I have noticed in most nations there is an ideological struggle between two groups (in general). The urban, more liberal ideology, and the rural more conservative ideology.

Population may rise faster in rural areas than in urban areas in terms of progeny, but the cities in nearly every nation in the world are gaining a larger percentage of the nations population.

I don't think we can accurately project this type of activity.

Actually, it is suburban, NOT rural. Please stop trying to paint conservatives as country bumpkin types.

GOP Tilting Balance Of Power to the Right

As Democrats tell it, this week's compromise on judges was about much more than the federal courts. If President Bush and congressional allies had prevailed, they say, the balance of power would have been forever altered.

Jimbo reports this like it is a bad thing?? :rotfl:

Actually AB, I wasn't trying to paint anyone, I was simply relaying information I learned about the political struggle of many nations in comparison to the United States.

I realize that my assessment is very generalized, and I think I even said so, it was not my intention to insult anyone.

I think you're being a little too emotional about this.

I don't know. The spread of Catholicism in the Americas was pretty successful during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Ok, with nowhere near the effectiveness that is obtained without a good deal of slavery and forced submission. :D

No, I am not. You did the same thing in the Technology forum and I had to post several moderator comments about it.

I am afraid you're assigning malice where none exists. I meant no offense.

Admiral,

How did you post two times in two different threads at precisely the same time? Inquiring minds want to know. :)
