Corporations like Wal-Mart have forced their suppliers to lower their prices so much that they are forced to move to China. Because of this, a sizeable portion of former well paid, blue collar, manufacturing jobs have been lost.

It really is hard to find anything made in America now a days.

Socialism is not a political system, it's a way of distributing goods and services. Ideally, socialism and capitalism could be very similar as everyone will produce exactly what's needed for exactly who needs it when they need it.

Socialism is liberal. More people (preferably everyone) have some say in how the economy works. Democracy is liberal. More people (preferably everyone) have some say in how the government works.

Communism is conservative. Fewer and fewer people have any say in how the economy works. Republicans are conservative. Fewer and fewer people have any say in how the government works.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

And I say Praise the Lord to that!!

How 'bout you?

Is it just Vietnam/1960's era nostalgics and young minions stuck in liberal schools who think this way? We're doomed as a country if this is the thought processes of the younger generation. Emotion does not a logical thought make. I'm sad for my future children. This country won't be around for them if my peers (I'm 25 myself) all reason the way most of the folks that answered that question do. :(

Bring on the hate mail...

So the US Presidential election is what a whole year away, so why not put down the fan fare (which bores the rest of the World to death !) and focus on rebuilding your own decimated economy, because you arn't faring to well for a "Super Power" on balance of trade and foreign exchange issues, with a plummeting $US

I'm far more concerned with Australias up coming Federal election next month where we elect to retain our current Prime Minister and follow the US path, or turn to Labour and a change of Government after 11 years of John Howard Leadership ! Either way the US will remain the same, but the imlications for us in Australia are far more immediate. Please stop boring the rest of the World to death US !

I'm a single mother and my oldest daughter will be starting
3rd grade this year...I am interested in homeschooling her for a number of reasons....the schools that she has been in are academically inept and with the way the youth of today are going...honestly I don't want her around just any child...who I don't know. I am quite capable of handling the responsibilty and am even willing to change the way I make a living so that I will have the day free with my daughters (also have a 2 year old).
Her father didn't give me a chance to really explain myself or how I plan to accomplish this...he just said no. Does he have a leg to stand on? We were divorced when my daughter was 2 and neither ever went to court for her. She spends her time equally between the two and we each support her on our own for the most part. I am her main parent, the one that makes sure that everything for her gets done and handled..big or small. Can he stop me? She is currently in a school under my address

According to our intelligence community Al Qaeda is regrouping and plotting and planning new attacks.

If that's true how difficult could it possibly be to infiltrate the areas they are in and get them?

Wal-Mart also gets an unusual amount of subsidies from the government (over a billion dollars), shuts down small businesses, drives property values down, exports jobs to China, gives horrible working conditions to sweatshop workers, and shuts down schools, police stations, and others.

and that by using government to provide education and job training, people can rise out of poverty?

"There are, in every country, some magnificent charities established by individuals. It is, however, but little that any individual can do, when the whole extent of the misery to be relieved is considered. He may satisfy his conscience, but not his heart. He may give all that he has, and that all will relieve but little. It is only by organizing civilization upon such principles as to act like a system of pulleys, that the whole weight of misery can be removed... The plan here proposed will reach the whole. It will immediately relieve and take out of view three classes of wretchedness-the blind, the lame, and the aged poor; and it will furnish the rising generation with means to prevent their becoming poor; and it will do this without deranging or interfering with any national measures."

we went to make sure Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction - they didn't. check. we went to get rid of saddam. he's been tried and hung. check. we went to defeat the taliban. they no longer exist. check. WAR OVER. GAME OVER. we should take everyone out of Irag and put them in afghanistan and pakistan to search out Osama. Anyone acts up anywhere else, ever again - we go in full force with small nukes. PERIOD. we are done. You have a problem with it, then you are an american terrorist. By keeping our soldiers overseas it is terrifying to their families back home. Anyone who forces them to stay over seas and fight a war that people no longer understand are terrorists.

..just curious. All that I hear about is tax cuts, and more military spending. Where exactly should the money come from?

They run from him because they know most Americans do not like or respect the job Bush is doing running the country.

But, how exactly, are they that different then him?

They support the same stay the course strategy on Iraq.

They support his tax cuts and huge increases in defense and security spending, and the resulting deficits that come with it.

And they LARGELY support his limits on abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage, and his anti-terrorism strategy, government bought by corporate lobbyists, free-trade/outsourcing ideas, etc, etc.

When are the conservatives going to get some backbone and fight these neo-communist liberal democrats who are constantly trying to take what is rightfully ours? Not even a year has gone passed since the dems won and they've already proposed raising the gas tax, cigarette and cigar tax, capital gains tax, income tax, etc. Please tell me that we will vote these S.O.B.'s out of office and send them to the way of the USSR.

According to Snopes, 40% of undocumented are paid in cash, not in a regular check with deductions. That means 60% of them are paid with a check and have the same deductions

The minutemen site (obviously biased) states that it is 62% that are paid in cash.

So, respectively, 38 - 60% of them are, in fact, paying taxes on their income.

Plus, they pay taxes when they buy a home, a car. They pay taxes when they purchase anything from a store. Sales tax is paid. They pay property taxes if they own a home. They pay tolls on our roads, they buy gas from our stations, they pay for entrance into ball games, six flags, water parks, etc. They pay for dinner out, for party supplies, food, groceries, and clothing. They pay for electricity and gas, water and sewer.

While 38-60% is a fairly low number, it means that about half of them DO PAY TAXES. And, by both sites agreement, those that don't are nearly always migrant workers, and, are only in the country for a couple months

What has any increase in federal tax dollars cured?? (meaning the social ills you champion). All the canidates are either suggesting new taxes or repealing the tax cuts of Bush (i.e. raising taxes). How will the new money help when the money all ready being siphoned out of my wallet and redistributed has done nothing to cure the problem?
