Politics & Government - 20 November 2006

Additional thing to think about. Do you think Barack Obama would fairly tend to the needs of all citizens or do you think he would bend policy to suit minorities and shift the balance of power in the country. With a growing Hispanic population who are avid voters and a black voting population who thinks very similarly and are united he could be re-elected for a second term even if he angers alot of the Conservatives.

Is he a re-packaged Al Sharpton or a Black Elvis for politics.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right in America -- and it's making him nervous.

The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.

In the book, he cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives -- from church attendance and two-parent families to the Protestant work ethic and a distaste for government-funded social services -- make conservatives more generous than liberals.

The book, titled "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism" (Basic Books, $26), is due for release Nov. 24.

The president lied to people here about there being weapons of mass destruction and underestimated the enormous force behind the teliban. This is about as bad as drinking and driving with a car load of friends and they all die but you in an accident.

He has committed crimes against humanity by killing hundreds of thousands innocent civilians and he will kill even more.

His juvenile arrogance, misplaced revenge and plain old incompetence at a job he was never qualified for cost the lives of many women and children in Iraq.

He should be held accountable for that.

To those of you who think this is a dumb question and that you cant receive any more medals once your out thats incorrect. Sometimes the government goes back and issuses medals to people who were at a certian event.(ie. hurricane andrew:when the army was called up for hurricane andrew relief they recived a presidential citation about 6 months later) And i also dont want people to think i am some glory hound only looking to get as many medals as possible. I am putting something together for my kids is all i think it will mean more to them than it does me. Thanks for your help everybody

Rather than having them stand up behind their equal-height podiums in identical blue suits without a hair out of place, let's sit 'em down and put them on lie detectors. I know it's not foolproof, but it would certainly change the dynamic of the whole thing. The followup questions would rock, too. "Senator, the polygraph indicates that you're being deceptive...."

We all hate how little power we have over the government and how we cant do anything to stop the govt from over using its power. I am sure that everyone is also sick of having to choose the lesser of two evils when it comes to elections. I have been researching truly democratic countries (and how to start one myself) and the only one I found is Switzerland. I am American so I am not going to move just because I am sick of the US govt. I want to know why we cant change our govt type to be a true democracy. Obviously, the govt officials will not want this to happen because they will loose their power but the constitution says that the people have the right to change their govt type. Please let me know if you are aware of any initiatives like this and where I could find them. Only serious answers please.
