Lets say the Green Party or the Libertarian Party won the Presidency. Congress will be ofcourse mixed with Democrats, Republicans and a couple of Independants. How is anything going to get passed?

"Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful." - mathematician Theodore Kaczynski

It seams there is an ultra-conservative movement happening with the majority of republicans and the deligating of authority. It trickles down to the lowest of lows and it seams friends and even peer groups are buying into it. There also seams to be an economic oppresion happening meaning putting caps on wages and business oppertunities. It seams as if there is some control over who has the oppertunity to succeed, and you have to be in good with the controlling party.

I didn’t realize how right Democratic leaders were about this culture of corruption thing in our congress. But what they forgot to say is that the most egregious perpetrators are in fact Democrats!

Imagine taking money from a terrorist group! An honest mistake? It’s so hard to tell since we know that Democrats believe that when they accept dirty money it actually becomes clean. You know, like turning water into wine.

WASHINGTON - Illinois congressman Danny Davis and an aide took a trip to Sri Lanka last year that was paid for by the Tamil Tigers, a group that the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers, law enforcement sources said. ~mercurynews.com

If there's anything more telling than the corruption and hypocrisy of Democrats it's the feigned innocence and pathetic denial of Democrats talking about a purely 'Republican' culture of corruption. But 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis says he had no idea! Gasp!! Absolutely no idea at all that these funds could have come from the Tamil Tigers, a terrorist organization based in Sri Lanka.

Davis' seven-day trip came under new scrutiny this week following the arrests of 11 supporters of the organization on charges of participating in a broad conspiracy to support the terrorist group through money laundering, arms procurement and bribery of U.S. officials.

The five-term Democratic congressman said he was unaware that the Tigers paid for the trip and on his required congressional disclosure form he reported that the trip was paid for by a Hickory Hills, Ill.-based Tamil cultural organization, the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America. ~mercurynews.com

Who could have guessed that taking a trip to Sri Lanka funded by the Tamil Tigers 'cultural organization' could possibly mean taking money from a terrorist organization. Why, I might have made the same mistake myself if I were in 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis's shoes. I'm not sure what I would have to ignore to be that oblivious, or how ignorant I would have to be about Sri Lanka and the terrorist group I would be taking money from, but certainly I could make the same mistake... or could I?

In this same article we also learn that the 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis went on this trip and -- hullo? -- met with the leaders of this terrorist organization!

During the visit, Davis spent most of his time in a region controlled by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, as the group is formally known, and visited the organization's political headquarters. He also met with a police chief for the region appointed by the Tigers. ~mercurynews.com
Everybody makes mistakes, right?

Or perhaps this is all part of Bush's campaign of terror. Knowing that Democrats like 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis would willingly support terrorists, Bush probably concocted the whole 9/11 attack in order to persecute the aforesaid 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis. Who knows, anything is possible.

But didn't, "The five-term Democratic congressman," say, "he was unaware that the Tigers paid for the trip..."? But then later on in this article he's quoted as saying the following:

Davis said he always assumed that the organization had a connection with the Tamil Tigers.

"I knew that they were associated with the Tamil Tigers, yes," he said. ~mercurynews.com

Boy, I just don't know what to believe anymore.

Between Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, which President of the United States would you want to eat dinner with at your favorite restaurant and why and what would you like to discuss?

As much as I approve of George W. Bush, I would choose Jimmy Carter over George W. Bush because Carter and I are from Georgia and I probably would want to eat at a Barbeque restaurant and talk Georgia History with Jimmy Carter.

I think all the arguing and name calling from both sides is childish and only hinders progress and change for the better. ex: Calling someone a neocon or libtard. Seeing people in their 40's call the other party names is pretty embarrassing, and so is not acknowledging that people's views will not always be the same as your own. Anyone agree?

Lincoln tossed people in jail without trial for disagreeing with his government. Roosevelt opened concentration camps in the US and threw US citizens into them.

Lincoln shut down disloyal newspapers and took funds out of the National Treasury to give to private individuals.

Roosevelt attempted to pack the Supreme Court with judges who supported him so he could override Congress and destroy the seperation of powers.

How can you people ***** about Pres. Bush's violations of the Constitution, but swoon over Lincoln and Roosevelt when they did even worse?
