Keep it shiny eh?

What that means, in essence, is that nobody gives a good gorram what some hoodlum warrior chief in Africa who happens to be on the UN Human Rights Commission thinks about how the USA conducts her affairs.

Not a Republican so I frankly don't care. If the Republican Party falls then hopefully that will be a sign that the two party system will end.

I also don't like the 2-party system. Right now, each party has various aspects that disgust me. I side with the democrats because I hate Bush, but I hate their softness on drugs and immigration, and their reluctance to let people have guns.

PS: sorry for the triple-post, I go through and respond to each post I'm gonna respond to. Frankly, I prefer this to an ultra-long post, as is popular in political boards

And the whole "screw the UN" approach is why people from the rest of the world hate us. And then other people can't understand why there's so much America-bashing throughout Europe. UN approval was a good idea because it would've reduced this anger. It's perfectly ok to have think that European nations should mind their own gorram business, but you then have to accept their ill will.

Oh, I finally found where your sig came from. I thought it was from "Safe", but I don't have a photographic memory for scripts

Oh yeah, you, FOX TV!!

Ok, now I have one political thing I have to say. You sir, based on your statements in your previous posts, must be from outside the USA.

First of all, sir or madame, I happen to be a MADAME!

People from other countries, and liberals from the USA, seem to be under the misguided notion that we have to go along with the "recommendations" and "suggestions" of other countries. I, sir, think not. I admit I voted for Bush in 2000, and I also admit I will most likely vote for him again this year. One of the biggest reasons for me voting for him over some Liberal Democrat is he, largely, doesn't feel the need to get a "by-your-leave" from the UN, EU, NATO, or any other organization. IMHO, we in the USA have the right to go with our national interests over the wishes and desires of other nations. What that means, in essence, is that nobody gives a good gorram what some hoodlum warrior chief in Africa who happens to be on the UN Human Rights Commission thinks about how the USA conducts her affairs.

---

I happen to be a Canadian, your nearest neighbour and largest trading partner. And what you are saying saddens me a great deal. This kind of thinking is exactly why ppl the world over are angry at and despise you (I am reluctant to say hate).

Your country does NOT have the right to act unilaterally when your actions have global consequences. Might does not make right.

IMHO, I think we in the USA should become totally isolationist, since all we do is piss off every other country every time we do anything overseas.

---

I could be wrong but maybe that because your country acts unilaterally without consulting neighbouring nations and/or the UN!

Quote:

---

Of course, that would also involve eliminating foreign aid, pulling the thousands of troops we have stationed overseas back to our own borders, and telling the rest of the world to gen hou zi bi diu shi

---

Your industry leaders (in tight with the Bush family) would never permit it. There's too much money to be made. First from all the armaments for tearing down a nation and then from the gov't contracts to build it back up and then, of course, there's all that yummy OIL! I say again, they would NEVER allow it.

Quote:

---

From now on, we could use all the money we save from not sending it out to ungrateful, corrupt international organizations and collapsing military juntas to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless right here in the USA. That would make foreigners and liberals happy. We wouldn't be "interfering" in the affairs of other nations, and we would be fulfilling that do-gooder wish list that all Liberals have handy in their PDAs, in case anyone asks.

---

I can't believe that Liberals are the only ones who dream of feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless! I am sure that right-wingers must have at least a drop of human feeling for those who suffer.

Plus, your gov't has shown many times that they are quite adept at supporting military juntas and corrupt, tyrannical regimes when it suits their own short-term myopic goals. Why, wasn't Hussein himself graced with weapons etc by the last Republican president? And wasn't it the Iranian guys who got the weapons from the one before him?

Ok, that's enough of my speechifying for now. Oh, and off Fox TV.

I quite agree. This thread has nothing but heartache in it for anyone regardless of your political position.

Oh, and uh, apologies for the "sir" thing. I had a 50% chance of being right, and I figured that it'd be best to be polite anyway

I just want to mention that I loved "Canadian Bacon"
