often i hear of people attributing george bush to hitler, maybe its because he convinced congress to o.k. going to war but other presidents have done the same thing and not recieved as much ire as him.

this kind of thing has happened so often that it is now cool to say hateful remarks about the president at my high school i see this all the time. surely people can explain their stance instead of f**k you!

I personally think we must fight against ALL forms of fanaticism, terrorism and undemocratic fascist activities; be it foreign-brewed or otherwise. Thanks to the unrelenting Christian Right's dominionist agenda, brainwashing propaganda, patriotically packaged rhetoric, and ever-growing subversive governmental influence, we are headed straight for a theocratic-ruled America. :-(

Anytime I see him talk it makes me want to sing "God bless America". Why is that?

None of their arguments make any sense and have been proven to be fallacious via numerous instances in history. Then again they thought Hitler was a nice guy. They think the same about terrorists and quickly forgot about 9/11. By the way, I can out argue or beat the crap out of any of these clowns. Their talking points are obviously nonsensical and they believe that repeating the same nonsense over and over again will make it true.

His tickets received
Dui (driving under the influence)
No seat Belt (He was not in his car)
Dysfunctional Vehicle (tail light was out)
No Insurance (He has it just lost the card)
M.I.P (minor in possession)
Open container (2 empty bottles in 12 pack slots)
He was pulled over at a friends house. He was already out of his truck and knocking on the door. The officer said he pulled him over for an abrupt turn in a residential neighborhood. My brother refused a breathalyzer and ask for a blood test or roadside. So the officer put him in his car and started searching his truck. He found beer with 2 empty from the 12 pack-So he wrote him an open container ticket. He made my brother do the breathalyzer but he didn’t blow much. (?) don't know the numbers?? He searched without permission and refused a roadside. Is there any advice I could use?

What is wrong with these people? Some say its their childhood that plays a role in it. I don't doubt it! But I had it just about as bad as you can get it when I was a child. But I don't go around harming children or raping women. I had alot of psychological problems growing up and I still have some today! I admit it! But If I thought I might become something like that I would turn myself over to the psychiatrists. I can't understand why the don't seek help before hand! There is always hope until you cross that line and harm someone! Then I say its your own fault and you deserve to be PUNISHED!!!!! But if these people would seek help prior to committing such a horrible act; I can't help but wonder how much more safe our children and women would be! When they cross the line I believe 100% that it is too late to do much talking!

with his big business / pro-outsourcing / tax cuts for the rich / cut programs for the poor economic policies?

Since he stepped into office the poverty rate has gone from 11.3% in 2000 to 12.6% in 2005 (latest stats available).

Inflation adjusted median incomes have gone from $47,599 in 2000 to $46,326 in 2005 (latest available).

Trade deficits are at record highs as are budget deficits. Since Bush stepped into office, the national debt has increased by almost THREE TRILLION dollars!

The number one reason why the UN is dysfunctional is because the US stands in the way of the UN becoming more effective.

If we would pay our dues, respect international law, and strengthen instead of weaken the UN, we would have a lot more peaceful world.

Libs love peace, and that is respectable, but sometimes it is not the answer to a global crisis.

The libs only answer to a threat to national security is to call our comander in cheif a chimp. It's almost traitorous.

God bless our elected officials, let them not be sidetracked by liberal moonbats.

I live in the state of Washington. It appears from what I have learned is that a person has to be severely ill, single jobless mother taking care of kids because pops has disappeared, or elderly to get assistance. Most times benefits only last 6 months of a persons entire life. Many times people build a stigma around social services so that people would rather starve themselves and their children than go out and get on "welfare". Europe seems to be the one that gives free hand outs. They have a motto that says that a person can work if they want to. No one questions it and they have nice mass transportation systems, better educational systems, and some of those countries are ranked ahead of us on quality of life. Why are so many Americans complaining? How do you cheat the government to get lots of money? The amount of money I have seen from the lists and college classes looks like just enough money to live out on the streets with for food and clothing. Should we defund it some more?

BAGHDAD - The U.S. military death toll in March, the first full month of the security crackdown, was nearly twice that of the Iraqi army, which American and Iraqi officials say is taking the leading role in the latest attempt to curb violence in the capital, surrounding cities and Anbar province, according to figures compiled on Saturday.

The Associated Press count of U.S. military deaths for the month was 81, including a soldier who died from non-combat causes Friday. Figures compiled from officials in the Iraqi ministries of Defense, Health and Interior showed the Iraqi military toll was 44. The Iraqi figures showed that 165 Iraqi police were killed in March. Many of the police serve in paramilitary units. However, the war supporters in the USA do not care about these numbers. It's business as usual. That's the Bush way.

I'm NOT looking for "Breach of Contract" I know what that is... this is something different.

When two people have a signed agreement and then one person tries to add onto the agreement after it was signed.

I hope that makes sense...

I see more lumping for the left and right than ever before.

I'm neither, but if I say the war is not winnable I'm a left leaning liberal. If I say the democrats only have "passion" when they have the numbers or public support, I'm a right winged lemming?

I believe "pork" has no business in the funding. If you want to set a date, set a date. Hell, make the date tomorrow, but don't buy votes with BS funding just to secure votes. It's as bad as continuing to fund a war of whack a mole.

Can I help it I don't believe in the entire left or right ideology in TOTAL?

Shouldn't we be deciding issues on their merits, not the talking points of the latest party briefing?

Don't we need a new political party that takes the "politics" out of the government.

How can we stand by and continue to lump everyone in a group, thus further dividing the country.

Have we gotten this damn petty and ignorant? It's not us against them, it's us against us. Don't fear the terrorist, fear our own implosion.

Now they want to put a deadline on withdraw from iraq??? Doesn't this give the insurgents a clear advantage; "Just wait em out, then we can have what we wanted in the first place-a central command for terrorism."
Why is it so hard for you Dummy Dems to figure out the simple truth.......War is necessary to retain our freedom (and it also helped picked up our econemy after 911). Take the money from the troops and you might as well start counting the body bags. The war won't stop.......as a matter of fact, the insurgency will feel a surge of power; as they have in the past brought on by political idiocy in the Democratic party and the biast media. The suffering and misery of war will be prolonged thanks to spinless democrats afraid to face the facts......If we hide behind our own borders and bring the troop home, the war will be in our front yard, as it was not long ago.......I think most of America has forgotten what they prommised they would NEVER forget. Fund Democracy!

There is a local case going on in my city (I live in CA) The city we live in is trying to take the home of one of our fellow neighbors. SO my neighborhood decided to have a get together about it and see how we could help. We had this get together at one of our fellow neighbors house. She put fliers on some doors. Well somehow the city lawyers got one of these fliers by "happendous" and subpoenaed the lady whose house we had this little get together at. The want all emails, telephone conversations, in person correspondence ANYTHING from this get together.The city named all of the neighbors by street address and wanted to know what was said. They also took her picture when they subpoened her. So does local city government have the right to know what we as citizens talk about in the privacy of our own homes? AMoung neighbors? Don't we have any civil rights? opinions please!! WHat should she say at the diposition? WE told her to plead her 5th amendment rights but I don't hink this pertain
