Reply to A Possible Path To Victory In 08 For The Democrats in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

An ammendment doing away with the ability of the President to pardon individuals will never happen. There is not a party (take your pick) that would even go along with this ideal. Why?, because it is one of the tools of government which our fore fathers felt was needed to help control things that our own government has a tendency to do to its own citizens. There may be some fool (from either party) who may propose something as stupid as an

Please don't quote me on this; it is just something I heard on the radio about the cost of the iPhone. First is the cost of the phont (as stated already) then comes the contract with the carrier (which has to be paid up front) which is (this is what I understand) somewhere around $750 a year, and the new member must pay for two years ($1500.00 plus the cost of the unit). Again please do not quote this, however, if anyone out there as heard or read an

Reply to Yet Another Crony in Politics JoeUser Forums

There is something else that needs to be thrown into the mix; a Supreme Court Justise does not have to be a lawyer or a judge (or former judge). In fact the president has the right to appointment any citizen to the position. Of course it would have to be approved by the senate; however, if he wanted to appoint Dr. Guy, or even Dabe that is his right under the Constitution. A good example of this is William H. Taft former U.S. President who after lea

I think a great deal is being lost by some of the comments. This is about an idoit talking from the gutter to children (12 year olds) then using the excuse that is how they talk in the scool yard. In this case this is an adult (use the term loosely) who is a revrend, and should understand that such talk from an adult in a classroom environment is not warranted. Just because children use colorful language does not mean that as a teacher, or a

Isn't it sad what we in this country have to put up with. You would think that the states that elect these supposely intelligent individuals would step back and ask themselves do we really need the national shame these fools bring upon us. But, as a historian I can fully state (with no remorse) that the average joe citizen has no conceit that these people even exist. When you really think about it only 6% of the citizens even have a good rea

This wasn't meant to be a slam on Wal-Mart, nor was it meant to be an article on whether Wal-Mart is doing something to other stores. What I am looking for is what you the public thank would happen if Wal-Mart employees decided to go union, and how it would effect those who shop Wal-Mart along with the surrounding communities. Pam

Reply to Wal-Mart and the Unions in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Bakerstreet: Some good insightful points. I live in a small rural area in Idaho, and the Wal-Mart store there in a sense didn't close any mom & pop business (there were none), but it brought in jobs and as you indicated it encured the area around it to grow (fast food, Video Stores, Etc.). This in a way helped a area that was considered depress to show a little grow (though it is still considered depressed). Thanks, Pam

Wal-Mart Food For Thought I am a Wal-Mart shopper. Now that does not mean I approve of how they do business or run their organization. It means I like their prices.

ParaTed2k, Some very excellent points; specically on Mein "Kampf." Hitler didn't care who he offended. And, as you indicated there are books out there that will offend just about anyone regardless of their political ideals. Gideon, I used to use "Walden" as a mild point of view toward the liberal or moderate side of the political sprectum back in my teaching days. It was a book that really setup my view on life a

Reply to Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Dr. Guy No to your question. Even the "Communist Manifesto" in my humble opinion is not a harmful book. Infact it left out a great deal of who would be doing what, and are the people really incharge. It was just a pipe dream of two men. Thomas More was probably chooser to establishing an utopian world than did Marx and Engels in this satire "Utopia". Some would say that Engels based his book on More's "Utopia". <BR

Not really a surprise here. Amnesty International will say anything that will help promote their cause; especially from the left. Also, like your defintion of a "gulag". Hilter was a monster, however, Stalin was worst. Your numbers give a good reading of what life was like in Russia (Soviet Union) during the time before WW II. All in total Stalin up until his death sent to gulags, or elimated over 36,000,000 people during his time as the Soviet le

I am not attempting to check to see if you have read any of these books, only to let you know that as some who has a PHD in History I have read the following: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9. As to why the ultra conservative would think these are bad books is realily simple; they discuss the use of ideals not normally found in a world designed around the ideals of the ultra right. They talk about ideals that are designed to bring down the governments of nati

Zomba; some very good points on the rice and gender card. The only problem at this point (may not be later) is big bad "John McCain." People tend to see him as a kind of liberal republican that would bring together the two parties (I don't see it myself). Put if Rice could force him to back down and give her his support then you would really see a great race. And, this election could have a significance on how the congress is set. If Cli

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!, Let see now: 1. Dems need to move more to the center, and stop using the Hollywood and music stars to push their ideals. 2. Put out a plan of attack that is outlined so that voters have a better ideal of what the Dems are going for. Don't put out a book like the one Kerry/Edwards put out that did nothing more that indicate what the problems are, but with nothing on how to fix those problems. 3. Get off th
