Both made some great points. Dr. Gupta did effectively critique Sicko with some technicalities and fine points. But I think Mr. Moore was misunderstood. Most of what he says about America's health care system is totally true. Why do literally dozens of other countries have better health care systems for their citizens then the richest nation on the planet?

Under the Talmud's counterfeit Noahide Laws, the worship of Jesus is forbidden under penalty of death, since such worship of Christ is condemned by Judaism as idolatry. So this is Blasphemy on part of George Bush he is setting us up for something!.
This makes NO SENSE. He tried to get this into law in 1989 and didnt do it until 1991, It makes no sense

With the defections by some republicans, is the party nervous about facing the voters? I mean, none of the benchmarks were hit and Bush and many republicans still want to stay the course?? Besides that, Bush's immigration proposal stalled in the Senate.

Since Israel clearly has the most to lose if/when US troops leave Iraq, so why not send the Israeli army into Baghdad? I'm sure the Iraqis would be thrilled.

This is a statement George DeWitt made in regards to evacuating peolpe of Japanese from the Pacific Coast...
"The Japanese race is an enemy race and while many second and third generation Japanese born on United States soil, possessed of United States citizenship, have become 'Americanized,' the racial strains are undiluted. To conclude otherwise is to expect that children born of white parents on Japanese soil sever all racial affinity and become loyal Japanese subjects ready to fight and, if necessary, to die for Japan in a war against the nation of their parents."

SO, my question is what exactly was DeWitts argument for evacuating them...Also, do you agree with it?

Every 18 year old is required to register for the draft. That means that in 30 days or less we could begin to call up over a million warm bodies. Thirteen weeks after that we could begin to field a massive army that could blanket Iraq from border to border. A war tax could be levied to pay for this and industry could be cranked up to provide needed equipment....think WW2....we did it then, Bush could order it done now.

It seems we could have evicted the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue if we had the opportunity to end a term when it was failing rather than allowing it to continue until the Chief Executive cheats on his wife with an intern.

So if we were to switch to a Parliamentary system, what would be the down sides, and a few more of the up sides?

they don't need government intnervention in their lives at all. Minimum government is the definition of LIBERTY.

Minimum government governing a people WITHOUT morality results in anarchy and chaos, not liberty.

We tried to bring liberty to Iraq, but the people there can't implement it, nor can they sustain it.

When we involved ourselves in Iraq to depose Saddam and bring liberty to a heathen people, we embarked on a fools errand.

The only clear voice of reason in the clogged field of presidential aspirants is Ron Paul who wants to restore constitutional liberties here in the US where we can sustain it, and cut our losses in Iraq before we give away the store.

How many of you see it this way?

Would the people who strap bombs to children eventually take over? And what do you think they would do with the gov't oil revenues?

Why can't you liberals use common sense?

Do you not understand how much wealthy the country of Iraq possesses? Do you not understand the amount of damage a terror group could do with that wealth, if they controlled it?

I, seriously, can not comprehend why liberals refuse to see this.

Or is it just something that Adolf Walker Bush made up just so he could control the entire world and tell every Arab what to do? Who are the REAL terrorists, if such terrorists even exist? Hitler Bush just wants to listen in on the phone conversations of people, and he scares the public into thinking that terrorism exists in the world when it doesn't. Terrorism is just a figment of their imagination. These so-called "al-Qaida" members are freedom fighters, and I think they should have a voice in this country.

The amnesty was defeated and the bitter leftys want their pound of flesh. Here's my favorite nugget:

"It's up to the majority of Americans to hold these stations accountable," said Karl Frisch, spokesman for Media Matters, a liberal, nonpartisan media watchdog group.

Yesiree, a liberal, NONPARTISAN watchdog group. Do these kneepad wearing reporters think everybody is that stupid?
