The Dow Jones topped 14,000 today for the first time EVER and continues to set record highs, earnings are up, payroll is up, profits are up, mergers are up, acquisitions are up, taxes are down, tax revenue is up, interest rates are down, homeownership is at record highs, consumer spending is up, savings and investments are up, unemployment is STILL below 5%, the economy is growing at it’s fastest rate in over 20 years, AND ALL DURING A TIME OF WAR! So let’s hear it liberals. Tell us how all of this is bad! I could use a good laugh!

Specifically after troops begin returning from Iraq and Afghanistan upset at the government, mainly Democrats, President Bush and some Republicans at the moment, who fail to offer much financial or emotional support for them. Combine that with the population's dislike of the war, disgust with the government and economic problems. What do you believe the likeliness if of conflict breaking out in this country?

Just something to think about.

That when liberals want something "most people want it" , and when they don't want something 'No one wants it"? Thats what happens when you watch CNN, it rots your brain.

I mean I could understand if they were against abortion but birth control and condoms are the way of preventing abortions from happening by stopping the baby from ever being concieved in the first place and condoms also stop the spread of STDs. I mean I know they say abstinence but that is so unrealistic I mean it is a human instinct to have sex.

Do those that own guns have a right to defend that right? And if so, can they use them to defend it?

Aren't stories like the one about Al Queda attacking on US soil a matter of National Security? I mean, what can the public possibly do to prevent this? Shouldn't information like this be "classified information"?

When are the Democrats going to stop supporting al-queda and start supporting our troops.

Under what conditions would you allow troops to leave Iraq?

Do you think those conditions are realistic? Plausable?

I don't think any of us - liberal, conservative, whatever - actually WANT abortions. Okay, maybe some do, but this question is for the rest of us that don't.

Women have abortions because of a pregnancy that, for whatever reason, they don't want. From a medical analogy, I believe that the diagnosis is unwanted pregnancies, but if abortion is made illegal, does that attack the symptom rather than the cause of the illness? What, then, can be done to cure the illness of unwanted pregnancies and, from a social perspective, not just use a band-aid to cover the bullet hole?

I see sometimes people compare countries, but it doesn't hold water if you compare states.

Violent crime is way up in Mattapan, one of the remaining low-income areas in Boston.

The anti-gun nuts blame this on loose gun laws in other states, including Vermont.

By that logic, if access to guns causes gun violence, then the murder rate should be skyrocketing in Vermont and should have gone up there first and then spread to Mattapan.

But that's not what happened.

Caring about the victims of violent crime in poor neighborhoods means actually trying to solve the problem - not using it as a straw man to support a political agenda that has nothing to do with the actual problem. Yet that's what the Left does with this issue.

So many talk about him, what he says, what he does and doesn't do. Like some sort of celeb to the Left. Rarely a con would mention his name or even a topic he brings up. What gives?

If/when US troops leave Iraq, w/o having won the war & the Iraqi Shiites & Kurds (they hate Al Qaeda as much as Americans do) take over & outnumber Al Qaeda/insurgents by at least 10 to 1, how the heck would Al Qaeda turn Iraq into a terror state in which to plan & launch their attacks from?

If US troops left Iraq the Iraqi Shiites & kurds would immediately wipe Al Qaeda off the Iraq map & win the war on terror in Iraq w/o any US help.

So maybe that's why Bush wants to keep US troops in Iraq. It's not to stop the terrrorists (which he hasn't been able to do in 6 years) it's so Iraqi Shiite & Kurd Muslims don't get credit for winning the war on terror in Iraq which would be extremely embarrassing for Bush.

If he did this, doesn't it mean he had plenty of time to plan the murder/suicide? Maybe steroid use results in diminished capacity to reason, not just product rage!

If this was the headline tomorrow ..that Iraq is asking the USA to leave immediately and to remove all of its troops from Iraqi territory before the end of September, and that they have cut a deal with Iran to help stabilize their country.

What would be your recommendation to President Bush ...if you were a trusted advisor?

They got tons of it. It is much closer than Iran and Iraq, a piece of cake and cheap too, just across the border.

govenrment if they have come to the unanimous conclusion that their right to "Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit Of Happiness" has been taken away from them by their government?

And if so, would the US Military stand with the population, or quash the insurrection? Could a son wearing a soldiers uniform actually raise a weapon to his own mother marching on Washington D.C.?
