Politics - 20 October 2007

It seems to take neo-cons about five years later than everyone else to fully grasp the reality of major situations.

that his offer had strings attached? Did the bush voter realize that by cashing in that $300 check, they were also agreeing to the following terms?:

- their health care costs will double
- gas prices will triple
- education costs will rise by 40%
- the US dollar will be worth less than the Canadian dollar
- $12 billion a month will be put on our great-grandchildren's credit card to pay for bush's war in Iraq
- the national debt will more than double
- a disproportionately large tax break will be given to the very wealthy, thus shifting the burden of paying off the national debt from the billionaires to the middle class

Or are a few people trying to force their views on the rest of the good hard-working American citizens in Massachusetts?

It if passes, you may not like it but at least you had your say so.

But NO! Libs in Massachusetts don't want you to have any voice in it. They want to shove the decision down your throat.

Do you think Emerson's observation applies to America today when any criticism of the Bush Administrations handling of the war or our military leaders bring charges of being unpatriotic?

I see conplaints here about the credibility of peoples sources, then those that complain use the same sources they complain about. Is a source credible only if you believe what they are telling you? Some examples are saying the media is liberal biased,then conservatives use as a source. Conservatives complain about youtube,then use it as a source. There are other examples,but this should be sufficient.

Looking for simple, truthful definitions. Should be self explanatory, one or two sentences in length, and no vulgarity.

Examples:

1. Neo-libs never lose elections, they get stolen by republicans.
2. Neo-libs don't know what they are for, they know what they are against.
3. National Security be damned, as long as it hurts the republicans.

I sincerely hope not. I'd rather have common sense and justice reigning over me than some nut screaming patchwork scriptures.

Is there any reason, whether you believe in the science or not, that teaching our children to conserve resources is wrong? Does it harm anyone to not waste water, to recycle trash, to compost leaves and grass instead of putting it in the landfills, to drive more fuel-efficient cars? Or should we just do whatever we want because we have it available now?

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth.

She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican which she expressed openly. One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich & the addition of more government welfare
programs. Based on the lectures that she had participated in and the occasional chat with a professor she felt that for years her father had obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

The self professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.

" Iran's Top Nuclear Negotiator Resigns ".. . . a current featured story on Yahoo News .
The story in part says . . . . .. . . . Larijani in many cases held a hardline view on the nuclear standoff between Iran and the West but was also considered to be a more moderate figure than Ahmadinejad within Iran's hardline camp. He was seen as more committed to a diplomatic solution over Iran's nuclear program while Ahmadinejad is seen as not favoring talks with the West.

Larijani's resignation was interpreted by many here as giving Ahmadinejad a free hand in dictating his views to the less experienced Jalili.

But here's a link to the entire story that you can read before anyone makes a fool of themselves by thinking Iran has any intention whatsoever of negotiating .

Israel has used its power in the Middle East to exploit others for profit and has attempted to expand its borders and does so by building on land owned by others .

As far as I can tell Israel is a location to keep the Jews locked up in .
No one wanted them anyplace in the world so they were given a crappy piece of land and America will only support them as long as they stay inside their own borders . And a few little border skirmishes promote arms sales and profits for America . Causes tension just when it is needed . Helps the defense department pass billion dollar programs to continue our own military build up . To defend against who i ask . No nation on earth could ever even consider an invasion and this is why we should mind our own business.

We can not stop the actions of an individual or even small groups from secretly cause great harm . So lets listen to them and back out of the Middle east all together and let the chips fall where they will .

Would invade two Islamic countries, dispose of two ruthless dictatorships, liberate 50 Million muslims from Tyranny and to this day track down and kill their terrorists on a massive scale?

Or do you think they thought we would just lob a couple of bombs into Baghdad and forget about it?

Maybe next time they will wait until a Democrat is in office, ya think!
