Shameless. UnAmerican if you ask THIS partriot.

example:
"Part 2 - Are You An Anti-War , Negotiate With Our Enemies , Always Embracing Christian Democrat ? Are You Sure.."

Are you sure? Bible tells ME the christian thing to do is to:
-Love your enemies
-Forgive your neighbor not seven times, but seven times seven.
-Do unto others as you would have done to you.

The kind of partisan politics used by the Republicans using religion as a weapon will NOT win any wars abroad....

...only start more wars at home.

Your turn.

Specifically Clinton and Obama running for office. Many people say they have no chance because of gender and color.

Would you vote for either of them regardless of their political party and ideas?

Do you think other americans would vote for them?

I saw someone say many people say they are religous when asked just to avoid a confrontation with fundamentalists.

what would motivate someone to invest more of their money if taxes are raised and they would need to make more gains to actually make more profit after taxes? 1% return isn't really that exciting. john edwards wants to raise capital gains taxes from 15% to 28%. thats almost double. more ways to reach into our pockets.

Ecclesiastes put into song :

To every thing , turn turn turn
There is a season , turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose , under heaven
A time to be born , a time to die
A time to plant , a time to reap
A time to kill , a time to heal
A time to laugh , a time to weep

To every thing , turn turn turn
There is a season , turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose , under heaven
A time to build-up , a time to break-down
A time to dance , a time to mourn
A time to cast-away stones
And a time to gather stones together

To every thing , turn turn turn
There is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time of Love , a time of hate
A time of WAR , and a time of PEACE
A time you may EMBRACE
And a time TO REFRAIN , FROM EMBRACING

To every thing , turn turn turn
There is a season , turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven. ..
So ya thought that being a Christian meant always 'embracing' , peace at any cost , and not killing those who would kill you?

I posted 4 questions today about gay marriage. I didn't bash but simply asked for opinions. I asked a question and it wouldn't post so I'd rephrase it and did this 3 times but none would post. The last one finally did and it's the only one that didn't have the phrase Gay Marriage in the questions title. So... is this topic taboo for Y/A? Why do they always feature questions about this topic or about tolerance but won't post my questions?

Think of the decrease in the number of rapists, molesters, and perverts from banning porno... there are other methods of sexual release. what is the freedom of speech worth in the case of something that only harms society? after all, if you threaten the president, you get arrested whether its verbal or not, whether the pres is conservative or liberal. if you threaten a congressman the FBI will pay you a visit, and it wont be for tea and crackers either.

There are plenty to choose from; Diebold stole the election. The war is 'ILLEGAL'. I make $10 an hour and Bush's tax cuts didn't help me (psst....you don't pay federal income taxes so naturally you would not benefit from a reduction in federal income tax rates).

My favorite is "Our founders were LIBERALS". Ya Right. Can you imagine;

Jefferson: First of all we need to raise taxes then we need to let the gays marry!

Madison: Yes we need to provide all kinds of free goodies to people who chose not to work. Also, lets make abortion legal.

Hancock: I will fight this revolution as long as we have zero casualties. The Chimp Washington was AWOL during the French and Indian war.

Washington: After the first casualty we need to remind the people everyday about the death count so we can bring the trrops home. We need to raise taxes, did someone else say that already!

Franklin: Tax, Tax, Tax....Everything should be free. Just tax the Rich.

You know the old saying, your acquaintances will help you hide from the police, but your friends will help you hide the bodies. When the chips are down and the balloon goes up, who will be with the US? I realize that Bush has just about ruined our reputation globally, but I'd like to think we have some friends left in the world.

At the rate that conservatives are deserting Bush, when he leaves office will they, quite literally, turn thier backs on him as he leaves the White House?

Will you call him a liberal, anti-American, or claim he sides with terrorists for pointing out Gonzales lied? Comey said he lied. Ashcroft said he lied, and now the director of the FBI said he lied. Will you Demonize all of them?

Sorry just had that song on my mind...

My question (based on my earlier question re why people sue one another and what's wrong with America) now is this, and ok I'll eventually get to what the question is in my roundabout way:

It got me thinking...I'm trying to figure out why Americans are like no other human species on this planet...you're a very intersting "culture" you know...because you really have uniquely developed a way of living that is unlike any other.

Patriotism...I haven't really come to understand that yet, is primarily linked to the military....the fact that government runs it, and judging by the huge split and division in politics...makes me wonder if it's not the Republicans who really have control over the military....that is just one of my takes on this (and please feel free to comment on that...)

But that's not really what I wanted to talk about here. When I asked about people suing each other and why and what's wrong with America...I concluded this:

By banning marriages they don't like - stopping embryonic stem cell research that could save lives - attempting to force our children to pray in school - telling a woman what to do with her body - and basically impose their "beliefs" on those of us who don't believe the same as they do.

and hire HB1 workers from India?

I heard that you can save a ton of money that way.

I will be buying a business from a retiring owner soon, and will have about 50 employees or so that I want to replace with foreigners.

My dad says because of Bush's tax cuts he can send both my brother and I to college without us taking out any short term loans. Thanks Mr. Bush!

The tax cuts have to be responsible for this smoking economy!

Economy Grows at 3.4 Percent Pace, Best Showing in More Than a Year!

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070727/economy.html?.v=14

Dow 14,000!

Since August 2003, more than 8.2 million jobs have been created, with more than 2 million jobs created over the twelve months ending in June. Our economy has now added jobs for 46 straight months, and the unemployment rate remains VERY low at 4.5 percent.

It looks like the tax cuts benefit everbody!

..forces.
How is the us going to make up for all the suffering that has caused? And there are still people that think the gvmnt is doing a great job. What do you think? Is it a wise thing to be in iraq?
1.No WMD
2.No terrorism prior and after the invasion- Would you call yourself a terrorist if somebody invaded your country and you defended it?
3.The majority of the iraqi wants occupative forces out!
4.The puppet goverment of iraq does not represent the people who have protested against the occupation

It's been for years of war, what has been achieved? Murder and chaos.

List them, give details, explain why they are issues, and give your solutions for each of them.

Sign your post by stating which party you"mostly" vote for.

Considerate analysis and well thought out solutions is the goal here....and of course the party that you lean towards.

Or have you all forgotten what went on in those Inquisition torture chambers? I know the Catholic church would like you to forget, but maybe we should just stay true to history instead. How about it?
