to the people that answered that they are both democrat and God believers, how do you feel about wanting to remove intelligent design theories in the class rooms, ten commandments off court walls, and the nativity scene being removed from the public?

Recently, in Britain a Muslim women was fired from her teaching job (in a British public grade school) for wearing a full Islamic outfit (including the whole face covered).

What you think? Should they have fired her or let her wear the veil while teaching?

It seems like more and more politicians are using scare tactics to get people to do what they want or to vote for their party, this is happening more and more with republicans who say that if we don't let them lead us, there will be a terrorist attack. Is there anyone dumb enough to believe that? The terrorists will attack either way because they think they have a just cause for killing us all. And it's not like the Democrats want us to get killed, they want to live as much as we do.

Here's what my friend told me:

18 WAYS TO BE A GOOD LIBERAL

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Iran or Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach
4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about - sex.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but PETA activists do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

17. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

18. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Oops, can't do that either

First of all, the only presidents in the past to have a Congress which was the same party as the president were Jimmy Carter and Now George W. Bush. Personally, I believe for the sake of checks and balances, Congress should ALWAYS be the opposing party.

Secondly, shouldn't a law have been made a long time ago to prevent the president and his cabinet (who will always be biased) to campaign during the midterm elections?

Lastly, to show his pro-life and anti same-sex marriage views and not talking about any of his other policies in the churches...shouldn't that be considered misleading and unfair to gain support from very religious people like that?
Bush has been supporting republicans who are doing this.

What do you think about all this?

I think this defense is sleazy. It just casts doubt on the character and morals of other men who were molested as children but who are living honorable lives. What do you think? And is Foley's mention of the priest just another example of Republican buck passing?

I believe this is an English speaking country, and if you want to live here you have to speak the language most commonly used.

Don't like it? Don't move here. It's our language.

For a guy whose mission is "ridding Y!A of stupid questions," he seems to ignore a lot of the stupid crap that comes from liberals around here. I just think it's more of a target-rich environment than he thinks it is.
