And why. If you feel that President Clinton was somehow immoral, please give a brief outline of your system of morals, thank you.

I believe in sending american jobs overseas to make more money for big corporations, and I approve of eavesdropping on americans citizens without cause, randomly to keep them safe.

Am I a right winger, a left winger, or a nazi?

Do all you non-military families and people show your support, and if so, how?

I have to lead kindergarteners in the pledge every day, and it doesn't make sense to me that they are "pledging" to anything, including a country - at least until they are adults.

They call each other bi(ches and are more critical/judgemental of each other. (And are proud of it)

When the guy cheats, the woman automatically blames the other woman. What if the women didnt know? If you didnt notice, guys like to lie to get sex.

When many women dress they don't even dress for men, they dress to compete with each other. You know who you are.

If women dont respect each other then how can we expect respect from men? If women don't respect each other can they be leaders of nations? Can't we women just stick together no matter what? We get enough lying, cheating, bashing from a male dominated society.

The democratic argument: The concentration of wealth in a small group allows for anti-democratic influence of social policy. The wealthy have the ability to create their own "think tanks" and astro-turf front organizations. These are then used to create the perception that the public is in support of their self-serving objectives. Recent studies have shown how these techniques were used in the repeal of the estate tax debate as well as in the rise of new factions opposing the liberal social policies of the Episcopal church. When such vast amounts of money are under the control of a tiny group the basic mechanisms of democracy are undermined.

According to U.S. Historical Documents and the U.S. Constitution the states are sovereign. If that is the case then, except on federal property, I believe that the State flag should fly above the federal flag on flag poles. This is the way I display them at my home. As a military veteran I took an oath to support the constitution-and that includes the 10th amendment and so I fly the flag of my state ABOVE the american federal government's flag on my flagpole.

I support our troops all the way. But I dont support the war itself. We had a great foriegn policy system up till Bush. Do you support the troops, just not the war?

Yo, just want to ask: whats your opinion on gun control? I think it is a stupid idea! We have a right in the constitution to have guns! Aint nobody going to take that from me! I love to have guns. Protection and for hunting. A 12 gauge shotgun will protect you more than the police in my area(I live way far from the closest town)

I don't care about "how tough life would be". Or what I "could not do".

I just want somebody to show me 1 single state or federal law that requires me to have an ID at all.

I am an American, I am free, I am secure in my person and in my papers.

Thanks.

or what a democratic congress will do?
Its always "dont elect them or the country will fall apart...blah blah blah".

Now, in my opinion, how can they say this with a straight face after nearly 8 years of Bush as president, and after all those years of republican dominated congresses?

This is sheer deceipt and hypocrisy.....nothing more...for someone to stand up and say...that the democrats will do more harm to country than the GOP has all those previous years. I am no great fan of the democrats either...for I see them in cohoots with the GOP on many of the policies doing most harm to american citizens. But the hypocrisy and fearmongering of the GOP supporters is really astonishing.

In this section I see people saying all the time that we (Americans) can't blame illegals for overstaying their visas or coming here legally because they are just coming here to work hard, make money, and don't want to stay forever. To me this is ridiculous. Why is it America's responsibility to let everyone else make money and leave here? Why should America support anyone coming here that does not want to be AMERICAN? I'm not saying that people should forget where they come from, but I do believe that people should immigrate to a new country with the intention of becoming a part of that country.

Agree? Disagree? Why or why not?

I co-signed for a cell phone a couple years ago for a former roommate of mine. He moved out, but had been paying the cell bills regularly so I didn't take the phone away. We parted on good terms- our lease was up, and I was expecting a baby so it just worked out for us to each move into our own separate apartments. He wound up with another roommate. This second roommate (who I never knew and had no agreement with regarding the phone) used my former roommate's phone and ran up a HUGE bill that I wasn't aware of until about six months ago when I tried to take out a loan for a car and was denied because of a collections account on my credit rating. Do I sue my former roommate? Or my former roommate's former roommate for the cell bill? I know this is confusing..

My former roommate is saying he didn't know the other guy was using the phone until the bill came in and that he wasn't able to afford the bill the other guy ran up. He and I fell out of touch and he never let me know (cont'd)

Every federal official - including the President - who takes an oath of office swears to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Yet we hear Bush say: “Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

President Bush has proposed seven amendments to the Constitution over the last five years, including a controversial amendment to define marriage as a “union between a man and woman.” Members of Congress have proposed some 11,000 amendments over the last decade, ranging from repeal of the right to bear arms to a Constitutional ban on abortion.

All these events make us want to ask, Should we obey the constitution or what? Yet, rest assure that the danger of tinkering with the Constitution comes from a loss of rights!
