Do the dems Clinton, Pelosi and the like accept the fact that eventually, we will be serving our fanactial muslim masters?
They won't defend General Petraeus against the indesciable attack by their friends at MoveOn.org.. An outfit that wants to see the defeat of our country. Also, they want to turn and run when many aspects of the conflict in Iraq are positive.

I already asked this question in a specific subset of sociology, where I hoped to get an enlightened response, but only got the typical anti-war resoponses. So, to a more average, militaristic audience, where is the unity and support for the soldiers and their mission that existed in World War 2? I'm not saying to blindly believe whatever the politicians tell us. I have issues with how the war got started and things that have happened. But, shady dealings and bad decisions will always happen and always have happened (internment of Japanese Americans in WWII, segregated units, etc.), its in human nature. By holding rallies "against the war" (ie against their mission), you provide propaganda material for the enemy and hurt the morale of the troops. Morale effects the troops more than any civilian could understand, and it can result in additional casualties or emotionally damaged soldiers who questioned their decision to join (so don't say you oppose the war and support the troops).

Republicans and Democrats, no matter how they quarrel, say that USA must stay in Iraq. The public opinion is to withdraw ASAP.
What does it mean for the democracy this indifference of the two clans?

In my opinion, the Holocaust has NOT been proven, and in the least it has been greatly exxagerated. I believe we should let this man speak without namecalling by the Jews that have a monopoly on America's media and America's politics.

I know the arguments for a flat tax, but have never really seen a coherent argument about why such a flat tax system would be bad. I've puzzled over why our current convoluted system is good for anyone other than tax accountants. Can you give me a cogent argument for the current system instead of a simpler flat tax? (Please remain civil. I am going to be a hard sell here, since I already believe the flat tax would make more sense. A convincing argument will have to be thoughtful and provide facts. Name calling won't help me understand your point of view. I've made mistakes or had lapses in information before, and as a result have changed my mind. I can be convinced if you provide a solid answer.)

For years, birthrates in Western countries have been sub-replacement fertility (and barely replacement in the US). This goes back about 40 years.

At the same time, the Muslims (who already hate us, which is a result of 50+ years of foolish foreign policy) have very strong fertility rates. Might the Muslims decide to invade some Western countries and engage in nation-building about 50 years from now? Or might they just decide to conquer us and create a World Islamic Government? The Muslims are going to run Europe in a few decades, as a result of Europe's underpopulation.

Even if the Muslims don't invade, underpopulation could severely harm our economy. If you think outsourcing is a problem now, wait until there are alot fewer American workers in a few years when the Baby Boomers retire.

How are going to deal with Underpopulation in order to prevent Western Civilization from being wiped out?

I keep hearing people that we have a problem in the USA that people do not have health insurance. Another problem we have is that people do not drive with adequate auto insurance or collision.

To me the government does not belong mandating healthcare coverage, however this train wreck is coming down the pike real soon. Since we are into the social programs, why don't we make auto insurance a government funded program as well. That way we all have equal coverage should we get into an accident.

Thoughts on this crazy idea?

I have voted Rublican since 1981, Ronald Reagan won me over...I love Reagan. Yet I am sick of Republicans who run on the right and then govern from the left. I DEMAND smaller LESS intrusive government...I want LOWER taxes, Less government regulations. The Republican party has left me behind...we NO longer have the same values. In 2004 I gave the leadership ONE more chance...now I'm done! And no I am not wasting my vote...if anything I will be sending a message!!


Anyone else coming with me?

I would like to think that the Politics section of Y!A is made up of readers, so I would like to know what everyone is reading right now. I'm currently reading the book "Germany: A New History" by Hagen Schulze.

Why do we have such a problem with illegal immigration? Why would minorities or poor people from countries like Mexico want to risk their lives to come here just to face more discrimination and oppression?

Why would anybody bother to come here to live if the United States is as bad as the ant-American crowd makes it out to be? If you believe the mantra of many left leaning liberals/socialists, the United States is a racist, intolerant country where the rich and powerful take advantage of downtrodden minorities and poor people. According to them, there's mostly only justice for wealthy white people. People become successful not by hard work and education, but by cheating and taking advantage of those weaker than themselves.

I know this country is far from perfect, but to listen to many of the liberal extremists, the United States must be a horrible place to live. But apparently immigrants, both legal and illegal, must not be paying any attention to them.

What are some of your opinions on this subject. Should we allow the illegals here to stay or should we possibly cap the amount of people coming legally.

What is your opinion on what this does to our country/government?

Let me try this again, the last question had alot of answers from people who didnt want to do anything other than earn points. Is there a record kept of what time an officer is actually dispatched and actual time of arrival other than his own word he puts on the report. Are there dispatch records that would contain this information if you are in disagreement of what the arrest/incident report says? My DUI charge has a time issue. In Tenneessee Blood Alcohol tests are inadmissable as evidence in court if administered 2 hours or more after initial detention/detainment. its in the Tennessee Statutes and i have spoken to various lawyers on the matter. i disagree with the times on the incident report. Are there actual dispatch records that are kept for offical times of dispatch and arrival? would they have to prove these times in court if questioned? Would i have access to this before my court date? Very curious on this. Can do without answers that involve me manning up and facing the music

It seems these days that the only thing people respond to is imminent threat. Would it take the present and real threat of global destruction to create a situation where a real and lasting peace could come about? or is there another way? If there is.. im just not seeing it yet.

oh well may be we will see a bunch of mexicans on the next terrorist attack.

But I dont think this will ever happen becuase mexicans are so lazy (< information taken from racist) that they are just going to sit back and wait until al qaeda makes another one.
