I got 16 correct. I had an interesting thought the other day, that I'm sure nobody around here will care for...but here it is, anyway (and it may just add a little spice to the debate): In the US Supreme Court decision Torcaso v. Watkins (http://ca... [Read More]

I'd be about as likely to vote McCain as Clinton. I'd vote for Rice in a heartbeat, but if she doesn't run, it'd take one heck of a candidate to get me to vote Republican (Newt Gingrich comes to mind). Barring that, I'll likely vote for the Constitu... [Read More]

In a Gallup poll (http://poll.gallup.com/content/?ci=21103) conducted Jan. 20-22, 48% of registered voters who were polled said they would consider voting for Hillary Clinton for president in '08 (16% said they would definitely vote for her, 32% said... [Read More]

No... but the forces were a lot closer to being balanced. The both had roughly the same armnaments. The Torries didn't have attack helicopter gunships for instance... But that still doesn't justify their tactics. There's a difference between guerill... [Read More]

Not to mention that our revolutionists (like the minute men) fought a guerilla war against the British to gain our independence. But the last I checked, no minutemen strapped dynamite to themselves and blew themselves up inside a pub full of Torries.... [Read More]

Well, for starters, I highly doubt that the Arab media is much into reporting much of anything positive about America... And this really is the problem with the whole question of giving aid - if we continue giving aid, we're now basically supporting... [Read More]

But if you are giving aid to Hamas and they spend most of the money on hospitals or schools, and spend some of the money for dynamite that is then strapped to someone and used to blow up a bus or a cafe, is it still okay because most of the money wen... [Read More]

I'm torn as far as monetary support to the Palestinians - on the one hand, I'm against supporting Hamas in any way, but on the other hand, withdrawing all support may drive even more Palestinians into the Hamas camp...but on the other hand, giving su... [Read More]

Well, until Hamas decides to stop supporting/participating in terrorism, there is no reason President Bush should negotiate with them. Of course, things are a bit different now for Hamas: if they keep up their suicide bombings, it'll technically be... [Read More]

Frankly, I think before anyone around here starts bashing the US for being fascist, they should take a look at what fascism (http://fdd.typepad.com/fdd/files/1.wmv) really (http://fdd.typepad.com/fdd/files/2.wmv) looks (http://fdd.typepad.com/fdd/fil... [Read More]
