He is a fool. He told me "Nothing in life is worth dying for." To which I replied, in the words of Ronald Reagan, "If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin? Just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the Pharaoh's? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the Patriots at Concorde bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools. And our honored dead, who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis, didn't die in vain." My question is, do you believe that there are things in life worth dying for?

and impune his fine reputation and record?

They blame him for high gas prices, for budget deficits and trade deficits, for illegal aliens, and for tainted toys, they even blame him for a hurricane wiping out new orleans. They blame him for high drop out rates in schools and also for poor school districts falling behind in academics. They blame him for high cost of health care and for the islamo fascist hatred of the USA, etc...

What is wrong with these people?

I'm not talking about the standard fodder or really wide known stuff...

What is the most bizarre conspiracy you've had relayed to you?

I think one of the funniest ones was "Hillary stole White House Furniture".

It's funny if you know the roots of that story when it was being told about the first few Black diplomats who stayed at the White House... the conservatives used to say they stole the dinnerware... People still fall for it!

There has been a premise in politics over the decades that Americans have had a limited amount of money to spend. That no longer is true. In recent days, we have learned that the US has spent more on this Iraq/Afgan war than on anything ever before, and we are not being asked to raise taxes. The dollar is at an all time low against other currencies but it doesn't seem to hurt the US economy. Interest rates are not going up. There is actually deflation in prices (homes), rather than inflation (except for gasoline, due to overseas inflation). Unemployment is low and steady. This extreme spending without consequese demonstrates there is really no need to make a choice on what to spend the money on, since we can apparantly afford both guns and butter. What are your thoughts?

Here are the draft plans for the George W. Bush Library:
The Alberto Gonzales Room - Where you can't remember any of the exhibits.

The Hurricane Katrina Room - It's still under construction.

The Texas Air National Guard Room - Where you don't have to even go.

The Walter Reed Hospital Room - Where they don't let you in.

The Guantanamo Bay Room - Where they don't let you out.

The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room - Nobody has been able to find it.

The War in Iraq Room - After you complete your first tour, they can force you to go back for your second and third and fourth and fifth tours.

The K-Street Project Gift Shop - Where you can buy an election, or, if no one cares, steal one.

The Men's Room - Where you might meet a Republican Senator (or two).

The books so far are the rare two books that Bush has actually read, and somewhat understands:
"My Pet Goat" and "Coloring for Dummies."

the USA is the only country in the world that doesnt have Universal Health Care and we are one of the unhealthiest nations on earth. Life span in Canada is 80. life span in Europe is higher.

Universal Health care countries even give preventative treatments and care.

People will pay for this with higher taxes.


60 Million Americans Currently UNINSURED!

Republicans even fought a Bill that would cover Children. ( Not a Joke . This really happened)

Universal healthcare is excellent in Canada and Europe. I have friends that live in both countries and they say they LOVE the Services the NHS ( National Health Servies) Provides.

Why cant we as Americans see the benefits of this amazing life saving program.

Republicans dont realize even the private insurance compaines rip you off all the time. They sometimes wont pay benefits for life saving treatments. ITS ALL FOR ((( PROFIT ))

a mortgage they cannot afford?

They signed the contract.
They had a chance to read the terms.
They had an obligation to know that they could not afford the home when the payment ballooned.

What about all the people who made good decisions? Why should the ones get rewarded for making a bad decision?

I see the government getting its nose in this financial problem.

He was warned Bin Laden was determined to strike inside the US a month before 911.
The FBI had the 20th hijacker Moussaoui in custody for weeks before 911 and requested FISA warrants repeatedly in the weeks before 911.
Why did FBI HQ deny those requests if Bush was doing his best to protect the nation?
