As you may know, secret service major responsibility is to protect the US president. But just imagine that the president goes nuts in a public appearance for any reasons (like a UFO shoots him with a weapon with a spcial effect on brain!) and he starts to shoot people around. What are secret service guys supposed to do in such a situation? Are they gonna pin him down like a criminal?

With the excessive taxation, over abundance of corporate corruption in politics, and reluctance by any major party to embrace an alternative energy source; Why has their not been at least a cultural revolution in the US in the last 250 years?

If Bush finds a way to extend his term past January of 2009, will you finally accept that he and his administration do not recognize the U.S. constitution as the backbone of the United States of America?

Remember, hypothetical

Why does being conservative largely mean that global warming is quack science? Why does being liberal mean the environment is the number one political issue? Isn't the environment by it's vey nature apolitical?

Is that all they have? You say something bad about this future dictator (wanna be) and they automatically label you as a liberal.

Bush might have even leaked U.S military info to other countries and also it has been proven that he does not care for american lives.

I don't think that he is going to leave. I think that the US is looking at our new dictator. I would lay money on it that "something" will happen and he will not leave. He has 18 months to plan this out....or do you think he already has?

Bush just declared an effective coup, by stating that not only does he believe that he is above the law, but that he can block any attempt to prosecute any member of the executive branch for any alleged violation of law.

In other words, he has asserted that he is able to break the law with complete impunity, and there is nothing the courts or congress can do about it.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/19/AR2007071902625.html?hpid=topnews

If he has sworn an oath to see that the laws are faithfully executed, shouldn't that mean that US Attorneys would be required to prosecute a Contempt of Congress charge? Otherwise, there is no legal accountability.

How is this not effectively a bloodless coup?

Please explain why for us all;

When theres absolutely no progress in IRAQ's governement
While Al Queda is only getting stronger elsewhere(pakistan)
While a new Al Queda group is developing in IRAQ because of our occupation there
When we never truly went after Bin Laden, instead went after Saddam
When there was not a connection between Saddam and al queda until after we arrived and Saddam was already captured, and only grew because of the kaos left with an unprepared plan that everyone conceeds to.

Why, why do you still believe in this war????

can you believe the audacity of this administration.
While they filibuster every attempt democrats make to voice the american opinion, and bush and repubs have absolutely no progress in IRAQ's government to show for it,

Now Bush has cleverly inserted a payraise with more funding for this failed war, and expects to push democrats' hand by signing over yet another blank check.

Is the trick of the day to keep putting pressure and sneaking and hope the american public allows him to continue his idiocy!!!

When less than 30% of americans agree with this, what are we to do?

"Brussels - Men must take on more household chores for their pay differential over women to disappear, the European Union's employment chief said on Wednesday in an appeal to all males in the bloc.

The European Commission said in a report that women in the 27-nation EU earned 15 percent less than men, measured by gross hourly wages, against 17 percent in 1995, showing little progress on indirect sexual discrimination in the job market."

A better solution- bloody run our economies properly and stop wasting money on government spending (especially immigrant welfare and bullshite EU bureaucracy and travel junkets) raising inflation and allow us to survive without the NECESSITY of dual incomes?

Your thoughts? Typical Frankish limp-wristed socialism?

Is history now showing us that Saddam was a Genius? He's appears to be the only guy who could get 3 different muslim cultures (Sunni, Shiite, and Kurd) to live in one country with some semblence of peace? Albeit, he has to kill and rape a few hundred thousand to achieve this..... bring in a strongman tyrant to take over this mess!

Well, many highly intelligent people on YA agree and it highly refreshing to see the British cynic see the wood for the trees.

Here's an interesting article even New Labour supporters may be intersted in:

http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/articles/rrtalk.htm
"the people round Blair are all linked to the United States or the British foreign policy establishment whose chief aim, since Suez, has been to cuddle up to Uncle Sam. This group's orientation is overseas; this is the territory of the Foreign Office and its think tank satellites like the Royal Institute for International Affairs.

"...the source of the tension between socalled Old and New Labour. For who are the Labour Party's traditional constituencies? British domestic manufacturing; and British public sector workers. Old Labour is the domestic economy; New Labour is the overseas British economy- the multinationals, the City of London, & the Foreign Office which represents their interests..."

The Traitor's plot thickens...?

I personally think the labels are thwarting progress in our government. What do you get out of being a Dem or Con? Do you ever take the other side seriously? Have you ever heard a plan from the opposing party and said, "Not a bad idea.." or do you write them off because they aren't a member of your party?

Thanks.

Would that make them happy?

They could take our entire paycheck. Pay for our housing (which since it is now government housing would include all utilities), our food, our medical, dental, our retirement, EVERYTHING, then give us all an equal amount to live on for any "extras" that we might want??

Would that make the liberals happy?

This story was in the Washington Times March of 2007, the article quotes a conservative Republican.

"There are cycles in history where one party or one movement ascends for a while and then it sows the seeds of its own self-destruction," said Bruce Bartlett, a conservative Republican analyst and author of "Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy."

"It's clear we have come to an end of a moral Republican conservative era," he said
