Is G.W. Bush happy to see us, or is that just BIG OIL in his pocket?
I know, I’ve asked this before but - got “Dick” for an answer.

USA Today: Did Sandy Berger 'Steal' Secret Docs? We're Debating That Still
You know, it seems pretty cut-and-dried to me. Stuffing secret documents down your pants and removing them from a secure room in a federal facility, that constitutes stealing.
USA Today's "On Deadline" blog isn't sure, though. (bold/italics are USA Today's):
Sandy Berger, the national security adviser under former President Clinton, was disbarred yesterday in the District of Columbia.
The Washington Post says Berger agreed last month to give up his law license in order to avoid a prolonged investigation that grew out of his conviction in 2005 of removing classified documents from the National Archives.

Essentially, it's the "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure" question: how would they view America today?

What would they be most displeased with? What would they applaud?

Do you think that they would want to make any changes or alterations to the Bill of Rights or the U.S. Constitution, knowing now what America would be like two centuries later?

a little late, Newt - hope the GOP listens to you.

He has roundly criticized the Bush administration in recent interviews, describing the White House as dysfunctional and saying the president has driven the party into collapse. While he refrained from direct criticism Friday, he cited failures in Iraq, border security and the response to Hurricane Katrina as signs of a broken government.

can someone please explain why a missile defense system is worth losing the good will of the major powers...esp. when our real threats are from terrorism and Iran and N. Korea have no viable missile force to use against us...it would be easier for N.Korea or Iran to put a bomb in a ship and sail it into NY harbor than waste the money on missiles...Is there a logical reason to cause Putin to aim missiles at Europe in response?

They work very hard and risk their lives every day protecting our borders so we can be safe and many of them die in the process.
They work with limited resources and guard over 6,000 miles of border with only a limited number or agents.
So why don't we hear more about them and give them the credit they deserve for making such enormous sacrafices?
Whatever happened to that fence we voted to have built along the border that no one is talking about anymore?
The men and women who Patrol our Southern Border are true heroes and it would be nice if we treated them with some respect and recognition for doing one of the most dangerous jobs we have in the United States of America.

Whenver anyone mentions education spending, they call it "throwing money at the problem."

Do these same folks believe that military spending is also "throwing money at the problem?"

Situation A) A man approaches me on the street and says that based on my appearance I'm obviously well to do and will I please give him all the money in my wallet? He knows I have more in the bank, and he's hungry, and his wife is sick. I tell him no, so he pulls a gun and takes it by force.

Situation B) The government tells me that I'm obviously well to do, and they want a percentage of my income, but they'll let me keep some of it in the bank for myself. They want to give it to people that are hungry, or sick. They obviously need it. I tell them no, and they threaten to come take it by force and throw me in prison.

Is there any difference between the two situations above? Either way my property is being forcibly taken because somebody else decides that they NEED it more than I do, and I can do nothing to stop them. Is that right, or just?

I see a lot of partisan back and forth here but I don't see the conservative viewpoint being backed up by a great deal of fact. I like a substantial opponent when I argue. Can conservatives consider all sides of an issue, or do they form a blanket ideal from what they heard on Fox News?

Perhaps it was because:

- He slashed all our social services in the 1980's (thus sending thousands of mentally ill to live on the streets)
- He built up our military to levels larger than during WWII (and he wasn't even responsible for ending the Cold War)
- He put the us into the biggest deficit the United States had ever seen up until his term.
- He was a McCarthyist "commie-fighter"
- He espoused the "free market" and ruthless/innefective "trickle-down economics
- He the worst Governor California had ever seen (he despised the ant-Vietnam war student protesters at Berkeley)
- He was responsible for carrying on the torch of radical, neoconservative economic and political theory in the tradition of Barry Goldwater and Irving Kristol
- He was jerk-off...

I keep seeing all of these posts that claim Ron Paul said America was to blame for the 9/11 attacks. Being how I was watching the debate when Mr. Paul said, and I will paraphrase, "American foreign policy is the reason these people show such hatred towards us", I don't understand how anybody can construe that to mean "Ron Paul blames America first". Is he not correct in his assertion? Have our foreign policies not led to resentment and contempt from a lot of countries in the world?

I think we all need to understand that our foreign policies have been gaining us enemies for decades. This is not something that any one President or any one party is responsible for. And it is ultimately the perpetrators of the attack that bear the most responsibility (in a literal sense) for their haneous acts.

I read this question that a lady posted about her brother who had a child who was born with a disability. She showed no concern or love towards her little niece at all. She only wanted her brother to feel ashamed for getting public assistance for his disabled child! I cried for the child to have such a snob for an Aunt. Are there other people this cold hearted?

I know it's wrong, but it takes away democrat voters. As long as democrats keep killing off their children (abortion), and conservatives keep killing them off with the death penalty, and locking them up (since about 99% of criminals are democrat), shouldn't we leave well enough alone for the greater good? For that matter, shouldn't we promote homosexuality, since it keeps liberals from being able to reproduce? It shouldn't be long before the religious right are the only ones capable of reproducing.
