Times change...that's a fact. I don't think anyone can dispute that. I have been seeing a common argument in Republican vs. Democrat racism issues. "The Democrats started the KKK." First of all, even if that is true (I don't know the whole history of the Klan and don't care) that doesn't mean that hating minorities is a main platform that the Democrats still stand upon. Is it really difficult to understand that the Dems don't agree with the KKK either? The only reason they are not trying to outlaw the Klan is because as despicable as their view is, it is their constitutional right...unfortunately. Right to assemble and right to free speech. I know a lot of you righties hate that free speech thing, but you can't change it. But you take that as, "Democrats love the KKK." Simply not true. Now tell me, is that really hard to understand?
And please...no KKK history lessons. That's not what I'm asking for. Thank you.

If you think he is corrupt, do you think his offenses are worse than those of Bill Clinton?

You know, when I talk about Clinton, I'm referring to that time when he lied on the bible about receiving Oral Relations from Monica Lewinsky....

If Hillary Clinton had been the cause of a fatal traffic accident while she was a teenager would it be ignored as it has been with the case of Laura Bush?

At the age of 17, Laura Bush caused the death of a classmate in a car accident (http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/laura.asp). Why was she not cited for manslaughter?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4177266.stm There is no denying that Iraq has held election and decided a free democracy is not the way for them. SO it's OK because because American lives and Billions of Tax dollars don't need to be CONSERVED ??

The Israelis and most of our media are lying as usual.

But here's the truth people :)

"basically the current stage of what's going on -- there's a lot more -- begins with the Hamas election, back the end of January. Israel and the United States at once announced that they were going to punish the people of Palestine for voting the wrong way in a free election. And the punishment has been severe.

At the same time, it's partly in Gaza, and sort of hidden in a way, but even more extreme in the West Bank, where Olmert announced his annexation program, what’s euphemistically called “convergence” and described here often as a “withdrawal,” but in fact it’s a formalization of the program of annexing the valuable lands, most of the resources, including water, of the West Bank and cantonizing the rest and imprisoning it, since he also announced that Israel would take over the Jordan Valley. Well, that proceeds without extreme violence or nothing much said about it.

Gaza, itself, the latest phase, began on June 24. It was when Israel abducted two Gaza civilians, a doctor and his brother. We don't know their names. You don’t know the names of victims. They were taken to Israel, presumably, and nobody knows their fate. The next day, something happened, which we do know about, a lot. Militants in Gaza, probably Islamic Jihad, abducted an Israeli soldier across the border. That’s Corporal Gilad Shalit. And that's well known; first abduction is not. Then followed the escalation of Israeli attacks on Gaza, which I don’t have to repeat. It’s reported on adequately.

The next stage was Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers, they say on the border. Their official reason for this is that they are aiming for prisoner release. There are a few, nobody knows how many. Officially, there are three Lebanese prisoners in Israel. There's allegedly a couple hundred people missing. Who knows where they are?

But the real reason, I think it's generally agreed by analysts, is that -- I’ll read from the Financial Times, which happens to be right in front of me. “The timing and scale of its attack suggest it was partly intended to reduce the pressure on Palestinians by forcing Israel to fight on two fronts simultaneously.” David Hearst, who knows this area well, describes it, I think this morning, as a display of solidarity with suffering people, the clinching impulse."

When the American people stop their government from sending a total of $90 Billion of their taxes to Israel to support their barbaric acts then the fighting will stop.

And also when the American people stop their governments from vetoing any chance of a peaceful settlement, then maybe there will be an agreement.

Because we are against affirmative action, against illegals, against gay marriage..etc etc, they call us racists and bigots. Why do they say that? I mean its like a grade school argument and calling names but why cant they have an adult arguement or debate about it without resorting to name calling?
