Yes...he was horrible....monica lewinsky, and some other stuff but doesn't that all seem trivial when compared to what we face today...the War in Iraq, illegal immigration, high college tuition, $3.29 in gas (at least in Connecticut)...oh and the world looks at us like a joke...we aren't respected anymore in certain countries...if you weren't happy with Clinton then are you happy with Bush?

So you question the existing of Mexicans, you call them trashy, beaners, wetbacks. (just to name a few) You oppose the birth of their children. You hate it when they speak their native language. You suggest they should be shot when crossing the border. By any chance….Is Hitler leading the anti-immigration movement?

Either you stop it or accept the label.

In the film "Sleepy Hollow" Johnny Depp plays Icabod Crane: A detective from New York who tries to solve the mystery of the headless horseman. During the first 1/3 of the film, Crane disbelieves everyone's story of a headless horseman, even though everyone in town has told him the legend is true. Finally, he actually sees the horseman for himself, then he believes.
There is an important scene where Crane is lying in his bed, facing the wall with the covers pulled over his head and refusing to come out of his room. One of the town leaders comes to see him and Crane exclaims "The horseman is real!" The town leader replies "I know. I told you he was real...everyone told you he was real!"
Is the far left like Icabod Crane? Smugly insisting that the threat of radical Islam is overblown. Insisting also that they, by "understanding" and "having a dialogue with" the terrorists, can do a better job than actually fighting it?
Will they also hide under the covers when we're attacked again?

How does the government hunt down people who illegally download music. Like Music, tv shows, and movies for free. How can they hunt a person down, ruin their life, and sue them? What are their methods? How do they know who you are?

Out of the millions and millions of people in the country, do you think Bush is the #1 best person to be president? Do you think any modern president has ever been the best person for the job?

It seems like early on, there was well known people in politics who were considered by many to be some of the smartest people in the country. Now, it seems like politicians are very different from the people we consider to be our brilliant.

Follow up question: If you don't think Bush or other modern presidents are the best possible people for the job, what can we do to make it better?

Ive been reading to a bunch of comments regarding immigration issues lately. Most of them are actually from the same people, so if I get any answers Im expecting it to be from them. It is healthy to have different points of view taken into account, but from what Ive read ive come to this conclusion: There is really a lot of intolerance (I DIDNT SAY RACISM) shown in most answers. Those whith a pro-illegal commentary get thumbs down, and those against illegal SOMETIMES answer without any appeal to human dignity or rights (not to be confused with american dignity or rights)

Of course I am not american, and please avoid calling me a beaner or a wet back and asking me to go to my stinky country because Im already in it. I am not, have never been and have no inmediate intentions of becomming a resident there. I just wonder how an educated society that rubs words like freedom and liberty in the face of humanity has become an intolerant egocentric society

Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani

14 Feb, 2007

Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?

Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.

Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.

Face it none of the Independents out here like the leading Republican canidates and they will vote Independent or third party and the Democrats will probably win unless the Republicans nominate Ron Paul and in that case the Republicans will have their base and the Independents on their side therefore winning the Presidency and probably control of the house, I believe if they nominate Romney or Thompson they will lose badly and only get the vote of the hardcore base.
