An affair is one thing though it's a bit weird to see Republicans embrace a guy who acts like that after the whole Clinton witch hunt but abusing tax payers money to accomodate your imorality? Doesn't America deserve better?

I mean historically there never has been a particulary effective communist country. China is communist politcially but has a more western econmy, north korea isn't communist but nationalist and Russia was oppressed to stay communist.

even if those view differ from yours? or would you rather live in a country where everyone falls in line and follows and believes what the government says,and if they do have doubts keep it to themselves...for the sake of putting up a a solid united front? Given a choice between those two situations only (no other), which do you think serves the nation better in the long run and is healthier for freedom?

that we should befriend more Arab countries even if it means turning our back on Israel. Somebody who heard it also said Bush said that he would not be seen holding a Jews hand.

This is a serious question.

American exceptionalism has been historically referred to as the belief that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations, because of its national credo, historical evolution, or distinctive political and religious institutions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism

Instead of whining about how the US is the best, why don't they emulate us and thereby improve their own country? No one told them to embrace inferior systems of government and economics....that was entirely THEIR CHOICE! It's not like there's any huge secret how we do it

The recipe for Greatness is there for anyone to read. It's called the US Constitution:

I admit, for a while I was a bit befuddled as to how so many people hate Hillary Clinton for being completely contradictory things. Some people hate her because she is a communist/socialists while others hate her because she in bed with corporations. Some people hate her because she's pro-war while others hate her for being anti-military. Some people think she staged a hostage crisis while others think that's absurd. Some think she's too emotional to be president while others feel she is a cold fish, and the list goes on.

I then remember reading something about a trickster god Eshu and ones of his tricks he played on a village, and it occured to me that that is the solution. Hillary must be some sort of trickster goddess to be able to fool so many people into believing opposite things about her. Maybe her goal isn't necessarily to become president, but only to cause as much strife as possible. What does everyone else think?

Below is a description of Eshu's trick from Wikipedia:

Here is a good one, but not very complete

"Most neoconservative defense intellectuals have their roots on the left, not the right. They are products of the influential Jewish-American sector of the Trotskyist movement of the 1930s and 1940s, which morphed into anti-communist liberalism between the 1950s and 1970s and finally into a kind of militaristic and imperial right with no precedents in American culture or political history. Their admiration for the Israeli Likud party's tactics, including preventive warfare such as Israel's 1981 raid on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor, is mixed with odd bursts of ideological enthusiasm for "democracy." They call their revolutionary ideology "Wilsonianism" (after President Woodrow Wilson), but it is really Trotsky's theory of the permanent revolution mingled with the far-right Likud strain of Zionism. Genuine American Wilsonians believe in self-determination for people such as the Palestinians. "

Currently a man is under arrest because his ex girlfriend was pregnant and he wanted an abortion but she refused to have it. The man began putting the abortion pill into her food and drinks causing her to abort. Is it not his right to decide if his "clump of cells" matasticises.

So should he be convicted

Look at the signers of the PNAC doctrine, It's all Bush family members and friends.

The PNAC doctrine calls for a one party majority no different than Hitler's "Master Race" or the KKK's "White Supremacy"
