Now, don´t get me wrong, I´m all for helping others, but I just don´t understand why the US is so quick in helping other nations (financially and via military power) when we have problems at home. In my opinion, if we can "find" $770 million to aid Lebanon, why can´t we at least utilize a fraction of that to rebuild New Orleans and other areas that have been totally devastated by previous and recent natural disasters within our own country first. Some of that $770 million could go towards building facilities to help the less fortunate within our country. We could donate a couple hundred million to Lebanon, but how about we use the rest at home. Just a thought. What do you think??

and there are more people living in America (both coming of age and moving in)... making money... and paying more taxes? it just seems natural that tax revenues (and many other economic figures) would set records every couple of years.. if the economy was relatively stable...

poulation grows... more people to tax... more money made? at the very least it would be a contributing factor...

if he has appologized to the Lacross players yet, or if he plans to, for me please?

I won't be there, because I don't want to aid the enemy, and cause more of our troops to be killed. But if there is a neolib in here that doesn't care about that, could you pass that question on to Jesse for me?

I think it is a bad idea, he is not Saddam Hussein, nor is he a Chavez, and God forbid we end up with a weak president and that majority in Congress gets their way upon us as well. We have to stop and think? The enemies will attack us for sure if we do that?
Do you think our enemies will just sit back and shake hands with us? By impeaching him we will destroy what is left of this country and that is a huge mistake. Just see it through and watch Congress and I am sure you don't think all of those politicians are honest either do you?

i mean we spends more on international issues that do not affect us. and at the sametime, have many issues that require money like purchasing books for our schools, giving citizens of US more benifits and lower taxes, provide healthcare, and many more things. we literally give BILLIONS of dollars to other nations while we ourselves have no money. Why do we do that?

How do you impeach a president? Can an individual start a petition or something? Or does Congress hold the sole power to impeach. If so, how can a person convince congress members to impeach?

My cousin overdosed on pot. He was just a kid. 19 years old, and a senior in high school. Everyone love him. He was a football player, and an active member in our church.

Well 1 day, during his senior year, he went to a party. Some liberal parents had gone out of town, and left their child unattended (why am I not surprised by the irresponsible parents) so of course, he threw a party. Well when my cousin arrived the kids were drinking, smoking, and behaving poorly.

Since most of these kids were passing around a marijuana cigarette, my cousin felt out of place. At first, he refused to smoke. But the kids kept putting peer pressure on him by saying things like, "one puff won't hurt you" and "all the cool kids are doing it." Finally, my cousin succumbed to the pressure, and he took a puff.

Immediately he went into convulsions. Then he stopped breathing. Finally, his heart just gave out. By the time the paramedics arrived it was too late. He was Dead!

Kids, just say No!!!!!

Firstly let me clarify.I am not an American and I do not live in America.
I am curious to know the answer.
Is it because he is a Republican and you would support any Republican President or do you genuinely believe he is doing a good job?

The government wont react until violence and militia activity occurs. Is this the only way?

terror to the enemy where HE lives, repeat, where HE, the enemy lives. The fight is half way around the world on foreign soil. Does the "new direction" the Democrats promise entail a cut and run policy to bring the troops home? Do they want the troops home so that they can fight the enemy when they attacks us again on our own soil?
