theoretically speaking...

if you knew for sure (say God told you) that the U.S. was in a war that would hurt the nation more than it would ever help it... would you still support said war?

The Terrorists have hit London, Spain, Bali and others but because of George W. Bush's policies;

Wire Taps
Patriot Act
Cuba Prison Camps
Fighting them over there....so we don't have to fight them over here.

The terrorists have not been able to strike America on her own soil.

"Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972.

Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.

For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies."

It's kind of pathetic, all they're doing is typing in front of a computer. I think it's best when they put their beliefs in their name, like "proud marxist" GET REAL, America will never be socialist or fascist, we will always be in the middle.

Extremists are nothing but wimps that got picked on in school and want to feel powerful

His own words.

"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant [William] Calley, are war criminals."

Why are the illegal aliens, the communist Marxists, the Muslim fanatics, and the homosexual radicals working together?

These groups are obviously at odds with each other - Islamofacists hate homosexuals - but they have joined together. Why do you think this is? What is their goal?

If profanity, sex, or violence were publicized as often as religion, if there were as many pornographic images as there were Christmas trees, these left-wing radicals wouldn't even care. In fact, if someone did to profanity, sex, or violence exactly what these radicals are doing to religion, they would be infuriated. Not allowing people to freely say "Merry Christmas" or put up Christmas trees in public is a violation of freedom of speech. It's no different from banning the Harry Potter books because of witchcraft and these are the same people who oppose the ban on the Harry Potter books. So, where's the consistency in this left-wing radical thinking that you can't censor profanity, sex, or violence, but you can censor religion? Why is religion an exception to the principle of freedom of speech and freedom of expression?

A judge in New York has ruled evidence of "hatred" is unnecessary for a prosecutor to pursue a "hate crimes" case against three men arrested for the death of a homosexual man.

The written ruling came from Judge Jill Konviser of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, and concluded prosecutors only need to show that the man, who was beaten and then hit by a vehicle in a robbery attempt, was picked because of his sexual orientation, according to a report in the New York Times.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57057

So does this mean if a jilted homosexual lover kills the other it would still be a hate crime?

So what the judge says is if a homosexual is killed it is automatically a hate crime?

This sounds more like thought control than anything else

people who can afford to goto the doctor and get antibiotic, or those who can't?

If the rate of contact between people who can afford health care, and the people who can't goes down by extending Healthcare access to those who can't afford it, do you think that your chances of getting sick from them would decrease, and reduce your own medical expenses?

Children and adults in families with incomes below or near
the federal poverty level have worse health than those with
higher incomes (see Appendix II, Poverty for a definition of
the federal poverty level). Although, in some cases, illness
can lead to poverty, more often poverty causes poor health
by its connection with inadequate nutrition, substandard
housing, exposure to environmental hazards, unhealthy
lifestyles, and decreased access to and use of health care
services (1).

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2007-08-11-contractors_N.htm
There are now nearly as many private contractors in Iraq as there are U.S. soldiers — and about half of them are private security guards equipped with automatic weapons, body armor, helicopters and bullet-proof trucks.

They operate with little or no supervision, accountable only to the firms employing them. And as the country has plummeted toward anarchy and civil war, this private army has been accused of indiscriminately firing at American and Iraqi troops, and of shooting to death an unknown number of Iraqi citizens who got too close to their heavily armed convoys.

Not one has faced charges or prosecution.

work requires compensation/wages.......offer a high enough wage and people become interested in the job. this is basic knowledge for anyone with a high school diploma. "jobs Americans wont do" is the equivalent of bets people wont make. last time i checked people are more than willing to plunk down $1 at a 1 in a billion chance of making a million dollars........

Americans will work for a wage they feel is fair. period. so we pay more to employ Americans, I would be glad to pay Americans more, not the criminals who ignore our laws.
