Reply to {U.S. Supreme} Court Declines License Plate Case in Politics PolMach Forums

Of course the court turned it down. Its a no-brainer that if only one side of an issue can be presented, there is unfairness involved. This court is in no way going to rule for anything that even resembles pro-abortion. To have ruled against it would have shown they were in the back pockets of the anti abortion constituency. They were stuck. They could either make the right decision and give a victory to their enemies, or they could show themselve

You could have actually made some good points, but instead went right for the cheap shot. How Roveian of you. She actually makes a good point. Teaching abstinance only means that teachers are supposed to make all the decisions for the student, because there is only one choice. If you don't choose that non choice then you are filled with ignorance. Abstinance only tells us that we should not trust our kids with options.

Only the most ardent of leftists would support socialism. I can't point to any that are in Congress. Simply wanting the government to assist in some costly basic necessities is not in itself socialism. In socialism, everything is controlled by the state. Health care is an example of a necessity that has become too costly for many to afford, 45 million without insurance.

Call it bigotry if you like. I prefer the US attitude: turn the Mexicans, Guatemalans et al back at the border. Those Yanks do it quietly and efficiently too. The Brits make too much of a song about it. you might want to check that. we have millions of illegal immigrants as well and can do nothing with

Reply to George Washington was not in Political Machine PolMach Forums

By game standards since his federalist party became the whigs who in turn became Republicans, then George Washington is a Republican. The parties have of course changed after so many generations into something entirely different. For example Barry Goldwater would be appalled to have seen the huge deficits put up by Reagan/Bush/Dubyah. The Republican party drew strength from the south for those disaffected by the Democrats stand on anti-segregation l

Their opinion is that smoking raised the cost they are required to pay for insurance. These days in most states, businesses need very little reason to fire people. I am not sure that makes it right, but it does make it legal.

Whenever some fool argues that we brought 9/11 on ourselves chances are, if they're an American, they vote Democrat. When did Pat Robertson turn Democrat?

You can take your America love it or leave it attitude and shove it up your ass. And up the ass up Richard Nixon, Archie Bunker and everyone that used it before them. We don't have to love what your Republican president is doing to this nation. Your blindness wrapped as patriotism is disgusting. It is my right as an American to speak out about what I believe is going wrong and its not America bashing. He

V. We hardly knew ye 28. James Garfield- Ironic that a man who was going to clean up the political spoils system was killed by a madman dissatisfied he was left out. 29. William H. Harrison- Cough. You're 68 years old and don't have the sense not to stand out in the freezing rain for two hours running your yap? VI. Why did they bother 30. Grover Cleveland- The nation would have been much better off had he decided not to run

IV. Not destined for greatness 20. Chester A Arthur- Arthur was another who excelled in beating down preconceived notions about him. Three years prior he had been booted out of a plum Tammany Hall position in an attempt to curb the political spoils system. He was VP to Garfield who was killed by a crazy scoundrel that showed the worst apects of that spoils system. Arthur used his administration to put an end to the corruption. Becaus

III. Taken From Greatness 15. William Howard Taft- despite what TR thought, he actually continued many of his predecessor's policies and even expanded on some. His was taken down by sniping from Roosevelt. 16. James Madison- Was it foolhardy to take on the British? Yes. Was it necessary? Again, yes. Early embarrassements led to great victories in Baltimore and New Orleans. The father of the Constitution. 17. Bill Clinton

II. Near Great Presidents 9. James Knox Polk- Probably the most underrated President of all. Largely forgotten because he literally worked himself to death in his one term. Brought Texas and California into the fold and stood up to the British to set our northern border. 10. James Monroe- The Monroe Doctrine was used many times by following adminstrations, from McKinley, Roosevelt and Polk. 11. John Kennedy- I tend to err on the

The History Channel just finished a wonderful 8 part documentary on the history of the Presidents. Watching it gave me an idea for a thread to rate the Presidents. Here goes: I. Great Presidents 1.

Karl Marx was from Germany, who stated, with others, what came to be known as Bolshevism, and later Communism. He was exiled from his own country and was being chased around the world by stalin, who wanted to kill him. That was Leon Trotsky. Marx died in 1883. I know Stalin was a bad man, but he was o

Also, nothing disgusts me more than an anti-war protester hiding behind “support the troops” banners. It means that you don't want our soldiers to pay dearly for a misguided policy.
