Well he talks about inclusion and working to bridge the gap in America but it seems his political teams actions tell a different story. Today, he appologized for a memo his staffers sent out criticizing Hillary Clinton for working closely with Indian Americans in regards to fundraising. He stereotyped a whole race of Americans as people that want to out source every American job. I think it was careless and he should be ashamed. Most Indian Americans are doctors, lawyers and business owners that have no tie to out sourcing. To generalize things like this on a whole group of people that are already misrepresented is shameful in my opinion. If he wants to preach a message of inclusion and non-smear tactics then he is starting off on the wrong foot.

Hillary 08!

Communist Dictators in Russia (Stalin), N.Korea (Kim), Ethiopia (Menguistu), Zimbabwe (Mugabe), and Venezuela (Chavez) have or are in the process of land reform. Land reform being a progressive term for stealing land from and starving the people. The UN and Aid groups have been sending food aid to countries where the land has been taken away from the productive members of society and given to the unproductive. The result is the Capitalist countries are feeding their enemies.
Don't you think that the USA should refuse to send food or medicine to countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela?
It seems cold and cruel, but shouldn't we help our allies and cut off our enemies?

They don't want equality. They want world domination. They will say democracy as many times as it takes to elicit the emotional responce that will allow them to manipulate as much as possible. They have no interest in the common good and only pander to the pravate intrests of those they think can help them achieve their conquest goals. I am sick of seeing how easilly working americans are being duped into working for eliteists. Elitists are throwbacks to a more anamalistic time in which people organized into pecking orders like bird brained chickens. They haven't the brains to work toward the common good and instead have only learned to tell people what they want to hear and make them think that they are going to do good. What they really do is horde power and resources without putting them to use in a responsible and sustainable way. If the majority of Americans want to rob the minority of their rights and voice in government then the majority are criminals along with who they ellect.

Why do you REALLY think Bush is trying so darn hard to push this bill which will make 20 million Catholic Mexicans legal citizens? All of America is standing up and saying "NO!"
And yet the politicians are almost all saying "Si!"
What gives?

Hidden agenda maybe? Low cost workers? Lobbyists from the Catholic Church (including the Pope)?
What is supposed to be the BENEFIT to AMERICA in this mass (no pun intended) legalization?

Many liberals hate the idea of stereotyping, for good reason. You shouldn't stereotype the opinions of a black man just because he's black, or stereotype women into the role of housewife, or stereotype an Arab immigrant as a terrorist. Libs are always first to point out that people should not be grouped into demeaning catagories.
But then in political debates these same "open-minded," "well-educated," liberals accuse all conservatives of being...
* Brainwashed by Rush Limbaugh. (As in, "Why do conservatives believe ___?" "Because Rush told them to," implying that every conservative can't think for themselves.)
* Desperately in love with GW Bush (there are many conservatives who dislike him, for the record.)
* White hillbilly rednecks from down south flying confederate flags (there are plenty of well-educated conservatives as well as African American and Asian ones)
* Fundamentalist nutjobs (Many conservatives aren't even Christian)
Libs: Why is this form of stereotyping acceptable?

There has been a lot of things said about Mr. Bush since his first term. A lot of his decisions (ex. Iraq War) have been criticized. He wasn't even supposed to win his first election. So how in the world did he got to repeat? Have you been listening to you I-pods all this time?

The White House isn't pro-amnesty because it wants to "appease" liberals, or because it wants to be considerate of Mexicans. It's pro-amnesty because illegal immigrants work for figures that a regular American would never work for. I don't understand why some conservatives on YA think that pro-amnesty is a liberal idea. It may be among many liberals, however, it's primarily an idea that big business supports...like all of the factory farmers in the midwest who need cheap $3/hour labor. It's quite simple actually: There's alot more profit when you're paying a worker 5 times less than a regular worker. And that's something that the big corporations like...

So, stop whining about how you dislike Bush because he's appeasing liberals. He's not, he's just appeasing his corporate farmer friends down south who need the cheap workers.

Who else agrees with this?

Who is to say it is unnatural? People do what is natural for them. Just because something seems unnatuaral to a homophobic person does not mean it is to a homosexual person. So why should the homophobic person's have more value?

Our system is set up sooooo wrong!!!

How many U.S. soldiers need to risk their lives/and/or die to provide stock growth for U.S. citizens to secure their retirement?

One way or another nearly every publicly traded stock has an interest in the companies that make their money off of the U.S. Militarized Industrial Complex!!!

It's disgusting and takes advantage of our brave men and women in uniform!!!

How can you place someone with dreams and aspirations under a socialist government? I tell you that it will never work.

God has placed it inside of every being the potential to break barriers, smash glass ceilings and accomplish great things when man say it is impossible. You will always find the one person or persons that will stand out in a crowd, spread his wings and soar high above his peers.
It is not because the his peers were wronged but because he applied himself more aggressively when everyone else stopped to rest.

Should we penalize the over acheiver? Take away his accomplishments and give it to those that feel they've been cheated by life.
Of course not. But that what it looks like the liberals of this country now wants.

Big government = socialism

Socialism = trying to put a stop on what man can accomplish

Stopping man from acheiving = the downfall of a great nation
