Pilot's Political Orientation

Actually, it's another from Winston Churchill (who as I remember
changed political party himself, probably at age 30).

Actually, it's probably not. This from the authoritative Churchill Centre
website http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/...fm?pageid=112:

"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a
conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record
of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University
makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed
to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he
have talked so disrespectfully of [his wife] Clemmie, who is generally
thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"

If that's the case, why does AOPA continue to push so hard for all those GPS approaches
to small airports?

Because they support all GA aviation, not just the average 182 pilot.

Correct. They want to just take other peoples assets and keep them.


Wrong. Conservatives don't want to take other peoples assets at all.

Errr, then explain again how we're financing the current war?


Do you think redistributing other peoples assets is financing the war?

And the "conservatives" are different, how?

Conservatives object to excessive government spending,
especially when it is used to force social engineering.
Brian Riedl at the Heritage Foundation notes (quoted in part):

The federal government is projected to spend $21,671 per
household in 2004 — the most since World War II and $3,500
more than in 2001. Here is a breakdown of where that
$21,671 goes:

-Social Security and Medica $7,165
-Low-income programs: $3,479
-Interest on the federal debt: $1,460
-Federal employee retirement benefits: $835
-Unemployment benefits: $451
-Interest on the federal debt: $1,460

-Defense: $4,240, Veterans benefits: $565

-Health research and regulation: $619
-Education: $583
-Highways and mass transit: $400
-Justice administration: $389
-International affairs: $320

The programs listed above cover $20,506 per household. The
remaining $1,165 is allocated to all other federal
programs, including farm subsidies, environmental
programs, space exploration, air transportation and
community development.

Then why the fight against gay marriage?


What fight against gay marriage?



Why the fight against abortion?


Because all current abortion methods kill a child. When an abortion
procedure is developed that does not kill the child the fight against
abortion will end.



Why the fight against pr0n?



What's pr0n?



Conservatives are all for the rights of corporations to dump waste oil
into fresh water supplies, for the rights of employers to force their
workers to take horrrible physical risks and then not be compensated
when they're injured.

They're in favor of telling women what they can do with their bodies, in
favor of snooping in private bedrooms, in favor of snooping on people's
computers.

The way things are going, the only good conservative, is a dead one, and
in case you're wondering, I'm 53 years old. I see what happens when
idiots like Chimpie are in power. Or evil criminals like Reagan and
Nixon.


As I said, you've bought the propaganda and rejected the facts. Open your
eyes, open your mind.

Seems a number of people have forgotten that liberalism has abandoned
liberal principles. Modern liberalism is just monarchy dressed up in new
clothes. It was not so long ago that the people who today call themselves
liberals were called aristocrats and Tories.


Bingo. Few people today understand the differences between classic
liberalism and modern liberalism. They are polar opposites.

Earlier you said "average G/A" pilot, now you're saying "average 182 pilot." So, does that
mean that G/A, overall, needs all those small airport GPS approaches?
