Yet that says nothing about Clinton's second-highest defecit...which was almost $300 billion.
Clinton cut the deficit in HALF.

So now we need the international community?

How did we get so far without Europe?
We haven't gotten anywhere without Europe.

Those peace protesters seem pretty vehement that they oppose war, in general. Not only that, it would be another unilateral war - your eternal contradiction.
For the 4th time (hopefully you'll get it this time), I don't want war with ANYONE. I said that if our President HAD to go to war with either Iraq, North Korea, or Iran, I would've supported one for North Korea over Iraq or Iran.

Quote:
Really? Gulf War, anyone?
My point exactly. Why does it take 2 wars to accomplish a 'goal?'

Quote:
And w/o public support? What about World War I, when Wilson was re-elected on the principle that he would keep us out of "Europe's War?"
The public support theory was created during the main war of protest, Vietnam.

Really? I, and apparently from the PM's I receive, alot of other people, seem to think I'm doing a fine job, thanks. Though constructive criticism is always welcome.
Raise your hand, wait for me to call on you, and say, "Pat, do you care?"

Gee, since he hasn't been busy with the worst terrorist attack on our soil in our nations history and a two front war.
If you really want to call Afghanistan a war, ok. FDR dealt with Pearl Harbor. I think fighting off Japan, Nazi-Germany, and Italy is a lot harder then fighting Iraq and a couple of terrorists in Afghanistan. Maybe Bush should send some more troops into Afghanistan, since only 11,000 remain. Afghanistan's heroin supply is now at RECORD numbers.

Yet their economic principles with regards to the way they ran the government echo that of Marxist ideology. So they can "loath" whatever they want - their systems are extensions of the original communist doctrine.
No, no, wait a minute. You didn't even mention just the economy in your first post about it. You said they communists, I have to disagree. Mussolini blamed Italy's problems on communism and Hitler blamed Germany's problems on Jews and communism.

Maybe not. Maybe so. If someone raped your daughter, how would you feel about it?
Is it his first offense? What are the conditions? Just for your info, even if someone in my family was killed by someone on purpose, I wouldn't want them killed. I'd want them to go to prison for life with no chance of parole.

I guess John Kerry and Ted Kennedy can take their collective ball and go home, and we can stop paying their salaries, cause the world is going to end; there's no point.
Ok..I was complimenting Bush there. I don't see the need for that comment.

My comment on the "flourishing" economy was facetious
Just like my comment on the classes.

You apparently feel that, regardless of the crime (except for murder), regardless of how henious or destructive, there should be rehab and no prison.
Yes sir.

Quote:
Where is the motivation to NOT commit a crime? "Oh man, homes, we'd better not do that - they'll give us 6 months in rehab for sure!" I see alot of dealers quivering in their boots.
Do you think that prisons or jails have no rehab?

One more insult and this discussion is over.

Really? Whatever happens if some gay guy gives blood, and it has HIV? And it gets through the filters (as it has in the past). And you get it. How are you going to feel.
Are you one of those people who believe that gays started the HIV virus? The same thing could happen with a hetero sexual.

Quote:
It's like the abortion argument. Society would rather ignore a morally wrong act because of convenience, and call it a "right," while ignoring the rights of others.
A fetus and embryo don't have a right. The woman carrying it does has the right.
