world domination, Bush Administration

An agenda is a list of topics that will be discussed, at a meeting for example.  To set the agenda in a political or social sense is to have the ability to determine what topics are being discussed.  A good example is the homeless.  There were just as many homeless people in the Carter administration, before Reagan became president, and just as many after the Clinton administration came to power.  However, for some reason, be it the mainstream media or political activists or whatever, it was only when Republicans occupied the White House that the problem of homelessness was treated as a national crisis.

I don't think anyone really knows for sure that is their intent.  But best guess and what everyone knows about the government would be that is probably their intent, yes.  All signs seem to be pointing that way.

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

For some it's:\n\nGrand old Party \nGod's own Party or even\nGet out and Push \n\nFor others like me it's:\n\nGovernment of the People\n\nThis latest description is most closely associated with the republican theme that the people can best govern themselves.

The question should be, What don't they control?

Unless someone can shift the focus (or Congress can pass a compromise bill), Border Security and the Iraq occupation (both terrorism issues) will probably dominate the political landscape. \n\nSomething *has* been done about health care and social security in the most recent term; making it more of a local issue. If people in the district are extremely for or against the recent reforms, it will play locally. Abortion will also have play locally; but unless there's a ramp-up in the anti-abortion forces, or another outbreak of violence surrounding clinics it's a secondary issue.\n\nNobody in Washington wants to talk about corruption, lobbyist reform, the growing deficit or taxes; so it's an issue for the opposition.\n\nAs a minister, the biggest issue for me is gay marriage. To me, a government prohibition on gay marriage is equivalent to saying "People born on Tuesday can't take Holy Communion."

Let's see...  illegal wiretaps, no due process or habeas corpus, torture, martial law, tax cuts for the rich, out of control spending, uneccesary war...\n\nUh, yeah.  The neocon agenda scares me pretty f*cking bad.

Today it is divided up between religious and secular, liberals and conservatives with one still active group of Republicans working like hell to bring back the agenda. Another of the great divisions comes from how much government do the people of America want? Conservatives and Liberals alike want more federal power over the people including academic education curriculum, one school fits all! Health care must be government controlled which will make it part of any partisan campaign for power. The FDA now wants to control our supplements and we gave them that power within CAFTA. The government will direct our length of stay in the hospital without exceptions and these are liberal and conservative desires. Unless we can stop it, how we die will be a part of the federal government’s plans. We all saw Bush’s reaction to the Schiavo case. \n\nWhat did we expect from a man who had never seen a war, never made a success in any business venture or earned a wage in his life? Could he be expected to keep America free from assault, keep our government out of our personal lives and our business proceedings? His campaign managers knew the GOP agenda but did he? Hell yes they need spanked.

I think we should change everything, all the time, whenever we get tired of anything at all.  How about questioning the incredible inefficiency of our style of government?  That would be a good question and someday soon when this country is a bit closer to totalitarianism I believe I will ask it.

What do you mean by control?  The government should protect them.
