He has done more for this country than George W. Bush and many of the political candidates that are vying for the top spot in the upcoming election.

He has saved countless lives with his seatbelts and is a strong role model for all with fighting against the big corporations.

Many of us know today Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. George Bush said so himself. Iraq, to those who still can think clearly, was obviously, at the very least (giving everyone involved the extreme benifit of the doubt) a misguided venture.
It would seem that America has become in every sense of the meaning, an imperialistic state. In the name of justice, to redeem our name, we call for te insanity to end. But are you willing to take the hit?
Are you willing to admit our system is less than perfect? Are you willing to admit to the injustices it creates? Are you willing to relinquish the ideal of being the prime nation and become a normal member of the international community again? In one word: Can we give up the addiction to being a power?
Conservaties, democrats, international responses. I don't care.
You want to call me a commie? Fine. That won't get us anywhere.
But perhaps you actually have something interesting to say. Where have we gone wrong and how can we fix it?

Both made some great points. Dr. Gupta did effectively critique Sicko with some technicalities and fine points. But I think Mr. Moore was misunderstood. Most of what he says about America's health care system is totally true. Why do literally dozens of other countries have better health care systems for their citizens then the richest nation on the planet?

Why are we not concentrating on the guys who did it nearly as much as we on Iraq which actually didn't have anything to do with 9-11?

Each terrorist act brings liberals scrambling to remind us that, "Islam is a religion of peace." Any condemnation of the thousands of murders, terrorists acts and atrocities perpetrated in the name of Islam always brings liberals to mumble something lame about, "Every religion has it's extremists, Christians kill abortion doctors".
Yeah...ok

What have there been 2 or 3 abortion doctors killed in the last 30 years? Ah, but liberals have their priorities, you see.

My suspicion is that the Left had been deeply demoralized by the downfall of the communist USSR and Eastern Europe. They were looking for another power to challenge the so called Western "hegemony". Radical Islam fits the bill

Look no further than communist dictator Hugo Chavez to confirm evidence of this emerging alliance between the radical Left and radical Islam. He declared the Iranian despot Ahmadinejad his "brother". "We have thoughts, objectives and interests in common," Ahmadinejad said.

Indeed

State by State, Town by town, city by city tough laws against the swarm of un grateful illegal alien trespassers are passing around the country. Combine this with the brutal failure of the US Senare bill, it looks pretty grim for the illegal lobby as every were they turn they hit a speed bump. The days of freebies are over for this hoard of takers and time to go go go.

You stay up for 16 hours

He stays up for days on end.



You take a warm shower to help you wake up.

He goes days or weeks without running water.




You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.

He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.




You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.

He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.




You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.

He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.

You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.



You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.

He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.

You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.

How about this
Civilian deaths down 36%
We are capturing Al Qaeda Militants 3 times as fast as ALL of last year
And we are killing more and more members of Al Qaeda every week.

Before you say the surge is "failing" why don't we wait to September when the report on the surge comes out?

Well after his now 4th "surge" has failed like all the others he will tell the American people that he is going to start slowing withdrawing or redeploying US troops out of Iraq this Fall.

Just slow enough that he can keep the war going right until he leaves office in 2009 & no longer has to worry about having to admit defeat. He'll hand that responsiblity to Hilary.

Carl Rove is a genius albeit an evil one.

Under the Talmud's counterfeit Noahide Laws, the worship of Jesus is forbidden under penalty of death, since such worship of Christ is condemned by Judaism as idolatry. So this is Blasphemy on part of George Bush he is setting us up for something!.
This makes NO SENSE. He tried to get this into law in 1989 and didnt do it until 1991, It makes no sense

If a woman at home shoots and kills someone who she sees breaking into her home, is this voluntary manslaughter? If not, what kind of homocide is it?

On his July 9th show he said- "I don't know who's accusing [Hillary Clinton] of murdering anybody"

But in 1994 he claimed Vince Foster was murdered in an apartment owned by Hillary - interestingly enough the source he used for this never claimed Foster was murdered, nor that the apartment was owned by Clinton.

Then in 2005 he said Cindy Sheehan was in danger of being found dead in Fort Marcy Park (where Vince Foster committed suicide) if she didn't stop criticizing Hillary.

Is this guy playing with a full deck, or does he have his dittoheads so completely brainwashed that he can say anything - and they believe it?

ex. the question about why the aclu isn't outraged at muslims praying in school.

Don't you people understand that YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to pray in school as long as it's not disrupting the class or other students.

But you MANY NOT lead the class in prayer. OR attempt to mandate public prayer.

Are people simply too stupid to comprehend these simple facts?

In a world populated with such a huge number of Islamic nut cases, ready and willing to kill us in horrible and cowardly ways, for such childish reasons,are we being foolish to worry more about their rights and welfare than our own?
Should we be protecting our image, or taking the offensive,anywhere we see an opportunity, to protect Americans everywhere?

With the defections by some republicans, is the party nervous about facing the voters? I mean, none of the benchmarks were hit and Bush and many republicans still want to stay the course?? Besides that, Bush's immigration proposal stalled in the Senate.
