Politics - 12 October 2007

...that 12 year old boy who spoke out about President Bush's veto of the SChip program was first condemned by the conservative extremists and he is now receiving death-threats! Are we so politically-biased in this country that we have to attack children for speaking their minds?

They don't know how to turn off their hostility even for a brief moment.

For me, I'd say:

Best: The forming of the United States Constitution in 1776. It is the longest living documentation of government, and it's the reason why America is here today.

Worst: The American Civil War. Though it redefined our nation and partially led us to the 50 United States, the losses and the history behind it is extremely sad. State against state. City against city. Brother against brother.

These are just my thoughts. What about yours? Please do NOT have answers that come on the year 2000 - present. A lot of people would say the "War on Terror, 9/11, Bush Administration, etc, etc" for worst events.

I don't want a "political" war and a debate. Just friendly interaction and opinions on history that occurred from 1999 - past.

your mind? Is it the America of high ideals, fairness, equality? Or is greed taking over America? How many items from China do we import? Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Mexico, Honduras? Japan and Korea, soon to be joined by China, all but kicking the crap out of Detroit and the auto industry. Jobs going overseas for more profit, imports and illegals flooding the country driving wages down and the cost to our social system up. At least half of the ingredients used to make our medicine is imported from China, with absolutely no quality control, yet investors love the profit. Our meat? Who knows, less then one percent inspected. IRS reports middle income folks, income down two percent over the last two years. The top one percent made twenty one percent of the money in this country. I wonder what the top ten percent totals? In all its greatness, are you satisfied or dissappointed with today's America?

This event was a symbol of the poor response to terrorism at the hands of the Clinton administration and a foreshadowing of the 9/11 attacks.

"Read the Constitution".

Yes, it would be nice if someone in Washington would read the Constitution, and remember that only Congress can declare war. Congress doesn't "approve" the President's wishes. The President executes Congress's wishes.

like the "liberals are socialists" "liberals hate america" "liberals enjoy it when they hear about a soldier's death" etc.

do they actually believe those things, or is it just propaganda?

because i'm a liberal, so naturally i know more about what i believe than someone else. just because some conservative tells me i believe ___, doesn't mean i actually do.
what i'm getting at here, is if they really believe those things, do you think that says a lot about their character and education?

… declare they want to establish worldwide caliphate.


Liberals led the charge in ignoring Hitler; they scoffed at him as they now scoff at the ability of the Islamists to succeed in their vision or more accurately, the vision of Mohammad. Liberals are now leading the charge at scoffing at the ability of the Islamists.

Everyone said Hitler didn’t have the military forces to fulfill his desires. They were a little off there weren’t they?

Radicals are gaining positions of power in Egypt, Turkey and elsewhere. They already have Iran and they want Afghanistan back. We might just give them Iraq.

What is it going to take to wake people up? You would have thought the effects of 9/11 would have lasted a little longer. I for one have not forgotten and I for one understand that OBL is just a small fish in the big lake of fanatics.

Do you remember the 1 or 2 people in the streets cheering when the towers went down?

I don't know about you, but I'm not for goverenment intrusion on my right to eat something with high saturated fats.

Personally, I'm not a junk food eater.

Every once in a while though I spoil and eat something with high fat and grease, etc.

What's your opinion on this issue?

Do you want the government intruding on your right to eat some kind of foods with hydrogenated oils at a restaurant?

I think it's the responsibility of the person to control what he or she eats.

We don't need big Brother to help run our lives.

This is also another example of socialism. (Which is very bad for America)

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

How ugly will this election get, especially after the nominations?

I think it's going to be the most divisive and hard fought election we've seen in our lifetimes. More so if it's say, Hillary and Rudy, but even barring both of them, it's going to be a dilly. What are your thoughts on this? Do you welcome such an election or does it make you feel tired just thinking about it?

I'm sure tiny bits of progress has been made but nothing drastic, Zarkawi and Sadamm are dead, but dozens of more terrorist leaders have sprung up since. Why did VP Cheney say this comment knowing that it was nothing but an empty promise. I want the pro-war crowd to tell me what kind of progress has been made in which it make us seem like the insurgency may be in its last throes today. We know its not and if anything in 2005 the insrugency was just starting up and today another sovereign state (Turkey) is in direct danger because of this so-called "fatigued" insurgency.
