I should remind everyone that the Time Person of the Year doesn't necessarily go to the greatest man, only the most influential. Past winners have included: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin (twice), Chiang Kai Shek, Mao Tse Dung, Mohammed Mossadegh (the PM of Iran under the Shah who forged alliances with communists whose ouster by the CIA and MI6 was used as a rallying point for the fanatics in '78), Nikita Kruschev, Gen. Westmoreland, LBJ at the height o

I would also like to point out the fact that if Donald does not have to resign as Sec. Defense even though he messed up BIG TIME, then why should an elected leader resign? I would also like to point out to whoman69 that we do not provide the s

Only an 8 in socialism? Come on, you're commited. What the heck does equality of results mean? My biggest issue would be deficit reduction. Towards that end, my dream running mate would be former Senator William Proxmire, author of the Golden Fleece awards to recognize poor spending by the government. I would not favor general spending freezes or cuts as they are arbitrary. Though they have Democrats favoring gay marriage, neither

I was not a boy scout for long but was a cub scout. The only portion of the program that deals with religion is one chapter which is the shortest chapter in the book. It asks that the scout goes to church, synagogue, temple once. There are no real penalties for skipping one chapter, you can still get to the next level with all the badges.

Remember the human shields that ran over to Iraq before the war? They thoughtthey were going to be stationed at schools and hoispitals, but Saddam put them next to ammo dumps and military bases! ROFL! You forget, ammo dumps and military bases were right next to the schools and the hospitals.

If you were your own candidate in political machine, what would be the special traits that you would espouse that would differ you from the standard character of your party? What issues would you make important in your own campaign?

I think the fact that we provide the security, the land and built the place should be enough of our dues. The scandal is acutally aimed at his son, not the Sec Gen. Still no word from the administration about Halliburton's connection to the scandal.

we would have a war zone full of soldiers who are undermanned and undersupplied, and casualties would be greater than they already are. we've been undermanned and undersupplied from day one with no plan to win only unrealistic expectations that the Iraqis would throw garlands and fall in line. somebody

Kind of like reporting Mikey moore is an unbiased reporter at the conventions. Guess what, Ann Coulter was offered to cover the other convention but she blew it and was fired. She wrote an unreadable story from "the spawn of satan convention." What slanted story did Michael Moore write? His story wa

LBJ personally signed the letters. He had 38 times the amount to sign that Rumsfeld had. He didn't ask MacNamara to sign them for him or his secretary to do so.

Reply to an outrage in Politics

I would say what was repulsive was the righties that protested the legal recount that was happening in Florida in 2000 and even broke into the building where they were doing the count to try to bully those from trying to get an accurate count from fulfilling their democratic duties. You mean the right never protest anything? You think there was an ounce of respect for the presidency during the Clinton administration from day one from those on th

Do you realize how absurd this argument is? This is akin to saying that if the neighbor hadn't let us use his water spigget we would have had a hard time putting out the fire that was burning down their house. His house wasn't burning against the Japanese, it was ours. Churchill was certainly in a bet

Will people remember the Bay of pigs or the space programs, Cuban missile crisis or our entry into the Vietnam war Americans were sent to Vietnam first in 1957 during the Eisenhower administration. The number of troops did not increase incrementally until after the Gulf of Tonkin incident. The Bay of

We could still have very easily ignored it and thrown everything we had against the Japanese, and worried about Germany later. That's bunk. Churchill would not have stood up for it. They gave us a heck of alot of help against the Japanese with their troops in India and Burma. Additionally without the

I sometimes get on and see the name player come up. Right away I believe its a newb so what's the point. If you want to get noticed, at least have your screen name ready. When I see player, I'm automatically going to assume that you just opened the box and have no idea what you're doing.

The main thing is you are trying to claim there was no threat to the US during WWII all in some twisted manner to claim that it was much the same as the war in Iraq. Iraq did not attack any part of the US or their holdings, ever. With the condition of their military in 2003 they couldn't have posed a threat to ANY other nation. Bush bought into a bluff. This comparison to a global conflict like WWII is ridiculous. Every reason given for entering I

I bet you did not know that Japan also Bombed Oregon, but that was whewn they were losing the war. There were no plans to invade or attack Mainland USA. But that is besides the point anyway. Oregon was attacked by bombs attached to balloons launched from Japan. They were very inefficienct causing onl
