22. bingo !
No other country is more of a threat to us than right wing USA. Its already killed our good name and repuation around the World, driven us into bankruptcy, destroyed our military, turned citizens into terrorists, spied on personal lives and bank records, lied us into non winnable wars, made the world hate us. There isnt another country on Earth that could do this to us. Only the right wing could make us implode like they have and do it under the guise of patriots who only want whats right for us.

15. The republicans are destroying us from within
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 07:22 PM by me b zola
All of the little gop-bot voters who are cheerleading for all of the changes that are being made to our country by the neocons will wake up one day and regret will not begin to describe what they will be feeling.

A few of the things that RWers now are cheerleading that they will come to regret:

~rw judges that rule the way (they think)that they want

~dismantling of social programs--the privatization of services

~the destruction of seperation of church & state

~tax system that favors the wealthy & corporations

~destruction of our civil liberties



These fools who refuse to wake up continue to enable the destruction of our country from within.

16. To quote Pogo: "We have met the enemy and they are us."
And to quote Mencken:

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H.L. Mencken

30. N. Korea. Bush/Rummy vs. Jong Il is a very sketchy scenario.
Both leaders are unstable, imo, neither can work with the international community, and both control a nuclear weapon capability. That's not a good mix.
