I'll take Four Phenomena first:
My business (and just about every other business) is taking off because of the Bush tax cuts. If you want to close your eyes to a good economy, fine. I'll continue to bank while you bitch about it. If you want to talk about jobs, you can blame your own party. High taxes, environmentalists, lawsuits, and unions sent those jobs overseas. Those fine things you can lay solely at the feet of liberals.
I got no problem with gays. I DO have a problem with giving them marital status. That is for couples who can bear children. Letting anybody marry would collapse the whole point of marriage as a concept.
Sudan? You DO know that Clinton was presiding during a lot of the Sudanese civil war? Yeah. We fucked up and let people be slaughtered. Blaming that on the democrats OR republicans is just irresponsible. Blaming it on the UN would be more in line with the facts. They refused to do anything about it while the slaughter was going on.
China abuses it's people, yes. And, it has nukes. It also has a little place called Hong Kong that is changing the country from within. Capitalism is the future for China. Bank on it.
Kurds? Yup. They were slaughtered. You blame that on Bush? Maybe you should take a look at what the UN was saying at the time. The UN insisted that removing Iraqi troops from Kuwait was all that was mandated. I believe it was a mistake to pull out. But, that is all hindsight now. Funny you forget what an uproar the Libs made when it was even suggested that Saddam be removed from power.
Rwanda? Ummmm That was Clinton as president. I guess he didn't care about them, either. The UN Security counsel did nothing, either. And, you wonder why this Administration holds the UN in contempt? The UN is about the most corrupt body politic on the planet. You can lay millions of deaths at their feet. Should the US have stepped in? Hell yes! But, people like you would have fought tooth and nail against saving those people.
If you had an education, you would know that unions work contrary to capitalizm. It's practically legal extortion. There was a need for unions before we had equitable pay-scale laws and the minimum wage. Now all they do is drive up the costs of merchandise and send our manufacturing jobs overseas. Don't believe me? Write a letter to one of the larger manufacturing companies and ask them. They will be happy to give you their opinion.
Ummmm Today's news headlines should tell you what is happening in N. Korea. They are caving. Like the rest of the dictator nations. Read it and weep.
It's funny how liberals in America want equal rights for everybody but are willing to let half the population of the world go without. Nice. I see the compassion. The fact is that we now have an administration that is willing to do the hard thing and to remove these governments from power. You talk about these dead people, but if it were suggested we move troops in to help them, you would be dead-set against it. The hypocracy is evident.
Now, Moog:
Just your statement that G. Bush (1st) AUTHORIZED the gassing of the Kurds makes anything else you say moot. You are an idiot if you think that Bush authorized that. Even stating something like that shows your stupidity and hatred. If it was a typo, fine. Anything else is just bullshit.
And, as to parenting...... I see people who have a $300,000 house, 3 cars, a boat, and a nice expensive vacation send their children to day care and wonder why they turn out idiots. Maybe if the priorities were to raise the child instead of aquiring wealth, we would have better parenting and better children. Anybody who sends their child to day-care to be raised by total strangers deserves the child they end up with. These are the same parents who bitch and moan about video games when their kids do something stupid. They aren't parenting, they are providing. There is a big difference.
Those were two big posts, so remind me about what I missed and I will be happy to debate it's merits with you peeps.
