come up during the republican debate to make up for the lack of the democrats discussing terrorism? What is wrong with the democrats? Don't they realize the sky is falling, or do they realize we have major problems at home that are even more important than living their lives in fear of terrorists? Seriously, is our children learning?

Reasons:
1. Illegal wire taping
2. illegal detainment of US citizens without proper and timely due process.
3. lying for the lead up to the war.

I am sure that we can think of many other things, but the reasons listed are my concerns.

The MOVEMENTS TO IMPEACH SEEM TO FALL SHORT OF GOALS:
1. Dennis Kucinnich introduced articles and it was ignored.
2. John Conyors, Barbara Boxer, Republican Chuck Hagel explored these issues publically.
3. Seven states considered resolutions and Vermont passed a resolution but all have fallen short of gaining serious national attention.

Zogby poll says that 53% of Americans will support impeachment. (This includes dems and conservs).

Now that it is election time Bush's own party has parted ways with him b/c he hasn't given them a good record to run on!

(( This president seems to be above the law and above criticism!))

QUESTION TO YOU??
When are we going to be about the business of doing this and stop giving this lip service???

Is the word fundamentalist too big for them?

I don't know about you, but when I hear the word radical I think secular, probably godless, egalitarian, socially liberal, left-wing environmentalist/animal rights activist.

Can a group who stones gays and feminists, wants women covered up from head to toe, believes in prayer in the schools, religion in the government, and thinks western popular culture is leading to social decay, be described as radical when the word fundamentalist seems so much more appropriate?

Who thinks that people who are fed up with Bush are inept and get their political knowledge from the same place as Rosie Odonnell?

Why then Abraham Lincoln wait until January 1, 1863, almost two full years after the Civil War started, before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves?
If slavery was the sole issue for the American Civil War won't you think that Abraham Lincoln would have freed the slaves at the beginning of the Civil War instead of halfway through it.

Personally I believe that the so-called "al Qaeda in Iraq" is exactly zero threat to the United States. But even if one did believe in such a threat - who's to blame for creating it?

"If we find our government in all its branches rushing headlong... into the arms of monarchy, if we find them violating our dearest rights, the trial by jury, the freedom of the press, the freedom of opinion, civil or religious, or opening on our peace of mind or personal safety the sluices of terrorism, if we see them raising standing armies, when the absence of all other danger points to these as the sole objects on which they are to be employed, then indeed let us withdraw and call the nation to its tents. But while our functionaries are wise, and honest, and vigilant, let us move compactly under their guidance, and we have nothing to fear. Things may here and there go a little wrong. It is not in their power to prevent it. But all will be right in the end, though not perhaps by the shortest means." --Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, 1811. ME 13:29

Let's see:
Free Speech Zone
Patriot Act
Iraq War

What else would Thomas Jefferson be upset about?

in the modern sense of the word?

In his Rights of Man, Agrarian Justice, and Age of Reason, founding father Thomas Paine argues for:
- public education for every single child
- a pension system for the elderly
- a minimum wage
- the right to bargain
- secular government
- progressive taxes (meaning shift taxes to the rich)
and even
- a government work program

HERE IS CALLING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION

"After all the above cases are provided for there will still be a number of families who, though not properly of the class of poor, yet find it difficult to give education to their children; and such children, under such a case, would be in a worse condition than if their parents were actually poor. A nation under a well-regulated government should permit none to remain uninstructed. It is monarchical and aristocratical government only that requires ignorance for its support..."

Do you know Bush is taxing us more than we think he is. How? not directly but rather by indirect means. While inflation looks like it is normal government is printing more money than it ever was. As you know a euro is one of the most stable currency in the world and was about .80 cents in 2000 now costs almost $1.48. I am hoping as educated citizens you know the gold value is rising ever since paper money came to existance, But I want you to look at the pattern. http://goldprice.org/gold-price-history.... In year 2000, 68 cents were equal to one canadian dollar now it is almost 89 cents. that is about 20 cents/dollar. means in canadian currancy if you were making a $100000 a year now you are making only $80000. If you will say well it dosnt show up in price. Then the reality is food prices and basic expenses are going up. Elctronics and bigger purchases like houses and cars hasn't went up. So do you think the tax cuts were real?

Since she and her husband have decided to enter the Presidential race, is what she says open to criticism...OR...do we all give her a pass because of her medical condition?


The following was a question of mine regarding a statement that Elizabeth Edwards made:
Elizabeth Edwards is going to give up eating tangerines to save our earth, what are YOU going to give up?
Mrs. Edwards is making a huge sacrifice and giving up tangerines in the name of Global Warming and Conservation...how noble. With such a huge sacrifce on her part - what can we "little people" do to EQUAL her amazing contribution to society?

HERE IS ONE OF THE ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION:
Wow... Not just smearing a candidate with non-issue nonsense ... Not just smearing a candidate's wife with non-issue nonsense... but smearing a candidate's wife who has inoperable cancer with non-issue nonsense that means nothing to nobody...
Fantastic!! Way to raise the bar on political discourse!

What do you think?
