Take the corruption in politics, what is wrong with democrat values?

Preserving the enviornment
Helping those who fall on hard times (unemployment, welfare, etc.)
Increasing taxes to fuel much needed social programs, education
Womens right of choice
Unions to protect workers
Higher diplomacy (although I feel conservatives are diplomatic too, just not Bush)
Corporate morals beyond bottomline (think Starbucks and Ben & Jerrys)

Aren't these values we are taught at a young age to know and treat other with such. Doesn't nearly 90% of our country believe in a god that pushes these values and we don't follow.

I am confused, I really am.

-Is the US really a democracy or a cleaverly disguised dictatorship.
-Is democracy in the USA more fulling than communism in Cuba, or are americans being brainwashed to think so.
-Does the USA practice what it preaches, even when it constantly meddles in the affairs of others ( Iran, Iraq, Korea - present, Cuba, Vietnam)

I didn't realize that americans dying in a foreign nation was so funny. Apparently that guy thinks it is. THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT AMERICANS DYING!

This guy supports the war, endlessly hawks, and believe American sacrifice is acceptable to "save" Iraq. Then he adds a questions about liberals rejoing over the war death toll!

Most libs want our brave heros to come home and let the Iraqis run their own nation.

Government funded welfare programs are a trade off between freedom and security. Money is power and when we turn our money over to the government for programs such as unemployment (the benefits are paid by employers, but the program itself is taxpayer funded), Social Security, food stamps, and public schools we give up power and freedom to the government that would otherwise belong to us.

Unemployment recipients for example give up much of their freedom to decide when, where, and from whom they will accept a new position.

Food stamps and other handouts are expensive and low income workers who would prefer to save for such contingencies have a harder time doing so because so much of their money goes to taxes to pay for those programs.

Mandatory contributions to Social Security take away the workers right to decide how much of their retirement funds are invested.

Paying taxes for the public school system makes it difficult for low income parents to choose private schools.

My father told me about a muslim woman in Florida trying to get a license. When she was going to get her picture taken the photographer told her to take her veil off. The muslim woman told the photo guy that she wanted to keep her veil on because of her beliefs and FREEDOM...

Let me tell you why this doesn't work....

Because if we let people come to our country and doing their own weird things, they are basically eating this country inside-out.

But of course we let them pray here and let them kneel to their go and let them "live" but if you don't comply to a country's standard way of life, than you shouldn't be treated like ME or my fellow brothers and sisters who are the pure American people and went to school here.

A perfect example are Mexican people. Why should they get Spanish signs telling them everything so they don't have to learn English?
My Polish father didn't get Polish written signs to tell him where the hell things are! He studied his bum off to succeed here.

Some people I've talked to think that in America there is no class system which is ridiculous. America has more class divides than most places. Where else in the world do you have high-schools jocks beating up on intellectuals and mean-spirited rich kids beating up on the lower-classes? Give me a break!

I have yet to hear a Democrat or a Republican speak critically of their party.
I'm starting to suspect that they beleive that their party is incapable of fault.

When I heard on CNN earlier today that there's been buzz about a "non-credible" terror attack at six U.S. NFL games this Sunday, my first suspicion was that it's the GOP's desperate attempt to sway the Nov. 7th elections.

Why didn't the Democrats foresee these dangerous, predictable GOP shenanigans and call them on it before they could spread fear?

Don't bring up the electoral college- the PEOPLE didn't vote him in. He was chosen by a group of people that THOUGHT they knew what we wanted.

In my eyes this country has not had a president for six years but the victor is a dishonest political coup.
