>>"The same communists and socialists who were in charge fifty years ago are no longer in charge either. But that doesn't mean the idea is dead. "
Optimistic aren't we?
I can't help to think that the current U.S. Administration is able or at least willing to turn things around.
Are they doing everything right? - NO
I certainly have problems with some of their decisions. However, they at least have the potential to move the world back to a more stable and positive direction. It won't be today and they have many battles at home to fight just to get to the point where they can make a change.
BTW, 50 years ago communism and socialism weren't proven utter failures that we recognize today. Those ideas are not dead. But they are coughing up blood.

As I said, your whole mindset is that of a liberal. Go to DU and be with friends.

Some people are willing to accept a corrupt governments OK as a reason to kill.You are either in denial or you think that we are incapable of knowing a liberal when we see one.

What's a matter kid? Lacking the attention that you need from your parents?! I got a great idea why don't you get a life and stop trying to act like you actually have any a clue of what your talking about.

Talking with you is like talking to a three year old who isn't getting their way.
It's a waste of time and effort.
Enjoy yourself , it appears you have a good grip on things..............

The "current" administration is persuing the same ends as the elites they work for have persued for decades.
"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions , begun at a distinguished period , and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers ( administrations ) , too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery."
Thomas Jefferson
Put a different face in the Whore House and give it a different name and the people will swallow it.
Hitler said "Tell a lie long enough and people will believe it."

America , land of Free Speech ( unless someone doesn't like what you have to say ). Does FREEDOM really ring in America , or is it just a myth? Free speech? Here's the 1st Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Please tell me what you see in there that requires any of the following:
1. My purchase of iced tea.
2. My purchase of concert tickets
3. My purchase of compact discs
4. My self-censoring my own disagreement with the Chick's stand on the war.
5. Lipton's continuing their business relationship with the Chicks in the exact same form it was before the war.
First it was the Christian's then the Dixie Chicks , you better hope you are not next to realize your economic restraints...
Why don't you go knock on the door of Cassie Bernall's parents and ask them whther the Dixie Chicks are being persecuted just like the Christians. Or better yet, go to a house church in China and ask about it.
For Pete's sake, get informed.

You don't suppose that half the reason for dropping them is that Lipton took one look at that fat pig of a lead singer and decided that she promoted a "healty way of living" about as well as the late John Belushi? She's not so big really, she just looks chubby standing next to those two Doublemint Twins (Thank you, Dennis Miller). Plus, when they were nude on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, everybody knew Natalie had been airbrushed to heck and gone because her belly looked like it came off of Britney Spears.

No matter who owns the companies, if we boycott products made by Americans we are hurting Americans the most. If it says "product of France" on it, boycott it like a rented mule.

I for one, love the Dixie Chicks. Ya'll are too caught up in the rhetoric. they are very patriotic and support our troops. That's good enough for me.You must be smoking your iced tea leaves. Slamming the leader of your nation in a public venue in a foreign nation is considered to be patriotic? Your sense of values are very warped indeed.
To: Eustace
Not mentioning the ones you are losing with a trumped up War on Terrorism. Trumped up? They tried to kill 50,000 of us in one day! Were you asleep?

Seeings how I see Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ as my Lord Right now I'm thinking of your comment about going to war in Iraq, in this thread, post #2:
Hermann Goering said : "Why of course the people don't want war. Voice or no voice , the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked , and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
If we controlled our schools this would be common knowledge , but that wouldn't serve our masters........
Im also thinking about that mass grave they found in Iraq last week. It had about 200 little Kurdish kids in it, buried alive. Some of them were found still holding their dolls. Would the Jesus you present have made any effort to stop or punish that sort of thing or would he be too busy chewing Dubya out for fighting the war on terror in the first place? Would he tell us we're Nazis because we took down a regime that trained hijackers and suicide bombers? You use the words "trumped up" to describe the war that started with Osama's baoys dropping 2 kilotons of combat power into lower Manhattan on a Tuesday morning in an effort to kill 50,000 people. Would your Jesus think it's a trumped up war, too, that those 200 Kurdish kids are just the collateral damage we have to accept for being special-nice-nice-Christians to the torturers of this world?
Amazing he is, the false bootlicker Jesus that some Christians present these days. He whomps moneychangers but lets torturers and terrorists carry on with his tacit blessing.
