It's the stereotype, but is it true?

I'm 99.9% certain that the number of people kill each year by the use of guns CAN BE AVOIDED. So why can't congress abolish all guns to the general public? Don't give me the 2nd admentment crap either...freedom to bare arms (you still have your knives and baseball bat). Also for you hunters out there, you can establish a "rental" system at desinated hunting grounds. "its not the gun that kills people, its the person"....some say. I say BS!

That is one of the weakest of weak arguments liberal make. I don't assume all democrats are former Rep. Mel Reynolds, D-IL, or Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA, .

Get a life and find a new argument.

Do these videos show proof of a symetrical implosion that is physically and statistically impossible without the use of explosives?

Housed at 7 World Trade Center were the United States Secret Service, the Department of Defense, the (SEC), the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

WTC 7 was not hit by a plane. No steel skyscraper, until this day, has ever collapsed from a fire. Ever!

Anyone else think Barbara S. is an idiot? Why can't celebreties simply do what they do best and entertain, who gives a crap what they think about politically. Free speech is great, but when you have a captive audience who is there to hear you sing, taking advantage of that to further your personal agenda is a cheap shot.

Our government was well aware for years what has been going on in NKorea and how China supplies them, is their biggest ally. China for decades has sent back refugees who try to flee NKorea back knowing they will be tortured and killed. China sends back women who are pregnant, knowing what will happen to them. It is really unspeakable, I don't even want to type it. Why have we never said Boo to china on NKorea? but continued to have great trading relations with them. Can we boycott Walmart and the Dollar store until china does something about NKorea? WalMart must have some leverage with China. Are the people who run WalMart Christian? Because What China does regarding NKorea is messed up.

I'm not saying all of you but a few I've heard these rubbish opinions.
By even remotely comparing hungry children in other countries to what is going on in NKorea, you must be crazy. Starving orphaned children roam the streets because their entire families starved to death. People are resorting to cannibalism, this is directly because of the dictator, he allows his soldiers to eat, and sell relief food marked "USA" and "FRANCE" in the market to only people with money (those in the military and their families) everyone else starves to death. NKorea blames everything on the US somehow, even before they said they had been "provoked".
You can not appease a psychopath who has work camps with whole families and which tortures even children.
I agree we are spread too thin in the middle east, but even China making war on NKorea and people dying would be much much better than leaving it as is so that there is never any hope at all for these people.

Everyone is saying "Bush has been in office for six years. He should have done something" It's kind of hard to do something with a madman running around with nukes now isn't it. Of course Bush is doing something but we can't just declare war against N.Korea, otherwise Kim and his psychopath self will launch nukes like crazy. Who knows how many nukes this guy has.

Clinton and Carter both had the chance to either stop or severely weaken Kim while they were in office. Both could have imposed severe sanctions, could have use spec forces or something. At least Kim didn't have any nukes then, so he couldn't talk the S#$t he is talking now about declaring war on the U.S.
Now I'm not blaming Clinton and Carter but those two could have did more to deal with this issue along with others.

Clinton's counter to McCain's claim that Clinton's policies opened the door for north Korea was that there were no development of nukes during his 8 years in office. Do you think that is true? Do you think Kim Jeong Il waited for Bush to be elected to start working on them?

First off, they are starving. The military are the only ones fed. If anyone else is even remotely suspected of being a traitor or saying something negative about the dictator, he is tortured and killed, his entire family is put into a work camp and is forced to labor and is tortured. Women are raped by the soldiers and even children are beaten and tortured.
There is no talking to this government. This dictator told farmers to stop growing crops to feed the people and instead they are ordered to grow poppy for heroin and opium production.
They are a gangster government.
We have to pressure China somehow to not help NKorea but to make war on them and snuff out this very evil horrifying government.
NKorea has threatened a war on us.--assumingly a nuclear attack..
I suggest we take it seriously.

These Polls show this might be true. What do you think?

The latest Newsweek poll shows the president's approval ratings are at new low, just 33 percent.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15167150/site/newsweek/

That's less than the Thirty-six percent of respondents of a recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll that said it is "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them "because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East."

We've seen this before. In 2002 the Democrats' message was, "Get back at 'em for 2000." In 2004, it was, "Bush sucks. I'm not Bush. Vote for me." Now, it's?"Republicans suck. We're not Republicans. Vote for us." And that, friends, is the extent of it. There's no cohesive message beyond this. Even when speaking about the problems in Iraq-admittedly a troubling endeavor for many people, to say the least-the Democrats really have nothing new to say. In fact, what they do say is so old, it's reminiscent of what they've said in conflicts past-if it gets tough, run away.

In congressional races that are tight, it has-as in most cases-more to do with the character of the contest between two individuals than with any one national policy. This is to say that the local character of the race is what ends up being most important.

Admittedly, the Democrats are poised to pick up enough seats to retake the majority in the House of Representatives and will, in all likelihood, close the gap in the Senate, barring an outright takeover there as well. But is this because their ideas are now, after all this time, just that much more appealing?

Not hardly.

Their ideas didn't resonate all those other times because their ideas aren't popular. They aren't resonating now, either. To the extent that the situation in Iraq has had an effect on this election cycle, it's simply because the situation there looks consistently bad, not because the Democrats' alternative on Iraq has any great appeal. This is because there is no coherent Democrat alternative on Iraq, other than running away, very fast.

Winning enough seats in the house because the current majority has problems is hardly an affirmation that anything liberals stand for is worthwhile, which it's not. They will of course convince themselves this is not true, that they've won the philosophical argument for all time just like they did in 1992? two years before they lost it again. What is missing from this logic is the fact that what Democrats normally campaign on remains essentially unchanged from 1992, and that's the last time it did them any good.

In the final analysis, if the Democrats do take over one or both houses of Congress, it will be in spite of themselves, not because they've won anybody over. That will still give them control of that branch of the government, but when all is said and done, that's a flimsy foundation upon which to rest a so-called revolution.

If anyone knows about what has been going on in NKorea in previous decades, you should know that there is no talking to the totalitarian, brutal dictator. He systematically starves off his people and small children roam the streets starving while soldiers ignore them, there is even rumors of cannibalism. He ordered the farmers to stop growing crops in favor of poppy for heroin, anyone who is not in the army is starved to death. The army and government are the only ones fed with relief food shipped which was meant for the poor starving people of his country.
The soldiers sell the relief food in the market to only those who have money while small children sit looking on starved and everyone ignores them. There is a very good hidden camara documentary on this, if they caught this former NKorean who filmed it, they would have him tortured and killed. China sends back desperate NK refugees to NKorea knowing they will be tortured and killed, and if she's pregnant....

The grim reality is the USA can't fight a war in Iraq, and invade North Korea at the same time. Sad, but true. Most of our military resources are in the cesspool called Iraq.

North Korea is a real threat to our nation.
Iraq was no threat.

North Korea has WMD's.
Iraq had none.

The neocons really screwed up because MOST of our military resources are in Iraq. And we are unable to deal with a real threat.

He doesn't invade North Korea and the same people who are bashing him for the war in Iraq are bashing him for not doing ENOUGH to North Korea!? Pick one or the other!

As an independent question, Are people really so blind as to not see the double standard that they are spewing?

I am truly bashing ANY politician that would say two completely opposite statements. It is insulting no matter what party they are.

Me thinks they doth protest too much. If this was a groundless claim, then I would expect to be ignored, NOT argued with or condemned. These responses I get are very, very defensive and offer a lot of convoulted and muddy " facts " or they offer straw men or red herrings. I am thinking it REALLY was stolen.
