Politics & Government - 16 April 2007

He was going on and on and on about liberal commissions and liberal conspiracy and liberal this or that with derision and lots of anger, but, really didn't have an ISSUE to dicuss, or a matter, coming up on the hill to speak about. People, if this is what motivates you, it is wasted energy and FULL of anger and malice. I found it distasteful, pious to a fault, and full of emotion without any thought really. Oh yes, he mentioned WACO as a milestone of some sort. (It was mass suicide by a cult nut, but somehow, this was anti-liberal stuff). Come on America, you can do better!

Both wars are iewed by the majority of Americans as major mistakes.

Many brave and decent American men and women died in these wars.

Far more U.S. servicemen died in Vietnam (at least that is true at this moment), but that is not the only measure by which to judge the level of error in these two wars.

Which one was the worse mistake for the United States?

I think that the basic structure of our society is inherited from the 19th century, and worked well then. For example a large number of media outlets held in diverse hands made it difficult for any one owner to supress truth - and this acted in a cleansing way to bring scandal to light. Now, however, media, for example, has grown monolithic, and therefore prone to manipulation, and doesnt act in the healthy cleansing way of old. An example, in the last 30 years is to compare the Watergate scandal, with that of the invasion of Iraq. The overall structure of society even only 30 years ago (especially the widespead ownership of the media then) operated to heal a wrong and bring down entrenched power, while today a concentrated media prevents a debate from reaching the required strengh to do this even in the event of a war arguably convened for the benefit of special interests.
Special interests are a constant - society needs to act automatically to keep them in place. How?

Is there any evidence that their firings were motivated by anything other than the desire of the Bush administration to shelter crooks from being prosecuted?

Disgraced former Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham was convicted of bigtime bribery and is now serving his time in Federal Prison. Was US attorney Carol Lam fired in revenge by the Bush-Rove-Cheney clique, embarrassed to have one of theior pals exposed as a crook?

If so you might wish to answer a current question pertaining
to the Pledge of Allegiance. My views have been getting
hammered. I could use your thumbs up vote.

Look for: should we not remove under god from the pledge
of allegiance ? Just the fact that person did not use any caps
is bothersome.

Take vacation trips, and stay in 5 star hotels. Especially when there is such a budjet issue. Michigan is already struggeling enough because of our deficit, I just don't understand how elected officials can use taxpayers money to do something like that, I understand offical buisness, but not to catch a tan. What do you think?

How horrible of a terrorist attack/s upon the West will rouse them from their delusion and denial that Islam is peaceful?

Will they obstruct patriotic conservatives all the way up until we start having Muslim magistrates and legislators enacting Sharia law here in the states?

Already we are seeing Muslims getting more and more power here...and they do generally NOT embrace anything other than the autocratic tyranny of Islam...

Will the libs convert to patriotism once they see that their licentious ways and their enjoyment & abuse of freedoms will be encroached upon and cease (instead of protected, as by John Ashcroft and George Bush) under the dystopia of political correctness?
