The drastic moves that racists called for have been "effectively sidelined" according to the New York Times. It is a victory for all who Marched on May 1st to protest Bush's larger and more damaging proposals and it put racists like Sensenbrenner in thier place.

When Bill Clinton was president anyone who criticized him was told by the left that they should respect the office of the President whether they agreed with him or not but now that George W Bush is president they feel free to call him all sorts of horrible names. Where is the respect for the office??????????

I'm of the opinion if the UN were moved to where the conflicts were you'd really see who was interested in doing something.

As it is it's in New York City. Mecca for capitalists. Free parking for diplomats, great resteraunts, Broadway shows, and everything else. Who wouldn't want to have to put up with some trivial debates that have no effect for all that?

The blues, Davis, Dylan, Robert Johnson, DeNiro, Pacino, Hoffman. There's substance, but isn't there is a lot of narcissism too.

Politically, US foreign policy strikes many around the world as adolescent and American's unquestioning belief in American values as a. naive and b. the result of a lack of any deep understanding of other cultures.
from where other cultures stand American patriotism is often overkill (no pun). So much about freedom and democracy and flag waving and bald headed eagles and stars and stripes. What other countries shout so loudly (except in the world cup) and what would you think of them if they did. What other regimes have paid such attention to flags and national symbols (no fascism rants please, though qualified contrasts and comparisons ok).
Objectively, is this totemic and tribal?
As for everybody wanting to come to /be like America - , immigration in to australia or western europe is largely financial, isn't this the case with much migration

Anti-gay movement = limiting gay marriages, and general hatred toward homosexuals.

Segregation = the movement to separate whites from African-Americans

Anti-women's rights = the movement to keep women from being able to vote, equal opportunity in the work-place, etc.

Pro-Slavery = the movement that was a key element/impetuous to the Civil War.

I just don't understand how we Americans can be so hateful of a group of people. In the past, we have altered our constitution on the matters of Slavery, Women's Rights, and Segregation. Proving that we can move to eliminate hatred, and to protect the rights of human beings, our citizens.

I feel the anit-gay movement is virtually identical to these since forgotten, and carefully legislated-way aberrations of our history.

Someone tell me - how is it different - fundamentally?

I'm straight, and stand up for the rights of Americans - including homosexuals, women, and African-Americans.

So I was seeing this guy right. He was ok at first but then turned Neocon on me. So as his new Neocon ideals grew stronger and harder, his performance in the bedroom area, umm.. how can I put this...went sorta limp. SO I dumped him for a hot Liberal dude. Now this poor Neocon calls everyday saying he'd kill himself if I don't go back with him. At first I tried to be nice saying it's not him it was me and stuff. But his persistence is getting to be freakin annoying. What should I Do? I wonder.

Literally, by supporting abortion ?

Consider this: Millions of babies never born because they were aborted. These babies would have grown up and been more likely to vote Democratic because:

- Younger people tend to be more liberal.
- Minority women are more likely to get an abortion.
- Children vote like their parents. Probably, most of those women who had abortions are more likely Democratic voters than Republicans.

Human stupidity knows no bounds. One would expect such rubbish from a *****'s mouth. A white guy no less posted this ignorant statement. Africans were the first to own African slaves. Africans caputered other Africans from other tribes and sold them into slavery to white slave dealers. Would someone do me a favor and push this guy out of a jet?

The Pro-Life movement is VERY diverse. There are even predominately gay/atheist/black groups who are morally disgusted by lib sanctioned infanticide.
Only a small fraction of Americans are in favor for killing babies...it is usually white, single, female 50-60 year old bitter baby boomers who could never find a husband because they are fem-nazis and vile Jewish doctors who just want to kill white, baby Christians. In fact, 88% of all abortionists are Jews...no surprise!

Sorry, I just needed to vent on this one. Add your comments as you see fit.

His reaction was, “Well I will get congress to enact a law allowing the tribunals.”

Yo, idiot. The supreme court ruled on a constitutional issue. Now get this through your pointy little beady eyed head, congress passing a law will not change that constitutional issue. Unless you want them to tack it on to that Constitutional Amendment banning guy marriages.

Um, there is a course back in High School you must have slept through. It was called “Civics”

You want them to see their day in court? I do too. Make it a normal court where these things should be tried, not some bogus tribunal for conspiracy charges. Believe it or not, the existing court system can handle it. Quit screwing with the Constitution to reflect your warped view of reality.

Oh, and about congress passing that law? Don’t hold your freaking breath. You are out of political coin, you already spent it all. Let me introduce you to the serpent, you ought to get to know him.

Not being facetious, it's just something I'm curious what people will answer. I would assume this has to do with business connections, but aren't there similar connections with democrat parties as well? (as well as big names in Hollywood). So where does this come from, and is it a fair estimation of the republican party universally?

References/resources would be appreciated.
