Well, heck, those wacky Iraqis might vote for Islamic extremists - an
eventuality that the Guy Not Elected by “Yankees” did not even consider.

I think it is a bit offensive and even racist to believe that any human
being wouldn’t want to be free if truly given the chance.
|
Ummmmm, are these comments directed at me or as a general statement?
|
It wasn’t personal.
| |
To answer it as a general statement, it is a religious (or cultutal) thing,
not a racist thing. Generally speaking, religious fanatics don’t want to be
free, or at least don’t want you to be free of them. That goes for just
about any culture, any race.

Ah, but then in the interests of diversity and multiculturalism, do we have a
responsibility to allow them to be as they are (killing, oppressing, etc), or
should we enlighten them (eg liberate and teach democracy and freedom)? No
matter how bigotted it sounds, isn’t our way (Freedom and Democracy) really
the best way for the whole world? Don’t we believe that everyone deserves
freedom? What is so wrong with fostering and encouraging these principles?

Gotta save them from themselves, don’t you know.
|
What gives? Isn’t that the very mantra of regulating Liberals?
|
You got the last word wrong: substitute “converatives” for “liberals.”
Conservatives don’t want (their) businesses regulated, but they want your
personal life regulated.
|
lol Not really. They just don’t want other people’s “personal life” in their
face. I really do believe that there is a happy medium between the two WRT
social and fiscal regulation.

Let’s face it, why should
Bush support the will of the people? If he did he wouldn’t be President.
:-) :-(
|
He supports the will of the people who wrote our Constitution the way they
did-- you don’t seriously have a problem with that, do you?
|
I’ll address this when you address what I said. :-)
|
lol Well, for all intents and purposes, the “will of the people” was fairly
evenly divided. So, in effect, Bush has the green light no matter what he
does;-)
| |
But I have to
| |
wonder: what is the record length of time for milking a joke? Surely the
teat is dry by now? :-)
|
1) I wish it was a joke. 2) Okay, so my wish came true after a fashion: Bush
is a joke (if not a funny one). 3) To actually answer your question: until
he actually wins.
|
But won’t his incumbency play a large role in his second victory? Spoils
begotten from illegitimate gains? :-)
