Politics & Government - 10 June 2006

I like Abraham Lincoln because I think nothing is more difficult then leading a country at war. I think a civil war would be the most difficult and at war over the moral and economic issue of slavery would be very difficult. What I found the most impressive about him was that when suspending habeous corpus during the Civil War he went to his Goverment and got their approval. I think rather then dividing the Goverment he unified it under one purpose, self perservation despite opposing veiws his focus was the unity of the nation, regardless of his personal veiws on the moral issues of slavery, he perserved the Union. He reinforced this veiw by not enacting crushing punishments on those states who chose the confederation but instead sought to welcome them back in as brethern.

Would Communism and Liberalism meaning "left wing" political structures i.e. socialism function under a single government or would it lead to difficulty? Is there a way for Communists and Socialists to somehow band together and possibly operate a single unified government by rotating from the Communist Party to the Socialist or Democratic parties every four years or so? Sorry for the unusual question...It was a thought that has been plauging my mind for sometime.

I was born in America - therefore, I am a WHITE (I'm not ashamed of it) AMERICAN WOMAN. Yes, I do have ancestors who are from Germany, Scotland, Ireland - so does that make me a German/Scotch-Irish American - hell no! If you were born in America, you're an American. Chinese, Mexicans, Iraqui, etc. - quit calling yourself an American if you're not an American - you were not born here, you came here to get rich off of Americans - go home or if you are going to stay here - LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH - OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE UNITED STATES! Blacks, where did this bullshit come about of calling yourselves "African"-Americans??!! You are black, I am white - we were born in America, so we're Americans --plain & simple. I am so sick of your whining about opression & being the minority, GET OVER IT! If anyone is the minority, it's the white race. I'm so sick of hearing about racism - you want to talk racism: BET channel, African-American book section in Wal-mart, NAACP, etc., etc.

A lot of people who criticize Islam and Muslims know next to nothing about both.

A lot of people out there are brain washed by the Jews who have tremendous hold over the media - electronic and print - in the US.

Islam is a very tolerant religion and majority of the Muslims are peace loving people.

If a Muslim happens to behind an act of terrorism, it is labelled Islamic terrorism. But when a Christian or Hindu is committing terrorism, it is NOT called Christian Terrorism or Hindu Terrorism. It is simply terrorism.

The Muslims in Palestine have been subject innumerable suffering. They are displaced and their homes destroyed. Muslims were not responsible for Holocaust. Why weren't the victims of holocaust settled in Europe. Why was a state carved out of Palestine for settling them.

When a Palestinian suicide bomber strikes in Israel, the State of Israel commits agression on hte innocent people of Palestine by aerial striking destroying their homes. This a state sponsored terrorism.

It's been in the papers for three days running that the former PM is complaining about the new PM for making changes. Is he feeling left out cause his former 'gang' has a new leader?

How do you feel when he says about the new PM..."you weren't my first choice" ? Does he have valid points or is he just going "Waaaaaah!"

It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'

In a recent press conference, George Bush was asked if he had made any mistakes during his presidency. He couldn't come up with any off the top of his head.

This guy I know says he claims 9 dependents on his taxes, and then after a few months he switches it to 0. It sounds illegal to me... But he says it's legal, and some of my teacher friends said it was legal too. Is it?

For example, a new policy proposal suggests the President be monitored by Federal Judges to be sure he does not violate the law, the way President Nixon did and President Bush is now doing violagting FISA and spying on Americans on American soil. I enjoy debating new ideas, however, not many other people seem to care. I think the majority of people have been dumbed down by the media, so the political class can maintain its monopoly on political power. What do you think?
