I think there should be a law that anyone by the name of Bush should be prohibited from entering public life in any shape or form! Enough is enough!!!!

There are those of us who are awake to this horrible vision. The unfortunate thing is there aren't enough of us who are awakened to do anything about it. Unless we organized and assembled we would be brought down. Plus there is a comfort zone, and about half of this country are conservative republicans. 30% of which still like Bush. So of that 70%, you have to figure the portion of people who are willing to risk their lifestyle, their businesses, and even their lives to let the government know that we disagree. Without numbers our voice goes unheard. If we can group the people who disagree with bush and his policy something will get done, however if we don't have the numbers to act, it would be similar to the government response noted recently in the movie V for Vendetta.  If we can have change and move toward peace without overthrowing our government, and leading a revolution, i'm sure a lot more people would step up. But the longer we wait, the closer we are to a civil conflict that will tear us apart.\n\nIn response to airborne... Bush's current approval ratings are right near 30% and decreasing daily. Last I checked 30% is not most of our country. It is the brainwashed ignorant and most often upper class that share's bush's views as they have the most to gain or lose. Open your eyes. Nothing will be accomplished by one country challenging the world. Your statement only goes to prove how brainwashed some people in this country are. Money has eaten their minds.\n\nTo maverick: is it not convenient that of those one in a million, they always seem to be oil barrons, or wealthy senators, or partial owners of medical companies.... Notice you never see an educated civilian take office. 1 country by the people for the people... yeah right! You are both ignorant, and people of other countries notice this. We too often close our eyes to the severity of our actions.\n\nI leave this question with one final thought. The majority of the voting public in the U.S. are Senior Citizens. As you can see on this post, most of the people who are speaking out about bush are children, or considered that in the eyes of the law. As long as ignorant, republican, conservative old bull headed people make up the voting majority, the republican party will lead us all to hell. Not to say that the democrats are any better, because most of the time they are all talk on many issues, but in this case, isolation is the only thing that will lead America away from war. We need to stop trying to police the world, and start worrying about our failing education system, our medical system that is by far unavailable to the people that need it the most, the rising price of gas and creating alternate sources of energy. Until we get our country back on track  how can we justify pushing our way of life onto others?  Let Muslims live how they want to live. If we didn't have our heads up everyone elses a$$ all the time, far fewer people would hate us or attack our way of life. \n\nGrow up children and open your eyes to the ways of the world...

This is just something that "irks" me about Americans (granted, I am American, but my mother is British)...the Royal family is still VERY important, and they are still very much a political force within the entire British Commonwealth.\nThe Queen has the right to wage war on anyone; without the approval of anybody. The Queen has the right to dismantle Parliament at any time; now not the House of Lords...but that's a different story. The Queen, if she does not approve of something, can make it go away with a *snap* of her fingers. \nThe reigning monarch at this time, has almost as much power as the monarchs of old did...although now there is Parliament that leads the nation down the merry path of Socialism...but for the entire Commonwealth of Britain, the Queen still rules and is Superior...\nAnd, just FYI, Prince William, who will be known as King Arthur (and yes, King Arthur was a real man...anyway) has already stated that he wishes to do away with Parliament...and if that happens, Britain and her Countries will be an Empire again.

That's not just Conservatives, it's the US political machine in general.  War makes money and money makes great pocket stuffers during campaign time from businesses who profit from the war.  Just follow the money....

Absolutely! Traditionally, marriage laws are determined by the states, and even though the conservatives often say that they want less government on the national level and more on the local level, Bush certainly took it upon himself to address the issue. But then again, I think that even Tucker Carlson said that Bush isn't even really a conservative. He may claim to be a conservative and spout conservative rhetoric, but his spending habits and many of his policies have been anything but conservative.

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

Okay let me make this straight up as I can. I am a moderate Democrat (i.e. Conservatives will say I am too liberal and Liberals will say I am too conservative) I also do not like our current president never have voted for the other guy in both elections. However I do like Tony Blair and the Labor party (I almost always have the BBC on so I can get some real news) with that you know where I stand.\n\nThis is a very complex question with a lot of history to consider. I can tell you what this war is not. First it is not part of the war on terror. President Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11 and frankly for the victims of that hideous act I think it is a great dishonor to say that Iraq is one and the same war. It’s not about oil. Americans think that we pay too much for oil, compared to Europe we pay half as much per a gallon. That’s due to the different driving practices and the better mass transit in Europe.  This war isn’t about WMDs even though that was the purposed reason to rally public support for the war. It’s not about Halliburton getting kickbacks from having a close relationship with the President that is just the icing on the cake. I can not tell you really what it is about its too complex for me to go into here and I would need hours and hours to explain it. \n\nHere we are a few years later. Do I think we should pull out our troops? No basically we broke the country we should fix it. Is there any good of this invasion? Yes, Saddam was not a good leader of his country he committed the most unforgivable sins; Genocide. If Bush said I don’t think the no fly zones aren’t working I don’t think the sanctions are working we need to go in and get this bastard. I would have said hell yes lets roll. Thing is he didn’t do that he didn’t make it about crimes against humanity. Our reason for the war was WMDs. How could Iraq having WMDs threaten the United States? Only one way and that is Terrorism. The only way Iraq could have used them is by deploying one of its Intel officers in a covert attack on our country. It couldn’t have been done by Al Qaeda. Why? Well Al Qaeda thinks that Saddam is the enemy because he exploits Islam for his own needs. Al Qaeda wanted to over throw leaders like Saddam all thro out the Middle East and put in governments like the Taliban in Afghanistan. Problem is people don’t look at history when they look at the middle east they don’t see the events before oil from there became a life blood or after the crusades. There is this dark period where it greatly shaped the Middle East that we know nothing about as westerners. Hence why it is complex.

liberal conservative?

When the hippocritical right-wing used abortion,gay rights,and other personal freedoms as a platform to make anyone who supported those individual freedoms seem weak and anti-christian. I am sick of hearing conservatives complain about the "liberal" media,every time I turn on my television I see lunatics like Sean Hannity,O'Reilly,Pat Robertson,etc. etc. etc. The title for a movie about the Bush administration should be "The brainwashing of America". If people only knew what this country is really up to...I think a civil war would not be out of the question. I am a liberal and proud. I am not ashamed to say that I support everyones civil rights not just people like myself. Variety is what makes life great. If the conservatives had their way,everyone would dress the same(boring),worship the same god,have sex only in the missionary position,and do only things that their preacher tells them to. I will die before living the way the conservatives want me to live. I hear conservatives call liberals "bleeding hearts" . That is amazing,since when was it a bad thing to care about others? I thought that is what their bible tells them to do....oh thats right...they only talk about the bible,they dont live it. What a bunch of moronic hippocrites. Yeah,I am liberal and damn proud of it...nothing any of you conservative a******* can do about it either!

Don't listen to KKiaserdrago he must be all of 12. Our Military right now is being stretched to its limit. We're throwing all our resources into a war that makes no sense. And did we really catch the guy who masterminded the sept 11th bombing. No we didn't he's still out there plotting. I think we need to pull the guys back here and start protecting our own land here before shipping them overseas to fight in a wasteful war that's getting hundreds of our boys killed for nothing.

I think I understand your question.  To engage in a civil war, it would take the participation of an enemy to the "conservatives" (e.g., the "liberals").  Fundamentalist right-wing ed conservative radicals are paid no more attention by educated liberals than the grasshoppers jumping from weed to weed in the sunny summertime, so the civil war isn't likely to transpire.

Remy-there are very FEW conservatives in power now. Neocons yes, not real conservatives. But your question does not address whether you mean government conservatives or the populace. Really the answer is no to both. Conservatives (real ones) are now considered divisive, intolerant and xenophobes. They (like for example conspiracy theorists, ring a bell?) are against globalism and loss of national identity.  They could be contributing to the destruction of America by backing down, giving up and capitulating to the powers that be. Your thoughts?

Yes!!!\n\nBut not everyone here is American, i'm not.\nSo atleast one conservative is out from the list, frankly i myself surprised to know the extent of conservatives US have. Its not lesser than countries like Italy, Saudia, Israel, India and Pakistan.

Let's do. Funny,it seems the other way 'round to me.Our motives regarding war,abortion, prayer, smaller government,etc. -are villified,seems to me: in the media, particularly, but also 1 on 1 talks. But I'm a conservative,and a reg. Joe. The Rep. party is not,nor the Dems, either,of by and for the people any longer.It's the same machine, different masks.Live long,Peace.\n P.S.And never let them make you be politically correct, or one day demagog will mean democrat.

Yesterday's newspaper reported that it currently costs the British people $70 million dollars a year to maintain the Monarchy.\n\nConsidering the fact that the Monarchy plays no role in running the British Government, and makes no decisions or policy whatsoever, I think it's high time the British people dissolve the Monarchy and spend their money on ANYTHING better.\n\nPerhaps they should spend the money on paving the grass at Wimbledon with asphalt so they can finally have a more meaningful tennis tournament on hard-court that fairly decides the best player.

It's the Republicans that don't like the U.K.. Not every body over here is Conservative. Most of them have a limited, down-home, red-neck, self appointed Christian attitude, since George Bush has been elected. In other words they are not very intelligent Mate. We don't like them either, So don't pay any attention to what they are saying. it's the blind leading the blind. America is going to vote Bush's Congress out real soon, and they will really start running their mouths then.
