There was a feeling that we were united. There were no Democrats, no Republicans, we were all Americans. I really thought that the tragic events of 9/11 would pull our country together, but in the end, it seems like it has divided us even more than we were. We all need to think about that day, and realize that we are all on the same team. While we may not agree with each other on all issues, let's realize that not all Democrats are terrorist-loving communists, and not all Republicans are war-mongering fascists. Instead of attacking each other, lets open our minds to all ideas, and make this country great. Any thoughts?

Obviously, my question has been misunderstood. Let me try this again. I have no problem with the pledge of allegiance whatsoever myself, and really have no feelings one way or another about it being recited. I am a Christian, but I am also what one would consider a minority in more than one way, and living with discrimination has been par for the course of my life. What I am saying is that individuals who align themselves with the 'religious right' get very bent out of shape about it, yet they couldn't care less about liberty and justice for anyone who doesn't think exactly as they do.

We build a school in Baghdad, while our educational system suffers.

We pay to feed the children and homeless of Iraq while children in our own country suffer.

We give Social Security to damn near anyone who wants it but our seniors can't afford the medicine needed to live.

The U.S. gives foreign companies tax exemption for 7 years to operate in the U.S. while encouraging domestic companies to hire and use workers from other countries (Wal-Mart).

Many Americans are struggling to survive in their own country due to Katrina and relief still hasn't gotten to them, yet Hezbollah is handing out crisp new 100 dollar U.S. bills to people in Lebanon (where the hell did they get them?).

Does it seem our tax dollars are being abused? Or am I mistaken? Please comment. Respectful criticism only please.

What do you all think about the movie from the UK that depicts Bush getting assasinated?
Do you think that it can possibly provoke an attempt?

I just saw Loose Change for the first time last night. It really freaked me out and I have been researching its accuracy ever since I watched it. I want more than anything for someone to prove to me that it is a hoax. Please use examples that can be proven. So far all of the opposition is merely laughing and name calling. That does not mean they have a case. Please, someone prove to me this film is bogus. Thank you.

Now I know all members of the parties fall into this category so if you take offense to my remarks, this question targets you.
Neither political party is doing any good for this country. They were meant for like minded citizens to group together and vote for someone who was in line with their views. They were not meant for politicans to use for their own personal gain. This split we have in our country is the fault of the party leaders who only have the parties views in mind and not the views of the people who support it. They are not agreeing on anything and our indecisiveness is being mocked by the entire world. They need to put differences aside until the current issues that are so important right now are resolved. They will not do this as they do not want what is best for us but what is best for the party. Politicans are using the party for personal gain and we are being taken advantage of as it is not allowing anyone else into office. We do not have a real choice. Please comment.

Don't you realize that arguing and trying to support your political and religious beliefs gets you nowhere? Why do you have to get so animated and animalisitc over this stuff that means nothing? Political and religion preferences are strictly opinion. Don't you have better things to do than argue every day about the same BS which leads absolutely nowhere? Quit pushing your dogma on people. This nonsense makes you out to look like a bunch of retarded monkeys. Life is short, get laid and die wealthy.

What I'like to see is for American's to see how Canada dealt with the terrorists as opposed to how George W Bush is doing now. We still have a democratic society - will you ?

Canada had a very smart man at the helm - Bush I am not so sure of and all I ask is that you compare one government for another when confronted with terrorisim.

The FLQ was crushed by the then Prime Minister's actions

i dont know about you guys but i dont think that the government should be telling me if i my girlfriend can have an abortion or if i can marry a man. i think they should be focusing on the growing economic gap and increasing poverty. the growing immigration issue and international trade, but that is just my opinoin. oh yeah and there is that whole global warming thing going on.

wouldn't that be awesome? Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, John Kerry, Frank Sinatra, and The Queen Mother could do some sort of ritual sacrafice in the background, instead of having a bunch of marines sitting behind him.

We've been over there for over 3 years now. We have succeeded in getting Saddam out of power, and killing his twisted sons and toppling the Baath party. Bush says we went in for that reason, and also to find and destroy the weapons of mass destruction, and says Saddam had links to Al Qaida. There have been no major find of WMD, and no proof that Saddam had anything to do with Al Qaida. I agree with having gone into Afghanistan, to destroy the Taliban and to destroy Bin Laden, but we are barely doing anything over there anymore, and the Taliban is back on the rise. Now we have Iran knocking down the door to Iraq, and threatening the U.S and Isreal with building a nuclear reactor! Plus the Shiites are trying to gain control of Iraq, violence there is at an all time high. Iraq is on the verge of an all out civil war and collapse. Should we stay? Leave? Interfere with Iran? Support Isreal? All of this while North Korea is launching warheads into the sea of Japan? Are we screwed?

I know this may seem like a silly question. I've noticed that people who are opposed to the currently sitting president (whoever that may be, not just G.W.B) like to exlclaim 'the Bush/Clinton/Whoever administration screwed this up!'

Technically, 'administration' should be a fairly neutral word but it appears to have been hijacked by opponents. Why?

From Wikipedia:

I see people on here who say things because i dont think they understand at all. some do, some dont. i think maybe this will help people get a better grip on what we believe in, and see that we arent a group of people who are unpatriotic, hate america, and support terrorism...because that only shows the ignorance a lot of americans have about politics...

Libertarianism is a political philosophy advocating that individuals should be free to do whatever they wish with their person or property, as long as they do not infringe on the same liberty of others. Libertarians hold as a fundamental maxim that all human interaction should be voluntary and consensual. They maintain that the initiation (or threat) of physical force against another person or his property, or the commission of fraud, is a violation of that principle. Some libertarians regard all initiation of force as immoral, whereas others support a limited government that engages in the minimum amount of initiatory force (such as minimal taxation and regulation) that they believe necessary to ensure maximum individual freedom (negative liberty). Force is not opposed when used in retaliation for initiatory aggressions such as trespassing or violence. Libertarians favor an ethic of self-responsibility and strongly oppose the welfare state, because they believe forcing someone to provide aid to others is ethically wrong, ultimately counter-productive, or both.

Yes, an amendment needs to added to the Constitution prohibiting firearms. Law enforcment and Military should should be the only authorized groups authorized firearms. The 2nd Amendment is outdated and doesn't take 21st century America into consideration. There are thousands of accidental shootings and deaths resulting from firearms in the home and hunting accidents. People say that if firearms were banned, only criminals would have them. How often does a law abiding citizen take down a criminal due to having a firearm in the house? Extremely rare situations which does not justify the need to maintain a firearm. I am sure you can find another hobby besides shooting innocent animals. There are absolutely no positives to keeping a firearm in the home. Which is more important, your firearm or the possibility of losing your kid due to an accident?

i just recently heard about this film. i am a liberal, and i don't support Bush in any way, but before anyone tries to accuse me of anything, i just want to say this...although i dont support him, i do think this is a little much. i dont have much respect for him...but come on? i understand the point in making the film due to the reality that it could happen...but just because you dont like him is no cause to make a film of him being killed. thats just way over the line. what do you think?
