On what basis does he say this? I have a College degree in U.S. History and I disagree with him. I don't understand where he is coming from. To me if the president asks for verification and the Congress votes yes, isn't he good to go? Help me out.

I know that some people belief that Creationism should be taught in public schools, as opposed, or in conjunction with the scientific theory of evolution. Does Huckabee think this as well? If so, has he made any logical arguments for this stance?

...back in 2002? Fox News didn't offer him one. It is also obvious that he is on the extreme fare right (just look at his videos on YouTube).
MSNBC also gave Scarborough a TV show, and he is a former republican member of the House of Representatives. This proves they are the fair and balanced network.

Has Fox News ever given an entire block of programming time to someone from the Left? I wonder why that is....

What I am getting at is this: If you feel that certain Americans are supporting what you call communist or socialist policies, if those people are in the majority and democratically elect leaders with similar views will you continue to sing the praises of democracy?

Or will you take a view more like Henry Kissinger when he said this: "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people. The issues are much too important for ....voters to be left to decide for themselves." What action would you advocate?

Looking for mature answers from either side of the fence.

This is the first scenario: Say, that Iraq was just as powerful a country as the US but Islamic extremists still resided there and it was a dictatorship under the rule of Saddam Hussein. Say some crazy British extremists went into Iraq and killed millions of Iraqis. Iraq invades Britain. Then, since we, the US have nuclear weapons and different values Iraq invaded our country. Does Iraq invading the U.S. make sense?
Second scenario: Using the same set up where Iraq and the U.S. are equal powers and Iraq is a dictatorship, say a few crazy American extremists go into Iraq and kill millions of people. Iraq wages war on the U.S., killing loved ones, bombing our cities and houses . Food is scarce, water and electricity are shut down. If you were in this situation, wouldn't you fight back? Wouldn't you be angry even if you lived in a bad neighborhood and your life was like a war already? We call angry Iraqis terrorists, but they are just trying to protect themselves?

Just another viewpoint

Is it a good or a bad thing in you eyes. I see it as a bad thing because a country should worry about itself and it's own problems and not try to control other country's affairs.

I have a hard time seeing how people can be so fervently against Israel on that issue. The Palestinians are given statehood on a platter, but they would use a suicide vest to blow up the person holding it. Don't they understand that they will never destroy Israel?

For those who say that the ones who want to blow up Israel and commit terrorism are the minority, why did the vast majority of Palestinians vote for Hamas?

If you don't know what they are, is a certificate by which parents are given the ability to pay for the education of their children at a school of their choice, rather than the public school to which they were assigned. Since all students by federal law are guaranteed FAPE (Free access to public education), it would be more of a structural change in our education then one that requires a significant amount of capital (except during a transition).

I don't want to know if you have a better idea, I simply want to know your views and logic for or against this idea.

He just sent me an email, it read:

"Dear Friend,

The truth is it took years to drive our country so far off track and it will take a lot of hard work and determination to get it back on track.

And while it's tempting to lay all of the blame at the feet of George W. Bush, the fact is that he couldn't have done it without the support of the Republican Congress that did so much damage while they were in the majority.

To make lasting change, we need both a Democrat in the White House as well as a strong Democratic Majority in Congress.

2008 is going to be a campaign season like no other. Democrats' FEC end-of-year fundraising reports will be carefully scrutinized to frame the 2008 landscape. That includes reporters and pundits trying to gauge Democratic strength and momentum as 2008 begins. If you contribute to the Democratic Year-End Challenge, House Democrats will match and double your gift towards our drive for a New Direction."

Should I donate money even if I can't afford to?

I am conservative in some of my views, esepecially when it comes to the economy. But I don't understand why that would equate into also supporting a government that has some questionable attitudes to human rights and seems to want to bring religion into public policies.

I accept evolution and support stem cell research for example.

I don't understand the connection between being fiscally conservative equates into wanting a minister for a president or wanting something like sexual discrimination not considered wrong.
