Iran is an independant sovereign country. What gives USA the right to demand that Iran must cease nuclear activity, that it cannot develop nuclear power and that it has no right if it so wishes to use the byproduct for military development as the USA already does.

When Dick Gheney was specifically asked if the USA had plans to attack Iran his best answer was that he could not rule out anything.

By what right can the USA attack, or even threaten to attack, another country for developing technology which many other countries already have and when the USA is even spending billions of dollars to upgrade their own nuclear arsenal.

I don't see how anyone can reasonably argue with the response of the president of Iran when he said that he was willing to agree to discontinue nuclear activity before comming to the negotiating table providing that the same rule applied to every country at the table, including the USA.

Do people really believe the planet is going anywhere? Shouldn't it be, "Save the People"?

The nay sayers were everywhere. Where are they now? I haven't found one person who will admit to it. Are there any honest people out there who can admit that they fell for it, even slightly?

I've seen several people post one study that states that conservatives give more... but...

it doesn't really make any sense? the majority of conservatives I see on here, not only DON'T want to give to chairty, but basically seem to not care if poor people died?

yet, conservatives are the ones that give more to charity?

all I hear them say is "if they want it, work for it"... which I understand what they are saying, but I wouldn't think that person was exactly generous either?

and I know several conservatives and the majority of them seem to feel this way, not all... but most... maybe I just need to get out more?

I'm confused?

First, who has the more reputable guests and reporters.
It seems everyone from FOX geraldo, Ollie North, Mark Furman, allthere guest seem second hand compared to the writers at newsweek and true valid writers, media personnel and correpondants that are used at MSNBC.

Even those that are called in to debate issues for both sides -- usally you have one strong republican vs a weak democrat on O'Reilly and on FOX. Yet they calim to be balanced.

#1 -- who has the more intelligent knowledgeable guest commentators?
HANDS DOWN -- MSNBC...hands down OLBERMAN

#2 Who tackles the real issues, exposes the real concerns that effect the public?

Where fox does everythign to show president in a good light, they conveniently fail to report the true issues.
Where as MSNBC reports the inflating of the terrorism numebrs by FBI, the walter reed scandal, the flip flopped words of every politicians, and the promises that have been made and not kept by this administration.

After a cooling period began in 1945, and continued for two decades Global Cooling was a grave concern for the Liberal set.

In 1966 Cesare Emiliani predicted that "a new glaciation will begin within a few thousand years."

By 1972 a large majority of a group of leading glacial-epoch experts at a conference agreed that "the natural end of our warm epoch is undoubtedly near"

An April 28, 1975 Newsweek article titled "The Cooling World," decried "the evidence in support of these predictions [of global cooling] has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it." The Newsweek article incouraged "simple measures of stockpiling food". The article ended by claiming that "The longer the planners (politicians) delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality."

I think I'm having deja vu...So am I going to freeze or fry?

liberal mediums on radio and tv need subsidies: PBS, NPR, Air America (which went bankrupt)?

How come liberals do not understand that they are in fact out of touch with the average American?

As for conservatives,

Rush Limbaugh #1
Hannity #2
Beck #3
Savage
Boortz (claims he is a libertarian, but has many conservative positions)
and the list goes on and on

It sure seems that the conservatives are the ones that people choose when they have a choice. It also seems that liberals cannot survive in the free market. Is this why they want the Fairness Doctrine?

Stop insulting US Intelligence by saying they are too incompetent to prevent a terrorist ambush within our country!!! Stop insulting US Intelligence, because that is what you are doing whether you realize it or not. I thought you people supported the Bush administration and believed he is competent enough to keep us safe...what happened? Would you people mind stopping being so hypocritical?

They allowed India to arm itself, Israel is now denieing sending spies from Eqypt into Turkey and got caught, is this part of the plot for the bush regime? Israel is loaded to the teeth with Nukes, I do not trust them any more or less than anyone else in this world. Bush and Cheaney need to take responsibility for their own blunders and fess up to the world.

The mission of the united states armed services is to protect America from threats...foreign and domestic. When Saigon fell to the North, American lives weren't any less free. When Iraq falls, America isn't going to magically be less free.
America was less free because the government kept tabs on student "subversives" (thanks to the FBI) in the 70's and then seized unprecedent executive power...ESPECIALLY in this administration. Iraq never took away my freedoms at home. George Bush's secret prisons, suspension of habeus corpus, data mining (asking Google, libraries, phone companies, etc to turn over information on patrons) and warrantless wiretapping with no oversight threatens my freedoms though.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic (for which it stands), one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

In the Bible, we are told not to make ourselves idols to worship. I am beginning to think that the American flag is an idol. Why should I pledge my allegiance to a flag (or even a country)? God is my life, and we are all Children of God.

I think it is silly that we should divide ourselves up into nations, and as Children of God, wage wars on other Children of God just because they pledge their allegiance to a different flag.

What would happen if I refused to stand up and recite the pledge? Could I justifiably get into trouble with the school if it is against my religion?

Hypothetically speaking, if I held a flag burning, could I get into legal trouble.

If I could, what kind of free nation is this?
