The United Kingdom, for all its grumpy resentment of the United States, will always align with us in a severe crisis: Our mutual values are far closer than any Britain shares with either France or Germany. Anglo-American sparring can be vicious, but outsiders fail to grasp that its a family feud. And the family closes ranks to outsiders.
Of course we will always need to maintain our close relationship with the United Kingdom. There will be fueds and misunderstandings, but we must avoid overreacting and thus giving ammunition to Briain's hard left. The greatest partnership in human history has been that of The United States and the United Kingdom. No one should ever forget that!

What say you?

is america just a scam? hear me out before you get angry....every year...millions upon millions of immigrants, legal and not, come to this country to seek freedom and prosperity. these are the ideals we hold dear. it seems a small segment of the population is basking in all the things we wouldlike to have, while everyone who is really needed to make the country runs lives very modestly, hidden from the world by a curtain. it would seem we live in a fantasy land where people are drawn in with images of hulk hogans fantastic house and the wives of orange counties luxury, only to find a sort of limbo between freedom and slavery, called the lower middle class. its growing segment. am i wrong, or is the country really starting to resemble pre-revolution europe a littlebit,n with the huge gaps between haves and have nots? and if so.....are we going to see the reemergence of the gulliotine?

And if you do believe this, what would you like to see done about it?

If you don't believe it was an inside job...

1. Explain to me where the bodies of flight 93 are (because this was the first land crash in history where no bodies or peices of a plane were ever found),

2. Explain how the black boxes could not be found in the rubble of the WTC, but the terrorists paper passport was found in the rubble.

3. Explain exactly how building # 7 fell (because it was never hit by debris), and why the owner said it was because they decided to "Pull it".

4. Explain why building # 7, though asked about several times, is never even mentioned in the 911 commision report.

5. Explain why 7 of the terrorists that reportedly flew the planes are alive and well living in their own countries (one of the owns a gas station in Saudi, one is an airline pilot for AE, etc...

don't make statements without proof.

I have all the proof to back up everything here. E-mail me.

We spend time arguing over politics and national health coverage, then eat U.S. food products like beef, chicken, and cheese that is tainted with homones and pesticides that are causing more cancers than ever. Shouldn't we demand that farmers stop using these harmful substances?

I wish I had a nickel for every republican who whined because the democrats haven't come up with a plan for Iraq. Even though the democrats have gone above and beyond their duty and have come up with an alternative plan as announced today, this whining is nonsense. Why are we taxpayers paying the radical republicans salary in the White House and Pentagon if they can't come up with a plan to get our troops out of harms way?

I all hear is "whiiiiine....the democrats haven't come up with a plan yet....whiiiine"

Get with the freakin' program Republicans! If the president and the pentagon are so inadequate that they can't figure out how to amend things in Iraq and they need congress to figure it out for them, they need to get the heck out of office.

What's so difficult about this?

I think that corporate crime really gets a pass. It is largely ignored unless it's too big to be ignored (i.e. Enron) and the punishments are rarely very harsh. How can we tighten up on corporate criminals?

In other words, do you tend to mimic your parents political positions because you find them convincing or have you adopted an entirely different set of political views completely incongruent with theirs.

I don't think it's fair. It's why he increased his powers enormously during wartime. Any excuse to stray away from the Constitution's purpose and become closer to a dictator.

I am not gay. I am also not a gay-basher.

But it seems to me that many "tolerant, nondiscriminatory" liberals as well as many "right-wing, Bible-thumping homophobes" can't resist the urge to gay-bash their political opponents.

So just be honest, with yourself and the board.

Who wants to go on record as saying gays are shameful, and who says that they are not?

Better yet, who here wants to confess denigrating a political opponent by alleging homosexuality, and who has not?

I assume everyone who has is a "gay rights" opponent.

But I could be wrong.

So why do so many on all sides of the political spectrum jump to use homosexuality as an insult?
