I know that as a non-Republican I pay a heck of a lot of taxes, so I am confused they often come on here saying they pay all the taxes.

Looks like Sept last year the US and N. Korea had signed a deal to stopN. Korea's nuclear weapon program. Four days later, the US Treasury Department emposes criminal sanctions, effectively breaking the deal. So this is still all Clinton's fault right? Keep in mind the US version of Newsweek IS NOT running this story, only the international additions. Buried truth as usual.

You don't have to expIain anything; just the answer.
I just want to see if they give themselves more credit than they deserve.

I have noticed a preference. When a White person is in a plane crash; when a white student is missing the whole world news cast talks for days on; even interviewing the parents. Blah, Blah, and Blah. But when an miniority is missing, CNN and other news broadcasters will do maybe one segment and thats it. Why is this?

Why are you so fervently against abortion, yet you think abortion is okay when the woman's life is in danger? If you really thought the embryo is a baby then why would you want it killed to save the woman, isn't its life more precious because it didn't get to experience life? My friend is pro-life and she opposes abortion even when the woman's life is in danger, she says she is dissapointed that people against abortion think is okay when there is a life or death situation.For example, if you saw a baby and a woman drowning, wouldn't you save the baby? Why do you prefer the woman's life when it comes to abortion in case of life and death? I want meaningful answers and pro-choice people can answer too.

Recently, our President said "My job, is to do my job". Do you think that is really his job or might it be something else?

"The specific contents will become clear if you keep watching," Song said. "We never speak empty words."

Margaret Becker, UK Foreign Minister has criticised the holding of up to 450 persons as illegal, what do you think?
For me, this is yet another case of where the Yanks have gone too far!

open your home and let homeless, illegal mexicans, poor blacks and disowned gays into your home. Why don't you feed them, give them support and let them sleep in your bed. You wouldn't would you, because you don't care, that's just a mask you put on to gain support and later dismiss them as a burden.

Similar to what's been done in London, there seems to be a new push to do the same for major US cities. I personally feel that this is not infringing upon our rights, as long as it is used properly and monitored closely by independent sources. Any thoughts?

OK yesterday day i got fired from a job because i refused to call person an African American. like i told my boss right before he fired me to me there is no African Americans out there we are all American. and u don't see me calling myself a German American so why should i have to call them a African Americans. and further more none of them are even from Africa the guy that had me fired was from Chicago he was an American the same as me. i think that that trem just causes a a bigger rift in us as a nation by that term because it still them rubbing the slavery issue in our face.

How important are the upcoming elections? Extremely important! Below is a list of what we can expect if the liberals win. These elections are crucial. It is vitally important that you vote. Please vote and encourage others to do the same. As bad as things are, they will be infinitely worse if the liberals win.

The strategy of the liberals is to get Values Voters so disgusted and discouraged that they will not vote. If that happens, the liberals will have achieved their goal and they will be running our country.

Or is the fact that he is no longer president good enough? If that is good enough, will you stop bringing his name up? Or is that a necessary diversionary tactic from discussing what is going on in the world TODAY?

From wikipedia:
If the word is taken literally, it could mean 'against the enemies of the establishment, but not necessarily aligned with the establishment'. To make an example: If you take terrorism to be against the establishment, and thus disestablishmentarian, then those who oppose terrorism (but don't necessarily support the target of terrorism) could be said to be displaying antidisestablishment arianism.

In August of 1994, Mel Reynolds, a Democratic United States congressman was indicted for having sex with a 16 year-old girl. Despite the charges, democratic leaders did not discourage Reynolds from running for re-election. In August 22 of 1995 Reynolds was convicted of 12 counts including: sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography. Later, Reynolds was convicted on 15 more charges of bank fraud and SEC violations.

In August of 2001, democratic President Bill Clinton pardoned Reynolds who then ran for office in 2004 under a democratic ticket. Democratic senators did not ask him to stop running. Reynolds currently works for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition.

The questions are, why did President Clinton pardon such a horrible criminal, why did democratic leaders not urge Reynolds to drop out of politics, and why would they continue to attack republicans over Mark Foley when they continue to let child predators work in democratic campaigns?

There seem to be intelligent conservatives that think out their answers. And there seem to be brainwashed buffoons that do not display facts but instead hack and demonize and ridicule with no intellectual basis.

To be fair, there are also mindless hacks on the liberal/Dem side of the spectrum, but let's consider the ratio of liberal-zombies to conservative zombies here... I think the ratio speaks for itself.

A supplementary question to my original question would be: do you think that your political party (whatever it is) is well-represented by these negative, spiteful people?

I'm asking about political thinkers here, so no "Rush" answers please :)
Personally, my favorite is Russell Kirk. Although I do realize that his dream of true anti-ideology social conservatism will probably never be realized, I just love the optimism and humor that permeates his works.
Two runners up are James Burnham and Albert J. Nock, neither of whom were true conservatives, but both brilliant men with engaging ideas.

How about you?

If I had a nickel for every conspiracy theory on the left, my income taxes alone would make a budget surplus!
