I just joined because I saw this thread
Lord dubya is the WORST one yet. I used to say Nixon... not any more.
Why?
a) We have hundreds of thousands in Iraq. What have we accomplished? We captured Saddam, but has terrorism increased or decreased? I'd think the former. A civil war is coming. And Iran might invade. With nukes.
b) Back to the US... no matter how many lies are programmed into you, the economy was down. The DOW was over 11K under Clinton. It is under that now and has been worse before now
c) Schools are a MESS. I live in Texas (Austin), the Emperor's breeding ground. I am blessed enough to live in an excellent school district. However, I have GOBS of homework to acheave that. AND I'm only in 7th grade! The reason? Because of No Child Left Behind, standardized tests reign free (TAKS test 'round these parts). However, our education rates our dead. These tests DON'T WORK. I recently took the SAT test via the Duke TIP program. Now, that's a good test. We should be modeling standardized tests off of reasoning tests.
d) Healthcare? What's that?
e) Why do we need to dictate religion to un-religous people
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
Has anyone bothered to read our constitution? Especially the 1st amendment! No DUH!
At my school (remember I live in Texas) I am THE class liberal. I guess there are two others in my grade, but I am the most politically active.
And BTW, I am a Christian.
