We need to act to restore greatness, through education and reason.<BR/><BR/>Tina, I believe that we can end this nightmare; the arrogance of Bush and Cheney over Libby might be their undoing.<BR/><BR/>Sumo, sadly, Bush's legacy will live a long time - as the worst President ever. His legacy lives in the Supreme Court, with the highly political Justices he appointed. Those Justices put a narrow political ideology ahead of the Constitution.<BR/><BR/>Coffee, they had vision. They had hope. They were not cynical.<BR/><BR/>Robin, for a nano-second, I thought Barak Obama was that person. But he is proving himself to be a cynical opportunist, and he no longer impresses me.DivaJoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534571327558009753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-32603868023245798972007-07-04T07:26:00.000-07:002007-07-04T07:26:00.000-07:00What I love about this piece is that Sorenson says...What I love about this piece is that Sorenson says exactly what I long to hear from a true leader.

Sadly, I don't feel much like celebrating this year.<BR/>Maybe it has a whole lot to do with all that defecating on our nation and Constitution since the yr 2000. <BR/>And maybe it has something to with our Dems sitting on their asses while the defecating goes on.<BR/>Anyhoo... happy holiday.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472987991553964064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-15621494234058369812007-07-03T19:22:00.000-07:002007-07-03T19:22:00.000-07:00I am reading and reading, just trying to catch up ...I am reading and reading, just trying to catch up to what I've missed and I find that thing are still the same. <BR/><BR/>It's sad to say that we are in these times of feeling like we are a forgotten, unwanted and used people in this country. <BR/><BR/>This is because we allowed our country to be taken over by a nut and his crazy followers. <BR/><BR/>Because of what happen yesterday, then taking a look around. I cannot belive that we still have a force of people not caring. <BR/><BR/>There is three sides here... Bush and his nutty followers, those that have seen the light and those that do not care and just following anything. <BR/><BR/>Right now I do not know if anything or anyone can restore honor and dignity to this Nation. <BR/><BR/>Maybe time and change.LET'S TALKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073006900180885164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-74466918633081799752007-07-03T19:12:00.000-07:002007-07-03T19:12:00.000-07:00Is the United States An Empire?Definition of an Em...Is the United States An Empire?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Definition of an Empire: <BR/><BR/>A nation-state that dominates other nation-states and exhibits one or more of the following characteristics: <BR/><BR/>1) Exploits resources from the lands it dominates<BR/><BR/>2) Consumes large quantities of resources in amounts that are disproportionate to the size of its population relative to those of other nations<BR/><BR/>3) Maintain a large military that enforces its policies when more subtle measures fail<BR/><BR/>4) Spreads its language, literature, art, and various aspects of its culture throughout its sphere of influence<BR/><BR/>5) Taxes not just its own citizens, but also people in other countries<BR/><BR/>6) Imposes its own currency on the lands under its controlLarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557503536810926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-60815478821899681822007-07-03T17:00:00.000-07:002007-07-03T17:00:00.000-07:00Larry, it astonishes me that in the 21st Century, ...Larry, it astonishes me that in the 21st Century, we have to fight again for what made this nation great.
