Bush didn't know there were two sects of Isma
Yawn...
Ambassador claims shortly before invasion, Bush didn't know there were two sects of Islam http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Am...Bush_0804.html "Galbraith reports that the three of them spent some time explaining to Bush that there are two different sects in Islam--to which the President allegedly responded, “I thought the Iraqis were Muslims!”" Yeah, this guy Bush is da' bomb! Woohoo! Woop Woop!

I imagine he knows now. I'm guessing that a lot of American weren't aware that there were two sects of Islam. I didn't. Heck, I'm willing to bet that there might be even more, at least in practice, particulary as you get away from the ME. GWB was chosen and groomed for his position as president. Being of an incurious nature, as I understand it, there was a lot of foreign affairs he needed to be brought up to speed on. It's not surprising when the previous governance experience he had was in a state where the legislature meets every other year.

I think you are really GWB posting under a fake name.
Mike,
I think you are really GWB posting under a fake name. This guy can do no wrong, huh? I thought I drank all the koolaid! Lol. Come join us (non-neo-cons) in the light. Republican state senator joins Democratic Party http://ap.ardmoreite.com/pstories/st...77090196.shtml Or would you rather stay with Cheney on the "dark side" as he has said himself. Do a google search if you don't remember this one. Why are you defending the indefensible? What's in these wars for you personally? Do you feel safer with no "beefed up" port nuclear/chemical plant, border or airport securtry? Do you want the UAE running our sea ports? Sorry Steven. I don't get this. It's like you will accept anything from this guy. What would he have to do to loose your support? Seriously? Sell crack to babies while shooting people from his Hummer? Lol. Peace.

Are you a Neo-Con or not???
Just curious how we see ourselves politically.
I am NOT a neo-con. Lol. I'm a proud liberal, progressive and sometimes radical. I have no problem stating that. So? For those who are unsure of the definition... Neo_con: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-con Liberal: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search Conservative: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ve&btnG=Search Moderate: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...te&btnG=Search Let's come out of the shadows and identify ourselves. I have nothing to hide, do you?

Neo-Rad, that is what you are....and that is worse than even a far right conservative. BTW, Neo-Con is a term that is primarily used by the opponents of conservatism, such as yourself. It is not an identified position, nor even an identified party. Neo-Con does NOT exist except in the minds of those very much against, and often afraid of, the far right wing. This term is erroneous and primarily used as a scare tactic. I see big problems with both Neo-Rad (or Neo-Lib) and Neo-Con positions. People who have fit this bill have tried to force their countries (and even regions) to believe in their way and only their way. That's bad. The more appropriate choice for any country is to be a moderate, one that believes in the right of others to have their own opinions, beliefs, and yes, even often electing a leader that folks don't like. BTW, not that I much care, but whom would you rather have as President and Vice President. Steven |

Josh,
You seem to think a lot of things about me, my president, and my country that are completely untrue. So I will try to enlighten you knowing that you do not want to hear what I say and will call me names and tell me I live in the dark side and am a neo-con (that wikipedia article is so bizarre I have no idea what it means) and basically I am talking to a brick wall with the amount of what I will say you will absorb.

Too lazy to do your research?
Wow.
And you say I need anger management? Lol. I wasn't calling you a racist, I do believe however that there are racist/classist policies in place by this "administration" right now in 2006. You still haven't done your own research and determined if you are a Neo-con or not? This isn't complicated. Read for yourself tough guy. You're just dodging the question or are too lazy to do your research from your source of choice. Get on it! Lol. As for, "Gee Josh, unless I am mistaken, we already have this in California. There is this thing called an emergency room" That is the LEAST compassionate thing I heard in a long while. Are you spiritual in any way? Got a conscience? At least you are honest about your lack of care for people worse off than yourself. Keep talking, have a drink or three, let's talk some more. Let's hear how you really feel. Lol. FYI, not all radicals kill. Ever read about the 60s? There are many ways of being "radical". Ask the skateboarders. Lol. There are those even today who consider being gay or race mixing "radical". Why do you protect Bush from taking responsibility from the carnage he has caused in rediculous war in Iraq? This war is a failure much like everything else Bush has touched throughout his life. This man has accomplished nothing noteworthy on his own. If he weren't a Bush, he'd be a petty criminal, or worse, IMHO. Peace.

What I am is a realistic libertarian. I want the government out of my life as much as possible. But sometimes, the government needs to be there, I understand that, but get rid of 90% of the government and I would be thrilled. Mike |

I would like to see a third party candidate...
Hi Steven,
"I see big problems with both Neo-Rad (or Neo-Lib) and Neo-Con positions. People who have fit this bill have tried to force their countries (and even regions) to believe in their way and only their way. That's bad." No my way or the highway. How about fair and open elections again? How about freedom of speech and the press again? I'd be cool with that as a start. I believe the people get the government they deserve... unless the elections are hijacked. "The more appropriate choice for any country is to be a moderate, one that believes in the right of others to have their own opinions, beliefs, and yes, even often electing a leader that folks don't like. " I have no problem with this if there are fair and honest elections, like in Canada for example. "BTW, not that I much care, but whom would you rather have as President and Vice President." If you don't care. Don't waste my time and yours. But I would like to see a third party candidate, maybe a moderate from each party running together to help heal our country. Not sure though we would agree on who the moderates are. Peace.
