I personally say yes, because the meaning has been lost since its inclusion.

Originally, the document did not have it. Upon its addition in 1954, it was meant as an addition to make sure that Americans were to be humbled, knowing they aren't the best, so that they wouldn't become as arrogant as they are today. Also, to seperate us from the atheist Soviets with which we were in the Cold War.

Other people believe that it is in it because God is specifically looking over the United States. (America is no more special than any other country)

Okay, I just saw the news about a food and drug agency head director of the people's republic of china was executed in may for taking bribes for fake drugs and food to be distributed on the market. Because of his greed, there were food poisoning ranging from dog food to toothpaste in America for the last few months. There were people that got hurt and animals died of tainted food and other things that came from China.
The Chinese government and the supreme court of China decided that the head director to be executed for "vile crimes that cause extreme harm to society".
Do you think that this is a fair sentence or not, for him?
Do you think that America should take back the bussiness and start making this products at home instead of outsourcing to other countries, even if it means slightly higher prices?
Do you think that America should do the same to congressmen in the US Congress that take bribes, or to Corporate executives like the ENRON case? What do you think?

It is uncertain as to whether or not the "troop surge" that was decided on a few months ago is working. Actually, that surge may only be starting to take effect as those added troops have only just arrived.

But if the commanders of our forces should need more troops after that, would you support a decision to send more?

My thinking is that we should either make a real effort to achieve victory in Iraq or don't bother at all. There is no sense in just applying band-aids to this hemmoraging situation. So if we need 50,000 more troops for a victory that is actually possible, then why not go for it?

I say we either do that, or just get out altogether.

We do not want the greatest foreign policy blunder in American history to be a war that we lose. And we do not want the consequences of abandoning this war to be left to be genocide, or an ongoing war for others to fight and endure.

Your thoughts?

They are already breaking ranks with the president over Iraq, and they know if they have any hope of getting re-elected, they need to support a change in course for the war. Will the last few conservatives left in support of the war call them traitors?

I need to quit and leave my job ASAP. I owe my boss money, a couple grand. But there is no housing where I am, and my mom is sick..and I need to move 16 hours away.

We never made an contract with the loan. Its more a personal thing that I must pay back, because its the right thing to do clearly.

But what are my options? Could I just leave? Should I talk to him?

What could he do to me legally? The loans were written out to me as "bonuses". I am not asking because I want to be shady. I love my boss, and I want to do the right thing. I want to know my *** is covered though. Just in case, because my other boss is not as nice.

It seems to me that History tells us that their love of materiality, war and themselves do not serve the interest of the American people....

In doubt? take the example of the banking arrangements between Hitler and a particular bank led by a particular family... I call no names, but we all know who was funding Hitler whilst American troops were being prepared for war.

There's a strong push for Bush and/or Cheney to get impeached right now. I would like someone to explain to me in simple terms why people want them to get impeached. I'm not looking for a debate. I've been out of the country for a while, and I only want to understand the reasons. Thanks for your help!

issuing orders to former aides not to testify in front of Congress?

There is absolutely no way that anything connected with these firings should be classified top secret, or that the release of such information would endanger the country. The President answers to the people of this country. So when the people of this country - through their representation in Congress - demand information that does not jeopardize national security, how dare he think he does not have to provide it?

And how dare Sara Taylor claim she took an oath to protect the President?????

She took an oath to protect the Constitution, not that dumbass George Bush.
