HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

Vice President Biden added to his lengthy list of gaffes Wednesday when he took a moment to honor the memory of the Irish prime minister's mother -- a woman who's very much alive.

"God rest her soul," Biden said as he introduced Brian Cowen and President Obama at a St. Patrick's Day celebration at the White House Wednesday.

The vice president was quick to correct the mistake, noting that it's Cowen's father who is no longer living.

"Wait ... your mom’s still, your mom is still alive. It was your Dad (who) passed. God bless her soul. I gotta get this straight," Biden said.

After citing the Irish proverb that "a silent mouth is sweet to hear," he then yielded the podium to Obama.


Not again, Joe. :frustrated:

He's just as human as everyone else Dragon, he makes mistakes. Or need we go through the enormous list of mistakes Bush made?

So, every time I post something stupid a liberal says or does, the left is going to refer to the old "Booosh did it too!" defense?

No, you just never seem to share it when conservatives make mistakes, so I just took it upon myself.

Or do conservatives not believe in Free Speech?

Oh, we do. We just don't think free speech means every one has to agree with you. Where exactly does it say that in the Constitution?

I think it is always funny when politicians say stupid things. I find it particularly funny when Biden does it, because he is such a self-centered egotistical ass. Has nothing to do with his politics. I have despised him ever since he publicly told people that he was the smartest person in the room and that's why we should listen to him.

It is funny when Quayle or Bush or Clinton or Obama say goofy things. Then it is just a mistake, or lack of skill speaking extemporaneously. In Biden's case, every time he makes a gaff, it is not just funny because of the mispeaking, it is funny because he is making himself look like a double ass.
