the following is copied from: http://www.reason.com/news/show/120941.html

The Nazis themselves regarded the left-right convergence as integral to understanding fascism. Adolf Eichmann viewed National Socialism and communism as “quasi-siblings,” explaining in his memoirs that he “inclined towards the left and emphasized socialist aspects every bit as much as nationalist ones.” As late as 1944, Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels publicly celebrated “our socialism,” reminding his war-weary subjects that Germany “alone [has] the best social welfare measures.” Contrast this, he advised, with the Jews, who were the very “incarnation of capitalism.”

Why isn't the historical connection between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Capitalism more widely recognized?

As every non corrupted mind knows, Social security will be just fine if just left alone. If you beg to differ, please read these articles and then tell me you have not been fed a lie from politicians.

Liberals favor government action to promote equality, whereas conservatives favor government action to promote order.
Libertarians favor freedom and oppose government action to promote either equality or order. They do not believe in taxes, but except the fact that a minimum is acceptable.
They believe in a very small government.
They do not believe in intervention with any external governments.

Libertarianism, political philosophy emphasizing the rights of the individual. The doctrine of libertarianism stresses the right to self-ownership and, by extension, the right to private ownership of material resources and property. Advocates oppose any form of taxation and favor a laissez-faire economic system.
Basically they are more conservative than the conservatives even claim to be.
Much to conservative for me.
But much better than what we got.
Go look and learn what is real. before you are ready to fight for what you do not understand.

Why do these people vote republican, Is it because their parents did, there can’t be much thought?

Give me a good reason to think like a conservative. The conservatives began a war that has no other agenda than to have an American military base near the supply of oil. The war in the mid east started in Texas. They spend the tax payers money to pay for the war. When the situation gets to be bad enough they get out of the way and hide so that the democrats must be the ones to raise the taxes that pay for the republican’s wars. Bend over my southern conservative friends and let the real conservatives give you what you deserve. Wars cost a lot more than Medicaid. You have been raped and you didn’t even feel it YET.

Personally, I like Obama and I'd vote for him. But I think we underestimate the amount of racist and prejudice people out there.

Do you think Obama stands a chance with the unfortunate last name? His race?

from centuries ago....Should we EVER expect any sort of peace in the Middle East? Will Persians and Muslims ever live in harmony? Will Israelis and Palestinians ever walk side by side? WILL THE MIDDLE EAST ALWAYS BE DIVIDED BY RELIGION? AND IF SO, WHAT CAN BE DONE DIPLOMATICALLY to restore this world to a peaceful state?

The past 25 years have been the best stock market for investors in U.S. history. The Dow Jones industrial average hit bottom on Aug. 12, 1982, at 776.9, while interest rates were at 15 percent. Since that date, the compounded rate of return from the last quarter of 1982 until this summer, circa 2007, has been 11.8 percent. Taking into account inflation, the rate of return has been 8.5 percent!!!

Thiswas the result of policy decisions in the 1980s, 90s and more recently - confirming the fact that lower tax rates on capital and labor, sound monetary policies, with open market initiatives and liberalized trade leads to stronger economic growth and rising values in equities.

When Ronald Reagan took office the top tax rate was 70 percent and the capital gains rate was near 50 percent. The soft money policies of the Carter administration had left us with rising unemployment and inflation rate of 16 percent(i.e. stagflation.) (Carter is the worst Prez Ever!)

When Pythagoras said the earth was round, he was slandered by the greeks and the early christian church. They said that god made the earth flat.

When Nicolaus Copernicus said the sun was the center of the universe, not the earth, he was called crazy by the Church. They said god made earth the divine center of the universe.

When Galileo published and proved Copernicus' theory, the vatican burned his work, threatened him with death, and put him in prison. They said he was wrong and that he was condemned by god.

When modern day scientist proved that the earth was much much older than the church had taught. They were told that they were wrong.

The christians have constantly over time pushed away fact and science and then accepted them by changing their bible and the teachings of their god.

Wouldn't if be safe to assume that political choices should never be made by religious belief since religious belief seems to be nothing more then a blind following? That they should be made with freedom of choice and morals considered. So, wouldn't it make sense to vote for someone (religious or not) who makes decisions on what's best for the people and not the religion? In that sense, it rules out all presidential candidates except for Ron Paul (who is very religious, he just doesn't base vote off of it) and some democrats. So, it seems that the most intellegent choice for president (when it comes to whats right for the people) is outlined. I guess the bottom line is, if you're religious, don't base your vote on your religion. Base it on what is best for the country in a whole (consider poor, rich, different creed, sex, color, origins). As a patriot, who would you vote for? Selfishly for yourself, or for the well being of all citizens?

Here is a descent hard working god fearing Christian that deserves your respect. This man served his country flying jets in the National Guard until his HONORABLE discharge. He earned a Harvard MBA! No Terror ATTACKS on USA soil since 9/11 - He is keeping us safe!

Just an all around great guy who has brought Honor and Dignity back to the White House after those awful Clinton years.

You have to admit LIBS. It's kind of nice having a President who does not spend all his time in front of special prosecutors, Grand Juries and Impeachment Hearings! My family was ebarrassed that Clinton soiled the office like that. Now, we look at Bush with pride!
