When has President Bush made a racist statement? If he is racist why would he appoint a black woman as secretary of state which is one of the most powerful appointments in his cabinet

People ignore Israel's secret torture prisons that hold many Lebonese, this was the main issue that gave Israel the pretext for thier actions i.e the Hizbollah resistence to Israeli oppression.

People ignore Guatanamo Bay in Cuba, Camp Delta, which is itself a sick psychological concentration camp.

People ignore the facts about why the US is engaged in all these squabbles in the first place. Is it to fight for freedom? PLEASE. It is for control and profit. It is a mafia hit, a totally scummy and ignorant act by a handful of University of Chicago grads. who had thier neo-con vison long ago.

Now that Americans have been dumbed down, and terrorized by our own leaders we follow.

This is how normal people can be convinced of such heinous crimes done in their name against others is justified. Remember, these people don't go away, we are now in the roll of bully, and if you think fighting has decreased, you are wrong, we will have to fight for a long time, your kids too.

I am no authority or scholar on this subject, but I cannot help but notice that defining people as either republican or democrat actually affects the ways these people think and react to eachothers ideas. It seems to me the only real conservatives and liberals are the far left and far right. Those in between who share many ideals and beliefs and are open minded enough to talk and debate rationally, really should not be called rep or lib, because it causes seperation between them as soon as they do. Is there room for a party in between republicans and democrats, or should they just be called the better, nameless americans? I would like to think of myself as fitting into this group. I mean, I hear people like Sean Hannity on the radio talking about far lefts and far rights, yet he consistently insults all ranges of the left, which to me makes him a far right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Isn't this bipartisan?

All Republicans are not conservatives......Why is this so hard for you to understand!All the great things politicians have ever done have been at the pressure of Liberal Republicans and Progressives from both parties.

Theodore Roosevelt- Progressive Republican
Abe Lincoln-Very Liberal Republican
Dwight Einsenhower- Liberal Republican
Bill Clinton- Very Progressive Democrat
John F. Kennedy-Progressive Democrat


Now the Jackasses!

Herbert Hoover- Conservative Republican
Woodrow Wilson- Very Conservative Democrat
George W. Bush- WTF!
Ronald Reagen- Conservative Republican
Richard Nixon-2nd Worst President ever
Andrew Jackson- Worst President Ever

I have a problem and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. Here is my problem: I'm tring to get my daughter's shot recorders from the doctor's office that I use to go to. Which now I've changed doctor's and I was tring to get the recorders from the old doctor so I could give them to the new doctor. But the problem is my old doctor will not give them too me because I have a bill with them still. I don't see why they can't give them too me. Isn't it illegal to with out that information? I mean my faughter is only going to be a year old and I need to shot recorders from my old doctor and they won't give them too me. And I've always thought that it was illegal to with out information from some one. I live in Philadelphia, PA if that help anyone to answer my question better. I really need some advice on what to do. I really don't want to get involved with a lawyer and all. Thanks.

VP Cheney doesn't seem to do too much especially when the President visits foreign lands then he seems to go underground like on Sept. 11. If he is needed to fill in for the President does he select a VP or does the speaker of the house take over in his job. Who is the speaker of the house presently?

I have a legitimate question to ask. I ask that you read all of it before posting, and seriously consider what you write down. Please refrain form silly, and ignorant name calling, and racist comments. I'm trying to see intelligent, thoughtful, sincere answers.

A country founded on the belief that any man or woman can make it with hard work and an honest job. They say that all people who walk on it's shores are free. They welcome diversity with words, but their actions slam the door on anyone who truly tries to keep that part of them that makes them unique.

My question is...why? Why shut out anyone who comes into this country (by any means) searching for that american dream that all people yearn for when they arrive? Can we not say "yes, you may work, and live free. See what we guard so harshly, and defend so ferverently."

I ask with all sincerity, why shun those who are the new dreamers of the american dream?

It tended to reject the Marxist notion of social classes and universally dismissed the concept of class conflict, replacing it instead with the struggle between races, and the struggle of the youth versus their elders

Fascism is also typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic. The fascist state regulates and controls (as opposed to nationalizing) the means of production

Fascism uses explicit populist rhetoric; calls for a heroic mass effort to restore past greatness; and demands loyalty to a single leader, often to the point of a cult of personality.



What single leader will Mexico, USA, and Canada be loyal to the point of a cultise eliteist?

So, even though we kill hundreds or thousands and they kill dozens, they are morally inferior.

No American should be griping about Israel, when not only is there a Washington Jeruselem consensus on these acts, the acts themselves have had full participation and encouragement of the US. Complain to your Senators and Congressmen not to eachother. Unless that is, you are indeed too brainwashed to understand the scenes unfolding daily on your screen.

Imagine if it were your family... hmmm.

I have, myself, asked questions to try to start conversations on a non partisan level about war, environment etc. I have asked REPEATEDLY for educated responses. Though I do get a few, I usually get people offering no sources and blaming one party or the other.

The underlying question to that I guess is: Why can't people read?

Oh, and another question....why is it when I point out that a conservative remark (such as: clinton is a commie) has no basis and they should have read the question, why am I automatically a liberal?

And a bad one at that?

Its really very simple as to how to solve this illegal alien problem. Pick a date certain that once reached will require that NO government services are to be rendered to any illegal alien. No medical care, No education benefits and No welfare PERIOD. Say six months before law goes into effect so that these illegal aliens can get there stuff packed and catch the first bus home. Anyone failing to vamoose after date certain is treated as a felon with a minimum of 1 years incarceration in a work camp and forfeiture of all ill gotten possessions while living and working as an illegal alien in the U.S. The simplicity of the solution is readily apparent. You wont get illegal aliens if you cut off the subsidies. I have one more less workable solution that could conceivably rid us of the Mexican Braceros. I propose a boycott of any American company that employs illegal aliens such as virtually all landscape and fencing companies.
