Politics & Government - 20 August 2006

I've traveled to many different countries in South America and Europe and a lot of these countries supposedly hate the US.

However, whenever I go there I'm welcomed with open arms and people seem to LOVE the fact that I'm from the US.

Is this just one big lie or have people actually been treated badly internationally because they are American?

Why don't Americans respect the law and their enforcement officers. What's it like in other countries?

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) decried, “We’re at war, and for the far Left-Wing Liberal N.Y. Times to release information about secret operations and methods is treasonous.”

“In my opinion, that is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, therefore it is an act of treason."

Whose side is the far Left Wing Liberal ACLU supporting Democrats on anyway? And what version of the US Constitution do they adhere to?

Article Three of the U.S. Constitution defines treason as, "Levying war against the United States or "in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort," and requires the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court for conviction. Depending on the circumstances, treason is punishable by death or imprisonment of not less than five years and a fine of no less than $10,000. A treason conviction also precludes one from ever holding public office".

What say you?

Liberal repies please refrain from:
1 - Name calling
2 - Personal attacks

It seems to me that the conservative answers are consistantly worth more points than the liberal answers. I wonder why that is? Then again should I really wonder? Yahoo is the same company that is willing to cowtow to the Bush administration and give out the personal info of it's members in the pursuit of 'terror and national security'. What a d*mn joke!!!

Osama is the creation of the US government just like saddam hussein. I beleive his main purpose was to get rid or remove kings from saudi arabia and introduce "american democracy" in the kindom. The americans trained Osama and armed him. But something went wrong!!!! and Osama turned against them. If you play with fire you are bound to get burned. America wanted Osama to oppose/change by any means necessary' the saudi system of governance and labelled this as legal. As soon as Osama opposed them with their training and weapons they label him a terrorist? Why? They want to install "puppet democracies in all the countries in the world". Sorry will never happen. They want to play god with the life of citizens of other nations. They armed and trained saddams army so that Iran could be destroyed but this did not happen. Any supprises that there is no love lost between the two countries. One day isreal will turn against america and that day is not too far then we shall see what happens.

~My child was stolen out of my home in the middle of the night! The people that did this lied on their statements and got out of it some how and turned it around on me! One of the people had called CPS and told then a huge lie about my brother. I'm going into the State register for child abuse/maltreatment! I don't understand! There were 3 other people in my house when this all happened! They were all sleeping when she had snuck in and grabbed my child up and rode around until my boyfriend found them and retrieved my child. CPS put a lot of crap into my brothers head and we think that may have been the reason for his suicide. I'd like to get the truth out of them and prosacute them ALL! Even the cops involved! I want revenge and justice......to us all. There Should have been a lot of tickets handed out that night to all the people involved....., Hmmmmmmmmmm. Makes me wonder what happened.~

Have you seen the Governor of California in all his magnificent glory yet? What do you think of his speedo? Cute? What do you think of the people of California for electing him? Do you think Governor Schwarzenegger looks dignified in his little speedo? Why or why not?
