Reasons.....

It seems like the term "liberal" is just a blanket term used to smear anyone who doesn't agree with you, just like "anti semite."

For instance you are called a liberal if you oppose the war, but more than half the population opposes the war for one reason or another.

Another instance is you are called an anti-Semite if you oppose Israel's human rights abuses against the Palestenian people, but many people around the world oppose Israel's blatant human rights violations.

Why is this?

or did they see themselves as the victims? For example, did nazi germany see themselves as the evil conquering invader or did they see themselves as defending their country from a world full of hostiles who had it coming to them for daring making them feel threatened and vulnerable?

Bush and the Republican Presidential candidates always promise 'tax cuts'.
But please look at this:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071113/ap_on_go_co/war_costs

And let's ask them who the hell is going to pay for this?
And how?

Democrats, on the other hand, realise that 'somebody' has to pay the piper. Hence 'tax increases' in the future.
It's called 'living in the real world'
And this bullsh*t story that 'the economy will grow us out of the deficit' also seems to be 'pie-in-the-sky', doesn't it?
Opinions?

1) We got rid of Saddam

2) Ensured free and fair elections for the new Iraqi govt.

3) Helped train new Iraqi police and military forces

Why not pack up 90% of our forces, bring our soldiers/marines home to ticker tape parades, shower them with our support, and declare victory? After all, with Bush's WMD theory blown to hell, the only other reason was to get rid of Saddam and establish a democracy...mission accomplished.

US taxpayers are hook for over $1.6 trillion in costs to date for this war. Its time to pack up and leave the Iraqis to sort things out. They have a Shi'ite majority in govt. and military, which will ensure that the Sunni-led Al-Qaida never is able to establish a foot hold in the country.

The Law of the Sea Treaty is a dangerous threat to our nation’s sovereignty, places the U.S. under an international authority, subjects our nation to direct taxation by the United Nations, and may hamper our military.

aside from the fact that capitalism is a flawed economic system due to the "doughnut" effect. Keep pushing for more , more, more and the outer edge gets bigger but the innard gets thinner and eventually all is left is a thin, fragile wall. You can only have so many GM cars or houses, etc.

But what kind of republican thinks capitalism is a uniting economic system? it is 100% opposite of what United stands for.

If capitalism is all about the bigger fish eat the little fish, well sure sounds anit- American to me.

What happened to United We Stand? What happened to America by and for the people? What happened to the founding fathers dreams of Socialism?

Wow the president really was a divider!

They have all mostly all voted for the Iraq war
They have all continued to fund the war and refuse to bring the troops home
They have all voted to strip us of our constitutional rights with laws like the Patriot Act, and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act
They have pretty much allowed the president to spy on citizens
They have mostly agreed that we should torture
They have pretty much all agreed that we should not impeach or even censure the (p)resident and vice (p)resident
They all pretty much agree that black box voting is perfectly acceptable
They have all pretty much agreed that campaign finance fraud and cronyism is perfectly acceptable
They have all pretty much agreed that all of our jobs should go to China and that China can export poisonous goods Americans

I've been researching on this topic and I've been trying to find out some "resolutions" made. But all I could find was that some of the provisions expired or were voted to expire.

Do Cell Phone Towers and the communication waves they produce really screw up bee's navigation systems? If so will this cause a global catastrophy if the bee's become exstinct because of their confusion and inability to hunt for food and bring it back to the hive? Are other animals such as birds or butterflies affected by Cell Phone Towers? If in fact Cell phone towers are causing the global extinction of bee's, a valuable part of our planet, should we limit or outlaw cell phone towers in protected areas around the world or simply band cell phones and the distructive towers like the use and production of nuclear arsonals

Why not just increase the price of fuel slightly faster, then no one can afford to travel to work; therefore will not be able to afford booze.

That will also satisfy the Green pressure groups and take cars off the road. (Therefore no more drink driving).

Gordon Brown will be happy with piles of fuel tax.

The infamous Jim Jones began as a religous man, then turned from God citing the inequality and suffering in the world proved there was no God. He began "preaching" and opening up his church to anyone, no matter social stature or race (sounds good right?) , left-wing groups welcmoed him because of his views against capitalism. When he "created" Jonestown, it was to be a socialist utopia, where everyone was equal and all worked for the common good. At first his followers were allowed to voluntarily give to him, but then it became mandatory that each give 25% of their income, of course after they moved to Jonestown, noone had anything of their own.

Does this sound familiar? Will be eventually become another jonestown if we let the left-wing nuts break us down and make us feel we can tmake it on our own?

Although I in no way want a flood of illegals in this country, I do understand the HUGE problem of sending those back to Mexico who have children here in the states, who ARE legal.
What if...
Those illegals are trained in our factories, become part of the union ( at a lower tier of pay for 5 years) , they pay taxes, must take and PASS english lessons and out of every paycheck a small amount goes to the govt to pay their fine for being here illegally.????

What do you think? Would the lower pay scale help bring our factories back to life and get a safe reliable unpoisoned product ?

I am looking for both honest pro and con thoughts...
ACLU types need not respond.
