Could Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards actually be right about something? Not where to go to get a haircut, mind you, I mean about there being two Americas.

There is the vibrant America . . . and the stagnant one.

Maybe the better way to say it:..Is there two Americas??..one productive and vibrant with new ideas and inventions...and a lazy one that feels its owed something and blames its problems on those who are productive and votes for politicians who will punish that productivity with tax's that will fund their laziness...what do you think?

Do you think this can happen? (isn't it that way in most futuristic flicks?)
I was listening to Bob Marleys "War" earlier and I thought of this question.
It is one of his most amazing songs that applies to whats going on today. You should check it out.

Gorden Brown and George Bush want to make the moderates stronger in the middle east.

How when poitics is so divisive - and where the extremes on both sides are of the opinion that you are either for us or against us..or that you either agree with Isreal or you're a anti semite etc...or you are either muslim or you're a godless infidel - can they possibly strengthen the moderates?

Also it appears that Tony Blair is possibly going to be envoy to the middle east from the unted nations..

How do you think he'll do? Bearing in mind he has actually had some success in Northern Ireland, getting two bitterely opposing sides of the religious spectrum talking to each other?

Is this the war on freedom? can we really say that, having to sign a government list while checking out certin books from the Librarry, Being spied on and then lied to, and actually using "delayed warrents for searching people is helpig us fight terror?
When we trade liberty for security..who really wins? When we ask questions about the war only to be asked in return " why are you asking questions about the war?" What kind of a system is that?
I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat. But When our leader Insults our objections and pleas of concern and then gives himself the label "Educator in Cheif" it sounds like they are trying to take the power of our voices away.
They have a saying in the Army "failing to plan is planning to fail" If we just sit back and ride this out like we have been doing, enduring the highly questionable changes and attempted changes to our constitution. what will our future be like?don't you the freedom to object and not be ivestigated

It surprised me that he lost. He pushed Iraq out of Kuwait, didn't raise MY middle class taxes. I didn't support him, but I expected him to win. What went wrong?

Public Education is a disaster. Far too often we see high school graduates who can't read, write or do math. Throwing money at the problem isn't working. If you ran an business in the same manner as Public Education, you'd lose your shirt. Rewarding employees (teachers) who turn out a miserable product is counterintutive.

When education policy discussions occur, liberals quickly jump to point out how "public school teachers are poorly paid". Clearly, this is a talking-point provided courtesy of the thugs in Big Labor.

Typically absent in these discussions, however, is any reference to systematic data on how much public school teachers are actually paid.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS):

-The average public school teacher in the United States earned $34.06 per hour in 2005.

-The average public school teacher was paid 36% more per hour than the average non-sales white-collar worker and 11% more than the average professional and technical worker.

I think my soul will die a little if I join their ranks, but I really want to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. I think he is our best shot at a decent president.

I think we are the ones who truly LIVE it by following the 10 Commandments and not taking God out of our daily lives and public places as the liberals do.

We often here debate about America's best presidents (Washington, Lincoln, F.D.R.) and the worst (Pierce, Buchanan, Harding [or Clinton and Bush if you think you can actually judge someone so soon]), but who would be the most average president. Perhaps our 20th-23rd best president?

Bill Clinton > February 17, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."

Bill Clinton > February 17, 1998
"We have to defend our future from these predators of the 21st Century.... They will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein."

Johnny Edwards > January 7, 2003
"Serving on the intelligence committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. It's just that simple. The whole world changes if Saddam ever has nuclear weapons."
Johnny Edwards > February 6, 2003
"The question is whether we're going to allow this man who's been developing weapons of mass destruction continue to develop weapons of mass destruction, get nuclear capability and get to the place where -- if we're going to stop him if he invades a country around him -- it'll cost millions of lives as opposed to thousands of lives."
