Politics - 25 July 2006

Superpower can be defined both Economically and also militarilty. We have countries like China which experts estimate will overtake USA between 2015-2020 economically.

History shows that Rome once was the superpower. But where are they now. Even the British were feared at one stage. That also changed. Remember the Vikings? Neither do I. My point is, history shows that superpowers change ever 50-100 years or so.

I get called that a lot. And it isn't true. I was born right here in the USA. Got the birth certificate to prove it.

I have to point out the sarcasn in this question, because the politics section attracts a lot of right wingers (AKA morons).

They're always reminding us Bush didn't win the 2000 election by a majority. They often tell us how divided the country is, how 2/3 of the country dislikes Bush, how "red states are turning blue" because they're "tired of all the crap."
Then two seconds later, they say they're ostracised from the rest of us, how the "herd mentality" keeps us all Republicans, how they are branded unpatriotic for being brave enough to stand out.
Seriously, how brave does one have to be to remain liberal in America? How brave do you have to be to post "Bush is Hitler" on Yahoo? How many liberals in America have actually been ostracised?
So which is it -- does half the country agree with you, or not?

We stand alone with Israel on their misguided attack on the Lebanese people. The whole world including Britain is condemning Israel, now Rice 'regrets' the loss of civilian life.

I have a few suggestions:

Hillary Clinton- She has had 11 abortions in the past decade

Barack Obama- A space alien

John Edwards- raped a 5 year old Mexican boy, then allowed his family to jump the border.

What?!
None of those statements were any more outrageous than trying to say John Kerry was anything but a war hero.

Probably been put out there before on this forum, but here it is:
Split the country into 3 countries. One for the Kurds, one for the Sunnis, and one for the Shiites. The modern Iraq is an artificial entity created by the British anyway... why not let them govern themselves the way they would want to?

I can't see any real problems with this, but does anyone have any good points to present against it?

It seems as if the only parties that matter are the Republicans and the Democrats. The Independants barely have a voice! We think we are a free society but every week they are making more and more laws to restrict us. How do Libertarians even matter?

That's right, his press secretary is former FOX news personality Tony Snow.
What's next, Attorney General Hannity? Defense Secretary O'Reilly?

Zacarias Moussaoui did not kill anyone, but yet he is in jail.

Laura Bush murdered her high school boyfriend and didn't even spend 1 minute in jail.

How come they receive different treatment in Amerika ?

Obviously it is unlikely that a draft will occur in the states, but now there is so much confrentation going on (especially now that Israel is in conflict with Lebanon). If a draft were to occur would you pick up arms or make a dash for the nearest border?

Did he only mean that he was going to unite conservatives and ultra conservatives?

If you go by approval ratings, Clinton was the biggest uniter of the century.

Go ahead blame liberals- but it really is weak when you do that-

we all see who is doing all the spying, lying and killing in the name of the Lord-
( I have a problem with that )

just be a man, and admit the error. Change your ways now. Repent.

Attention deficit disorder- THERE WERE NO WMD's and we knew it... think positive, why do you want it not to be true? sheep play follow the leader- don't get suckered in to the right-wing culture of death- unless your a billionaire, your going down with the rest of us, only difference is, you are agreeing with it.

America stands for Liberty, Freedom, Civil Rights

Republicans stand for Fascism, taking away privacy, and taking away peoples civil rights

So, why do Republicans refer to themselves as Americans ?

John Kerry supports killing unborn children and accepts campaign donations from baby-killing abortion clinics. So, will the fake lying self-called Catholic Kerry go to Hell when he dies ?
