Politics - 17 November 2007

We are approaching a $1 trillion annual trade deficit, most of it with Asia, $220 billion with just China -- just last year.

the shrinkage of the dollar does matter to a country that perchases most of their commodities overseas...

It's illegal to discriminate based on gender, nationality, race, age and in some places sexual orientation.

It's bad to taste to insult people based on any of these attributes as well.

But insulting and smearing, slandering people with different political ideology is prime time entertainment these days.

Is discrimination based on ideology far behind? Is it already happening?

The Nazi's were digusting bigoted slime who slaughtered 9 million people and the German people let them do it because they believed the foolish propaganda that the Jews "subhuman". The libigots have told us the same thing, that unborn children are "subhuman" and the result is the slaughter of 50 Million people right in our own back yard! End age descrimination! Just say no to abortion!

If she is not qualified for the position, fine. But to bring up a Halloween costume is just stupid.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The city that's home to Harvard and MIT solidified its nickname as "The People's Republic of Cambridge" when it put a stop to a Boy Scout troop's Election Day drive to collect care packages for American soldiers in Iraq, claiming it was "political."

“We just wanted to make a lot of troops happy,” Scout Patrick O’Connor told the Boston Herald.

The big-hearted Scouts from Cambridge Troop 45 had placed donation boxes at the city's 33 polling stations in hopes of collecting toiletries, magazines, candy and other items after one of O'Connor's relatives was injured in an IED explosion while serving in Iraq.

But someone complained to the city, allegedly claiming the boxes were a “political statement,” and the boxes were removed.

“I was devastated that someone would think to take (the donation boxes) out,” O'Connor told the newspaper.

“This was not about supporting the war or any politician or political view," troop committee chairman Jamisean Patterson told the Herald. "This was supporting the brave men and women who are stationed overseas.”

Patterson said the Scouts obtained a verbal OK from the city election commission and polling station officials.

Cambridge Vice Mayor Timothy J. Toomey Jr. told the Herald that a breakdown in communication, rather than malice, led to the boxes being removed.

“Boy Scouts Troop 45’s efforts to support our troops are a benefit for the entire community, and the council will be working with them to ensure that their goals are fully realized,” he said in a written statement.

Always blaming the other side, while never taking responsibility or looking for solutions.

What happens when both Democratic party and republican parties are corrupt?

Then we have to drill in Anwar and off shore plus build some more refineries.

We don't have a good alternative yet.

should the liberal "pull out" half way through the fight because beating back an intruder is un-justified......after all violence does not solve anything right.

should the liberal try and understand that the intruder is just a poor and desperate individual who needs help, would the liberal then tell the burgler to go the rich neighbors house and try to take what is rightfully his.

Nuts say that the USA supported Usama Bin Laden in the fight against the Soviet Union. So why did UBL and the Taliban and Al Qaeda spend 10 years fighting against the Afghan Mujihadeen? If they are the same group, why was there a 10 year bloody war inside Afghanistan during the 1990s?

Will history report the eight year Bush reign as "The Dark Ages in American History"?
War based on false data, Abu Ghraib, rendition, Supreme Court appointed president, appointing inept but loyal followers (loyal to a fault), Abramoff, outing a covert CIA agent, FEMA/New Orleans, dark ages religious/superstitious beliefs,...the list goes on but my head hurts.

The same people who say Bush did not do enough to prevent 9/11 (ignoring that the 9/11 attacks developed while Clinton was President for 8 years) DO NOT WANT BUSH TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP TERRORISM.

What do you think the USA SHOULD do to stop terrorism?

On the one hand I have heard the arguement that empire and small goverment are incompatible therefore isolationism is the only logical foreign policy for libertarians. On the other hand if you take a look at isolationist/neutral Switzerland they jail people who won't do the national service which they feel is essential to their neutralism. That doesn't seem very libertarian to me.

Therefore couldn't the case be made that internationalism is the most logical foriegn policy choice for libertarians as good allies/international cooperation will make for the lowest national defense burden and thus enable small goverment?
