[/quote] And an ounce of prevention is generally held to be worth rather a lot more cure... Isolationism hasn't been a serious option in international affairs for a very long time, certain extremist states notwithstanding. [/quote] Not having troops all over the world does not = isolationism. We have troops all over the…

All I am saying is that people with your beliefs have every right to be upset, no doubting that. But much like how the Tea Party was exploited by the conservatives, and the anti-war movement was exploited by the dems, this is just another case of exploitation. I'm not happy with much that goes on nowadays, but instead of…

I wish I could believe that this was an Independent movement free of political party just concerned with corruption, the wars, and civil liberties, but I can't. I have a hunch that if Mitt Romney would have won, this secession movement would have never happened. Besides, if things are so bad in this nation and people want…

And this is what I am talking about. When I saw the election coverage when the Republicans made historic gains in the house and senate in 2010, CNN and MSNBC reported it and kept their composure. I have no doubt that many of them were feeling angry inside, but they continued reporting and only really made their politcal…

Americans are combative by nature. When it comes to politics, our two party system has completely alienated our citizens into two warring camps that often fail to realize that many of the two parties at the top levels embrace similar policies regardless of the rhetoric and except money from the same contributors at the…

I think the reason I enjoyed this election cycle so much is that the conservative movements is full of bullies, and they have no problem telling others that they are unpatriotic, bad americans and lazy. They simulatneously portray themselves as tough guys but whine contiunuosly at the same time. Watching FOX news after…

If abortion bothers a person, just pretend the are Egyptian first born and it's god's will! That makes it ok. Just like all the dead children thanks to our current war. I for one would hope that if an unborn fetus being aborted is considered murder by pro-lifers, that they would show the same concern for brown kids killed…

I agree with pretty much every thing I you said. But realize this about Social Security. I do not know of many people on either side of the isle that want to depend on it as a sole means of retirement. But the reason I think it is necessary is because of inflation and the rising cost of living. Take my grandmother for…

The thing I can't seem to get a lot of former Bush supporters to understand is besides the horrible stewarship of the economy, even if parts of it came from Clinton as they say, after 9/11 happened he had 7 years to get us going again. This whole attack that Obama hasn't done a good enough job fixing everythins is…

If people thought for the last few years that Iran is a nuclear threat, like we were previously told about Saddam, it is a sad statement that we only have 1-2% of this naiton willing to joint the military. I realize it's a good thing there is no draft, but I am getting a little tired of our citizens, the ones who are…

I never understood how people used the fact that Obama was a community organizer as a slam. Ok, maybe if that was the only accomplishment on his resume, I could see that. But the more amazing thing are the people who criticize him. Take Sarah Palin. That ding bat consistently disparaged him because at the age of 24, he was…

I had to look up the word polemic. Thanks.

Give me a ****ing break. For a people who overwhelmingly think of themselves as tough, reliant, and thinks the rest of the nation views themselves as "victims", conservatives whine more than a puppy with it's peter caught in a door. That's all they do is whine, complaon, cry, and are constantly the victims of some huge…

It must be god's will

Well, one thing is for sure...I will be signing up for the leaner body/bigger penis package.

I'm all for it, but it does pose some interesting questions as to what we are goinng to be able to accomplish with this. As of now we are looking at this in a medical scope as to what we can cure and what we can't, and the outlook is phenomenol. But once again the world of science fiction has sort of been phrophetic and…

Maybe it's a trick? WHat if the mayor has diverted the marathon so that the runners are running in the direction of the most hard hit areas, where shovels, supplies, and medical gear?

http://news.yahoo.com/detailed-account-benghazi-attack-notes-cias-quick-response-020906681--abc-news-politics.html CIA says their was no "stand down order" from the President. Next conspiracy please.

The sad part is, there is nothing you can do toc change the minds of the people who hate him. I have legitimate complaints about our current president, but they are based in something I would like to call reality. Fact is, I knew Obama was in for a rough ride from the day he was elected. Before he even swore in as…

I don't know....if any of us were on a train and saw an atheist quietly staring out the window and a religious person talking to an invisible friend, be honest, who is more than likely insane? lol.

My wife is shy and quiet, I'm outgoing and loud. We are so opposite on almost every detail of our personalities people who knew us are often amazed we have been together as long as we have. Not saying their haven't benn bumps in the road. But I think where we differ most is our religious beliefs. I am a non-believer, she…

And that's a possiblity. As a matter of fact, I think their is also some evidence that the sites the pyramids are on might have been older structures that might have eroded or been destroyed, or maybe just added too or renovated. It's a possiblity the reason we don't see traces of a more ancient empire of Egypt from what…

Yeah, I am in agreement with Lucky about the victors part.

I believe that Plato's Atlantis was based on the more ancient writings of a greek named Solon, who got much of his information from the visiting the Eyptians, or so the theory goes. They also said that the Trojan was was a myth as well, until they actually found Troy in Turkey and now know that the war really happened. As…

I don't know if I was clear enough. I don't discount the possiblity of aliens existing in the universe, it's a big place, but I have never seen anything that would make me think that they indeed helped early man out. Of all the probablities out their, I would see that is the least probable. As far as what main stream…

You all bring up some very interesting points. As far what you said Lucky, it makes some sense. I am willing to concede that the pyramid shape might in fact been popular in several civliazations because it was just the best thing they could come up with at the time. But more than just the shape, I find it interesting that…

I think scientists have always been reluctant to attribute any truth to not only the historcial accuracy of the bible, but to many cultures supposed myths. It is no news to any body on the debate forums that I am not a believer in the biblical god or the supernatural, but historically I think the bible has been correct in…

How exactly did "we" earn it. Nothing makes me laugh harder than a bunch of loud mouth civilians talking about how the world owes us something for what our grandparents did in WW II. We....what a hoot.

Free trade, free dialogue. It's a false to presume that not wanting hundreds of military bases throughout the world is isolationism. Fact is, the world doesn't hate us, the hate our government. In so many instances in the world, we have overthrown democracies and installed dictatorships because our leaders were keenly…
