while conservatives only accuse liberals of being gravely misinformed. I think half of the country being ignorant to fact is a bit more reasonable than the other half being evil.

A few nights ago I asked a series of questions about socialism, it was obvious that not a single one who answered negatively bothered to look at my previous questions or answers to know where I stand. Answers 87 Agreed with 45 Disagreed with 42, several of these answered all or most questions Of those who responded negatively Bashed me, the freedom of speech, or the question 30 Argued for socialism 12 Stated they were socialist 2 Stated they were democrat 2 Had an intelligent answer 3 Defended democrats/liberals and were against socialist takeover of the party 1 Overwhelmingly 75% did not want me stating the obvious and would restrict my right to freedom of speech, a very socialistic way of doing things. 12 argued for socialism but did not identify their affiliation, democrat or whatever. These were one off answers so it appears that about 50% think socialism is a fine way to run AMerica. only 2 admitted being socialist, which shows the small number of honest people who answered.

If global warming has the potential to end life as we know it, does it make sense to ignore it on the basis that Mother Nature " will take care of everything? In drought areas, we create irrigation; to combat extreme cold we invented heating; to protect against floods we build levees; when it rains we take an umbrella. Isn't there at least some common sense in the investigation of global warming

Why are we building the worlds largest & most expensive embassy there? Shouldn't the American people have been
aware before now that we've spent $592 MILLION on Bush's
embassy in Iraq? I thought we were just there to liberate the Iraqi's and then eventually leave?

This question is for Republicans and Democrats alike. I'm curious because I'm always hearing Republicans pride themselves on how they are the only ones who love this country. Last time I checked the baboon named George W. Bush(I don't mean to diss on actual baboons.)is on his second term in office and he's destroying America left and right! He's gotten a thousand plus soldiers killed in his war for oil(that's right his war has NOTHING to with the September 11th attacks because the ones that started those attacks aren't even in Iraq!)not to mention that due to soaring oil prices businesses are forced to cut back to labor hours and one person is forced to do the job of two or three! 2008 can NOT come soon enough!

Oh, and PS: I support America by NOT supporting the President. I support the troops by NOT supporting the war!

This is by no means to be offensive or to start a war with this question. It can pretty much be said that if the US pulls out its support of Israel then Israel will then cease to exist and be taken over by the Arab Middle-Easterners.

I wanted to know the reason why the US backs the Israeli government? What do we gain from supporting them?

For the BUMS to do the so called dirty jobs that the illigals do.
What a joke
And while a pile of bullshit that the pro- illigal racketeers are trying to bamboozle the American people with. All I ever hear is " they come here to work" well what about the unemployed Americans that want to work or worse yet the BUMS that beg for pennies by shaking a Burger King cup in your face.
I say throw the people that are littering the streets into work-camps and make them earn their keep.
