That is so anti-semetic don't you think so? like as if their is a grand conspiracy for Jews around the world to control everything. I am from Israel and speak out cause most jews do not like to make problems on speaking out since we have always been a target of scrutiny.

When a person posts on Y!A and the question or answer is extremely insulting to other political parties, what is the objective? There is a lot of insulting that goes on here and I have been curious if people are just venting frustration or if they are trying to convince others of their viewpoint. It's almost like a game--insults, thumbs down or up, collect points, etc.

Either way, do you believe it ultimately does any good or do you think it helps further the divide between fellow Americans?

Or that we are sharing information with each other in ways never heard of before!!??

Are they aware they can't get away with their pomp and circumstance like they used to?

We have a recording of everything they say and do like never before.

And we aren't afraid to use it!!

This country is ours every bit as much as it is theirs!!

Let's take a survey, shall we!?
1,000,000,000 Hindus
1,200,000,000 Muslims
1,000,000,000 Buddhists/Jains/Jews
1,500,000,000 Sikhs/Taoists/Shinto/non-relig... and Indigenous religions (oh yeah, and gays.)

4.7 billion people. Wow, if that's your idea of ultimate goodness, I'd hate to see your idea of a vicious god. Your claims of benevolence and kindness are a fraud. You make me sick the way you slander whatever Creator there may actually be. Your kind, the superstitious and insane, have always stood against truth and decency in the world. You don't deserve respect; you deserve ridicule.

If you've seen me post, you would know I'm always citing third party sources like Whitehouse.org, the Census, Library of Congress, American Meteorological Society, Geological Society of America, etc, etc.

Why is it cons rarely do the same thing? At most, they will cite right-wing partisan sites like CATO, newsmax, and Heritage.

You don't see me citing democratic underground or moveon.org.

Don't cons want to learn something new or VERIFY what you believe really is true?

For example, some con said there was double digit unemployment under Carter. Had he verified this for himself (on the Labor department website) he would have seen there was no double digit unemployment under Carter and that in fact unemployment was higher under Nixon and Reagan.

why do american leftists hate private healthcare and private insurance so much? even in many european nations where socialized healthcare exists, they still allow people to choose the private alternatives if they want. this is because they know that public health is so much worse. Ive lived in Hungary for several years, and even though they all pay for public health, no one uses it. they would rather pay more for private service. the only thing better about it is that illegals cant use it because they always ask for a "TB" card which proves that you are a working legal resident. in america even illegals get medical attention. maybe thats why healthcare prices are going up...

Do you agree with the foreign policy that our government is currently using towards manipulating other countries foreign policies to favor ours? The CIA since the 60’s has tried to change the political scheme of countries by financing Military Coops or otherwise known as “golpes de estado” against Venezuela and Chile. They manipulate counties like Mexico and others that are in process of developing but are being held down because of the US foreign policy. I love my country, but documents are out there that show all this, what would you say if you knew that our CIA is out there manipulating the worlds countries? Conspiracy, or truth…open discussion……

As an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this.
I recently got thrown into prison for my passion for football related violence and drinking and as i sat there in my cell i often talked with my mates Slasher, Thumper and Clomper about Americans being very stupid and being like their stereotype.
Slasher said he once knew a American who went into a bookshop and asked "Have you any Shakespeare?"
The bookshop owner asked "which one?"
to which our American friend replied"William"

And what do overwieght republican voters think of the way micheal moore is being attacked (simply on the basis of his weight) and this insight into what conservatives think of overweight people (voters), in light of this movie?

FDR drastically increased taxes and spending. The economy grew like it never grew before EVEN if you don't include the WWII years.

Con excuse: Well he came from a depression. Even though the economy thanked for four straight years after 1929, it was bound to come up.

Reagan saw less growth then FDR, JFK/LBJ, and Clinton.

Con excuse: Well, it was because he was coming off a recession. So yes I can see how I'm a hypocrit by pointing at the depression FDR had to deal with as a good thing, but the recession Reagan had to deal with as a bad thing.

The economy grew every single month Clinton was president.

Con excuse: It was all the dot com bust. That's it. The over 22 million jobs that were created were all in IT and they all disappeared after the bust. I have no proof of this but I will assume this to be true.

Why is it that those who make minimum wage or barely over minimum wage feel like they're ENTITLED to live in the same houses, drive the same cars, and live the same lifestyles as those who earn more? Why do they feel that those who earn more OWE them something? Why do they feel like the "rich" should pay more of their fair share to help fund social programs and welfare, but don't feel as if they should have to pay any taxes at all? Why do they feel as though they DESERVE the same things that so many of us have worked our asss's off to EARN?

Did you know that Barbara Bush (Barbara Pierce) is related to Franklin Pierce? Did you know that Franklin Peirce was named the worst president of the United States of America?

Is it a coincidence Franklin Peirce is an ancestor of our president, G. W. Bush?
