Seems they are always called right wing, but somehow I feel that isn't right.

They supported welfare programs for the Germans.
They banned companies from firing people.
They subsidized holidays for Germans (Kraft durch Freude).
They spead lies about the Jews, just as the modern left does about Israel.
They were very much in favor of natural laws, banned vivisection on pain of death.
Euthanasia is also something modern lefties like (culture of death).

Sounds pretty left wing/socialist to me. Come to think of it, they actually were socialists.

The "terrorists" that were caught in Florida suspected of plotting to blow up buildings in Chicago were black americans (2 were Haitian) and were from the hood. They had no money, no weapons, no chemicals and no direction - basically a lot of hot air. Even the media said their plotting was more aspirational than operational. Should they be charged as terrorists?

Lets say one day eveyone got sick of living with each other. So now we became two countries. All the Republicans moved to one side of the country and all the Democats moved to the other side. Then one day we went to war. Which side do you think would win? And why would that side win?

Heres my prediction:
When the two countries formed liberals would have banned guns so none of there civilains would have had firearms to protect themselves. Conservaties would have made it easier to purcahse firearms to more of the populations would be armed. Liberals would push for negoitations and not for war. Conservaties would arm themseleves right away for war. Each side would brand the other side as "terrorists". The conservative side would have a strong military and the liberals would have a very litte if any military. Liberals would keep pushing for more negotiations and Conservaties would come in to the liberal country in the middle of the night and take over faster than we took over Afganistan.

whose lives were effected by the Jim Crow Laws in the South?

Before the civil rights movement, the "separate but equal" farce provided inferior schooling and housing. Not to mention separate water fountains, restrooms, and being forced to the back of the bus.

The KKK was allowed to run rampant, burning churches and lynching people with little to no fear of prosecution.

Should the people who were treated this way be compensated? Why or why not?

Bush ignores laws he inks, vexing Congress By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
29 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A bill becomes the rule of the land when Congress passes it and the president signs it into law, right?


Not necessarily, according to the White House. A law is not binding when a president issues a separate statement saying he reserves the right to revise, interpret or disregard it on national security and constitutional grounds.

That's the argument a Bush administration official is expected to make Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who has demanded a hearing on a practice he considers an example of the administration's abuse of power.

"It's a challenge to the plain language of the Constitution," Specter said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm interested to hear from the administration just what research they've done to lead them to the conclusion that they can cherry-pick."

anyone else a little worried that the religious are in control of our nation's government? these people that are supposed to make important possibly life altering and future shaping decisions that are supposedly based on facts and research and reflect our citizen's hopes and concerns, tend to make their decisions based on the basis of their religious backgrounds. i don't know about you, but i don't want some guy who believes that jesus is going to "take us home" next year to be calling the shots in washington or have any sort of power at all. they world may very well end soon, but i don't want that to effect mine or anyone else's lives today.
