What are you talking about? How am I kidding myself? I know there are crazies on both sides of the "political spectrum." I was just making the general assesment that the far left controls--or at least seem to think that they do--the Democrat party. The far right--the term, I think is "Neo-facist"--doesn't really control the Republican party.

I'm not blindly following any idealogues.

Well, basically, the conservative philosophy says that if you tax the rich, the hard working, prosperous people who own all the big companies, and especially if you tax the companies themselves, then you're essentially discouraging prosperity. If a company is paying 50% of their income in taxes, then that is fifty perscent less that they might have had to start a new factory, a new place to creat jobs. Obviously, the inverse is also true. If they have more money, they can do more with it. Invest it. You sow what you reap, and if you have more to sow, then you'll reap more, and other people will be able to get a job.

It seams to many--I am not saying that this is fact--that the Democrat party in America, the far-"left" as they are called in the news are totally obsessed with power and control. The leftists seem to want a welfare state, where money is redistributed rather than earned. If you tax the rich and give to the poor continually, then you'll eventually end up with nothing, because you take away the incentive to make money, which is essentially Communism.

Again, this could be largely exagerated. But it is fact that the government as an abysmal track-record at dealing with social issues. You can't simply throw money at a problem to solve it. It doesn't work that way. If you are moved by a problem, then give to a charity--one you know has a good record at fixng things. The problem with liberalism that I see is that it wants to make everybody depentent on the government for their day to day existence; conservatives belive that the government shold make laws, enforce them, and provide for national services and defense, but not provide for the people.

Have you ever hear them praise Kerry so much, to such extent as you do? Admit it Darth Chaltab, you even said once that Bush is more handsome than Kerry! LOL I'll bet there will be a long line of butt-kissers standing outside White House if the Bush wins.


I never remember saying that Bush was more handsome than Kerry. I thought I was the one that said appearances were less important than content of a campaing message and a moral compass.

The only remark I ever made about Kerry's appearance was that he looks like a corpse because the Botox makes his face stiff, which was just in reply to someone else's (Rebel Rouser, I think) comment that Bush looked like a "chimp." I wasn't even being all that serious.

So, know that I am not "praising" Bush. There are quite a few of his policies that I disagree with, such as the ease of outsourcing jobs, but I also believe that Kerry's economic policies would be far more disasterous than any thing in Bush's plan, and that the War against Terrorism is more important than anything else Kerry is complaining about. All presidents have strengths and weaknesses... except Reagan and Lincoln, who are unfortunately no longer with us.

I just tend to support the cantidate I think will be a better president.

Coming from Texas doesn't make you stupid. Is it not equally stupid to discredit someone's intelligence based on their accent? What if Einstein had been Texan rather than Judeo-German? Would it make him stupid to have an accent or to misspeak? At least Bush is honest about it.

I hate veganism.

In Oz we have the RSPCA, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. These people are true saints.

I love Kittens too.


My father gets US news magazine. On the back of the last few issues, it has shown the cover of a comic that PETA actually distributes to children with a bloodied, frightened rabbit cowering under a fifties-style house-wife wearing a bloody apron and holding a knife, and in big red letters, it says "YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS." 'tis quite disturbing. See it here.
