Why 'adolescent America' has to grow up 03:28am on 27 Oct 2009
Why 'adolescent America' has to grow up 03:14am on 27 Oct 2009 USA, Please do not grow up and get set in your ways!!
You are the most caring & charitable society on Earth!!
Believe it or not! Because you find the good in other people and want to help out other people. Just this month my daughter's 5th grade class raised $782 to buy 2 water buffalos and three goats for a tribe in Africa! As Alistair Cooke and Justin Webb discovered, we really do care! Once you look past the media and government rhetoric, you see the heart and soul that lends you the shirt off our back and even our sons to help out if necessary. What Earthly Good would America be if she wasn't the way she is? Yes we frustrate those who wish we would see things their way. I guess you can have an equally powered America, lamenting at the pub with you about the power of China.
As Billy Joel sings "Don't go Changin'..."
Will Wall Street slashers impress Main Street ? 04:52am on 22 Oct 2009 Since the Gov't bailed them out, they (We the people), have every right to tell the bosses how much they should make. We should have never bailed them out in the first place, they should be out of a job like alot of people! But here we are, and now you see why Ford Motors said "No Thanks!" to Obama's cash in hand. What does this mean for the working man? That your children really are in danger of living under a theocracy, the religion of environmentalism and social justice. And removing risk, creating socialism, by uber-regulating, the free market. There is no in between, either we have a free market economy, or we don't, just alot of sentimental tears as it fades away... And to remind you of the definition of Socialism, The best of the worst, and the worst of the best...
A prize deserved? 04:57am on 10 Oct 2009 #123 I agree the bottom line is Nucear Proliferation! That certainlys separates the "men from the boys!" But current policies of hindsight and why didya's from the AG, make this a mute point. We are armless in this battle...
A prize deserved? 04:24am on 10 Oct 2009 #5 Ofelas; you really summed it up! While the good intentions of the Nobel committee praised an individual with good intentions, I just wonder why they didn't acknowledge a current accomplishment. But then a thought came, they are adept at reading the tea leaves and foresee nothing but future quagmire and indecision on the part of this administration. So praise now, and then say "too bad" next year. And "Good thing we didn't wait..."
While the rest of US says "God, Help us!"

And #113 If achieving the goals of Freedom and Democracy by winning the cold war are not worthy of recognition to Ronald Reagan, by a Country such as Norway, whom still benefits from that achievement, then it should be renamed to the "Nobel Prize of Warm Fuzzy Significance”. Even if it is not renamed, it has been relegated to a monetary award for “Isn’t that nice?”
Has the Iranian fist unclenched? 08:06am on 02 Oct 2009 #37 allmymarbles
For your insight, I too have spent a great deal of my professional life in the Middle East! But I have conlcuded that I am despised and worthy of death for being different. (i.e. not subject to Mohammed). That pretty much sums up current disagreements with the West, although they would like us to keep on talking... The "media hype" I listen to actually leans to the left and seems to ignore the wolf at the door. But because I have drawn a different conclusion, you assume I listen only to Rush and Beck...
Has the Iranian fist unclenched? 07:32am on 02 Oct 2009 So Obama waits (sorry, negotiates)? Sir, we feel you should sit on your hands while these fanatics, whom have already overthrown their government, and have taken hostage American Professors, albeit over a few years (doesn't that sound better?), dictate to you their agreement to "talk" about the possibility of letting us have a peak at what they are really up to. We know they would never intend to hurt us, but have disagreements with some neighboring countries. So sit back, worry about the Olympics going to Chicago and see what these self professed, Israel, American, and West hating whackos will agree to let us, "the West" intervene in their business...
Has the Iranian fist unclenched? 07:08am on 02 Oct 2009 Could we Contain an Iran Nuclear Weapon? Pull your head out of the sand. Stop listening to Brian Williams and company! You are in as much Danger as Israel and American Forces in Iraq and Aphganistan!!!
Did you forget that New York City and Washington D.C. were attacked?!?
Has the Iranian fist unclenched? 06:56am on 02 Oct 2009 #24 There's the gamble! It doesn't matter what "we want" Iran will seek mischief either way. A direct attack would remove the possibilty of them getting a viable nuke in the near future, and allow the neighboring countries to stand a chance, and perhaps your children in the not too distant future. They are playing a weak hand, what are we giving away?
Has the Iranian fist unclenched? 06:27am on 02 Oct 2009 #20 There is always a viable military option! The Ace of Spades Trumps all else! In case you haven't noticed, or have only been watching NBC, Iran has long been trying to destabilize Iraq with insurgents and causing problems! Why would they want that to be a success for the USA? And the current administration appears to be ready to fold...
