So.. people in the middle east live by the way their religion tells them to. And Bush is trying to do the same things to Americans only because he believes in it.

So what's the difference between those extremists and Bush? Cause I can't really tell.

Why don't you try being president of a country split right down the middle? I think when it came down to it, if you had two sides screaming in your ears, you'd do what felt right to you. That's how we all live our lives...we make descisions based on what we believe and do our best to do what feels right. That's all anyone can ask.

*Ledi*

Ever heard of separation of state and church?

He cannot force his beliefs on the whole country just because he thinks/feels it's right. Because not everyone believes in the same things he does.


He uses the name of God about everything he does. For the war in Iraq too. And isn't that what those terrorists do as well? They say they're doing everything in the name of God. So there's no difference between them. Except that Bush's God is Christian and the other one is Muslim.

In case you hadn't noticed, our pledge of allegence says "one nation, under GOD." That's not bush talking. That is the very FOUNDATION of our nation.

Oh. I don't know. We haven't been kidnapping civilians, and chopping their heads off? We don't have a country where one person can make all the decisions, or one religious group. Bush is the president, yes. That does not mean he does whatever he wants. He still needs approval of other branches of the government who if they felt strongly enough could try and take action to stop him.

*Ledi*

Yeah.. you just tell people what to do with their lives. And there's people to stop Bush? Who's going to stop him? Most of Republicans seem to be brainwashed by Religion just as he is [I'm in no way saying that believing is a bad thing.. but there should be a limit]... so consider them as a "religious group" cause they're the same. And yeah Bush doesn't do whatever he wants.. [as I've said a million times] he just tells you how to live your life. But that's no big deal right? Yeah, no biggie.

Exactly. GWB may have his faults but he is not a terrorist. Of course he can't do what EVERYONE wants him to do because EVERYONE wants him to do something different.

*Ledi*

The list of his faults is too long. And he's not a terrorist? I beg to differ. If I'm not mistaken, it's because of him that so many people have died and are still dying in Iraq.

WTF?????

We are a country founded on the SEPARATION of church and state. British settlers came her to have the freedom to practice their religion as they want

If you guys in Utah want to tell everyone how to worship, you should break off and form your own country, because that's not what he do here in the U.S.

Your posts are so insanely mindless that we shouldn't bother to respond.

Telling and making is one thing. Everyone tries to tell other people how to live. Every single politician who has ever made a policy decision is in some way trying to tell people how to live. Don't even try to pretend that you can be in a position of executive power and make decisions that will not effect the way people live.

And there is a difference between terrorism and war. People were dying before we went to Iraq. I hardly think it's entirely his decision that this is happening. Congress approved it. His advisors approved it. This was not a one man decision. Someone came up with the proposal, gave it to him, and he and his advisors approved it.

Damn Ledi! You poor thing...you have it so bad. You live in a country that can read and write whatever you want. It must really suck to be so limited in what you can do with your life! You have to suffer everyday through the knowlege that if you say one word against your evilpresident, his henchmen will hunt you down, kill you, and torture your family...all the freedom you enjoy must really chap your ass.

*Ledi*

Yeah after he told a bunch of lies on the Congress so they would approve it.

And religion is a CHOICE. And it should be left at that, and NOT forced at all.

Katis

Everyone needs to take a deep breath and take a step back. You're all close to the line regarding personal attacks.

Because congress was completely unable to do any research on their own? Please, these are not a bunch of little children running around knowing nothing but what he told them. They were able to make their own choices and they made them.

*Ledi*

I don't think you even know what you're saying.

I can only stand so much ignorance.
