Preemptive action... I'm all for planning ahead, but chasing ghosts and attacking a country for what might happen is not a good reason.

So true, Nora.

Saddam was NOT an ally of Al Qaeda.

Warren, I hate war and fighting. I also love America, and I would hate it if it was destroyed.

Great. Let's hear it for costly, preemptive wars.

Yeah, it'd be easier... immoral and horrible and evil, but sure it would be EASIER! Ugh, this man scares me sometimes.

I agree with this statement, though I can't believe it's coming from the same person who said "No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God."

Bravo, M. from Nashville! But, aside from my personal feelings toward Andrew Jackson, I'm afraid I must disagree with this statement. Religion should have no official place in government, other than as a listed right of the people.

Eew. Please tell me this quote had a purely humorous intent.

Respectfully, I disagree with this quote (not actually from Mr. Brandwein, but whatever). I am a Christian, but that's not the point. I don't think every child who believes in God is mentally ill. That's like saying every child who's had one-sided propaganda shoved down his throat is mentally ill (which would make every child on Earth a mental patient).

Isn't it the government's duty to serve the people, to supply them with the things they need?

Unfortunately, people claiming to be friends of freedom do their share of shouting and shooting.

I tend to agree with Greenburg. The Second Amendment has been taken out of context.

I think the entire world would be better off without weapons, but why should just the people who resist us disarm? Shouldn't our country disarm, too?

So true!

I also agree with Me Again.

Joe, with all respect, I would appreciate it if you would stop with the name-calling.

I think it's more important to express yourself than it is to "conform and be dull," even if society expects conformity. If, however, a person's individual beliefs coincide with the rest of society's, than by all means conform. Also, Joe, I don't think anyone likes the Patriot Act.

So true. I agree with Susi from Jeffersonville.

Yeah, bring political parties into this. BOTH parties are Keynesian assholes. So stop touting one party of the other as the people who ''earn their bread''.

As true today,as it was all those years ago!

That man was extremely intelligent...

Idle people are foolish because they know they could do better for themselves but don't. They need to help themselves!

IT IS STUPID, STINKS AGREE WITH DAVE WILBER
