As many of you recall..President Bill Clinton got impeached for lying about sex he had with another consenting adult. George W.Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. His action has resulted in many, many unnecessary deaths of Americans and has torn this world apart. If you don't recall, way back when this Iraq mess got started, that his reasoning for going to war was the WMD, I suggest you do an internet search and verify this for yourself. The question is:

Why did Clinton get impeached for lying about sex and G.W.Bush not get impeached for lying about a war?

I heard it was even worse ... it lasts a life time and they hope you die before you collect it all or figure out how you've been screwed. Also it is manditory so even if you figure out its BS you can't opt out. The politicians get to spend the money on whatever and don't go to jail for this scheme because dead people can't complian. Can anyone prove this wrong???? Tell me it isn't so? If this is the case then why wouldn't Americans Privatize Social Security and invest in idividual accounts protected through self ownership and throw out any politician who would argue otherwise? People can't be that Stupid can they?

People banding together for the common good.

That's what liberalism is all about, despite what the brainwashed here think.

I was listening to Glenn Beck's show tonight on XM . He had Former Israeli PM Netanyahu on as a guest. It seems as though Netanyahu is one of the few leaders of a westernised country who actually has a grasp on what dangers face the western world, if the jihadists and governments like Syria and Iran are allowed to continue their current direction in the world. "He stated that back in the 70s and 80s that the Soviets had the ability to destroy the US with it's nuclear weapons. But did not do so because they too would be destroyed. They were not suicidal , so they were detered. Iran and the radical Islamists cannot be detered. They believe that in order to bring about the return of the 12th imam , they must instigate WW III . Therefore Iran cannot be able to attain nuclear weapons" Would someone please ask Benjamin Netanyahu to run for president of the United States !?!?

Do you think that, should a draft be enlisted, women should have to go to?

Women receive the same privileges men do. They have all the same political, and economic rights. They can run for President, they can vote, they can be CEO's of bulti- billion dollar companies, they receive all the same governmental privileges as men do. If a draft was to be enlisted, do you think women ought to go this time?

Why do people from the "Old World" APPEASE Terrorism?
This article is intended to be directed toward spinless Europeans and NOT the Brave one's that have, unfortunately, caught a bad name for living on the same land-mass as these morally and intelligently weak individuals. This in particular is NOT directed toward Great Britain (our greatest ally despite the BBC)..

So my question...ah...how do you explain this cowardice and lack of conviction in a just and nobal cause: DEFEATING TERRORISM

I always knew it was, but it took a GERMAN (if you can imagine that..lol) to illustrate this FACT...This is the TRUEST thing you will ever read about the European's method of foreign/world policy.........All I can say is...Thank God for America...and the United Kingdom...(whom is far closer to America than she is Europe)...
(Commentary by Mathias Dapfner CEO, Axel Springer, AG)

A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Weltam Sonntag, "Europe - your family name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true.

Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.

Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.

Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us.

Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word quidistance,"now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians.

Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace-movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush... Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U.N. Oil-for-Food program. And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form! of appeasement. How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere? By suggesting that we really should have a "Muslim Holiday" in Germany?

I wish I were joking, but I am not. A substantial fraction of our (German) Government, and if the polls are to be believed, the German people, actually believe that creating an Official State "Muslim Holiday" will somehow spare us from the wrath of the fanatical Islamists. One cannot help but recall Britain's Neville Chamberlain waving the laughable treaty signed by Adolph Hitler, and declaring European "Peace in our time". What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it? There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization's utter destruction. It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of t he great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by "tolerance" and "accommodation" but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness.

Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush.

His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans know the truth. We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and virtual slavery. And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair, acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War against democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed. In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of defending liberal society's values! and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China.


On the contrary - we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those arrogant Americans", as the World Champions of "tolerance", which even (Germany's Interior Minister) Otto Schily justifiably criticizes. Why? Because we're so moral? I fear it's more because we're so materialistic so devoid of a moral compass.

For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy - because unlike almost all of Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake - literally everything.

While we criticize the "capitalistic robber barons" of America because they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems. Stay out of it! It could get expensive! We'd rather discuss reducing our 35-hour workweek or our dental cover! age, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation... Or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to "reach out to terrorists. To understand and forgive".


These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor's house.

Appeasement? Europe, thy name is Cowardice.

I lived in New Orleans for 8 years prior to Katrina. I and everyone who lived there knew the dangers of having a hurricane enter the lake or what might happen in the event of torrential rains. No one in there right mind believed the levee's would hold or that the pumps would get the water out fast enough. Now with all this knowledge before hand why is the Federal Goverment the scapegoat? What about the Mayor and the Governor? I'm not looking for flaming rants, I would like to fully understand why the Feds have to pay?

If you actually learn how your govt works, you will realize just how little power/authority the president has.

I think its because learning all the names of our congress members takes too much effort, and just blaming the president over and over is so much easier.
