Which of these two choices are more important to you? Eliminating the national debt or lowering taxes? Which is better for our country in the long run?

I served in the Navy for 20 years, 10 of those in Japan. From what I know of the country during World War II, it seems we are fighting the same spiritual mentality, that glassy eyed stowic ability to sacrifice life for a God personage and a religious divotion. The only way to defeat Islamic fascism is by the same brutal force used to defeat Japan. Do you agree?

Republicans wave flags, claim they love their nation, etc.

BUT when it comes to paying taxes....well that's another story.

I thought good citizens always paid taxes without endless complaining? Not if your a Republican though!

Let's pretend that you will be dictator of the U.S. for a day, and any law you make can never be revoked. So think carefully because 50 years from now, the laws you pass will still be in effect. You can only be dictator for one day only and cannot extend your rule, but otherwise, any law you make will take effect permanently

What laws would you make here in the U.S. and why?

I believe that we're winning the war on Terrorism.
And, I believe there were wepons of mass destruction i Iraq.
And, I believe Saddham Hussein was in cahouts with Al-Queida.
And, I believe we should be able to turture people in Gitmo.

And, I believe Christians should vanquish the Muslims -- "W" called it a crusade, and goddamm it it's a crusade!

Any questions?

Invaded a country that was not a threat based on lies. Tortured prisoners. Held prisoners without charges or without access to an attorney. Raped young girls. Murdered citizens of the country invaded.

Nazi Germany? China? The Soviet Union? No, Bush's America.

GWB keeps telling us that we were attacked because "they" hate our freedoms. Then why do we keep giving them up so easily?

I am making a care package for my nephew stationed at Ft. Benning during boot camp, I am also wondering if any of you know the "no-no's" of what is prohibited. I checked the USO site but it was alil' vague. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Also I don't know if the category I put this question in is correct but I thought this would fall under legal but that wasn't an option.

“This is how a nation loses its moral compass, its identity, its freedom.” Rep Jerrold Nadler (D-NY)

How did things get this bad? The “Military Commissions Act” which passed the Republican-led Congress yesterday is a bigger blow to the Constitution and our core values than any piece of legislation in our 200 year history. It is 100 times worse than Bin Laden's crimes on 9-11.

I think it has. They think they have SUPPORT over here.
Look at what Hugo Chavez did.
Why can't you just support the USA in a time of war by NOT bashing it's administration on WAR policies...which by the way I agree with.
EVERYONE wants our troops home - we differ on WHEN and HOW to bring them home.

Fascism or Nationalist Socialism was a left wing party in Germany. They believed in the power and supremacy of the State over that of the individual. They were a form of Socialism, an idea always associated with liberals or the Left wing.

The Progressive movement of the 1900s not only pushed an agenda that was racist, but their ability to sell the idea that government could and should intrude on and regulate private business dealings made it possible for the Jim Crow laws to be passed. Those racist laws were passed and enforced by Democrats.

The left believes in the group or society over the individual. Conservatives, especially the Libertarians believe in the opposite. The greatest evils of the last century and of today are perpetrated by people in power who believed they are doing what was for the greater good of humanity.

FM 3-19.40 plans were created weeks before 9/11/01 and were signed INTO ORDER weeks after 9/11/01

By Order of the Secretary of the Army:
ERIC K. SHINSEKI General, United States Army
Chief of Staff Joel B Hudson Administrative Assistant Secretary of the Army

HERE IS THE ACTUAL (FM 3-19.40)
I find chapter 5 and 6 particularly disturbing.

It is also available on the UNITED STATES ARMY website in PDF format@

On the army website it is not easy to find(for obvious reasons) its 1/6th the way down the page entitled MILITARY POLICE INTERNMENT/RESETTLEMENT OPERATIONS DATED 08/01/2001
