If we nationalize health care, shouldn't we do the smae with food?
Q. One of the great scandals of our age is the fact that America spends more on food than any other nation. Many political leaders are now calling for urgent reform to bring spending on food under control. Even worse, while the result of this uncontrolled spending includes the fact that many Americans are overweight, some Americans do not have enough to eat. Leading liberal candidates now point to what they see as the heart of the problem: corporate "greed" in the form of grocery stores and restaurants operating on a for-profit basis. They promise to replace all private grocery stores with a national system of government commissaries, which will allegedly operate far more efficiently without the administrative overhead required to make a… [cont.]

A. That would be the death of every democrat politician and their party would be outlawed. And I don't mean a political death, I mean bullets flying at them death. That would convince us that Obama is a communist and not a socialist.

re these the main reasons that we have a large military even though the cold war is over and our excuse gone?
Q. "Throughout the twentieth century and into the beginning of the twenty-first, the United States repeatedly used its military power, and that of its clandestine services, to overthrow governments that refused to protect American interests. Each time, it cloaked its intervention in the rhetoric of national security and liberation.

A. I guess it's because half the world either wants us all dead or they want to exploit our resources. I can't think of any reason other than that.

A. PK. You quote a couple of left wing radicals and think you have entirely explained your position. Well, your position is not defended by those silly quotes, and your position is totally WRONG! 1) You state "the war is over." Which war are you referring to? The Iraqi War? The War in Afghanistan? Our country is fighting at least 2 wars, and you innocently (?) state, "the war is over." Try telling that to the mother whose son was shot and killed today. Try telling that to the widow with 2 or 3 children whose husband was shot and killed in the last day or two. Try telling that to the veteran who just came home in a wheel chair because he has had both his legs blown off by a land mine. Yeah, the war may be over for you, but for all… [cont.]
