Before Clinton took over, customer service in any field was at its peak (outstanding). Now, you can notice the difference by the people they hire (thanks to affirmative action). Agree/Disagree.

I wish there was a way the oil companies could come up with an alternative fuel that would make oil obsolete. I say this not as tree huggin' liberal....I would just love to see the middle east run out of money, and hence much of the money to terrorism would be cut off. Ohhhh, one can dream.

I don't understand how this war is doing such, since we don't need massive output from factories, and in turn the factories need to hire more workers. Am I missing something that would make this war help the economy?

Not just the US, there are also cases against UK soldiers.
I'm admittedly pro-Islam, nevertheless, I don't accept what Sadam Hussein did during his time as Iraqi head of state. However, this is no reason for allowing so-called 'civilised' countries to go 'Scott-free'.
Violators, and those who ordered and/or turned a blind eye to such actions should be brought before the courts and be held responsible for the infrignements which they either perpetrated or for which they take the ultimate responsibility.

Over the years the government has been messing with the interest rates and gold is at an all time high lately. The last time I saw this was during the Carter years.

Gold prices typically go up during a recession/depression.

Will this catch up to us eventually?

Will we have to pay the piper somewhere down the road?

The polls suggest that 85% of Americans think that Iraq is a failure, and yet the neoconservatives seem convinced that the job can still be done. Also that the only thing going wrong is that some people hate Bush more than they hate terrorists. Bonus points if you address the points (either for or against) made by the neoconservatives in the following link.

I am now non-partisan but I do have strong feelings about my political views. For instance, I don't want more taxation and I want government out of every little thing, but I'm for protecting the environment, for social justice, no death penalty, I'm christian but don't think my religion equals my politics. I think politicians are power-hungry and that government is too bloated. My biggest desire is to "live off the grid". So where do I fit? Please, no personal insults about my views. I tolerate you, you tolerate me and remind each other this is a free country.

What do you think of us Democrats having the majority in the House, now? What's your opinions on it? To me, I think it's about time that America finally comes to her senses that God had freely given her.

Eliminate the special interests created by both the Liberals and the Conservatives.
Ensure the voices of the poulation are heard over the screeching of the two parties?
Follow innovative leadership into the Libertarian Party with the intent of creating a successful third party that forces change in the way the government taxes, spends and creates budgets?
Particularly for the implementation of a flat tax, substantial reduction in federal agencies while working to strengthen the military?

I am getting sick of overprotective parents reamoving mine and everybody else's questions. They should not be here. They should be out protecting their 5 year olds.

This is not a joke. Nick Pope, former MoD chief warns that Britain could be attacked by extraterrestrials at any time and complains that the projects he once ran are now "virtually closed" down, leaving the country "wide open" to aliens.

Mr Pope decided to speak out about his worries after resigning from his post at the Directorate of Defence Security at the MoD this week. "The consequences of getting this one wrong could be huge. If you believe these things are extra terrestrial craft then you cannot rule out that what is happening is some kind of covert reconnaissance."

These are the same guys that tell us that our neighbors are terrorists. That there are terrorists around every corner. Does this hurt their credibility, or will you just brush off that the equivalent of Rumsfeld in Britain says aliens will attack us if we dont submit to government protection? Just a thought....

I've heard a lot of criticism that the democrats have no plan for Iraq. I will admit they have not done a very good job of conveying and publicizing their ideas. But when republicans criticize democrats for not having a plan, think about what that says about republicans. To me, it means the mess is so bad that not even professional politicians can figure a way out. So when I hear a republican say that democrats have no plan, in my mind I am also hearing them admit that republicans made a mess that can't be cleaned up.

What are your thoughts?

The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006 (HR 5295) would require any school receiving federal funding--essentially every public school--to adopt policies requiring teachers and school officials to conduct random, warrantless searches of every student, at any time, on the flimsiest of pretexts. Saying they suspect that one student might have drugs could give officials the authority to search every student in the building.

These searches could take the form of pat-downs, bag searches, or strip searches depending on how administrators interpret the law.

House leaders circumvented the usual legislative procedure to bring the bill to a quick vote. It did not pass through the committee process, but went straight to the House floor. There, it was passed by a simple voice vote, so constituents cannot even find out how their Representative voted.

They're both zealots who believe they're right and everyone else is automatically wrong. They try to control people through fear. Even though neither Jesus nor Mohammad advocated violence, they both seem to think putting your enemies to the sword is what God wants. So besides having a different name for God, what's the difference?
And yet the Religious Right has the gall to label Liberals as terrorist sympathizers?
