Today there were protests across the globe demanding intervention in the genocide in Darfur. This situation has been going on for ages and was actually much worse a few months ago, yet nobody noticed. Why the sudden interest? It wouldn't have anything to do with George Clooney would it? Are people really that obtuse?

The only footage that exists is this clip and it was shot during the filming of a documentary. Not shown live and not aired until much later.

We will teach you have to shoot, and even how to do the loop and bounce thing that killed Kennedy, remember?
The bullet looped and bounced and jumped, it was sooooo amazing....
And then a maffia guy entered the jail and killed Harry Lee Oswald...
You know that after that, the maffia guys are not allowed to enter in our jails any more? There is a sign at the front of our jails: "Maffia guys, please don't enter".

I fail to understand Liberal Americas disgust with what happened in New Orleans after Katrina.
What I mean is, Society in New Orleans pre-Katrina was exactly what Liberals have preached for decades now.
Hand to mouth, Cradle to the Grave, Government subsidized existance of the helpless masses.
The whole "It takes a village" crap. I mean isn't this what Liberals wanted?
A Liberal-Socialist Utopia where no one had to exert any ambition, any effort to fulfill their own dreams, the Government would provide everything.
Just sit at home watching soap operas, waiting for your next Goverment check.
Well, now we see just how prepared this type of community is in a crisis. Heck even the local leadership was lost!
And all we saw on the news were people standing around the Stadium like little birds in a nest with their beaks in the air crying "Feed me! Feed me!"
Well, my question is this. Is there an honest Liberal out ther now who will finally acknowledge that this isn't working

I'm asking seriously. To me, it's obvious his administration has been plagued by many lies. I'm trying to understand why somebody would still support George Bush. So I'm looking for a real answer - if you want to just pile up abuse on me for asking, that's your perogative, but it won't get anyone anywhere. Also, please don't tell me Clinton also lied. I'm aware of Clinton's indiscretions. It's Bush I'm asking about.
Bush finally admitted to wirte-tappings and secret prisons which he formerly denied. He also admitted Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, although to me, in the weeks leading to the war, he did link the two on every occasion possible.
So do you a) Think he didn't really lie - explain why, or b) Think that he had to lie in order to do his job properly and that the American public is better for it, or c) Something else?
Feel free to expand.
Thank you.

One minute Muslims are acting all peaceful, blessing everyone, talking all calmly and quietly.
Then someone publishes some silly cartoon of Muhammed or the Pope just happens to read from an old manuscript of a former Popes opinion and immediately the Turbins fly!
Genesis: 16:11-12
"The angel of the Lord said to her further, Behold' you are with child, And you shall bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael,Because the Lord has given heed to your affliction.
And he will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone,s hand will be against him;
And he will live to the east of his brothers."

As you can see there, whites were the only group that voted majority bush. And as you know, the nonwhite % of americans is increasing like wildfire. Will the republican party/conservative way of life die? Discuss.

Has Bush lost touch with reality? The true conservatives - his non-evangelical christian base are leaving in droves.

there are thousands of innocent blood on the hands of the republicans. They supported terrorists states in the 1980's and 1990's and even supplied them with chemical and biological weapons.

The Aided Saddam ( A dictator that has murdered thousands)
They supported Bin ladens family after 9/11 to leave america and safely travel to Saudi Arabia.

They supported The Israeli Terrorist state and their leaders that bombed and murdered innocent children. ( Republicans will say israel defended itself and hezbollah hid with civilians which is bogus and just a scape goat to cover their anti american crimes)


There is so much more but too much to mention.

I don't think President Bush's handle on this war is the best way but I never hear how any Democrate would handle this war any better. The Democrates just want to stop this war; but if we stop this war it doesn't mean the Terriorest will. What do you think?
