Are the people keeping Obama's economic stats the same ones who fudged the climate stats?
It seems they are using some form of new math that just doesn't add up...
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs it true that Obama sympathizes with the Muslim extremist terrorist that shot and killed 13 ppl in Fort Hood?
I found his speech following the terrorist attack to be very suspicious...
13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoShould Obama sit in silence and stay in his room to reduce his precious carbon footprint?
I just wonder why a guy who spouts off so much about environmental crap does so much to go against his own rhetoric. It could be a win-win for all of us if he just silenced himself and stayed out of sight with his mouth closed until the end of his term, and that way we could heal as a country and he could maintain he is a greeny...
2 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCan anybody explain what is the exact plan to cut costs, yet increase health coverage?
I do not understand how anybody can defend a Universal Health Care Plan in the middle of a recession at it's "trillion" dollar pricetag(which many of us believe is way lower than what it will actually cost)..and even the president has no knowledge of specifics...
14 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoLiberals, who is going to pay for your?
Food stamps, medical care, utilities, housing, etc...when all of the tax dollars are gone because the government is putting companies out of business at an alarming rate through taxation/unionization and China decides to cut off it's credit? I am not being mean..I am just pointing out the simple fact that if half of this legislation goes through, the amount of money pouring into the tax coffers will dry up. If you disagree, please give a scenario how it won't happen...
21 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCanada Sees Boom in Private Health Insurance..?
Now explain why we would spend trillions to go down that road if it has already been proven to be a faulty system?
You can read more of the story from http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/30/canada-...
8 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy do liberals feel threatened when Global Warming is challenged?
I have noticed that any time anybody tries to dispute the Global Warming theory..it is met by strong resistance from the left. Could it be they know that when people cease to fear the propaganda being fed to them, the tax dollars for health care and welfare will disappear from the new cap and trade proposals?
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhen will politicians quit using "Global Warming" to scare us into taxation?
Here is a link to just one of many legitimate reports that soundly oppose the theory of Global warming, yet we continue to only hear the side of the argument that benefits the politicians agenda to tax the crap out of us...
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHave you ever noticed?
The people on here that would most like to see America head down the road to socialism are from foreign countries with unemployment rates in the double digits? I guess the old saying, misery loves company is true?
3 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoFor those who don't believe we are giving up our freedoms answer me this?
Barring guidelines that are in place to protect the freedoms and safety of others, explain to me why we cannot drive without a seatbelt, watch a tobacco advertisement, have a restaurant in the neighborhood that serves foods with trans fatty acids, teach our children to believe in a god or higher power without having it contradicted with theory in schools(the reason darwins theory is called darwins theory is because it is just that...a theory, along with big bang) etc, etc, etc
Are we no longer allowed to have free choice?
14 AnswersCivic Participation1 decade agoIs a weakened economy really the new agenda?
I know I am going to hear a lot of flak for this, but the more I listen to the preposterous rhetoric on the economic catastrophy in this country, the more I am convinced our government is trying to weaken the private sector so that we are more reliant on the government. We fought throughout history to protect others from similar fates, yet we lay back and allow it to slip in under the radar simply because it seems to be a sin to question our new president-elect.
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhether we agree with each other or not here in the US, why are there Americans allowing outsiders 2 judge us?
I know in this country there is alot of political turmoil. Aside from that, no partisanship, how can we have constructive debate between parties and remain a United people when we allow others with hidden agendas the joy of degrading our country?
9 AnswersCivic Participation1 decade agoAm I just crazy or does anybody else see a conspiracy here?
In my opinion, piecing together the news from different mediums, it seems that Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea are sitting back and awaiting the time when the terrorists have stretched our resources thin, so they can move in for the kill. I have noticed that Russia has been quietly making the move back towards communism and their "glory days" of the USSR, and keeping close ties to China, North Korea, and Iran. They have thumbed their noses at the world community more than once and have done absolutely nothing, actually quite the opposite of helping (supplied technology and even arguably military equipment) , with the war on global terrorism. What do you guys think?

7 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoIs it time for a major amendment to the constitution?
I believe there should be an amendment that gives Americans the right to impeach any government official and have them removed from office by petition and hold emergency elections immediately following the removal of said official...They are, after all, supposed to be serving the people...which considering the "do nothing congress" and the self proclaimed King President...would be a nice option right about now. The ratings for these guys are so low they have absolutely lost their ability to lead and should be held accountable to at least some standard...I don't even care about party lines here..both sides are doing a horrific job!!!
10 AnswersElections1 decade agoConsidering the quote, "United we stand, Divided we fall", what can we as Americans do to stem the divide?
Our country seems to be teetering on what some would consider the most dangerous political slope in our history..with gallup polls reporting around a 14 percent favorable rating of congress and just over 20 percent favorable rating towards our president...Personally I think we need to hold emergency elections and clean out all of the political debris. I wish some of the politicians in office would take a look at themselves and realize they would be fired in any other job with those numbers and resign from office. I think we should start massive petitions to rescind the previous elections and start all over from scratch...
11 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow can anybody defend ILLEGAL immigration intelligently?
I don't know, but I have to stick with Glenn Beck on this...It is a right or wrong issue, not a a right and left issue! I just don't understand how in a "civilized" society we could reward people for breaking the law just because they are good swimmers, wall climbers, and runners! If we start doing that then we would have to get the worthless ACLU involved to put in handicapped ramps across the border so that handicapped border hoppers get the same chance as those with 2 good legs..lol
22 AnswersImmigration1 decade agoDoes anybody have any realistic ideas to seal our borders?
We mostly agree in this country(U.S.) that something major has to be done to stem the tide of illegal immigrants from flooding our country and bogging down our judicial, welfare, and legislative systems. I just wonder if any of our citizens can come up with a decent idea to work with since our lawmakers can't, and maybe we can submit the best ideas to our state representatives, although it is highly unlikely they will be competent enough to review them adequately...lol
