how you compare in this ability with the majority of people in your age group. A rating of 100, for example, means that, as compared to the majority of other people in your age group, you have a normal rate of intelligence: Most psychologists consider those falling in the range of 95-105 as having a normal or average I.Q. There are many abilities which are not measured by I.Q. testing. For example, I.Q. does not measure musical talent, manual dexterity, or a variety of other abilities. However, I.Q. testing does give you an important indication of your ability to think, reason and solve problems. This is critical to your success in life. An individual’s overall intelligence is a difficult thing to measure in any absolute fashion. Human intelligence may be said to consist of literally hundreds of different and distinct mental abilities. And only a few of these may be measured through formal testing. Creators of IQ tests have attempted to isolate and measure only a handful of mental abilities which serve as likely predictors of achievement – namely logical reasoning, math skills, general knowledge, the ability to classify things, the ability to see analogies, and the ability to recognize patterns. Your score on this IQ test by no means reflects a complete picture of your intelligence. It does not take into consideration verbal, social or emotional intelligence, to name just a few. Nor does it measure all your intellectual potential. No IQ test can do that.
