Politics - 3 July 2006

What happened to the real men, people like Goldwater and Dole and Reagan who, even when you did not agree with them, you still respected. They were honorable men. Real men.

Has the Republican Party sank so low that it can't get it's agenda across without the distortions of truth, the dirty tricks politics, the stereotyping of those who disagree with them?

Has the average Republican become so pu**y-whipped that he or she won't stand up against the extremist in his own party.

Has winning become so ommiportant that having a moral backbone is considered a handicap?

Are there not enough real men left in the Republican Party to re-capture what is used to stand for?

(A quote from a real man, a great Republican:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Teddy Roosevelt )

Do you feel attacked when you ask a question or when you read an answer? I feel like the plan of the "opposite party" is to try to demoralize and break my spirit. Unfortunately, I have been gradually descending into a state of dispair because of it. I'm tired of being accused and judged and I don't know how I can regain my confidence. Why must we treat each other this way? Why can't these certain people realize that we are all in this together and we need to solve the problem together, not divide the country into red vs. blue? I know it sounds cliched and I apologize, but I'm truely heartbroken over this. I love this country and I am genuinely hurt over what the citizens of America are doing to each other. Is there anyone else that feels the same way? How do you survive it?

Unnamed officials said that at least two soldiers from the 502nd Infantry Regiment were being investigated to find out if they had been involved in allegedly raping an Iraqi woman, killing her and three other family members - including a small child, and burning her body.

When it comes down to crime and social programs conservatives should ask themselves, this 1. It is estimated that their are 300 milion people in the US are their 300 million jobs that pay atleast 20 dollars an hour or more, with excellent benefits and yes most cooperations can afford to give this, then people would be making money less crime and less welfare.

Since you want the US to cease being a sovereign nation and be run by the UN (LOL) or for Mexico/US/Canada to become something like the EU (God forbit), surely you are not celebrating American independence. Not with a straight face at least, right?

A short while ago, a number of people who were opposed to Britain (& the US) fighting the taliban in Afghanistan declared Jihad (holy war) on Brit & US. The issue was is that these people ACTUALLY came from Britain! So off they went leaving their homes and family behind in England to train in Pakistan and then engage the Brit/US troops in Afganistan. After these people had felt they had 'done their worse' they would come back to the UK and go about their daily lives until they had their 'call to arms' again! TRUE

My questions are: firstly how as British people can we/did we let these people get away with this high treason of attacking our boys (defenders of the crown) and class themselves as british indeed holding UK pssports? Should we have let them come back to this country knowing what they are/were doing? And as a brit how do you feel knowing that your taxes etc are helping pay for the welfare through benefits etc of these people who are quite clearly showing they arent with us?

There is a lot of good thing that is happening over there too. It seem to a lot of people that I talk to that our news castors are using their power to serve there own political interest . It seems we are being spoon fed information to serve their interest.

To me it seems like ISRAEL is behaving like a Terrorist but at a National Scale! Since ISRAEL is never gonna release them (Women & Children) , I feel the Hamas Militants should not waste time negotiating with ISRAEL - Slaughter Cpl. Gilad Shalit and grow his meat to the poor starving animals (dogs & cats) in Palestine; that would be more fruitful!

how in hell can you believe the propaganda that every Arab/Muslim who takes a stand and fights for his country's freedom from oppression and foreign occupation is a terrorist?
