It is an insult to my sense of honesty and common sense that over 1000 Commerce Dept employees just walked off with a laptop containing millions of records of American citizens. Who is watching the store. Do they have no system of inventory control? Has anyone gone to jail for theft?

Many of you Liberals have requested that I not generalize. I am not trying to critisize any one I am really interested to hear what people have to think. So PART 1: What is a liberal view point on our current forign policy on the war in Iraq? and please try to avoid retarded comments like "The war is wrong" I have heard it and it tells me nothing. How would a liberal should he/she be elected next term deal with the issues that are presently at hand in Iraq? P.S. I know my spelling sucks I am an uneducated Con right. Save it for a senceless entry enter only solution here.

Clearly Bush has lied to the American people. He has conducted what looks like an endless "War on Terror" (whatever the hell that means).

I feel great trepidation for our childrens children and beyond. So I feel we must elect someone who has the tenacity and foresight to see what is going to happen in the UK in the not too distance future. Some one who will not sell us down the line.

However, do you think that I am on the wrong track here and think that it is enivitable that the UK has to be integrated into EU and lose it's identity completely and become one big family within Europe.

My question would be why? We are unique as are the Spanish, the french and every other country. Could you see these countires wanting to lose their identity? No I doubt it very much. So come on lets us make a stand for the rights of the UK. It's not in our nature to be trodden underground

After all, way more terrorists and insurgents are being formed everyday than is possible to kill.
What are your thoughts?

.What makes anybody think that stepping across an imaginary line on the earth qualifies them to be a citizen of that country?. They come into our country without going through any official procedure at all not even disease control. A deadly epidemic could well cross our border and be well on it’s way to wreaking havoc on millions of people before we even knew about it. Millions of uncontrolled and undocumented people crossing our border is madness. Nothing good will come of it and the potential for disaster is overwhelming.Eventually the sheer numbers of unskilled workers will reach critical mass and the lid is going to blow off unless the lid blows off a nuclear suitcase bomb first.

I am a die hard conservative and would like to hear liberal answers to modern issues like foreign policy and our budget problems (I.E. deficit and dept), as well as what a liberal would think should be done about our current laws.

Hugo Chavez's U.N. speech seems to vocalize what many Democrats and liberals feel. Presumably for political safety, they are rushing to defend the president. How do you feel about that?

Pamela Lawton and her two daughters, 7-year old Joshalyn, 8-year old Jasmine, and two other children ages 2 and 3 were approaching the intersection at Kentucky Street and Negley Avenue when a Pittsburgh Police cruiser signaled for her to pull over.

“I said, ‘What's the problem, officer?' and he said "Get your hands up",' He pulled out his gun and pointed into the passenger side of the window where my youngest daughter was trying to get her seatbelt off. So, I put my hands up.”

Lawton says Tatusko refused to take her identification, never told her why she was stopped and never left the passenger side of the vehicle. She said at one point the officer got so angry he ****** his gun and said if Joshalyn(7 years old) moved again he would “blow her brains out.”

“He clicked the thing back and then he turned off his radio,” said Jasmine. “I was like ‘He's going to kill us.'”

Ok. I don't believe in control population or facism like in China, but why can't we have a license to breed? We have to get a license to drive, to hunt, to boat, to fish, to practice-law, massage, medical, plumbing, and the list goes on. So why on earth are so many people allowed to breed stupidity into our society? I think there should be an age limit or IQ test. And if you don't pass the test, you get fixed for free. Look at all the 13-18 yrs. old single mothers that have no business having a kid when they are a kid themselves. Do you think people should be married or unmarried when they have a child, exluding divorce down the road? What requirements should there be if we had a license to breed? I'd like to know your opinions.
