I am reposting a question that was just deleted, and YAHOO - if this is deleted again I demand an IMMEDIATE explanation by a living human being as to WHY it was deleted.

QUESTION: How can you respect a world leader who speaks with such poor language skills as these:

"Oftentimes, we live in a processed world, you know, people focus on the process and not results."

"The law I sign today directs new funds... to the task of collecting vital intelligence... on weapons of mass production."

"It will take time to restore chaos and order."

"They have miscalculated me as a leader."

"Natural gas is hemispheric... because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods."

"I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well."

"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."

"One has a stronger hand when there's more people playing your same cards."

"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning"

Noted black economist Walter Williams argues that discrimination should be allowed; that freedom of association necessarily involves being discriminating in one's selection.

He points out that people practice careful discrimination in choosing friends and spouses...and that marriage has much more of an impact, economically, on racial groups(because people generally pick mates of their own race based on the same affinity that the government has outlawed in hiring) than any hiring or contracting process.

If you choose to marry person A instead of person B, person B may experience loss while person A enjoys advantages.

The point being, that if the government continues its trend/efforts to eliminate "discrimination"--that is, free choice--in all aspects of society with EEOC lawyers and affirmative action and so on, then soon it will be forcing people to marry someone outside their race in order to promote "equal opportunity" and quotas, etc.

Williams is careful to point out that it is in fact marriage which impacts the economic status of blacks far more than any employment situation, as it is matrimony which ensures that whites sustain wealth within their cultural milieu.

Williams does not see this as wrong--he is a conservative, and recognizes that the government's role should not be to interfere in freedom of association, nor to attempt to force/guarantee equality of outcomes for those who posess and/or lack certain characteristics.

Where would I start to introduce a better way for Americans who recieve Food Stamps? Too much of our American taxes are used to feed our citizens (and others) with not food, but junk. It is amazing that food stamps are used, not for healthy feeding but for junk food that is breaking down the body of so many. I propose that the food stamp program create boundries using an acceptable food list, the same as the state WIC program. Couldn't we save million, billions of dollars on junk food, which in turn creates health problems which are then funded by Medicare and state health programs such as we have in Tenn. (Tenncare)

When we are all honest with ourselves we know who is good and who is in it for themselves.
If you can't be honest you are lost and useless.
No one died when clinton lied! Bull!
The dems always have catchy one liners, shallow but catchy, a good hook for impressionable youths easily swayed and good for a vote.
But how do you explaine adults who supported clinton throught thick and thin and agreed with all he did then, but today they like the position that there never was any WMDs just to say something bad about the Bush Administration.
It is their filp flopping, John Kerry like, unwillingness to make and take a stand that exposes them as the irrational party members that they are.
The nonsensical issues that sway people astound me, Kerry & Edwards touted they had the best hair, and don't think for a minute that there were not people out there whos vote was based on looks. God help us if Fabio and Anna Nicole Smith run because the clinton supporters would not know who to nominate!

My dad was told if he was wearing his seatbelt when he had his wreck he'd be dead. Why should we have to wear seatbelts when SCHOOL BUSES DO NOT HAVE THEM. People on bikez don't have them and don't even have to wear ne head gear? I will wear mah seat belt when they put them on EVERY school bus and put them on motorcycles

I'm amazed at the number of people who still think GWBush is the greatest thing. He's a terrible president and a liar. How can you still like him knowing what he's done? Read:
George W. Bush ordered a War of Aggression against Iraq. This constitutes a Crime Against Peace - for which Nazi leaders were prosecuted at the Nuremberg Trials - and violates the UN Charter.

Iraq never attacked the US or threatened an attack, so the US was not acting legally in self-defense, which is permitted under the UN Charter.
Iraq played no role in the September 11, 2001 attack on the US and never provided material support to any terrorist group that attacked the US, so even the non-legal Bush doctrine of pre-emptive attack did not apply.

Liberals, will you please read this and what do you have to say about it?
First off my wife reminds me it is better to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Having said that I apologise for all the bashing I have done to your ideology. What I would like to know is...

I read posts in this fourm where people say the war in Iraq is all just for oil, the point in it self is debatable to say the least. So let me ask this way, if the worlds oil came to a sudden halt, what do you think the implication on every economic structure would be? The simple fact there is war for any reason saddens me greatly. When I was young and in collage I too believed in the ability to change the world. I still do believe we, and each individual can make a differance, the thing that changed is the realistic understanding that it comes in time, and is a very hard road. So what are we to do. until we rid ourselves of oil dependancy we are between a rock and a hard place. Please give me your thoughts what ever they are.
