Turks have committed atrocities against their ethnic minorities including Armenians and Kurds. The first genocide of the 20 th century was the Armenian genocide committed by Ottoman Turks. Armenians were foced out of their homes and they were deported to Syrian desert but many Armenians lost their lives. Women ,children and men were starved and tortured. Ottoman Turk officials planned this crime against humanity and made a pretext and excuse for referring to their national security. Ottoman Turks released criminals from their prisons mainly those who were in jail for murder. This was one example of how Turks treated their ethnic minority then I will mention Kurds who face discrimination in Turkey. Kurds cannot celebrate their own holidays without being monitored by Turkish police and Turks suppressed Kurds till to date. There is no real freedom of expression in Turkey. Please remember what happened to Mr. Hrant Dink Turkish/Armenian journalist who was shot dead by an ultranationalist

The simple fact is that, for the first time in decades, the plurality of the American people associate themselves with the Republican party. Liberals in the country are losing clout not because they lack a clear vision, or the guts to “stand up” to the President, but because their policies of the last decade have been an abject failure. They hitched their wagon to political correctness, expansion of entitlements, and appeasement of lunatic regimes, all of which have proven to be nags in a political climate searching for thoroughbreds. Democrats have failed not because they moved too far to the right, but because they moved too far to the left. Emboldened by American guilt over the civil rights movement, Vietnam, and the excesses of the 1980’s, they pushed forth an increasingly left-wing agenda that was no longer a reflection of the will of the people, but a pseudo-socialist vision of benevolent government taking care of its constituents.

It's funny that the liberal media was never an issue until Bush got us into this travesty of a war. Once they started reporting on the atrocities in Iraq, they were labeled as "liberal". So if I understand this correctly, any news organization that does not kiss the President's azz has a liberal bias, right? When the news agencies were covering the Clinton impeachment ad nauseum, was that the conservative media?

1. It is my body and my choice........ then why do people chastise women who smoke and drink while they are pregnant?
2. It is not a life until it can sustain itself outside the womb..............Then I guess premature babys in incubators or on ventilators are not life?
3. The government cant tell me what I can do with my body..............The government does this all the time, it is illegal to use drugs and the government will try to stop you from commiting suicide!

I don't believe the government has a right to determine who lives and who dies. That is why I am pro choice, and that is why i am against the death penalty. How is that a double standard?

I'm a Canadian married to an American guy. Currently living with my husband and waiting on my greencard. How long will I have to wait before I get my greencard?

Knowing I will have to wait 3 yrs before naturalization for U.S citizenship - what if I have my greencard by then and than things don't work out in the marriage and we end up splitting before the 3 yrs? How will this affect my green card status?

Gore says that he is concerned about the environment, but he only seems to pay lip service the problem. He relies on tricks like buying offsets or alternative energy, but why won't he actually make a major cutback on his lifestyle. He has plenty of money so paying more isn't a sacrafice, why won't he make a real sacrafice and use less energy?

is it right to kill someone knowing that he is planning to kill you later?? that is in case you don't have a chance to call for help or to escape.... it's just between you and him......

take note, he's not doing anything wrong yet but the thing is you know he will kill you later?? would it be justifiable??

Survivability outside the womb? Who, without their mother or other, would not survive outside the womb?

Ever seen a preemie? They wouldn't survive outside the womb without some help.

Is it the right to carry arms while in service to the state (caveat: my interpretation of "a well-regulated militia". Yours may differ) or the right of the individual (with no felony record, obviously) to own and carry firearms?

their money is more important to them than someone else's life. this really seems strange and immoral to me. now i know that not all conservatives are this way, so dont get me wrong. but indeed, many are.

In discussing the difference between iraq spending and government assisted healthcare, andy stated this:

1- if you think we shouldn't be building hospitals in Iraq what do you think of Mexican women getting free hospital care when they cross the border to have their baby?

now, this really set off a bell in my head. he is obviously stating that this healthcare is a bad thing. but i completely support this woman. if having her child in our country would prevent that child from growing up in the horrendously awful mexico, i would pay for her care myself. it shouldnt be an issue about money when a child can grow up with a great opportunity compared to a terrible one. so i have no problem with using my tax dollars on this type of care. what are your takes on this?

Since no one is allowed to own a gun here, why is this still happening?

I keep seeing liberals who want to ban guns, yet why would they advocate something that does not work?
