What is the meaning of "separation of church and state?" Is it like most other things and truly can't be defined simply because of the way one interprets concepts differently? Separation of church and state to me is simply defined as politics plus religion equals disater. People speak of Lieberman as a Jew or Bush as a Christian and I simply wonder what difference do

You do state "might not" work. So is it a possibility then that it could work? Four more years of the Bush administraion could work, but it must be known that it will not work. How can you fix something that is wrong, if you won't admit that it needs fixing. Bush does not admit that his choices for the

We never diverted attention from the "War on Terror." All that was accomplished by invading Iraq under the context of fighting terrorism" is spreading the disease of terrorism. At this point also, simply admitting that the U.S. was wrong and trying to work things out on say a diplomatic sense would never amount to anything. America screwed itself with this war because we made a laughing stock of ourselves, created more terrorists, that now we must fig

Sitting beneath a half moon rising In the eastern sky The morning was good floating down the river as rods slipped by We passed the time throughout the midday never stopping to wonder why And here I am in the evening just trying to clear my mind My existence is one moment at peace with the land I can tell my time

October skies up above my darling, my love I keep staring at the moonshine so bright I remember way back when When I saw your face Your eyes shined like diamonds, your lips were like wine It’s so funny how time makes somebody feel And you relive everything It feels so real And you reach back in your mind and reca

About three weeks ago my father was laid off from a company which he had worked at for 26 years. The reason for him being fired was never truly given to him in a straight forward way though they insisted he had done nothing wrong and it was strictly a business decision. Along with my dad, an electrician who is 59 years old and had perfect attendance, and 18 janitors,

Dr. Guy- this is from the blog Left & Right & Partiotism by Draginol: But I think the most politically motivated Kerry supporters, those on the far left, are quite anti-American. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them intentionally choose not to buy American cars simply because they don't want to support an American company (even though their actions are essentially paying to outsource jobs). If that isn't calling Democrats unpatrio

I didn't mean to say that I think the left is unpatriotic. I meant to ask people on the right why they assume the left is unpatriotic. I am a democrat. I agree with you. I hope that clarifies things.

As I look around this site more and more it is very apparent who is left and who is right. What I do not understand is why many people to the right believe that having liberal views is unpatriotic. It just makes no sense to me. I love America. I like John Kerry and I believe Clinton was the best president we have had in recent times. I don't agree with President Bush'

Bakerstreet: The ticket was purchased for me by a friends parents, so yes the ticket was purchased for me just not by me. I do condemn people that act atrociously at a Bush rally. But in fact, I am not one of those people, so it is fair to say that I was mistreated.

Reply to BakerStreet: This is LL's brother again, but I have now joined the site. The fact that you do not believe my story deeply saddens me. I do not even feel bad that I was escorted out of an event that I did have the right to be at because I had a purchased ticket. It is the fact that America is so divided that upsets me. What happened to me was nothing and is easily believable compared to the first hand stories I have heard about f

It does not matter who was right or who was wrong, As far as I am concerned they are both owned by the same people with Bush just being owned by more of them. They are both wrong and at the end of the day it doesn't really matter now does it. All that I can say is that if President Bush is re-elected this country is going to go down the shitter. He can't admit he was wrong, even when he was asked what three things were he would've changed looking back

As I sit back and sip on the second beer on the night, I realize how much in fact I love this beverage. Beer has never let me down. Sure enough, it even really hasn't ever made me make a fool of myself. That's what the bottom of a bottle of whiskey is for. It took me a while to take a liking to beer. In my younger (and of course more wiser years) I often see

Your article is ridiculous. I quote, "As you may have guessed from the preceeding paragraph, most of the juvenile offenders are black." what the fuck is that. Because somebody raises a little hell is it automatically assumed that they are black. No wonder kids no longer respect elders if elders are anything similar to yourself. I am at a loss for words from your ignorance that is prevelant throughout the article. You should be ashamed at ever writing s

It all happened less than a week ago today. I innocently enough was given a ticket to see the President of the United States of America speak at a political function in the neighboring town of mine. Although I agree with none of Mr. Bush's policies, I politely accepted the ticket and set out to attend a Republican function. Before ever even entering the premises where the President
