Politics - 18 October 2006

I've been studying up about this in school and it seems to me that post-WWII the U.N. decided to give the Jewish people their "Promised Land" and took part of Palestine and created Israel. Understandably, the Palestinians were upset and so, along with other Arab nations, attacked Israel it's first day as an official country. Israel fought back, and thanks to the USA's help when it came to their military, they were able to not only keep their land, but they expanded and took the majority of Palestine.

Am I understanding this correctly? What's it your opinion about this? How should the US be involved? And please, be sincere about it.

Socialism is not only ineffective, but it is immorale. The reason countries like Sweden can afford to be socialist is that they know big brothers like America will keep them from getting wedgies and their milk money stolen. Isn't the phrase "To those who need from those who can" the big socialist motto? Well if I can, what does that have to do with you needing. Find a way to get it for yourself. It is the same concept as me living next to a rich guy with a mansion. He has a Ferrari. He can have it. I think I need it. Shouldn't I be able to go drive it around? Oh wait...thats the same as stealing, which is what socialism it. If you can not find a way to make a good life for yourself...your problem not mine. Maybe you should have put down the joint in high school and payed attention.

It is an undeniable fact that will not go away until we do something about it.

My question for you conservatives is this. Are you more, or less likely to support a politician once you find out he's racist? You know, like Trent Lott, and George Allen....

Jesus never mentioned gays, sex, or stem cells; only love, forgivness and hejping the less fortunate. St. Paul said the the LOVE of MONEY was the root of all evil.

"I will guarantee you this though. In one week to 10 days, the terror level will be raised to orange, and we'll be told that there is strong evidence of a threat against America. Rove can't resist that one.

I don't think it will work though."

It's the last answer.

Does anyone else think that this "dirty bomb" threat is utterly bogus and is a desperate Rovian attempt to scare Americans into voting Republican?

they talk of american family values, while they twist the truth until it becomes a lie, while they are making sexual advances to children.
they tell us all good americans pay their fare share in taxes, while they move their business' off shore so they pay no taxes. if there is a problem with a country they don't like, they send our young men and women in and just blow the crap out of them. if one of our son or daughters die, they are patriotic americans! where are their sons and daughters? sipping drinks on the beach somewhere safe! then as good americans, we have to pay to rebuild that country, after they signed away our jobs to some third word country. then they tell us , if we all had a better education and we worked harder this would not have happened to us. we just expect too much! then they find a way to secretly raise your taxes and try to make us think it was our idea! SHUT UP & PAY UP seems to be their motto! I'M TERRIFIED of them!

They prove over and over how much they hate America. Why would we ever give the terrorist the rights to OUR court system and have you and I pay for it! They are not Americans, They would slice your head off in a New York minute, Whats up with th e DC dems wanting them to have US citizen rights?
They didn't have any rights like that in previous wars, I don't get it! I'm dumb please help! Maybe we should be like them and stuff the captured with bombs in their stomachs like they did OUR SOLDIERS!
Is that what you people want for this country? Seems that dean,pelosi,murtha,kerry,durbin,reed and teddy boy wants!

Honestly, if you even mention that business with Occidental Petroleum and the Elk Hills oil fields, Gore's supporters get awfully angry with you. Why do you suppose that is?

Since Bush is the new Hitler, tell me how these two gentlemen are so alike, remember though these similarities cannot reflect on any similarities shown by the Democratic Party, as they are pure and free of sin.

Many of you are asking why people support the republican party. Here is an article that that states what I believe in. Can someone answer me in a similar fashion why are you a democrat?

The reason I ask is tammy hall as a poltical that spew out favors on Demand, and Im sure Tom Delay, and Ney, Reed would love it then could till there pockets full of easy money, In 1880 that election was close I Tilden was supposed to win But Haynes got in if i Remeber right, but most presidents at that time were morphine junkies or drunkards in America.

Here are the facts

Clinton an FDR wire taped our phones
Clinton expanded welfare, which means that you get more free money with the more rights you surrender
Clinton supported socialized medicine- read above
Clinton opposes freedom of speech, remember path to 9/11 Clinton hired a lawyer because the series hurt his feelings.

And now we should be pissed at bush because he took away our right to bring Gatorade on the airplane?
Because we cant bring our coco cola on the plane this proves the terrorists won?

What fancy logic I hear from the liberals
