Other - Politics & Government - October 2006

Why there is no government-led health care or social care system in the U.S.? Well, there is social security, but it is not really a good one compared to the other nations like France, Japan, etc. Ours is really poor.

I think this lack of quality national care creates many problem in this society.

Why there isn't a such one? And will there be?

They really sound so ignorant and they think they are so clever.

They contribute nothing worth while or constructive.

They can never state facts and when they do try they show they are not even aware what is going on in the world today. I think they spend 24 hours a day on Y.A.

What purpose/goal are we serving by being in Iraq?

(I support us staying there, but I still wonder why we're there. Thank you!)

I see the studipest questions from liberals (Why do republicans drink oil and want to kill poor people, so on and so on) and think that all the responses are going to be democrat blogger fests. But when I read the majority of responses, they are reasoned and logical.

I read the paper and watch the news and get the idea that I'm the only sane person left. It'snot true. People here in this forum give me hope! I'll see you at the polls! (And I'll see dems at counselling centers and courtrooms)

Democracy doesn't work, not everybody has their say, but it is still the best we have, but there must be an alternative, is there, where freedom, equality and the right to pursue happiness is for all and not just the rich, is there?

What are Americans more concerned about, I asked a stupid question about Americans not being awake yet and get all the snotty answers, I ask a serious question about maybe the American govt. is bordering on fascism and no real reaction from the, usually I would get the standard 'what do you know you terrorist' reaction, what gives, is it possible that American priorities are not what they should, do they care more about stupid questions on the internet rather than their own govt.?

I know this question opens the door for a lot of stupid jokes and insults from both sides but I'm serious. Liberal and Conservative are labels from the 19th Century that don’t work in the 21st.
For example:
Nation Building and what we're doing in Iraq: is that a liberal or conservative idea?

The national debt: putting more and more of a burden on future generations. Is that a liberal or conservative thing when both parties are guilty?

I can and will ask the same thing about big government. Conservatives used to be against it but now under their watch, the federal government is bigger that it ever was.

Think about it and give me your answer. Please try to restrain yourself from making silly Lib & Con jokes.

While homes are given to all the immigrants first! How ironic that the very people fighting to save this country from terrorism are pushed aside for housing to let terrorist in!

I find the current administration and nearly everything it stands for - a police state, perpetual war, spending recklessly while taxing the poor and middle class, corruption, hypocricy, etc. repugnant.

On the other hand I am not a classic liberal - I think a lot of the New Society had to be repealed. And I find the Democrats politically weak.

SO, what's left for reasonable Americans? I feel more and more like a Libertarian. I wish there was a Moderate or Centrist Party.

The level of division in our country *due* to politics is my concern. I would have to say that at no time in history has the sanctity of our country been more threatened. We can't live blindly that our country is unified to the point that nothing bad can happen to us. We all need to start seeing that and putting our differences aside for the sake of our country.

Are there people on both sides of the political arena who feel this same way? If so, what should we do?

The Americans like to call the Iraqi freedom fighters Islamo-fascists, what exactly is this? Now a government who passes a law like the patriot act, alows certain torture invades sovereign countries and tells the rest of the world you are with us or we will **** you next, is this not Hitler like?

but take for granted their right to blather.

Meanwhile, they seem anxious to suppress everyone else's right to speak, assemble or worship differently.

eliminate world poverty. giving people freedom, choice and opportunity and teaching to accept rather tolerate we would leave this world in a better state for generations to come. all religions teach love and respect not killing people to disagree with your opinion. ACCEPTANCE IS BETTER THAN TOLERANCE.

According to Americans the always follow the diplomatic route and war is only a last alternative, of course this is from a man who declared himself a 'war' president, so how then is America always falling on the last resort, Iraq 2, Iraq 1, Kosovo, Grenada, Vietnam, Korea. Could it be that the American govt. is just bad at diplomacy?

What If you and one million of the republicans in your state were purged from the voting role right before the election in order that the democrats would win 2006, would this upset you?

Well, that very thing just happened in Ohio my voting rights group just reports. My question is why do you think this is OK. Almost one million people in Ohio (mostly democrats) were just purged from the voting roles by Blackwell...who is also losing his governor's race by about 12% (well, he was till he got rid of the democrats)

What I have a hard time understanding it why Republicans trumpet their Americanism, patriotism, and moral values and yet when I post this information all they can say is things like boohoo, cry your crocodile tears, too bad, get over it, and bring up some obscure voting fraud from 15 years ago. What about now and what about cheating? Why aren't your ideas sufficient to win..why must you

What is the strangest conspiracy you've heard of. It could be anything - Like a never-dying queen that's actually a member of an alien race of Lizards, whatever, so long as you are not fabricating. (that one's from David Icke, btway)

Let me in on which you believe. I certainly believe Rome is not dead. - You know who you are!!

Oh, and remember... someone's ALWAYS listening... lol
