The following was forwarded to me: The line of business my wife works in requires her going out to dinner with prospective clients. The overwhelming majority of these people are politically liberal. If the client's spouse is to be present, the company policy encourages its employees to be escorted by their signifcant other whenever possible. Th

David Fox (Anonymous User)- You argue persuasively... but point out nothing new. Perhaps you could educate us on how to combat the fraudulent economic practices that you mention. BTW, will India & China's path to world domination be smooth sailing, or are these nation-States likely encounter a patch of rough weather along the way? At any rate, as an American, I personally will not loose any sleep over the concept of people striving

I think the president's response was right on the money. He calmly expressed his disagreement, shook the cheap shot off, and moved the American government into action. Bush is accustomed to getting bashed. But is telling that Old Europe's immediate reaction to the tragedy was to use it as a platform to bash America. Aren't UN personnel supposed to be diplomats? Why then do we subsidize an organization bent on America's destruction?

We don't do that sort of thing in civilized countries anymore. This is further proof of the militaristic mindset o

Erm, when was the last time China was the world's numero uno power? From a history book: "China is one of the world's oldest living civilizations. Its written history goes back about 3,500 years. The Chinese were the first to develop the compass, paper, porcelain, and silk cloth. They undertook

There is no problem with believeing your country is great, possibly or probably the best, but to believe that it is utterly perfect and without sin is simply delusional. Then, anyone who points out flaws or things that can be done better all of the sudden hates America and is being attacked from all sides (but mostly the right) f

Your "America hating" is just another excuse to bash the left. BTW, I would be interested to hear what it is the left stands for? You see John Kerry only told me about how much of a f***-up General Bush is, and how he is not different from Bush just more capable, but no one ever told me what is that the

Barring a natural catastrophe or a revolt by the 900 million plus Chinese who toil in poverty, the Chinese Nation seems likely to reclaim its place as the world's numero uno power. I would only add that some would say that the Bill Clinton presidency was Made In China. Even the cowboy boot now sports 'Made in China' Written by The Christian Scienc

NOW WE ARE ALL ISRAELIS By Phyllis Chesler Since September 11, I have learned that we are all Israelis. I have learned that Islamic terrorists do not distinguish between progressive or reactionary human beings; they are not interested in whether or not we oppose imperialism, colonialism, misogyny, or the Israeli Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The September 11 attacks were a direct hit on Western civilization and the values it upholds, wh

I find it amazing that the world presumes America owes it anything: 1300 plus Americans dead in Iraq. While I do believe that humanity is at point in time where for better or worse we are all to a large extent dependant upon one another as brothers and sisters if civilization is to continue, I am, nevertheless, disappointed that the world's first reaction to the unfloding tragedy is to find fault with Americ

rightwinger- you know your Godfather. without going back and reading the passages related to your question, I would say that SSgeezer's analysis that Luca was in need of direction is on the money. however, Luca wouldn't take direction(orders) from just any one. Luca was a killing machine; killing was something he intutively had a knack for; but killing for a purpose, not just out of uncontroled emotion, was something he lacked, but which the Godfather,

whoman69- Occasionally, I contemplate why the world views America so negatively. The UN's reaction to the tragedy in South Asia - that America as the richest Nation in the world is stingy for not giving more- crystallizes my understanding of the matter. The world's irrational hatred of America is due to an age-old emotion called envy. Why did Cain detest his brother Able?

While reading the below AP article, keep this question in mind: What would Old Europe do if America, as many on the left hope, is strategically run out of the middle east -- & China & Russia decide to take it upon themselves to militarily secure that they each have acess to middle east oil? I know what I would tell Old Europe to do -- it sarts with an f and ends wit

No serious thinkers come from the left anymore. Liberals simply bash Bush and call that policy, debate - discourse. Liberals point the finger of blame without offering ideas of their own; it is not criticism that liberals offer (certainly not constructive criticism), but rather condemnation based on a presumed moral superiority that says I’m better than someone who believes that … without offering alternatives. Of course even as a conservative I desire clean air & water. I indeed most certainly

Alex Gottschalk - most liberals that I speak to about this issue seem to have declared open season on Israel. Hence, it's good to see that not all liberals - even Jewish ones - are bent on blasting the hell out of Israel for merely trying to co-exist in the middle east. But you would agree that liberals for the most part are making Israel out to be the bad guy in this everlasting conflict with the Palestinians?

"...the roles would have been reversed during the Cold war (USSR supports Israel, and we supported the Arabs), that there would be such animosity outside of the Middle East? Even the Liberals would Love Israel then! Shock! Shock!" I see your point and you make much sense. It is hard for some to accept that they are on the wrong side of history.
