COL Gene, I'm with ya 100%. Truly, it's embarrassing to think that we would be associated with the most arrogant, self-serving lying sack of shit in the free world. I can honestly say that bush will never represent me, I will never accept him as my "leader", and I'm just going to endure him, as will millions of others like me, for four years, because we have no choice.

But, the fact remains, whether we bombed, aided, set up coups, or just invaded a country (Panama) to pluck a citizen (Noriega), criminal that he was, the US has never succeeded in forcing democracy on anyone. Never. And, unless we learn from history that you cannot institute democracy at the end of a gun, we are doomed to repeat and repeat and repeat these tragedies. But, then again, maybe we have learned, and maybe this is proof positive th

Right now, most programs grow annually by 3% automatically. I would just require that these same programs only increase at a rate of 2% annually until the debt was under $1 trillion. Well, the 2005 Omnibus Bill, about to be signed by Bush has a 0.8 reduction in most government agencies. This will be ve

As a side note, i think it makes little difference to dabe how much school vouchers make sense, Republicans like the idea so its automatically wrong in her mind. School vouchers make no sense at all.

School Vouchers: Fact and Fiction The idea of school vouchers was created as a method of improving the educational process. Parents were upset that they were trapped in an inferior school district, but they did not have the financial ability to send their children to a private school. Vouchers will give parents a predetermined amount of money (be

Reply #23 By: iamheather - 11/29/2004 8:58:47 PM Dabe, this is not a Bush bashing thread. Stick to actual programs that need to be cut or abolished, please. I am looking for answers, not problems. Sorry I guess I'd have to remove the "outsourcing and privatizing bush" line. The rest, I

Welcome to the latest, greatest Faith Based America If I remember correctly, there was a law that was just recently passed, in California maybe, maybe national, upheld by our Congress, that allows medical personnel of "moral convictions" to refuse to fill prescriptions, or do some procedures, and no longer be procecuted for their denial of service. Either we are in the Twilight Zone, or this is an early fascist state. I just posted a

I have no problem with free speech. Leave it to the righties to completely change the subject to deflect the issue. It was just a freakin' warning about what a lot of evangelicals are expecting from their shrubby boy.. Having said that, I really don't think Bush speaks for Bush. Crap, that man can't even string a coherent sentence together.

WORLD HISTORY 101 MID-TERM EXAM This test consists of one (1) multiple-choice question (so you better get it right!) Here's a list of the countries that the U.S. has bombed since the end of World War II, compiled by historian William Blum: China: 1945-46 Korea: 1950-53 China: 1950-53 Guatemala: 19

This is an article from ABC News. If this is what the righties wanted when they voted for bush, this country is in deep shit. Even if you righties don't support this kind of evangelical stuff, you voted for the candidate who will implement it. These are going to be some really tough times for this country for the next four years, particularly for non christians.

And I don't attack the integrity of those who don't feel they should have to give out their hard earned money to others. Personal responsibility and self-reliance can get you pretty far.

I do like Hillary, but the republicans are investing a lot of effort in villifying her. I think she's going to be unwinnable. Howard Dean doesn't impress me very much. Obama is a godsend. I think he's got a shot at being our first black president. The sooner, the better. In the meantime, I'd like to see the House and Senate overturned on '06, so that Bush and his entourage of neocon criminals can be impeached. And convicted.

No one is devaluing anyone's education. But a line has to be drawn somewhere! Heather, I agree completely. But, I find that the government is more prone to draw it's lines along some things that really don't make sense. As much as I'd like to see a utopia, where everything is wonderful, I know that's

I didn't write down my scores, unfortunately. I dunno why not. But, as I said, I am pretty far off to the bottom left of the compass, putting me closest to Gandhi, and also to the Dalai Lama and Nader, though I would not vote for Nader. I found this interesting because the compass put Kerry and Bush rather close together. I guess I knew this, given that Kerry is really a rather moderate democrat, and not the liberal left whacko that the r
