Politics & Government - 2 August 2007

If Clinton were president and Obama were vice president, would the United States put an end to its policy of poisoning Asia? Why have we exposed Asians and Americans to Agent Orange, Napalm, Mustard Gas, and Depleted Uranium? Did you know that the powers of World War I all sold their stocks of mustard gas to Iraq and Iran during the Iraq-Iran war, and that antihumanitarian product was still used again, 70 years after it was deemed inhumane?

Remember the Iran-Contra Scandal. If the country would stop the war profiteering business, it could start governing instead of being in business, and we could start worrying about global warming and world peace, itstead of perpetuating war. everyone loses with war

can't we stop killing people?

why are you killing my people?

I have a state tax lien filed against me (NC-USA) from several years ago. I was working with a criminal attorney, and he assured me he could resolve the civil lien as well as my other "issue". Well, it appears he's dropped the ball in the civil arena, and I don't know what my options are at this point. Does a state tax lien ever "expire" after a number of years?

I'm hearing a lot of discussions about Hilary possibly choosing Obama as her running mate. Do you think that her recent criticism of Obama's foreign policy tactics would hurt her chances of becoming president if she eventually asks Obama to be her running mate????

Detroit has still wooden water pipes from 1890, leaking worse then a 3 month old baby. There isn't a day, when some District in Cleveland has no Electricity. Europe has long abandoned overhead wiring, which is the major cause for energie outs in the USA and is 10 years ahead of Communications, with glas fiber cables for the a faster internet. Roads here are in worse state then in soem thrid world countires. Why are we not investing and creating jobs for the future?

There would be statues of the military leaders and the president
set about in public squares.
Military parades so people could affectionately display their love for combat in a public setting.
There would be constant war in the world and the US would
be at the center of every conflict.
Abortion, dissent, public protests would all be punishable by death
homosexuality would outlawed and be an imprisonable crime.
People would be forced to carry guns.
All schools would be Christian schools.
Islam and the belief in it would be illegal.
military conscription would instituted.

Are they all fools? most marriages in the US are done with a Christian minister or priest but that doesn't make marriage Christian. There are billions of Chinese that have non christian
weddings so I suppose that takes away from the sacred part.
They like to use this stupidity when arguing against gay
marriage as if Brittney spears few day old marriage to her friend
was a sacrament. How do they explain Americas astronomically high divorce rate?

Especially the political ones that say the 'other side' is doing horrible villainous things...

Also, in your answer, say where you stand, politically (just in a general sense - conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, libertarian, whatever works for you).

The only really inaccurate things that I get forwarded to me are from my more conservative friends. I'm just wondering if that's because all of the crazy made-up & exaggerated propaganda emails out thare are from the conservative side, or if it's because the liberal ones get stopped right away by people who say 'Wait, this isn't true, even if it feels like it should be and would make good points for our side if it was'.

Or, maybe my liberal friends just don't like to forward stuff.

And roads and tell me your own town does not need millions in repairs .
That crack houses are abandoned homes in poor neighborhoods that burn down in the winter as the homeless try to stay warm .

We spend billions on military defense and if we spent that money on repairing our nation we would have a country the hole world could respect , admire and emulate .

Is the attacks from brown people on 9/11/2001 and the war on terrorism the reason immigration became such a hot issue or was it already hot before 9/11

I believe most of the public can see the irrational hatred for what it is and will retaliate against the Dems with their votes.

What do you think?

Everyone seems to think that a Democrat will be the next President and that they will be able to just wave a magic wand and everything will be fixed. I believe we should continue to elect a Republican until they completely run the USA into the ground and then maybe people will learn their lessons and never vote for another Republican ever.

I sure don't!

Besides being laughably incredulous coming from him, it is also myopic and reckless. This clown has never served in the military and it shows. Who goes around broadcasting strategic intent to the enemy?

His careless statements, which basically telegraph an intent to violate the national soverignty of an allied nation, undermine a key US ally in President Pervez Musharraf .

Senator Obama's tough remarks, which prompted the Pakistani Government to caution presidential candidates against "point-scoring" on crucial security issues, came in a bold speech laying out his anti-terrorism strategy

Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said she would not comment as Senator Obama was not president, but added: "These are serious matters and should not be used for point-scoring. Political candidates and commentators should show responsibility."

I would like to get Diclectin for morning sickness. It is a Class A medication, the safest one out there. However, it is made in Canada. Can my doctor write a prescription for a Canadian drug so I can purchase it online? Which begs another question, does anyone know a reputable Canadian online pharmacy. Thanks!

They want to end the sacred, Christian bond of marriage by legalizing gay marriage.

They want to teach our kids that we evolved from monkeys.

They want to prevent our kids from praying in school.

I can go on and on with examples.......

"I can do what I want as long as I am not harming anyone else." That's what they say... but what they mean is, "As long as i'm not harming anyone IN THE SHORT TERM. Is this perhaps the most shortsighted philosophy of all time? They don't think about years and decades later; the personnel, material and economic strain on the health service; children with parents dying of disease attributable to the excesses of youth...
Could libertarian ideals, in the long term, be a greater threat than those of the radical islamists?
