Politics - 11 December 2007

Consider that the use charged a Japanese Officer Yukio Asano in 1947 of "War Crimes" for waterboarding a US civilian to obtain information. He recieved 15 years of hard labor.

How can we do it to others?

I think, Bush and anyone in his administration who advocates Waterboarding, should prove that it is not torture by being Waterboarded for a few hours.

Just on a side note:
Everywhere I have looked up Waterboarding, says it is a form of torture.

Like In Iraq

Since more women and children have died in Iraq than any other demographic. Is it safe to assume they lost in the war against Women and Children

I think Haliburton and Blackwater are two fantastic and exceptional patriotic American corporations. However, both of these enterprises seem to attract more than their fair share of negative comments from lefwingers.

I also happen to hold stock in several blue chips, which may or may not include Haliburton and/or Blackwater. But suppose they were included...what then? Would you condemn me for it?

Would that cement your already negative opinion about me?

If you were president, where would you stand on: Gun Control, Abortion, illegal immigration, terrorism, the environment, and the economy. And why do you stand by what you say?

It seems like somehow they blamed Bush's 2003 attack of Iraq on the Democratic Congress that took charge 4 years later in 2007

This would be a stretch even for Doctor Who.

If it meant saving their lives?

Yes, I know it is a controversial question...but it is designed to make you think about what you really believe.

Look...I can understand that people don't like waterboarding...but at the same time I have hard time appreciating their point of view when they refuse to accept and avoid certain consequences...especially when they don't want to put themselves as the person responsible for securing lives. They avoid it...because it forces them to look really deep inside themselves and are afraid what they might find out.

IF YOU HATE WATERBOARDING...then please write in quotations in your response...
"You will not authorize waterboarding even if it means the loss of innocent lives"
I would like for once...someone who doesn't agree with waterboarding to accept that and stop pretending to be all goody-goody. If you are willing to accept that...then I will have respect for your views.

I thinking because the more Minorities we have it the political system, the more our Government seems to be corrupt, now before you think I'm raciest or something like that.
Look at most African countries where people are being killed for no reason.
Or just look at Mexico.
That country is run by organized crime, don't you dare think it's not!
I've been there, some places are nice, but I would never want to live there.
Now I’m just basing my question on their countries, what do you think?

A lot of answers about Bush seem to be

"Well Clinton did/said or didn't do/say "

How is that

A ) and answer to any question about Bush

B ) Any sort of justification for praise or scorn concerning Bush's actions or lack thereof

---------

Either the issue is important and therefore needs either an opinion on the issue offered or

It is all about measureing in degree's of bad and evil - To me that is not an acceptable answer - Only a diversion from the question or issue raised about a sitting President

--------

Hey I am getting hit with a stick here

Shut up if it was Clinton it would have been a Buick hitting you right now

How is that reasoning ?

From 'Christianity Today':

"...in 2001, the group (ACLU) interceded with a school district in Michigan that had deleted a high school senior's yearbook entry because she included a Bible verse. In 2002, the ACLU filed a brief on behalf of a pastor associated with Operation Rescue who was prevented from participating in a parade because his pro-life poster showed a photograph of an aborted baby. And last September, the organization joined a lawsuit on behalf of a New Jersey second-grader who was not allowed to sing "Awesome God" in a school talent show."
