Politics & Government - 13 December 2007

I find it fascinating that some people in a society that values freedom actually work to usher in or support politicians that want things that are normally associated with fascism, such warmongering, enhanced exectutive powers and reduced legilstative or judicial powers, approval of torture, increased criticism of press that disagrees with government, the smearing of all sorts of dissenters as traitors, increased monitoring of citizens without cause, and last but not least...the convenient labeling of anyone and everyone who disagrees with your agenda on any one of a myriad of issues as being part of one group. Clearly any normal freedom loving person can see the dangers that all these policies bring, so my question is how does an honnest freedom loving pro democracy person go down the path where they agree with all this stuff?

I don't understand why the EU accepts China's argument that their per capita emissions are lower than the West's and therefore shouldn't be subject to mandatory emissions cuts? Does the ozone layer care what the per capita emissions of a nation are? If this is such an crisis I would think the UN would be demanding emissions cuts from EVERYONE, not just the wealthiest nations (especially China). This sounds like a socialist redistribution of wealth scheme to me.

I´ve been reading about Polish accepting low pay jobs, wich is true ( I know about a few of them working in pubs for as little as 4 quid /hour + living in+only 1 day off). Should we blame them or is the greedy employer the one to blame??

Many scientists believe that it is. This is from the U.S. Senate's web page.

Sounds like more than a few very well respected scientists believe it is. And they have more than a few peer reviewed studies to back up their thinking.

So that they can ask ridiculous third-grade (no offense, third graders!) nonsense, like this...

Resolved Questions in Politics
Why Libs Don't Trust Law Abiding Citizens?
Why Are Libs Tax Pushers?
Why Do Libs Love Rapists?
Why Do Libs Hate A Free America?

I think it shows that they not only know they're wrong, but that they can't handle being reminded of it.\

No wonder he hates free speech...oh, wait...

Please explain without bashing the other party. If you are not mature enough to have a debate without arguing, I ask that you skip this question. Thank you!

If a judge or jury ruled out that adeath penalty sentence for someone how does this make you feel?

Do you think it's right? If you think the death penalty such as lethal injection or the electric chair is ok then how do you feel about the person that is responsible for making it happen?
Should the person starting the lethal injection or turning on the electric chair be responsible for the death of that person?

Do you not agree with the death penalty? If you don't agree with the death penalty then what are your thoughts about those repeat sex offenders or rapist? What do you think we should do with them?

When you think about it... ever since Bush Sr. was VP, the Bush's and Clinton's have dominated the whitehouse.... If Hillary is a 2 term president, these 2 families will be in the whitehouse for 36 years!!

Do we really want to continue with the poisoned politics from these 2 families?

Under President Bush the national debt has skyrocketed going from about 5.5 trillion to over 9 trillion! It was going down during the Clinton administration for the first time after it had skyrocketed under Reagon and Bush Sr. yet Clinton's sexual act overshadowed the progress he was making for the country to the point he was prosecuted to get kicked out of office, but there's not even a consideration for it for the president who has nearly doubled the nation's debt? I don't get it!
