Politics - 8 December 2007

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Dwight D. Eisenhower in a speech from 1953

Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner.

If elected president would he work on Sunday? I know its frowned upon in the Mormon religion to work on Sunday or at least thats my perception. Is thats the case, how would he be able to fulfill his duties as President, becuase I know being the President is a 7 day a week job.

The way I understand it conservatives support minimizing the government's level of power and control over people. Isn't getting involved in military skirmishes all over the world just a government exerting more control? Policing the world seems like big government, not small.

Then again, banning abortion would be another form of government control. I'm so confused.

What an interesting election choice for our American Allies.

http://www.mormonbeliefs.org/

Mitt Romney promises to defend religious freedom. QUOTE "If I am fortunate to become your president, I will serve no one religion, no one group, no one cause, and no one interest," he said. "A president must serve only the common cause of the people of the United States."

Yet... QUOTE "Mormons believe that Joseph Smith restored the true church on the earth."

Hmmm "Mr Romney stressed that, like Kennedy, he was "an American running for president" who would not define his candidacy by religion."

Allegedly, " Mr Romney resisted making this speech for some time, but he has now made his pitch by claiming, in essence, that Americans need not feel uncomfortable. "

Can YOU put YOUR faith in Mitt Romney to be the next President of the United States?

According to his website:
"Imagine.. the mainstream media is mesmerized as the image of the Ron Paul blimp is shown to tens of millions of Americans"

Airships have always generated great public excitement....sometimes in a negative manner. It seems to me that this fake Republican's presidental campaign is headed towards Disaster, much the same as another famous dirigible:

How can we improve the lives of the masses

How can we ensure basic needs of all in our society

How do we end economic classisim ?

Who watches the watchers

If these are concerns and questions of the socialist am I to take from it that the ultra capitolists or pure capitolists

Do not care about the masses that is not my problem

The basic needs of others - someone elses problem just starve quietly if you must

And the rich need slaves desperate to trade labour for subsitance so why end economic classisim - It'sgreat for at least 10 - 15 % of the population

The US debt is staggering

The US dollar is falling

IInvestors are running

Oil is going up and there is more talk about the US dollar being dumped as the petro dollar in favour of the more stable and less debt ridden Euro

The US has made enemies in the oil producer/export market -

Troops are stretched thin in an endless unpopular war that is costing friends and money

How much longer will the US be able to borrow against the interest payments for war ?
