"
Really? We're gonna blame creationism for the 9/11 Terrorist attacks now?
That is one of the most absurd excuses I've ever heard."
actually i believe ellman was pointing out the absurdity of wolf
"somethign=something else= something completely unrelated, therefor i'm right"
and NOT blaming 9/11 on creationists.
althouhg i will state that fundementalist religious intolerance and egocentrism might contribute to the overall political picture the middle east has of america.
"That is the reason there is such a strong Anti-American feeling in the
middle east, because we're seen as the bullies over there, and
throughout much of the world.'
and lots forget israel and america's "unyielding" loyalty.
"Osama Bin Laden got his funding from an oil company, don't quote me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was his families oil company."
to elaborate on that.
practically all investment in the middle east come form oil.
why is saudi arabia capable of runnign such a tight whabbihist ship? oil money.
dubi? oil.
iran? oil.
and when iran tries to wheen itself of oil dependancy, they get held back by political and diplomatic background noise.
"We funded the 9-11 attacks, the ultimate irony."
just like america funded saddam. and the taliban. (since the taliban led a revolt against the former USSR in afganistan.
"I believe once we begin to go green with solar powered cars, homes,
buildings, and wind powered homes, buildings, The world will be a
better place for everybody."
and don't forget thew huge market of genetically modified super algae producing your diesel.
"Going green would make America safer, as we would not have to rely on
rogue and irrational middle eastern nations. They're funding for
Nuclear war heads and terrorist groups would be cut off, and eventually
cease to exist."
unfortunately that would also cut of the fundign and jobs for most of the people there...leadign to massive civil unrest and possibly even more food for extremism. the middle east needs to get out of the oil business...slowely.
"Explain to me how that is acceptable?"
because most people could care less if they live a confortable life.
who cares about the chinese sweashop labour, child slaves picking cacao in afrika. blood diamonds, deforestation, rising sea levels.
who woudl care all about those things when you have your wide screen tv, insanely fast internet and a confortable hoem with a loving family.
humans are a social creature...but only to a certain scale.
"
This is one of the very reasons I support the Tea Party,
we can't trust big government to make all our decisions, because their decisions are putting the American people in danger."
unfortunately there a problem pops up.
if you haven't got an overall narrative, what is to stop infighting and endless stalling due to multiple parties bickering about policy.
or to put it into a simple example. wouldn't you think that obama could have gottern his healthcare reform around a lot faster if it weren''t for all the republican opposition. or lets replace that with buying GM to produce electric cars, to get the US ona green electrical net.
"A return to neutrality and relative and friendly isolationism would benefit the entire world."
NO. isolationism IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
just look at the runup to WW I and WWII.
however global policing won't work either.
global commitment and improved cooperation however will.
"A return of (proper) powers to the states, which have been ripped away
by big government, would drastically decrease the trillion dollar debt
we hold, and make America more manageable."
it would only make it more manageble on the state level. on the US level, it's more likely to rip apart the cohesion.
i can already here texas cecide....O_O
"My plan, is to restore America to it's roots, and I'm not the only one who shares it."
will you explain to me exactly what roots you mean here? because america has a few really narrly roots, and is longer in the position it once was (no roaring twenties or massive war industry this time round).
