Honest answers, please. You can say whether you think the changes were positive or negative, but you have to say why or why not you think the changes were or were not surprising.

After WW2 and a damn near WW3 the world has got the idea that death no matter how noble is always tragic. That the world is now really tired of wars and interfering with others and now its time to focus on our own agendas and build our own nations. For does not every nation have enough of its own problems with crime, disease, disasters etc...? Shouldnt the US military secure its southern border and spend time crushing drug barrons (who kill way more than a few terrorist bombs on US soil every week than the Taliban have ever done)? Dont you agree the world has gone past the stage of chasing dominion and interfering. The world now wants to secure its own prosperity and grace by looking in the mirror and facing the facts, "we have to agree to disagree", and while your side is far from perfect mine is not perfect either (try to hear an American say that about the US!). Dont you think so? Technologically and economically way ahead but socially and philosophically way behind!

Why does it house the highest prison population in the world? Given India has 900 mil people and China has 1.6 BILLION shouldn't one of these house the biggest inmate population not the US? Does this not show you that America's portrayal of a perfect, silver spooned lifestyle better than everywhere else is simply not true? I mean after all, most crimes are money orientated and therefore where money is aplenty crime should be low correct? Obviously other nations have something more than just currency to satisfy its citizens and people are not just piggy banks that need filling with as much coinage as possible. Dont you think?

The US helped us British stop Hitler, save and restore Europe, protect all from the USSR. We re-established Japan into a glorious nation. Together developed multiple technologies and develop human rights to stop evil men. Now we find the nation wishing to cripple others, wishing to hinder the development of wealth and rights in other states, wishing to rule the world with an Iron Fist is now the USA itself. From the Iron Curtain the world now must resist the Stars n Stripes Curtain. Don't you agree the USA has now become the very evil dominion that it swore to destroy?

Right on the cover it portrays those who don't think global warming as man made to be controlled by the oil companies.
I do not believe in it because I am a history buff and know that the earth has always had warming and cooling periods with or without humans being present.
I really don't appreciate being told my beliefs are the product of oil companies schemes when they have nothing to do with my ideas or opinions.
I also really don't appreciate the very political agenda of the global warming adherents.
Does that make me a dinosaur?
No. It makes me a person who thinks for herself.

I am not saying american kids are stupid, but american students scored poorly in international tests, ranked 26th. (1st- finland, 2nd, korea, 3rd, hong kong). That is got to be something wrong with americans, or with their culture.

If he runs, the lefties will swoon, fawn, and heap praise during the primaries. Then they will quietly vote for someone else. Afterwards, they will cluck and moan about how other people’s racism caused his defeat. Just wait until Hillary and her minions pull out the long knives and start stabbing. BO wont know what hit him.

"The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America." -Barack Obama

This is why a conservative can support Barack Obama.
I don't even care if this is just empty rhetoric, it is rhetoric than needs to be said, no, shouted from the rooftops. Nothing would be more healing to this divided nation than an end to partisan hacks, many of whom post on this forum with all the eloquency of an insane street person.

Would you support Obama?

-Came to power under 'unusual' circumstances

-LBJ Creates Medicare / Medicaid ; Bush expands programs with largest new entitlement, the hundred billion a year prescription drug benefit

-LBJ breaks tradition to federally fund education ; Bush expands federal funding for education faster than anyone since LBJ through "No Child Left Behind"

-LBJ opens immigration via Ted Kennedy sponsored legislation ; Bush attempts to open immigration via, you guessed it, Ted Kennedy legislation

Democrats, would Bush belong in your party if he renamed his domestic agenda: "Great Society?"

Republicans, would you support LBJ if he was tough on terror?

There seems to be a widespread personal dislike of Ms. Clinton as opposed to just criticism of her policies or a dislike of the political party for which she's running. Is this true, and if so, why do you think that is?

No insults, please, no repetition of talking points from FOX, no statements of "because she's a liberal" or "because she's a Democrat." No claims of "because she's a lesbian" unless you honestly believe she's a lesbian and that there's something wrong with that.

So why can't the left and right wing work TOGETHER to get everyone insurance? I mean come on, these people graduated from big colleges with big degrees. Aren't they smart enough to actually fix problems instead of playing politics? Is it fair that lots of workers pay taxes and health care tax, yet don't get coverage or non-sufficient coverage? That's wrong, and everyone can agree with that. Dems are right, we all need health insurance. The GOP is right. We don't need higher taxes to get it. Why not give everyone low, affordable, choices as to which health plan that suits the individual? Why not give soldiers universal healthcare, because believe it or not, many veterans don't have it. Or give them low affordable choices? The Congress can do it, but they don't want anyone saying that they actually agree on anything. They need good sense. Why do men pay for uterus or exams women usually go for when they don't need it? Why not pay for just what you "NEED?" Can't they work together?

Why cant we agree to disagree on issues and treat each other respectfully? Why is there name calling and put downs and generalizations made? I believe in less government, less taxes and to conserve traditional values. Liberals believe differently but thats their right and we should respect each others right to disagree. Why do both sides name call and get so nasty? Its not very tolerant.
