. Thats why voters should be allowed to vote on it. our democracy is NOT all about voting. (i'm sure that statement will get twisted) especially when it comes to a minority opinion. the courts specifically protect minority rights. if the states would have been allowed to vote on civil rights ruligns in the south back in the 50's and 60's, do ya think they would have passed? hell no. the courts were the only course for the minority to achieve their rig

I do think we need to go after Americans that hire illegal immigrants here long before we try to build a fence yes we do. as long as the job pool exists, illegal immigration will continue. we seriously underestimate what someone will do to survive and take care of their own. like america is addicted to oil. illegal aliens are addicted to our jobs.

I'd sure like to see his film on socialized healthcare and it's failures. For some reason you think if Moore softly criticizes Hillary that it's somehow not another propaganda film. have you seen the film? moore is contending that he goes after both sides, like dick morris is claiming in his new book, outrage. should i not give both the benefit of the doubt before i actually see their work? or should i just go on my slanted predjudice based on

Would George Washington Approve Of Gay Marriage? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

A lot of talk goes on about the founders and what they saw our nation developing at it's birth. We constantly look for ways to show how the founders would have handled a modern issue based on the Constitution, the formal early acts of governement, and things they said and wrote during their lives. One issue, the issue of gay marriage and civil unions isn'

I have to admit that the concept of stripping major criminals, such as "child molesters, murderers, and rapists" and the likes, of their citizenship sounds like an interesting punishment, but where would we send them? I seriously doubt any country would take our criminals, well, except maybe those who wouldn't mind using them as target practice or something. Besides, it's not as if they really care about being an American, they don't respect the law as it is. <br

my opinion is that we should be a secularly governed people, but our gov. should remember its sunday school lessons. i think the founders were thinking along similar lines. thanks for your comments. they realized that in order to get what they wanted, they had to butt out of what other people were doing. (this is a terribly hard thing for most humans to do) exactly. it's easy to keep everyone else's re

oh please...the language couldn't be more clear. they are not distinguishing between american and european christianity, as most of them shared faiths with at leat some european christians. it wasn't their religion itself that was at issue for teh founders, but religion's relationship with the government. that is what distinguished us. our church and our state were speperate. they could be assured that our church would not influence our government. eaton's book is about how he personal

Don't you mean 'near-hit?' "A near-miss is a hit! Oh look, they nearly missed." -George Carlin. i remember that routine,,,funny stuff! Wow, scary!

oh, so since 30 seconds of it trashes Hillary, it isn't partisan? lol that was an interview about the movie, not the movie itself...those clips are here...

i don't deny that many had personal religious convictions. but both of you ignore the 2 most important things up there, which aren't teh personal statements of any of them. it is when acting as a government, we acted secularly. look again at the treaty of tripoli...

We can't act militarily because the U.N. and europe will have their fits, that's a nice bitch, but the reality is that we can do very little militarily because this is not a military conflict. the overemphasis of military intervention in all of this since 9/11 has been ridiculous. we have so many "smarter " options to hunt and kill terrorists covertly and with quick strike special force units. the use of massive groundtroops to occupy territori

What it DOESN'T mean is that we should deny it exists. You remind me of the little kid that figures if he closes his eyes, it will all go away. We closed our eyes for decades... it didn't go away that isn't at all what i'm saying. your just parroting right wing bs talking points now ted...cmon...i haven't denied anything about terrorism's existence. or said anything close to suggesting we shouldn't fight it. i do question the administration's tact in fig

Terrorist propaganda portrays us as hating Islam. They say that we are really bent against the religion as a whole, that Muslims aren't safe in a world that we lead. They say that down deep we are all like Rightwinger, and that we'd just as soon have a world with no Islam or Muslims at all. i was pointing out to a good friend the other day that if he were an iranian, who was 30 or younger (give or take)...that pretty much all you know, from your perspect

You really need to lay off the caffeine. You almost sound like you gonna burst a blood vessle or something. Stop acting as if these kinds of things don't happen on both sides of the field. No matter how many times it may have been mentioned nothing ever happend during his first 6 years about this idea of his. Now all of a sudden it seems as if it would really happen and people became loud enough to make sure it didn't. We didn't have to be that loud before. Keep in min
