If you and your fellow Bushies support the troops, why are they coming home and killing themselves because they aren't getting the SUPPORT they need for their Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Why aren't they getting the medical care they need? Read Newsweek lately? Have you read ANYTHING lately, aside from books by Bill O'Lielly and Sean Vannity? You, who SAY you support the troops probably don't even know about soldiers committing suicide because they aren't getting help or about the recent Walter Reed scandal. Your greed and elections of frat boy drunken greedy jerks will be the downfall of this once great nation. Your magnetic "Support the Troops" bumper sticker hasn't and will not do any good when you vote for the trash that is currently running this country into the ground

They're doing a story about an Afghan woman who is running for Parlament in a Taliban controlled region of Afghanistan! Afghanistan is not Iraq! You have to watch this program. This is the bravest woman that I've ever seen in my life!

Now, granted, the military isn't for everyone nor do they accept everyone that attempts to enlist. Can't a person support the troops even if they aren't fighting in Iraq? To me, this is one of the most disturbing statements I constantly hear from liberals. Either you fight in Iraq, or you burn the American flag and spit on soldiers. You have two choices according to them. Where did this type of hatred for our military come from?

You want our kids to be hungery every nighte? They are cold and unhappy.

Israel has 100-400 nuclear weapons completely unregulated by the IAEA. What a crass double standard to criticize Iran when this violent, aggressive Jewish state threatens all of its neighbors with nuclear blackmail.

I used to be in the Navy and I used to think it was a good thing to serve my country, but I have my doupts now. Polititians do not care
about the people they are suposed to be severing. The people are getting taxed to death for what reason? To fight for an economic boost or to get oil which we aren't getting or will never get because of politics. We should all be buying eletric cars instead of supporting big oil. We support the terrorists that we are suposed to be fighting in fact most of the wepons being used to fight against us were bought with U.S. Moeny. So tell me why my son and son-in-law are fighting? They are fighting to keep there families fed, but does it justify why they have to endager theselves for a political charade?

Millions, possibly even 100's of million go to bed at night without dinner in the United States. They are cold and unhappy. Yet you conservatives do not care about them. You do not think of them. We need our food but you take our money and food stamps away. We can't afford to work because our kids are important us. We need to stay home to be with them. But why don't you care?

Now that we control Congress, how do we get our representatives to do what the people want? We need free healthcare for everyone. Free housing, shelter, and food should also be explored.No one should be allowed to make more than $80,000 a year as that is more than sufficient to live on. The gross profits that companies make should be put into funds that help out the poor. Why don't you people care about the poor?

I'm not saying to end all capitalism, just the gross injustice that is taking place under capitalism.

I just find it hard to believe that the top contending republican hopeful happens to be a big social liberal.
If he wins the nomination, does that mean republicans have decided they don't need a man with socially conservative values to represent them as president anymore?
Or are there no better choices?

Most powerful nations are trying to liberalize worldwide trade in goods and services, since the theory goes that free markets create more wealth than unfree markets.

But isn't this inconsistent and hypocritical, since they are doing nothing to liberalize the labour market? How can you morally justify free movement of goods if you don't allow free movement of people?

Shouldn't we try to make a decision one way or the other, ie. goods+labour restricted, OR goods+labour free?

Human systems must inevitably be flawed, yet democracy has been painted lily-white by the media, politicians and think-tanks. This essay is an eye-opener: http://southerncrossreview.org/50/sayeed.htm

THE DARK SIDE OF DEMOCRACY ‎ is not the author's views or rants: he/she quotes experts, goes back to Greek democracy, Plato and Thucydides, and comes back to modern times. For instance, I did not know that the European Union had been formed to prevent furture wars in Europe - among western democracies (Prussia and Germany were both democracies when they attacked other democracies). Please read, and let me know what you think : and read with an open mind.

For approximately 3 or 4 weeks now, our mailman misses one or two days a weeks where he does not even bother to deliver our mail........the reason I know this...is that we live in an apartment building, and he doesn't deliver anyones... also, when you put your mail out for him to take, he doesn't come around to take it.... should he not be delivering your mail "every" day?

John Kerry inadvertantly offended the troops as well, and conservatives were essentially screaming for his death until he apologized.
So, to answer my own question-it's only fair.

For those cons who did not realize, this may come as a shock.
Our president's approval rating is in the 30's-usually in the low 30's, depending on which polls you look at. (Even the right-wing Fox News puts it in the very low 40's).
True conservatives, believe it or not, don't generally support President Bush. This is because they are sick of his deviation from their beloved traditional conservative base. I actually love traditonal conservatives, but not the new breed of neo-cons who have embraced our president's enormous power increase during wartime, big-business subsidies, outrageous fiscal irresponsibility, and security-threatening apathy towards our failing border control.

I've worked with some black people in my office for a long time. And hey've always complaned to me about my religion and my people. They usually say that Jewish people own America, diamonds, Holywood, Manhattan. They are lawyers, doctors, dentists and they are not interested in black people becoming rich and smart, because Jewish people need a cheap labor.
I live in Brooklyn(NY), and I sometimes hear when Black people tell to get out of here. Some of our our children are beatten up at the schools by blacks just because we are Jewish and follow our culture and religion.
Isn't this just a prejudice and discrimination?
