Of the people for the people..........things seem to have gotten bought up.........by the rich or greedy.........there are us regular people that feel as though we are being taken for a ride and we are being left without choices and/or truths. All we ever do is work eat sleep and do it all over again...like owned slaves.

Mud slinging lost them THREE elections.

British people know their priorities are the NHS and Education

which are funded by Labour .

The Tories want Privatised medicine and privatised schools.

During their 18 years the hospitals and schools were run

down without repairs or new building

Labour had to spend all their time reversing that trend.

The best example was when hundreds of thousands marched through London to protest the war in the Middle East and the Government did absolutely nothing regardless of all the protesters? I'm fairly sure there are countless other examples in other countries as well.

Given the fact that as a people, us Brits are easily walked over, that so many stood up in protest and nothing was done, how can people say we live in a democratic society?

I was recuntly vacationing in Thailand and was having a political conversation with and incredibly intelligent man from Denmark. He was very well educated on american politics but he had one question that I could not explain well. He said that most Europeans don't understand why americans are so obsessed with guns and why they make it such a big political issue like it is the only thing that matters in government. He said that in most European countries it is legal to own guns but most people just don't care either way. It it in our constutution that the right exists and no one plans to change the constitution. Even if some one did try it would take a president to agree and like 2/3 of congress and senate to make the change. So why are so many americans obsessed and why do they vote like this is the only thing that really matters??

Yet China can have NO OTHER future than that of peace and democracy if one listens to the "wisdom" of the day. That Wal-Mart's daily profiteering from and investing in Communism for two decades, with both Clinton's help, to avoid living wages at home and undermine American labor, enriching and saving a failed regime that murdered tens of millions of it's own people to maximize company profit is GOOD for the Chinese people!? This argument is as stupid and insulting today as it ever was and sadly even educated and well-meaning people puke the Hillary line despite all our expense. Wake up please, WAKE UP! Hillary and Bill Clinton, Robson and Jim Walton and David Glass and Lee Scott are traiters and should meet justice and WAL-MART IS AN OPERATING NATIONAL SECURITY RISK THAT MUST BE DISMANTLED! The future of the free world is at stake. If you choose to defend these people then first answer my question. You cant free a slave by enriching the owner so please stop asserting that stupidity!

Ive been on here about a week already and i find it to be a fascinating forum to discuss ideas and educate myself on many issues. However i cannot ever recall a time when i have seen so much name calling and ranting and raving by both sides of the "political" spectrum. There was a time in this country when both DEMs and REPs could put aside their innate differences and work together in the best interest of Americans and the USA. Dont you think its time we all started doing the same?

This bill is directed toward American citizens who believe in other religions or alternative theories of our government. In light of the 9-11 research that tells us the official report is a lie...anyone who challenges the government and their practices can be labeled as a terriost. People lose their rights to trial by jury and representation. If this passes the House...it will be the end of our civil liberties....Please research this one too.

A New York Police Officer went to the NY DMV and requested vanity plates that said "GETOSAMA".

The DMV denied his request saying that the plate would be deemed offensive.

The plate is not insulting any ethnic group, but only supporting the US search for Binladen.

NY DMV spokesman Ken Brown said that such a plate is inappropriate.

Is he right?

The U.S. is a superpower. We have the largest economy, greatest global influence, powerful military, vast diversity, the world's longest surviving federation, the source of remarkable literature and art. That list could go on forever.

So how is it, considering all of this, that our currency is quickly losing value, our government has lost the people's trust, our health care system is one of the worst in the world, citizen's can't earn a proper education, homelessness persists through some of the world's most lavish cities, and to top it off we are not as beloved around the world as we think we are?

Does this depress you as much as it does me?

What can I do to make the United States the country that it ought to be? The land of the free and home of the brave...
