Just as the Fourth of July is an important day to celebrate the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world, Columbus Day celebrates the lifting of this hemisphere out of Stone Age barbarism by the spread of Western Civilization.

Do you believe that globalization (the increased integration or increased “connectedness” of the world) will lead to more democracy or less democracy, more peace or more war, greater wealth for greater numbers or increasing poverty and inequality? Do your answers suggest a view of the world that is closer to realism, liberalism, or Marxism/Leninism? Explain.

Those of you who claim that the money will go for the support of the child are living in a fantasy world. I believe it will go more toward supporting alcohol and drug addiction. The children will become foster children. It is child abuse to have a child you cannot support.

The guy never made it past boot. He claimed to have fought in Iraq but never made it past 40 days.

Why do liberals twist Limbaughs words to blanket the entire military?

FAMOUS QUOTES FROM COMRADE HILLARY:

(1) "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

(2) "It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."

(3) "(We) can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

(4) "We have to build a political consensus, and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground."

(5) "I certainly think the free-market has failed."

(6) "I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in (the) entire economy - that they are being watched."


You could imagine that these pearls of socialist/Marxist wisdom from Karl Marx, but these are from none other than our very own home-grown Marxist. . . .

On Torture and American Values
The New York Times | Editorial

Sunday 07 October 2007

Once upon a time, it was the United States that urged all nations to obey the letter and the spirit of international treaties and protect human rights and liberties. American leaders denounced secret prisons where people were held without charges, tortured and killed. And the people in much of the world, if not their governments, respected the United States for its values.

The Bush administration has dishonored that history and squandered that respect. As an article on this newspaper’s front page last week laid out in disturbing detail, President Bush and his aides have not only condoned torture and abuse at secret prisons, but they have conducted a systematic campaign to mislead Congress, the American people and the world about those policies.

The next president will owe a debt of gratitude to Bush, because no matter how much he screws up he will still be better than what we have now.

The further America becomes divided on it's policy to Arab nations will only worsen it's resolve to bring peace to this conflict.We need a leader with enough vision to unite all Americans to work together.The current policy is only fueling the hatred and creating new suicide bombers everyday.I hope Mrs. Clinton has what it takes.do you agree?

The way I look at it, why should so many poor children be without health care considering so many people getting abortions? Maybe we could do a trade-off. You let us stop the genocide (or infanticide) by banning abortion and we will let you give universal health care to children under 16 yrs old? Deal?

I mean, the cost of the war is always the standard anymore. All politicians who oppose the war, yet claim to support the troops are constantly saying we spend too much in Iraq. How is it that complaining about the cost of operations is equal to supporting the troops?
