Politics - 15 November 2007

Upbringing ?, Intelligence ?, something in the water? Or is this the natural course of events for a free society to "test" itself against domestic dissent

I call you my friends because 1/2 my friends are liberal thinkers. I find people with different points of view far more interesting. Unlike this forum, my personal relationships are truly real and are based on mutual respect for each other & I think you would agree we treat each better in person.

with that said, here is my question:

Nearly all of my liberal friends HATE the government involvement in our personal lives..NOT in our bedrooms, NOT in our religious beliefs. They have faught for and demand a strong fence between themselves and government. I'm sure most of you would agree, liberals have taken the lead in civil rights, social issues etc.

My question is, why then would so many (not all) be so willing to allow government into our most private area of our lives, our health-care. Why are you so willing to allow government to keep records of our health.

That's my question, and I hope you don't think (as many are) this is some baited question..it's not!

thanks !

You dastardly Republicans have committed grave crimes against Father Gore and Mother Gaia. How dare an elected official such as Pardue publicly 'pray' for anything. Gore shall provide sustenance; all one must do is Believe!!


Will you follow Him?

Apes should have 95% of the rights that humans have, correct? And mice should have 90% of the rights humans have, correct?

The issue has been MADE political, with all the discussions of evolution and/or intelligent design being taught in schools, for example. Isn't this justification enough for questions on eveolution to be placed in the Politics category?

Santa can no longer say ho, ho, ho in Australia because it can be considered offensive to women. GIVE ME A BREAK!! LEAVE CHRISTMAS ALONE!!! Like Santa Clause is such a sexist pig, he calls women ho's, not once, but three consecutive times.

Which party do you suppose supports this nonsense?

Seems people who like Bush do not like Clinton .
How about the truth is that both of them are wrong .

That selling out American jobs and creating massive debts is whats wrong .

That illegals really do not belong here regardless of how much help they are in the service industry .

That unless we begin to solve problems using modern solutions and new Ideas we will continue to repeat the past .

I know that what has happened in the past has been a miserable failure .

That the policies of this government has lead to oppression , war , and the deaths of millions of people and that was just during our own Civil War .
That Sherman's march through the south resulted in communities of people being burned out and women raped and young and old men shot and killed where they stood unarmed .

If we as a people resort to violence to solve our problems then nothing is ever going to change .

Blaming the democrats or republicans for any war misses the point entirely .

War is irrational .

I hear the defense of Bush that he "got an MBA from an Ivy League school." Does graduating mean he learned anything?

Anybody know the phrase "C's get degrees"

What were his undergradue and graduate school GPA's?

While you're paying taxes, illegals are happy to work for lower wages since they don't bother to pay/file taxes.

Is it great that Dems support illegals while you pay taxes?

.... have taken lots of jobs.

What is your view?

Is there something scientifically "defective" with genes in America? Why do so many Americans have a hard time getting decent jobs while Hillary's illegals are doing just fine?

... the benefits --- Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, Free Education.

That is why Hillary didn't immediately say "no licenses for illegals."

Right?

The politically correct police have informed Santa Claus that he will no longer be able to go "Ho ho ho" during the Christmas season. Ho ho ho, they informed him, might be offensive to some women in this country.
While in America, Santa must use the phrase "Ha ha ha" instead. Do you think Santa will comply, or tell the PC police to stuff it?

The surge is working, and having a very positive effect. Also, on another note… Here is a very interesting statistic… during the past 6 years BEFORE the Iraq war, PEACE time military deaths totaled around 4,980; during war time ( last 6 years ) the number of deaths is less than 4,000 U.S. soldiers, 8,000 deaths from drunk driving, 1,500 drug/gang related deaths… I am not promoting the war. My point is the where is the outcry for domestic homicides which are far greater and yet seem to be acceptable, at least the silence would seem to make it so. Here is another example of how repugnant political correctness has evolved…

due to modern technology (television, computer analysis, internet ect) candidates no longer rely on political parties as they did in the past. Is it valid to say that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of political parties as a mainstay in american politics?

The US is the only nation to have ever used nuclear weapons. In its terrorist attack on Hiroshima it murdered thousands of men, women and children Yet now it tells us WMD are bad. Do you believe this is hypocrisy.
