President Bush was a member of the Secret society skull and bones at Princeton his father and Grandfather were also members. One of the teachings of the secret society is a New World Order or one world government. It seems to me that he wants all nations to be a democratic society. What do you think?

Are you like me and frustrated with the way our Government is conducting itself? Do you feel like you have a voice in how things are in this country? Are you happy? Is special interest/Big Business basically dictating policy, while average Americans are struggling to survive?

From what I understood in History class, the Civil Rights Movement had many points, one was to end Segregation. Yet I look around and Segregation is still alive and well, and very accepted too. NAACP, United ***** College, BET, Miss Black America, Congressional Balck Caucus and so on...
So what's the deal?

I find it hilarious that Bush during his "rubber-stamp" presidency, who vetoed his FIRST bill in late '06 sits in judgement of this bill. So, why do neo-cons try to use this as an excuse for Bush's impending veto? The argument is just not valid when you look at his track-record? Does anyone else see this and feel it's hypocrisy?


Under Republicans, pork spending has grown by estimates of as much as 600% across ALL spending bills. Nothing better illustrates the meltdown in spending restraint than earmarking, the process by which members secure special pork projects, ex. Alaska's infamous $223 million "bridge to nowhere."
2001-2005 period marks the transformation of the Rep. party from its traditional role as a win-or-lose guardian of limited government to that of a majority government party just as comfortable with big government as the Dems, only with different spending priorities," says Chris DeMuth, pres. of the A.E.I.

It seems that in a democracy you have to advertise and sell yourself to get into a position of power, so the people who get in are always people who like to talk rather than to listen, not people of wisdom. I can see them running good businesses, but not good for the countries.

Surely there is a way to choose people who are good leaders because of there ability to lead, not because of their ability to do something unrelated.

My favourite political system is the star trek one where people are tested in school for what they would be good at and then trained for it, and given a job in it, so leaders are always people with a natural ability and training - not just someone who wants the job.

I know there's one word to describe this but I can't think of it, it's not widely used outside the us. It's a bit like a strike but not quite I think

I am so sick of U.S. citizens making anti remarks and burning the flag or burning soldiers or the president in effegy. What
kind of message does that sent to the rest of the world .?
I STRONGLY believe that kind of crap should be banned from tv. Yea, I know all about "freedom of speech"
But we are "SPINNING" freedom of speech and turning it into
discraceful anti american remarks. The president is not always right. Try his job to see how easy it is. Remember
we are suppose to be "UNITED" but the people who are trying to "crush" us ,are winning. Not because they can defeat our military, but because WE are falling apart, letting those
"scabs" get on tv and denouncing every move the the office
of the president makes. Imagine yourself, trying to make difficult decisions for your family and your family constantly
criticizing your every move. What kind of results would that lead to. "Shame" on Main Stream TV and U.S. newpapers.
Shame on Them.............
