I certainly do NOT, why should we be lumped in with France,Germany and the like?
Should we remain our own little ever sinking island or become followers of the Euro rule....?

i would like the choice to vote but any more i dont have a choice because the democratic party doesnt ever do anything they just raise taxes and sit back thats it.. There is alot of key issues comming up will a democrat do something about it? Mr bush failed and he is republican but as bad as he is he was trying to take a step forward and yes we took a giant leap back but thats what im looking for in a president is somebody who is going to at least give it a try instead of sitting there and raise taxes and scapegoat key issues such as immigration, war and other things. Please tell me who is running for democrat. I hope he is willing to do something other then raise taxes and sit on his / lol maybe her butt

...that belong to different political parties, do you often argue about politics? Or do you refrain from talking politics for fear of arguing and disagreeing?

we were drawn into both wars by what turned out to be false statements and facts. during the vietnam war the democrats ran the government and everyone thought that things would be better if a republican were in office. fastforward 40 years and it is flipped around. both are wars against terrorist and insurgents.also known as gorillas. both have lasted longer then ww2 did. {on thanksgiving day we will have passed that mark} we learned that it takes a 10 to 1 ratio to win a gorilla war but we still think that we can do it with a minamum number of troops.

There is a lot of opposition, but I don't know why? What is a good reason? I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact I'm all for it. People put up fences and brick walls between their neighbors even if they get along so why shouldn't the USA?

for as long as a president persists?
The president's legal advisers have made it clear that it does not matter if the prisoner is seized on a battlefield overseas or in some sleepy town in the American heartland. And it does not matter if the prisoner is a foreign national or an American citizen.

The al Qaeda terrorist network is an evil organization that must be vanquished. But as we go about that task, we must not lose sight of what we are defending. Free societies do not "just happen." Freedom in America rests upon a framework of checks and balances that was designed by men who were steeped in history and political philosophy. If that framework is neglected, constitutional guarantees will become nothing more than hollow promises on pieces of paper. - Timothy Lynch

When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in ... and how many want out."


Do you have any thoughts on this statement?
True or not?

Why OH Why are Republicans and Democrats fighting over who done what and who did not do what, just to get a vote?Its STUPID STUPID STUPID that the people in office have to down grade each other and/or the other "Party" to get a vote.Its a "Slap in the Face" to the voters and to the American People!
Why cant the goverment see that there is a "NUCLEAR" threat which could kill millions of people rather they are Demorcrat or Republican and put an end to the crisis.
Any thoughts on this????????

Away from your political leanings please. Communism is a economical model not a political one. It is actually the opposite of capitalism. Dictatorship is the opposite of democracy. You technically could have a democratic communism (see star trek) I find communism a utopian idea that has not or can not be applied with the present human mind. (nor would I want it to) Even in capitalism people try to screw the system, and we have seen what they do in "communism.

So where did this misunderstanding come from. Is it just left over from the cold war (which is my thought) or is it capitalist propoganda (everybody uses it, to think they don't is nieve). What do you think?

Just to avoid the insults I'm thinking of the framework of political philosophy/ history I am not a communist (I don't have that much trust for my fellow man or leaders).

Watch the analysis by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann titled "Why does Habeas Corpus hate America?" and tell me whether you think the Bill of Rights has or has not been repealed by the 2006 Military Commissions Act.

I know the U.S. is a republic form of govt. It is also a Presidential form of govt. We are also a federalist nation.
But the fact is, that we live in what is called, an INDIRECT DEMOCRACY.
The Greeks had a direct democracy, in which the people held elections. The candidates with the more votes simply got elected to rule.
Our system is based on that ancient one, but far more complex. It is an indirect democracy. We elect senators and the House members to represent us. And when we vote for the president, we have the electoral college, which further separates our indirect democracy from a direct democracy.
I see the arguement used mostly by Republicans, who say that we don't live in a democracy whenever Democrats say that we do.
We do live in a democracy, as well as a republic form of govt. Please understand.

But why are many people so uneducated not to know this? It's kind of shameful to undermine our American ideals by stating that we don't live in a democracy.
