> Higher military population gains infrastructure and production bonuses to military buildings and ships Then you could have things like governors which could increase efficiency and that kind of thing.
er Capital Ships or Heavy Bombers or something. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now.
I takes a much bigger man not to go to war than it does to go I find this a bit ridiculous because people were complaining about the sanctions before we even went to war. I've heard people claim that through sanctions we killed thousands of babies and children each year. So, sanctions aren't acceptable,
Bah, both sides do this sort of 'glossing over' of the other's ideas. Bush supporters are moronic, fascist, nazis Kerry supporters are tree-hugging, flip-flopping, wussies who want to make the usa the UN's bitch. There are examples of both (KKK and PETA), but neither are indicative of their respective party platforms. The problem is that each party has let the bulk of their members be painted with such broad strokes, and
[Quote] Just because Al Franken has a radio show, doesn't mean he represents the party. [/Quote] Just like I'm sure Ann Coulter represents the entire Republican party as well. There isn't a law with Edwards and Kerry with why they pay such low taxes. They're part of LLC companies so they get taxed less. It's complicated and kinda boring to explain.
Misguided and uninformed, aren't you making references to the Nazi party existing in the USA? Maybe it is YOU who is the moron?
Tarumigan, what about the first WTC bombings? What about the fact that Sudan offered Osama to Clinton around 4 times? I mean, Clinton obviously didn't take him too seriously, and Bush was probably just following suit. What is ignorant about supporting Bush? He's tried to get our economy out of a recession, and the one-two punch of the Dot-Com collapse as well as the 9/11 attacks makes it difficult to help the economy, little as the government
[Quote] Despite his failure to stop the 9-11 attacks [/Quote] Even though Clinton failed to prevent them during his time period [Quote] We have liberal elitists (anyone with a brain) [/Quote] With attitudes like this can you really be surprised that the Democrats lost this election? Honestly, if you try to convince someone that you're right because you're *obviously* so much more enlightened/intelligent than they are I'm sure
[Quote] There would be if Bush hadn't removed the 3 trillion dollar surpluss of the Clinton administration. [/Quote] This is an untrue statement, because the debt has been growing since something like 1940. Clinton had 'projected' surpluses, that is, in about 10 years he would've had that much if the country stayed at that point. All Clinton did was balance the budget. I just graduated (last year), and the school I went to was horribl
The problem is that the UN never really wants to do anything. The European contries have been so into appeasement that they've spread their influence to other countries and many are now unwilling to take any action against any villain. So I would go so far as to say that the USA isn't the problem, but rather, the other countries who fight action every step of the way are. Anyways, that's my 2 cents on the whole thing.
Eh, I don't think any country would be stupid enough to send terrorists with nuclear weapons into our country, because we'd give ourselves the right to level the whole damn country. Say Libya did it, well then we'd nuke Libya back to the Stone Age along with countries surrounding it. We've got a hell of a lot more nukes than anybody, so it's kinda weird to claim that a country could be stupid enough to do something like that. Especially North Korea, be
I agree with Aaron, their arguments are usually fairly balanced, except the two he mentioned, but I think those were meant to go overboard. Another thing: I was thinking about how easy it would be to run for President. All you really have to do is have some military history (no national guard like Dubya, and no commie buddies like Kerry), and be reasonably intelligent. Then it's just a matter of getting to the head of a party (Republican looks easy bec
Saint Ying, the problem is that people don't say it as accurate as you did. Kudos to you for providing precise stats. Most people I know who talk about this sort of thing will only say that there has been, and I quote one of my friends, "an incredibly massive increase of taxes on the middle class," and when people say it like that, it's obviously crap, but thank you for providing accuracy in a world of generalizations. I also enjoyed your article becau
Sir Peter Maxwell, you claim that Americans are stupid. How is it, then, that all of the inventions you used to do most of your daily activities are in fact, American? Your country was not the greatest in history, for none are greater than the USA!!!!
You guys, I'm conservative, and I can tell you we aren't all as loony as this guy obviously is.
I will agree there are times when abortion is a correct option, such as a definite stillbirth or rape. However, I think that lax standards on abortion will only continue to perpetuate the degradation of this country as a whole because we won't be holding people responsible for a serious action. The fact remains that people shouldn't be having sex unless they're prepared for the consequences. That's the problem with the liberals, is that they don't want
I just reread that paragraph over, what bad sentence structure.
You guys need to understand the target audience for the news. A lot of people who watch the news, like people who read the newspaper, have the attention span of a firefly, so if they can get dragged into something with a negative slant on it, like CNN's reports on the war in Iraq, and more people are drawn to it because they want to hear the dirt. The same thing happened with Clinton, and the only reason anybody cared was because the media was making a
You're like the Bill O'Reilly of this website except not old and without your own merchandise
Brad, I always enjoy your posts because you make so much sense. There's no rhetoric, no spin, just the facts. I like it!
I noticed that Saint Ying made the claim that the Middle Class has an 'increasing tax burden.' What stats have you been looking at? The rich currently foot >50% of the bill, and even if there's not enough income some of them buy bonds too, in addition to their income taxes. Brad's right, no CEO will give up their salary just to keep a few lower-level employees in work. I live in Longview, Washington State, and we used to have a huge mill industry. Over
In response to an older post: Sherye, why would you want to be European?
Big Mammal, legalized drugs DO NOT make a country better, despite what people think. Ever been to Amsterdam? That place turned into a sh*thole after they legalized drugs. People were shooting up and smoking dope on the streets , in front of children! Comparing the freedoms that Europeans have to our freedoms, we have far, far more, and we have a better country to boot.
People say our country doesn't fend for the poor. I find that hard to believe since the last budget I looked at put Low-Income Assistance at third place after payments to the elderly and national defense respectively. The thing is, is that people have to be willing to work too. All too often, people will get the assistance they need, only to use it on something useless (like a big-screen tv) instead of getting something they need to get a job (like mor
iul89, more countries supported us than opposed us on the Iraqi war. That's a fact. Just because France, Germany, and Russia were against us doesn't mean that the whole world is against us.
