This was my original question, and 'sagacious' responded. I told him I would discuss each one of his points one by one, not mashing it all together like liberals like to do.

Here is the very short record of the debate, I emailed him my last communication, Friday, and here is the transcript of our communication:

When they hanged Saddam, how many of you out there wished they had been hanging some of our more socialist politicians back home instead?

I must confess, I'd rathter seen half a dozen of our socialist politicians swinging from a rope than Saddam. Saddam never directly threatened my freedom; cannot say that for the leftists in Congress.

Am I alone in this thinking?

I really wanted to know this. I was never into getting really emotional with remembering 9/11. When you look over it 3,000 people died, that is not a whole lot compared to the 150,000 that die daily. I'm not trying to act non-American, but I try to just look over it to get the thought out of my head. The day was tragic, but from my view I don't tend to look over that much on the rememberance of it. We shouldn't forget it, but us Americans should loosen up and move on from the tragic day.

So, how do you remember it, if you do at all?

So many people have asked why Bush just continued to sit in the classroom when informed about the 9/11 attacks. Likewise, so many people seem to wonder if Bush was warned about the attacks prior to their occurence. And if you are among those who have been wondering if Bush was in fact given the warning, here is the OBVIOUS truth: Bush WAS warned about the attacks, and he did nothing to prevent them. THAT is why he continued to sit in the classroom; because he HAD been warned about the attacks, and he felt guilty that he had done NOTHING to prevent them. And although the media tried to cover it up by playing it off as nerves, the fact is Bush himself could not have made it more obvious. For example, did you not notice the shameful, pondering look on Bush's face as he sat in the classroom, a look that clearly said, "why did I not do anything when I recieved the warning? If only I had done something..." Are you telling me that NOBODY else noticed this??

And if you don't like your school system, you can pay to put your kids in a private one. It could be the same for health care, if you wanted more personal care, you could go to a private hospital.

I just think we do an injustice to people by allowing so many to go without health insurance. Our health care system today benefits the rich - those who can afford plastic surgery out of pocket, and hurts those (like me) who can't afford the $200-300 a month out of my paycheck for insurance. If I have a medical emergency, I'll have a lifetime's worth of debt. There should be something better.

Top 10 Reasons the Clinton Administration Wasn't So Hot on Civil Liberties Issues
From Tom Head,
Your Guide to Civil Liberties.
FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!
Civil libertarians concerned about the Bush administration sometimes pine for the Clinton years. What usually gets lost in the shuffle is the fact that the Clinton administration was almost as oppressive--and that was during peacetime.
1. Clintonus Rex
Everyone likes to talk about the Bush administration's executive power grab under the auspices of the unitary executive theory, but not too many people remember President Clinton's own attempt to increase the power of the presidency at the expense of civil liberties safeguards.
2. Big Bubba is Watching
When President Bush admitted to violating the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 with his secret wiretapping program, critics suggested that it was a blatant and unprecedented act of executive gall. Blatant, yes. Unprecedented, no. The Clinton administration violated FISA during its warrantless search of accused spy Aldrich Ames, and (in the pre-Bush years) was described by ACLU legislative director Laura Murphy as "the most wiretap-friendly administration in history."
3. Torture to Go
Civil libertarians are up in arms over the Bush administration's practice of extraordinary rendition, in which the United States outsources its interrogation of international terrorism suspects to countries that practice torture. And we certainly should be--but it was the Clinton administration that pioneered this despicable practice.
4. BATF in the Belfry
No domestic law enforcement group inspired more civil liberties concerns during the 1990s than the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), aka the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), which sometimes dealt with domestic terrorism on a "shoot first, ask questions later" basis. Although the group has since been reformed, it still strikes fear in the hearts of gun rights activists everywhere--and its power, and abuses of power, peaked during the Clinton years.
5. Bowdlerizing the Internet
You think the FCC's anti-indecency crusade is bad? Well, if Janet Jackson had flashed her nipple jewelry online, it could have meant a two-year prison sentence. Such was life under the Communications Decency Act, which promised to make the Internet G-rated at all costs. Democrats blame it all on the Republican Congress, but it was the president who chose to defend the awful anti-indecency provisions all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court (which mercifully struck them down).
6. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Lesbian and gay activists didn't ask much from President Clinton when they voted for him in November 1992. They knew better than to expect marriage rights, or even a civil unions policy. But what President Clinton promised was one thing he could do without asking Congress: Strike down the ban on gays in the military. He changed his mind after the election--choosing to restrict the way gay soldiers are investigated, but leave the ban intact. It remains in place to this day.
7. Uncle Sam's Offering Plate
Church-state separationists are understandably concerned about the White House Office for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which has put billions into the pockets of religious organizations--in open defiance of the First Amendment's establishment clause. But who signed the legislation that created the faith-based initiative program in the first place? President Bill Clinton, as part of the 1996 welfare reform bill.
8. Throwing the Book at Immigrants
President Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants (so-called "illegal aliens"). President George W. Bush said that mass deportation of immigrants is not a humane option. But President Clinton signed a 1996 bill making life more difficult for undocumented immigrants, while at the same time choosing to make it possible for millions more to enter the country and face horrific exploitation at the hands of U.S. corporations.
9. Defending the Sanctity of Marriage, Between Cigars
It's horrible how our conservative president has politicized the issue of same-sex marriage. Know what's even more horrible? He's only following his liberal predecessor's example. When he happily signed the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996, President Clinton shattered the hopes of countless lesbian and gay couples who had been inspired by the possibility of marriage rights in Hawaii--and made gay marriage a viable "culture war" issue to be exploited by politicians for years to come.
10. The Prisoner's Dilemma
The "tough on crime" stance of President Bill Clinton reinstated the federal death penalty, limited appeals (resulting in the execution of an untold number of innocent death row inmates), and made it possible for mentally handicapped 12-year-olds to face life in prison without parole. In this instance, as in so many others, it's hard to imagine how a conservative Republican could have done any worse.
