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?
|
And we now loop back to:
Well, heck, those wacky Iraqis might vote for Islamic extremists...
| |

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 must disagree - conservatives want to control others lives and make sure that
they conform to their own personal life (i.e. they want their conservative
personal life in everyone else’s face - “say my prayers at your school, ya
liberal regulators!”).

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;-)
|
No, he lost. He has the red light no matter what he does.
And now I suppose I’m stuck having to answer your question - I’m not convinced
in his interpretation of the Constitution, nor am I convinced that he doesn’t
dance around it when it is convenient to him.
| |
| |
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? :-)
|
Okay, you convinced me - he never escapes the joke. :-)
