Just because I'm against the war, people say I'm not patriotic. I was in the army and was deployed! How much more patriotic do I need to be?

We can say we helped saved the planet, but we'll only bring ourselves down in the meantime.

I'm sure there are unemployed in China.

I mean, is there something inherently unsatisfactory about being a left-winger? And, puhleeeze, do NOT give me the stock story about trying to make the world a better place. That is irrelevant when the fact is that left-wingers are deeply dissatisfied people who spend an inordinate amount of time bitching and moaning instead of DOING SOMETHING. Are they just lazy or is there some other explanation for why their dreams rarely (if ever) come to fruition?

Many "new liberals" advocate a greater degree of government influence in the free market to protect individual rights (in a broad sense), often in the form of anti-discrimination laws, universal education, and progressive taxation. This philosophy frequently extends to a belief that the government should provide for a degree of general welfare, including benefits for the unemployed, housing for the homeless, and medical care for the sick. Such publicly-funded initiatives in the market are REJECTED as interference by modern advocates of "classical liberalism", which emphasizes free private enterprise, individual property rights and freedom of contract; classical liberals hold that economic inequality, as arising naturally from competition in the free market, does not justify the violation of private property rights.

You are NOT the same as our fore fathers. Washington would puke if he were alive today and saw what kind of damage progressives do.

Bush got on TV and said "I take full responsibility" for the failed response by FEMA to Hurricane Katrina...You all saw him...he said it himself.
...1,600 people died, thousands remain homeless.

If you or I took "full responsibiltiy" for 1,600 negligent homicides we'd probably go to jail for years or otherwise pay some kind of penalty.

What was Bush's punishment?

How is it we can allow for a new staff of leaders to run our country (into the ground in some cases) who have clear ties to oil (Cheney was CEO of Halliburton, Bush ties through Zapata companies, all of which are profiting from delaying alternative energies, ending war in Iraq, etc.) or war machine manufacturers (Bush Family - i.e. Bush sr. is board member of United Defense - they made hundreds of millions of Iraq), drug companies (Rumsfeld - convinced Reagan to fire and replace Food and Drug Administrator - launched Apartame aka NutraSweet and had it reclassified from a drug to a food additive - He was the CEO), etc.
It's just not right. It doesn't end there either. Honesty and itegrity seem to go out the window all too often. I believe a candidate for President should be better fitted for the job, someone who doesn't have huge personal gain.

A - Why do we let this happen
B - What if anything can we do about it?
C - Anything similar you can bring to the table

Darfur is a civil war. The liberals reasoning to leave Iraq- is because "it is a civil war". Why should we abandon a civil war (we were instrumental in triggering) and get mixed up in one we have no responsibility for? American soliders will still be targets of attack. It doesn't make sense to me.

Hell he was walking the streets of New York on 9/11 because his command center was placed in the WTC after the truck bombing on the WTC. The experts recommended that the command center be placed in New Jersey in a hardened bunker, which is where it is today, but Rudy made a political decision to put it in the WTC. So Rudy is the hope of the Republicans?

Next time you hear some Liberal whining about how the melting ice caps are gonna flood the planet, as him to try this experiment:


Take a glass, add some ice cubes and fill the glass to the brim with water.


When the ice cube melts, does the water overflow the glass?


NO!


Why not?


Because frozen water displaces the same volume as liquid water.


WOW! Ancient science that any Greek from 2,500 yrs. ago knew.
