im not promoting war or anything and im totally against war, but it has come to my realization that if one day Bush decides to take over the world, there is not much anybody can do about it. He already invaded iraq without the UNs' approval, so if he does decides to do that, theres not much u can do about it right?

Lon Horiuchi should be in jail for the rest of his life. In 1992 when he was an FBI sniper, he was called to Ruby Ridge for that whole fiasco. When he was there, he perched himself up into a tree so he could get a clear shot of the cabin that Randy Weaver owned. When Weaver's unarmed wife (who was holding her baby at the time) opened up the front door of the cabin to get some fresh air for her and the baby, Lon Horiuchi intentionally sniped her in the head. She droped dead to the ground instantally while her baby dropped out of her hands. Horiuchi was never convicted of anything. Not only that, he got to keep his job and was a sniper at Waco! Im sorry, but I believe that if you shoot an unarmed women who is holding her baby in the head with a bullet, you should go to prison for the rest of your life. Instead he kept his freedom and his job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not like the writing was not on the wall 6 years ago, but to wait until now to mention impeachment is just as bad as not mentioning it six years ago when it became more and more obvious that he was incompetant. I mean wake up people, this is all a scam, but now the Republicans want to save their chances for reelection and as far as I'm concerned, it's too little, too late.

But hey, this will turn out just the way the Dems and Reps want it, always does.

ok people here we go again, the bush people seemed poised once again to start their campaign of saber rattling. this time a different country, but the same objective as before. i have been readng many articles and books including the bush doctrine and bob woodwards series of books on the longterm objectives of the neocons and bush/cheney. unfortunately it does seem that those objectives are a strong reason why we will start another conflict with iran. only this time china and russia will probably become envolved with possible dire consequences. how many of you are going to volunteer for bush's second installment of his doctrine? dont critisize me or run your mouth about how i dont know what i am talking about. how about enlighten me how why you think bush's next war is necessary and how you plan to help him and his neo-con buddies complete their world goals!!!!!!! educate and convince me. dont give me that wmd b/s because we all now that didnt work the first time. so why now????

I've heard the argument a thousand times that because I'm not a woman and would never know, I have no say in the issue (now pay me your dead beat dad money)

But I find more and more that its woman that are defending the rights of the unborn more than anyone else. Just out of curiousity, do you think men or woman want there to be a right to abortion more? Who fights the hardest against it?

It's not just a black white issue is it? I believe that the South was treating the Indians better than the North was. And let's not forget their home, Oklahoma, was taken from them as punishment for fighting for the South.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials


Isnt that EXACTLY what he did?
