Other - Politics & Government - October 2006

I am all for loyalty to a politician/ administration, but sometimes the last thing a nation needs is for its leader to be surrounded by yes men. Richard Nixon wasn't entirely surrounded by yes men, but there were a select few that remained loyal to him even though they knew better. I could think of a modern example, but I am not even going to go there! I'll leave that up to you guys to bring up a modern example if you choose to do so.

I will proudly admit that I think Bush has destroyed this country. Not to mention the man is a moron and a weasel. He has made so many mistakes with horrible consequences. That being said, I love this country. The fact that I can say that the president is a moron and not be crusified for it, is one of the greatest things about this country. It's called Freedom. Democrats and Liberal don't hate america, I for one don't even hate Republican. Who I do hate are extreme right wing Conservatives who tell me that I am evil and godless and hate America because of my political views. George W Bush is not "America" he is the president of America. Why is it so hard for people to realize that diffrence?

I previously held my permit for 18 months, then it expired I know have it back again, then they said if I found my orginal driving log I could send out for my license as soon as I wanted to. I have looked and can not find it. Would it be okay if I just remembered the times I had driven and sent the new one in? I had all my hours I just didn't send it in on time. If anyone works at the DMV please let me know if this would be okay.

You are not defending your own personal rights because your rights are not being violated, not by the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, or any other bill or Act.. the only rights you are defending are the terrorists.. and yes that might mean some Americans because Americans can be terrorists too, it's called Domestic Terrorism.... after 9-11 I woke up to the reality of terrorism... and I might dislike Bush and his administration, but I stand behind the Acts and bills being passed for my protection, and having a hard time understanding why people are defending the rights of terrorists, so please tell me why

As good Dem’s you are misinformed as usual

The number one benefit of out sourcing is the US

When Canada, France, and other Europeans socialized medicine many of those companies move to the US. Even a lot of the tech jobs, and other sophisticate tech jobs.

Many of those businesses moved to the USA. Ever heard of BMW America, Toyota USA, Sony USA, and so on.

Their not going to kick out the illegals or imprision the employers. Their not going to halt immigration! Their not going to legitimize politics "let a common unconnected individual win" Their not going to allow true voter verification from "when you cast your ballot too the reported numeric results" with a non-secret public check & balence system.

What would be so bad about just giving it up since problems will never cease?
Is it better to just keep killing and injuring, and getting killed or injured?
To never feel truly safe?

Would it be better to have the Jews return to Europe or America and perhaps deport the Muslims in Europe to Isreal?

We've been a nation for how long, about 230 years right? Yet during the course of that timespan, it seems as though while in technology we excel, we mentally regress!
For example, I've always thought: If Natalie Holoway was Nadia Holloway, or would the CrackerBarrel incident have been different if it had been Carson Daly's mother.
It also seems like the same people that were hesitant to make Dr King's birthday a national holiday had no problem celebrating Columbus Day. We can totally ignore a civil and equal rights activist, but in the same breath, can celebrate a man who thought he landed in Southern Asia?!
I also wonder, why do people always talk about Al Sharpton and the like, but don't post questions regularly about people like David Duke or Trent Lott.


We have an advanced country: advanced in technology, advanced in literacy; almost everything you use has roots in America. So how can such an intelligent nation, the land of the free, be so politically illiterate.

Reading some of the answers makes me wonder where you righties get your information.
gimpalong said:
- there are 7th generation welfare recipients - Welfare hasn't even been around that long.
- A union car guy makes 60-80/hr + bene's. $60/hr would put that guy above 10% of income earners- not possible $20-30/hr w/overtime is closer.

How many of you righties can honestly tell me me that you or your family haven't benefited from "liberal" types of policies and cornerstones - e.g. Unemployment, Soc. Security, Union representation, Regulations governing water, lending, safety, etc.

Fact is, few if any. And no, I haven't EVER been on welfare, collected unemployment or worked in a union job.
