The Marxists are right in the sense that ultimately there will be one producer or one small handful of producers of X but that X becomes ever narrower - - - - ultimately Coke or Pepsi will win or at least the two combined will maintain their extremely high market share - - - - in the market for COLA. NOT in the market for soft drinks, for cold drinks, for drinks.

Nobody NEEDS Cola. There are several SUBSTITUTES for Cola. Cola must compete with those substitutes for your beverage dollar. All of that means that Coke and Pepsi can't just charge "whatever they want" for their products.

I was going to grab a link, but the story has been taken down or moved. But Musharraf has withdrawn from a committee of Pakistani and Afghan leaders to work towards peace. His spokesman said there was too much meddling coming from Washington about violating Pakistan's sovereignty. Obama has been shooting off his mouth without thinking again (or maybe he doesn't do thinking!). A couple days ago, he said he would attack Pakistan to try to kill Al Qaeda leaders.
Musharraf has been a good ally in the war against terrorism, but old "Make it up as you go" Obama has made the President's job a little harder. I guess that is ok, if you operate on the premise that the harder Bush's job is, then the more likely Democrats will gain advantage.
Can anyone deny that Liberal B.S. is killing US Servicemen? Pretty much the same way as they did during Vietnam?

How can people seperate the Muslims into two different groups - Terrorists - Non-Terrorists?

When they ALL go by the same teaching out of the Quaran, which says to kill the infidel.

Are there two different different Quarans, or just one?

I was checking my AOL email and I logged out and came upon this article. The headline grabbed my attention: 'Elizabeth Edwards' Regret: 'We Can't Make John Black'

I clicked on the link immediately and read it because it was presented on AOL as if it was a 'controversial (i.e. racist) remark, I had to see it for myself. She was NOT being a racist. She wasn't even being sexist. She was just stating her thoughts.

I won't go as far as to say that Obama is only going after the black vote or Hillary is only going after the women's vote like Liz is implying, but every comment of this sort isn't made out of malice or racism. So why do the media constantly misconstrue them as such?

What do you think?

I am not looking for antiquated liberal banter. It seems as if liberals today not the mainstream Democratic Party but true card carrying left wing liberals have a deep seated hatred for this man. Why? Please enlighten me and if you can please do so with out using the term "con", right wing conservative would be fine. Hate is a deep seeded emotion. So tell me why?

I asked a similar question earlier and most of the people who answered must not have heard this story. (I guess it wasn't reported on The Daily Show or CNN aka Clinton News Network).

A student at Pace University in New York was arrested for commiting a hate crime because he put a Koran in a toilet. Isn't that freedom of speech? Why is a religious book protected while it is perfectly legal to burn the American flag?

I'm rather confused here. It seems to me that we are stuck in a two party system, both parties staffed with individuals that who would qualify as being retarded on most accounts. Of these two parties we have red states, and blue states, and party lines...has anyone stopped to ask "Hey, whose establishing the parties ideals and addenda?" So my question is this...has everyone lost the capacity to think for themselves and is the ability to hold an open debate lost forever to be replaced by the lip service of a stogy party, which from where I sit is drastically outdated and out of step with America?

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE WHERE SHE IS TALKING ABOUT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S HANDLING OF IT (you know how Y!A Politics contributors LOVE credible links)

"They believe in letting everyone fend for him or herself. They believe in what the president calls an ownership society, which is really you're on-your-own. It's the yo-yo economy; some go up and some go down and the strings are pulled by other people," Clinton said, repeating a familiar theme from her campaign speech. "I don't think that's how America works best."

Do you agree with this? Or should those with bad credit and with a low income be more cautious when purchasing a home.

Would you rather see things made in the US even if you had to pay extra for it?


The recent warnings and recalls about toxic toothpaste, tainted pet food, contaminated seafood and lead paint-laced toys from China haven't gone unnoticed by American consumers - the vast majority of Americans (82%) said they are concerned about purchasing goods from China in the wake of many media reports about faulty goods from that country, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

After all it is the red states that have had their guard units called up and its those red states that have had their kids in the military sent to Iraq .
Its the pulpit at church that convinced them to support this nations military over the years as good patriots and people who love Jesus .

The red states are the one who are sacrificing the most in this war and although they asked for it reality is a bitter pill to swallow . They think liberals feel that their kids deaths mean nothing if we can not declare a victory and win in Iraq .

Truth is all we want is to save the ones still there who we can return to their homes and families .
