I think that was very stupid for him to say.  Im sure he has alot of Hispanic supporters who dished out money for his music and new movie.  If this is true, then he has just alienated them and may loose a big chuck of his sales.  They should burn his CD's and organize not to buy anymore of them.  ~This was not a very bright move on his part~

He has these famous quotes..\n\n"I prefer a country run like hell by Filipinos to a country run like heaven by Americans. Because, however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it."\n\n"My loyalty to my party ends where my loyalty to my country begins."\n\n"Social Justice is far more beneficial when applied as a matter of sentiment, and not of law."

I think Mr. Johnny Cash summed it up best-\nRagged Old Flag\nI walked through a county courthouse square,\nOn a park bench an old man was sitting there.\nI said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down."\nHe said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."\nI said, "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit,\nAnd that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it."\n\nHe said, "Have a seat," and I sat down.\n"Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"\nI said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag,\nBut we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag.\n\n"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there \nwhen Washington took it across the Delaware.\nAnd it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key\nSat watching it writing Say Can You See.\nAnd it got a bad rip in New Orleans\nWith Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams.\n\n"And it almost fell at the Alamo\nBeside the Texas flag, but she waved on though.\nShe got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville\nAnd she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.\nThere was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg,\nAnd the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag.\n\n"On Flanders Field in World War I\nShe got a big hole from a Bertha gun.\nShe turned blood red in World War II.\nShe hung limp and low by the time it was through.\nShe was in Korea and Vietnam.\nShe was sent where she was by her Uncle Sam.\n\n"She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,\nAnd now they've about quit waving her back here at home.\nIn her own good land here she's been abused --\nShe's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused.\n\n"And the government for which she stands\nIs scandalized throughout the land.\nAnd she's getting threadbare and wearing thin,\nBut she's in good shape for the shape she's in.\n'Cause she's been through the fire before\nAnd I believe she can take a whole lot more.\n\n"So we raise her up every morning, take her\ndown every night.\nWe don't let her touch the ground and we fold\nher up right.\nOn second thought, I do like to brag,\n'Cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag."

The bible does not say anything as inane as "We must honor those killed in war by continuing to fight it.", so what does George's latest fumble have to do with the bible?  Believe it or not, not all christians support or even approve of Bush.\n\nAnd yes, Anna, all those things you said are in the bible, but if you really understood what it said you would understand they are lessons against those things, hence the rapist's death and David's punishment for his adultry and murder of Bathsheeba's husband.  As for Lot's daughters, their actions were obviously lessons on letting stupid people walk around free.  Islam is taking care of all the stoning and beheading this world can stand, considing they missed the "cast the first stone" part.

I really think this free speech thing is going too far ... if it's OK to desecreate a flag, then  it's OK to spit on the graves of those who died for our right to fly that flag ... and of course it'll be OK to tag government buildings ... and on and on ... a bit of common sense and common decency wouldn't go astray ... there are many things in the Constitution that aren't spelled out ... I doubt very much if the founding fathers ever thought that the question of burning the flag of their new country by its own citizens would ever arise!  You can't write down everything in a constitution, but think some things should be self evident!

Good question...so good, in fact, that I am going to answer it twice!\n\nI agree that GWB needs to practice what he is preaching. Coming from a leader who says that he never reads a newspaper and cannot even pronounce common English words, I think this proposal is pretty laughable.

Quote; "Anyone who starves themselves over any cause is stupid. Can't change things when you are dead, so yes the death was in vain. Even a gator could figure that out."\n\nGator has obviously never heard of Bobby Sands or the other 9 Irish Hunger strikers of 1981. As a result of their sacrifice, Bobby Sands was elected to Parliament while still on hunger strike, hundreds of people joined the IRA and the Good Friday Agreement was signed. Among other things, the Good Friday Agreement forced the brits to share governmental power with Irish Republicans AND forced the brits to release ALL IRA prisoners from their prisons! Don't tell me they died in vain. They were locked away in a prison, with no weapons, yet managed to change the whole course of Irish history.\n  Sadly, I must admit that I know nothing of Subhas Srivastava. But he has got people talking. And I will read up on him and his cause. So be sure, he did not die in vain.

Memorable Quotes: I learned that when you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone, because you will have divine companionship and the support of good people. This same faith and cosmic companionship sustained me after my husband was assassinated, and gave me the strength to make my contribution to carrying forward his unfinished work. \n"I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation." \n\n"Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people." \n\n"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."\n\n"The value of life in our cities has become as cheap as the price of a gun." \n\n"In this country. we vigorously regulate the sale of medicine and severely limit the advertising of cigarettes because of their effect on human health. But we allow virtually anyone in America to buy a gun and virtually everyone in the nation to see graphic violence." \n\n"When I say I was married to the cause, I was married to my husband whom I loved -- I learned to love, it wasn't love at first sight -- but I also became married to the cause. It was my cause, and that's the way I felt about it. So when my husband was no longer there, then I could continue in that cause, and I prayed that God would give me the direction for my life....But then I finally determined that it was the King Center, because Martin's message and his meaning were so powerful....So I felt that my role, then, was to develop an institution, to institutionalize his philosophy, his principles of nonviolence and his methodology of social change, and that's what I have spent my years doing."

Carpe Diem and Viva la Independencia!\nIt's eight in the morning, I just got off work, and this Bud's for you!\n\nThis is the happiest I've been since, well, November 6, 2000, the day before the Bush Nightmare started.  \n\nI'd say celebrations are in order and WAAAAY overdue!\n\nJust think: in two years, two months, and one week, the evil lowlife bastard will be back in Crawford, unemployed, drunk, and smoking crack... just like he was before Daddy Warbucks bought him the governor's job.\n\nI look forward to the day the Smirking Baboon of Doom packs his bags and heads home.\n\nI wonder who he'll pardon in his last week?  You know damned well that all those Enron prikks will walk... makes me want to puke just thinking about it.  But at least HE'LL be gone!\n\nAnd the fun starts in just a little under two months!  I can't WAIT to see him start having those tantrums again!  It ought to be really good after the way he's been spoiled rotten for the last six years.  He'll be so bummed out he'll make Sally Struthers look like the Bluebird of Happiness.\n\nWork really sucked bad last night, but I laughed my @ss off for twelve straight hours.  And I still am.\nROTFLMFAO!!!!!

I don't approve of his way of handling immigration. He is giving away America. We should be helping our own American citizens before anyone else. I approve the way he is handling the war in Iraq. If he had just sat there after the attack on the twin towers, someone would be saying, Why didn't you do something. It's a no win situation. Don't approve of the way the gas prices can't are won't be controlled.  I think he is doing the right thing when it comes to homosexuality. I believe only a man and a woman should be able to marry. That is the only thing that should be considered a marriage. He has good and bad points. But who doesn't.

Ashamed - no.\nHorribly disappointed - yes.\n\nThere are policies this president has supported that I don't understand and really worry about.\n\nYes there is the war in Iraq and there are terrorist threats that I don't feel are being dealt with.  \n\nHowever, I'm honestly very concerned about some of the stuff going on a little closer to home.  \n\nWhy is the president spending so much time and money trying to define what a marriage is?  (Please don't give me the God said it's bad for a man and a man to hook up and it's bad for a woman and a woman to hook up, I'm looking at it as a tax payer, and I'm sick of the government spending money telling me that I can only marry a man legally.)\n\nWhy did the federal government screw up so badly in response to Katrina?  (We had to know that a hurricane was coming and we didn't prepare for it or what?)\n\nWhy does our president think that a teacher in this country is leaving any child behind?  (No child left behind is a great idea, but it's completely useless.  It is a completely under funded idea that the government decided would be a nice catch phrase to get voters to agree with, but if you actually know how it works, you would cry for the teachers and students.)\n\nWhy are we spending around 520 billion on the department of defense versus spending about 60 billion on the department of education?  (I'm not arguing that I want to feel safe in the country that I was born in, but why are we spending almost 9 times the amount of money on education on defense.  Maybe it's just me but I think the kids in our schools across the country deserve more than what they are getting.)\n\nYou may disagree with what I have to say, and that's fine with me.  I support what our country stands for, but I have some serious concerns about how our fearless leader is currently directing our country.\n\nHave a great day from the Land Of Lincoln.  :)

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.\n\nFive score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.\n\nBut one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.\n\nIn a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."\n\nBut we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.\n\nWe have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.\n\nIt would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.\n\nBut there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.\n\nThe marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here
