The Chinese will not support us in sanctions against Iran. The Russians are threatening us. The French invest in Iran and many other nations with against whom we have sanctions. Isn't it time to say I am not supporting these countries that use my money against my interests? How many people are willing to take a pledge to not support China, France and Russia whenever possible?

Buy US made products whenever you can.

let me just ask you a two part question.

And I'm going to try to do it carefully, because I don't want to offend the sensitive-sensibilities. Right from the start on this one, I'm not going to give people so much the benefit of the doubt on this one. It's a provocative question, that comes to me with an angry kind of tone to it. So that's reason enough, right from the start, to see if I can sort of pillow-it gently for people. I suppose I aim to provoke response, with the feeeling of the question, but, actually, I don't really want to provoke offended-feelings response. Thats not the kind of answering I'm interesed in.

If you don't like the question or feel too much like "I don't get it" with this one there's no point answering. I need you to just move on to some other question please. Thankyou.

Two part:

1. Has America ever "lost" a war? (Or anything?)

2. Are you (me and you=America) re- ?? [

I'm a Christian, but I've never considered Jesus compatible with cluster bombs. How can these extremes be reconciled?

In Al Gore's first 8 classes in Vanderbilt Divinity School, he received 5 "F"s. He dropped out of Vanderbilt Law School.

Why oh why...Libs...do you put your environmental faith in a man who, at Harvard, got a "D" in "Natural Sciences 6 -Man's Place in Nature?"

Global warming?

Iraq?

The economy?

I may be in the minority, but the economy is still at the top of my list.

Why is loaylty such a bad word, especially among the Left. The United States of America voted for President Bush, he has sacrificed the last 8 years of his life and guided us into two just wars. The rest of the world hate us and him.

Don't we owe him a little loyality for his sacrifice?

We have been so worried about conservative Muslims trying to turn secular nations like Egypt or Turkey into Islamic states. Aren't Christian fundamentalists trying to do the same thing in the United States? If we really believe in keeping religion out of government, shouldn't we be practicing the same thing at home?

And just wait for the economy to collapse?

Or should they have done something 4 years ago when this problem started?


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson called Tuesday for an aggressive response to deal with an unfolding housing crisis that he said presents a significant risk to the economy.

In the administration's most detailed reaction to the steepest housing slump in 16 years, Paulson said that government and the financial industry should provide immediate help for homeowners trying to refinance current mortgages before they reset at much higher rates.

He also called for an overhaul of laws and regulations governing mortgage lending to halt abusive practices that contributed to the current crisis.

the ill conceived notions seem to win out in the political arena, and that when the messes are created from the ill conceived notions that its the very people who were the chief proponents of the failed notions that now claim to know best how to get out of the very messes their ill conceived notions created? Kinda of like "It may look to you like we screwed up, but actually you are wrong...we just need to push the envelope further and you will see that our initial notion which seems to be a failure to you right now was right all along. Trust us, even though it seems what we say does the opposite of what we say it will, we just need to keep it up. You will see". Anyone else feel that way?

...I mean, come on! I'm no fan of Giuliani, but at least he's steadfast in his left-leaning positions on social issues while remaining staunch in his support for the war on terror. I think with Giuliani, Huckabee, Thompson, and Paul, what you see is mostly what you're going to get.

But, Romney is a hunter? Maybe twice in his life. Socially conservative? Come on, what is this pandering he's now doing to the "Christian right"? I mean, other than the fact that he's obviously trying to get votes, his support of abortion privileges and gay rights throughout the years have been strongly publicized in the media. Then, he just flip-flops and suddenly believes "abortion is wrong." I guess Massachusetts is really good at electing flip-flops: Kerry, Kennedy, Romney, etc. (No offense to any good people in MA.)

Any of our Republican pool of candidates would make a better President than Hillary or Obama; my support is with Fred Thompson.

I believe the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 is a political movie based off of nothing but lies because film maker Michael Moore is a Big Fat Liar who Hates The Truth.

Which is more difficult?
Planting some VX gas (hundreds of gallons are being destroyed at Umatilla Army Depot) in Iraq for us to find during the invasion. Or the controlled demolition of 2 skyscrapers and a 3rd building?
I know theres more to the 9/11 story than we are told but the bigger conspiracy theories are simply too complex.

With all the good news from Iraq, are the democrats trying to subvert American victory? Is trashing Turkey for something that happened 100 years ago worth it if it destablizes Iraq?

His power bill says he consumes 20 times the energy of an average person:
http://www.tennesseepolicy.org/main/article.php?article_id=367

20 times the average power usage is an awful lot, even if he does work from home. Maybe he should whittle this down to a mere 10 or even 5 times the energy of common folks before he takes a Victory Lap by jumbojetting across the globe for his Nobel Prize ?
