Politics - 11 July 2007

the same people who claim to be so smart and said before going to war they knew what the consequences were, are the same people saying pull out now. Do they not know what the consequences are from us leaving the area.

Where do they get the weird idea that they have a right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures and that that right shall not be violated, and no warrants shall be issued, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.?
Is this more evidence they are in fact socialists like the intellegent conservative posters have learned us all?But if that is the case shouldn't they be happy with a law that would make Stalin proud?Please help me understand

I just asked if today's Republican Party was for state rights or centralized federal power and all the con republicans said state rights.

My question is, since when?

The Party of Lincoln used the power of the federal government to force the southern states to end slavery.

The Party of Theodore Roosevelt used the power of the federal government to regulate big business, protect the environment, and help the American worker.

And...

Although today's southern conservative (CONFEDERATE FLAG WAVING) Republicans like to claim credit for what the northeastern/upper midwestern liberal Republicans did by voting for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the act was an excercise in FEDERAL POWER over state rights. It was opposed by liberterians like Barry Goldwater (and his protege Ronald Reagan) for that very reason.

This is the beginning of the age of terrorism in the western world. There have been terrorist attacks everywhere else. With the advancement of technology, the terrorist's technology and intelligence will increase as well.

Since we are in Iraq right now, we are only creating more hatred against the US.

Think of it like a spring. We are applying more and more pressure. The second we let go, it will be a massive retaliation on us.

We have two solutions, keep the pressure down so the spring is held down or let go now and face the consequences.

You could say break the spring, but that would be wiping out every last person in the mideast who hates us and would attack us (basically a nuking, very unethical)

With each passing day, the consequences will only get worse. Once the dems have power, the spring will release and America is gonna get attacked HARD. At that moment, many conservatives will say "well we should have stayed in Iraq, those limp wristed dems screwed America"

People on here and all over the USA say that Liberals hate America?

But tell me what is it that they are supposed to hate.

Is it the current administration
The form of government
The landscape
The people
Or all of the above.

What I am trying to understand from an outsiders perspective is what conservatives use the phrase hate america in relation to?

I do believe we have to be committed to winning this war but I am tired of doing it ourselves (with our allies).

The Iraqi's NEED to take a bigger role protecting their own country. I don't want us involved in their Civil War YET - we can't abandon them either...

Look at the 1800's. People suffering starving and dying of preventable illnesses even though they labored all day. This is because in modern moneys' terms they made 1.25 an hour. Do you realize that conservatives (oh, the good old days!) including former senator Rick Santorum want to economically bring us back to that time? If it wasn't for the democrats, the corporations would have the same iron fist low wage control they had back then and countless Americans would be unnecessarily suffering. Democrats aren't communist, that is conservative propaganda from billionaires who have the money to spread around their lies. They stand for a balance between capitalism and fairness for people who weren't born into the top 10% of America. Look at the Clinton years when we had a SURPLUS our economy was growing and we as Americans were uniting to make our country and world a better place.

Most Americans wanted that in 2000 as well (Al Gore won the popular vote)

I personally think it's important to question EVERYTHING, but especially those who demand that we question everything. I watched it last night, and felt disturbed. Then this morning I found some inaccuracies and made me question the agendy of the director/producer of it. I don't fully agree or disagree with the movie because EVERYONE has an agenda. It is interesting to watch though. Part 1 could have been left out completely (just my opinion) since it merely sets up WHY the following happens.
The one thing I definitely agree with is that if such things were true we as a people would not get: mad enough, organized, consistent, or care. I do believe we are all to distracted with unimportant entertainment and corporate knick knacks. And I don't excuse myself from this cycle of mass apathy.
