that take advantage of inappropriate subsidies, price supports or inequities in the tax codes place an equally onerous burden on us Are homeowners who claim the mortgage deduction placing an onerous burden on us also?
The other countries at the UN are playing nice now, so what? I agree that the UN resolution has little or no intrinsic value. There were some people who cited the lack of a UN mandate as a reason to oppose the occupation in Iraq. Do you think Iraq would be better off if Saddam was still in powe
the role of the American media is "to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comforted." The irony is, that is very much a left-wing sentiment.
What did this mean in practical terms? Most importantly, AIDS research was chronically under-funded. When doctors at the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health asked for more funding for their work on AIDS, they were routinely denied it. Between June 1981 and May 1982 the CDC spent less than $1 million
Liberals spend public money without regard It took people this long to realize that?
Does this mean that you consider the UN resolution supporting the new Iraqi government meaningless?
This article points out that: 1. The Reagan administration spent millions of dollars on AIDS research. 2. Reagan first mentioned AIDS publicly in 1985. http://www.nationalreview.com/murdock/murdock200312030913.asp
Didn't we impose democracy on France after WWII? Democracy in Iraq is going to have to come from the inside, that is why Iraqis are going to be in charge of Iraq. The unanimous approval of the UN resolution is hardly a show of international criticism.
Based on the coverage I have seen, I don't think Reagan is being portrayed as "perfect". someone who had as many failures as he had successes I think you would be hard-pressed to find a consensus that Reagan's presidency was not a success overall. Issue's like AIDS funding are hardly as importa
bill o'reillypat robertsongeraldo riveraoliver northg gordon liddy Do you really think O'Reilly is on par with Michael Moore? Robertson, North, Liddy all have media outlets, but they don't get anywhere near the "big media" news coverage that Moore does.
First of all, I'd just like to say that in class we discussed whether or not the film was anti-Semitic, not whether or not we liked it.... There's a title for people like that... Captain Obvious
Then explain why Halliburton trucks are shipping gasoline into Iraq for its sake to Iraqis for 5 cents per gallon. Because there are hardly any if any refineries in Iraq. George Bush was so evil, he got KBR contracts with the army before he was even born.
I have never been to Michigan. Do they have some sort of barrier that prevents left turns?
Has it occurred to you that maybe the president does not want to bring unwanted attention and publicity to military familes?
Isn't medicaid a social welfare program? Last I checked it is easily over $100 billion.
And who is on the other side? A bunch of quacks, cranks, kooks and boys in the pocket of BIG OIL - these folks can't even get their facts straight. Have you shot a messenger today?
Is "spoiling" a ballot a British thing? I've never heard of it before (US resident).
I just know we are different, and we really must emphasise those differences to claim our identity back! What are the key differences between Australia and the U.S.?
I am having a hard time with this part; it doesn't seem to make sense. To me, it seems to say "Reagan got rid of some programs for the poor and poverty increased" then you conclude that the war on poverty made poverty worse. Did you misstate something? I think the point was that between the time when th
This article criticises Bush 42, but it also points out that Reagan supported spending cuts. http://www.cato.org/pubs/tbb/tbb-0308-16.pdf
During the Reagan era, the deficit basically tripled. Didn't revenue double though? Plus, I believe that it was democrats in congress that were pushing spending increases, not Reagan.
I think that rising insurance costs have more to do with lawsuits than conservatice policy.
They've found gay octopuses, albatrosses, fruit flies, dogs and other examples in nearly every type of animal you care to name. Why would God be so petty as to create something a certain way and then hate it for what it is. Just because an animal does soemething doesn't make it "right". God lo
The elevator only goes to the 14th floor.
thats not even including Iraqi force casualties... I doubt there were many Iraqi force casulaties, there wasn't much fighting during the "invasion" phase of the war.
