Politics - 27 December 2007

Apocalyptic Beliefs: The leader's preaching concentrates heavily on the impending end of the world, often at a great battle (e.g. War of Armageddon). In addition (as in the case of the Solar Temple and Heaven's Gate groups) the leader preaches that through group suicide at a particular instant, they will all be transported to a wonderful place and escape the devastation that is about to come to the earth.
The group is expected to play a major, elite role at the end time.

Charismatic Leadership They are led by a single male charismatic leader.
The leader dominates the membership, closely controlling them physically, sexually and emotionally.
Social Encapsulation They are a small religious group, not an established denomination.
The group (or at least the core members) lives together in an intentional community which is isolated from the rest of society. There is often extreme paranoia within the group; they believe that they are in danger and that they are being

Those kids died.

And, Clinton's people used weapons against those kids that were banned by the Geneva convention.

Are Dems proud of that? Is that a Clinton achievement in the Dems' eyes?

I mean you guys... use that argument that the majority of hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Does that imply we should have attacked Saudi Arabia instead?

I know you are all against war and all...so I thought I hold your feet to the fire. Should we have attacked Saudi Arabia?

And please don't use 'We could have used sanctions!'
Because my response would be...'Yeah sanctions...great counter attack for the death of 3000 people'

The average person from the States know nothing about canadians. If you talk to them they say we all live in snow houses, we have a president too when we have a prime minister. And the thing that bugs me most is that they think we are Iraq supporting them, when were not because the UN didnt scantion the war in Iraq.
So why do americans have little respect for knowing the simple things?

It is laughable that these clowns actually think they have any shot of winning over anybody. I am suprised that the extremist liberals are even supporting them. Why don't they understand that they are NEVER going to win the presidency again. Not in 2008, not in 2080! They lost. Opposing Bush and wanting to leave our troops without bullets and food was the last straw with the american people. I give them a 50% chance of being wiped out in 2008 and never coming back. And they think they can actually win? Ha! What fools. I can't wait for them to cry when their candidate, Hitlarly Criminalton gets 25% of the vote in 2008. This is going to be sweet, just one more year!

Ron Paul wants to change our forgein policy and end all of the crazy alliances we make which for the long run compromise our national security. As Ron Paul mentions in his new book, Thomas Jefferson once said:

"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances with none."

Of course all we can go on is their symphonic views of terrorists but the way that all of the democratic candidates for president were so cheerful today seems like a good indicator that they had some kind of hand in the death of Bhutto. Would anyone really be suprised if Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama had something to do with this?

If you want to sit around and complain about Bush all day - how will you explain to your kids that you only "complained" when their rights were being taken away?
