The fact that they are even trying to change it speaks volumes to their states of mind and their far reaching intent. It's disgusting.

Reply to Newbie doing online study of bloggers in Blogging JoeUser Forums

To me, blogging is all about politics right now. I have no interest in putting my life story up on the internet. I am very interested in debating political issues, and if you go to my blog, and see my responses to others' posts, you'll see that I'm a left wing environmentalist who has little patience for social selfishness, racists & xenophobes, tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, and this criminal we have for a president. I care about people

Great article! I can't even tell you how many times I read the Lorax to my kids when they were little. Hmmmmm.................. I think I know what to get for my grandson for Chanukah. Thanks for the reminder. (But, I bet my daughter bought it for him already.) I'm an environmental professional, so what bush is doing is of particular interest to me. I don't know anyone in

Reply to Bush Reelection fallout in Politics JoeUser Forums

You're right. Changing cabinet members is not unusual. But, what is so disheartening, and even scary is that he's creating a virtual echo chamber, one that will never say "but, Mr. President......." As Sandy pointed out, the intellegence community is also jumping ship, with Goss cleaning out the ranks of the disidents there, as well. And, the Supreme Court will likely go hardline, strict, overreaching, and possibly religious "moralizing". I never

Reply to Iraq Again: The Human Cost of the Assault on Fallujah in Politics JoeUser Forums

It's hard to say what the marines should do when fired upon. First of all, I am firmly commited to the notion that they should never have been sent there in the first place. However, having said that, they are there and must defend themselves. But, bombing the livning daylights out of a civilian population is unconsionable. I don't know what the solution is. Fact is, we're in this urban guerrila warfare now, and it's very very ugly. As Colin Powe

Only have one political party. Lee, we're getting closer and closer to that every election. Even the democratic candidates are so moderate as to be almost republican.

The question should remain, why stop there? Let's investigate these scandals. After all, we impeached Clinton for sex... Noooooo..... they didn't impeach Clinton for sex. They impeached him for lying about sex. So, if lying i

So, the American army is bombing innocent Iraqis? For what reason? The Bush administration doesn't really want to talk about the Iraqis that have died as a direct result of coalition airstrikes, but when they do, they call it "collateral damage". Tell that to the Iraqis. Following is an excerpt from o

Pell grants ARE a form of voucher, Dabe. You do know that don't you? With one major difference.................... Elementary and high schools are mandatory. As the article above pointed out, one problem with vouchers is that it's a way of providing some subsidy to only those who can really affo

Get a grip! We are not bombing the people of Iraq, just the insurgents You're kidding, right? No, you're freakin' serious. I suppose it's the martians that have killed upwards of 100,000 Iraqis, according to some estimates. That may be high, but the point is that the insurgents have not killed nearly

As for many "humerous" remarks coming from Concervitive leaders, they are not funny. I agree. They are not funny, and they are in very bad taste. Downright offensive.

I find Obama personally attractive, but he's yet to serve one day in Congress, Hmmmmmm..... Did Bush ever serve a day in Congress? I think he was just a governor. Bill Clinton never served in Congress either. At least, I don't thing so. Serving a day in Congress is not a prerequisite to becoming pre

Reply to Natural Born Citizens Forever...Arnold Never??! in Politics JoeUser Forums

I would think that one reason the writers of the Constitution flet that only naturally born citizens should qualify is because it would provide a protection against outside "invasion". If immigrants could be president, I have this feeling that, hypothetically, one could be used to gain access into the White House by a not so benevolent foreign nation. Therefore, I am adamantly against an amendment to enable this to happen. I sure don't think

I find it interresting that they're not even waiting till the beginning of bush's second term. Right after the election, they're jumping ship. Kind of makes me wonder if his own cabinet was hoping he'd lose.

From Timbuktu to Tijuana, you know all about world culture and politics. You've seen it all, and what you haven't seen, you watched on one of the "smart people channels." Your friends tell you that you should run for governor. What people love: You've always got a great story to tell. What people hate: You make them feel like ignorant plebians. Sometimes you slip and CALL them plebians. That was fun!

.... This is, needless to say, not America's finest hour. We are in a completely different place than we were when Clinton was in the house. And Perception is the key here. And if you don't think that we are more vulnerable to attack now than ever before you better think again. We are a wounded animal and the jackals are circling
