What's with all "should the mentaly ill?" threads? Do you mean those deemed incompedant?;^] Somebody copied me. Ahhh, that was just a bad thread (the other one) to come home too. We face discrimination everywhere we go, regardless a number of great americans were mentaly ill. Oh well, I'll keep fighting the good fight..lol;^] |

Traditionally, the basic definition of a liberal was someone who promoted change, while a conservative was one to preserve the status quo
the definition of a liberal is more goverment, more social programs and higher taxes...and that's what Obama is promising so I don't know what's new about that... Actualy the origins of "liberal" are people who believe in policies which liberate. The first presidant democrat, Andrew Jackson, was not a liberal, but Ben Franklin was;^] |

But if society as a whole can't get past a 7 letter word How is it going to get past the race issue in General? I do agree with that, dialog is everything. I think more people should be taught the origins of the word to see exactly why it's such a hateful word;^] |

Fair or Foul? Depends, when it ends with a A instead of ER I don't see a problem with black folk using it, as they are just trying to make it a less hateful word. I don't think it's right for white folk to use it all as it is a direct referance to the Nigerian slave trade. Just my humble;^] |

The bottom line is that Mrs. Obama is a racist, and she will creat division in the country if her husband is elected. We have enough race problems without her adding to the mix. What speculative BS;^] Again you take her quote of context, yeah she worded it wrong but you're the one playing the race card, not her;^] turtlepoet78....... If Mrs. Obama were not from Princeton and Harvard, and if her remarks had not been in two prepared speeches, yes I would say that I am suppositioning and perhaps BSing. However, this is an educated woman who is very articulate and knows exactly what she is saying. Mrs. Obama is playing the race card, and the terrible thing about doing so is that it isn't necessary. Her husband has the the momento and the votes to propel him into the nomination. She's racsist because she's proud that we live in a day where a black man could become the presidant? I must be racist too 'cause I feel the same way;^] turtlepoet72...... Mrs. Obama is racist because she has never been proud of America in her entire adult life until her husband became a candidate for the office of the presidency. If that isn't a racist statement, then why is it all over the cable news, the regular TV, the newspapers, the magazines, the internet, and why are we discussing it. Think about that. Well, I have got to go .... have lots to do. Once again, think about it. Incidentally, don't be so defensive. Obviously you are for Obama, I have nothing against him, just his racist wife. Again you take her quote of context, yeah she worded it wrong but you're the one playing the race card, not her;^] |

We all have that right, if we are away from home. Some people who are lucky to be rich enough live in other parts of the world seasonally. We all have this right not just dems. Lol actually only democrats have the right to vote in the democratic primary, regardless at home or abroad. But my point is that these are different...these aren't absentee ballots, these are from people who are living outside the united states. They are receiving their own delegates, apart from whichever US state they are (or were) a resident of. Naw, some states have open primaries where democrats, republicans and independants can vote for whoever they choose. Some of those living abroad are on diplomatic missions;^] |

Not unless they do it over, you don't change the rules after the fact, hell Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigen. Simple answer out of fairness, no;^]

Yes. Any American able to "voice" their option should be permitted to do so. Who are we to say whether or not their choice is within rational thought? How do we justify our own rationality in voting? This cannot be measured therefore there is no "rule". As I said before, any American able to "voice" their opinion should be permitted to do so. When I say this, I do not mean physically vocalize their opinion...but in some form, style, or process it has been noted that their thoughts are their own and NOT anyone else's (family member, caretaker, etc)interpetation of who or what they are voting for. Their vote must be theirs and theirs alone...as rational or irrational as we may believe. What about prisoners? Using "able to voice their opinion" as a broad minimum requirement would suddenly allow prisoners to vote. Criminals make a choice to break the law, we have done nothing wrong;^] |

They already do.........and the vote for Hilary! HAAAAAAAAAAA +1!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...but no freeks and tards should not vote. Suck it buddy. Why shouldn't us with illness be able to vote? Not something we have much control over, we are people and citisens too. Are we suddenly unable to have opinions? I'm sorry, but to keep us from voting is absurd and would be opressive;^] |

Does the fact that the ACLU was founded and headed by a devout communist mean anything to you? Once again the liberal socialists are calling the conservatives fascists. The fascists have always been and always will be liberals. Do your homework and check the history books. Not all socialists are communists, Baldwin was publicaly anti soviet union. http://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/unitarians/baldwin.html This is regardless anyhow, the ACLU is a very important orginisation for protecting equal/ civil rights, they helped me fight religious discrimination personaly. When you become the minority and have your rights imposed upon, I somehow think you'll probably seek the help of the ACLU;^] |

Actualy Iraq was a sworn enemy of Al Queda, there was no teaming up there whatsoever nor would Saddam have given them shelter. That's just another one of Bushs lies given the CIA report clearly stated there was no connection;^] I stand corrected...but my assertion of terrorism in the country remains, albeit not the Taliban. Whether or not that terrorism was, or ever would become, international rather than domestic to Iraq is an important point, I think. I can't really give an informed opinion as to whether it would or not. There was definatly terrorism, Saddam relyed heavily on terror tactics to keep people in line. Of course, Al Queda is there now but still only 2% of the enemy. I'm glad to see Saddam gone, but this is truely a sticky situation;^] |

WW2 we really got involved because Japan bombued us, not some faceless terrorist group, an actual country. Again, go to Europe and sit at a cafe in France and watch the Taliban stroll by. Why aren't we attacking France? They have a HUGE population of Taliban there, have since the 70's. Again why aren't we attacking them? Yeah The Taliban run rampant there.. Would love to see those statistics...Im guessing theyre real volcal about it as well...Im also guessing those strolling by have targets on their heads...but then again were talking about France where most cowardly people co-exsist:) European countries are stable and secure countries...regardless of any perceived (or made up) presence of the Taliban there (remember, Muslim does NOT mean Taliban), they are able to control them. Iraq was not only unable to control them, they harbored them and provided them with safe haven. That's the difference. Actualy Iraq was a sworn enemy of Al Queda, there was no teaming up there whatsoever nor would Saddam have given them shelter. That's just another one of Bushs lies given the CIA report clearly stated there was no connection;^] |
