Is Pat Buchanan right about everything?

Not even close.  Have you ever heard that even a blind dog can find a bone sometimes.  Well, every once in a great while Mr. Buchanan will come out of his very right sided way of thinking and hit a few nails on the head; Nothing more.

Yes, as long as she is fully aware of what she is supporting. She must know her history and the history of politics. She should be one smart cookie! For instance.....how many people are aware that Bush's grandfather financially supported Hitler? So, one has to dig deep to find the truth about candidates of any party.

Yes, most definitely!!!  They also give everything their liberal slant so they can push their views.  So warning, don't believe everything you hear.  And if possible, research it yourself.

All presidents have their good points and bad points, their ups and downs. Is President Bush perfect? Absolutely not. But no other president before him has been perfect. Has he done the best he can with the information given? I believe so. Do I want to be at war in Iraq with soldiers being killed over there? No, but I guarantee if Kerry had been president and had the same information Bush did, he would have done the same thing. We're all so quick to judge, but he's doing the best he can. I'm so glad that we can have a moral man in the White House. Someone with scruples.

Why ask this question. Of course he is, plus he tries to scare a whole nation into believing that his way is right. MAN WAKE UP AMERICA.......

Question back, what's the right thing?\nA right thing to one person might not be the right standard for the others. \nFor example, if you dated a gold digger and you can't provide the right thing from her point of view, what will happen next?

More than likely a little of both. Mind you that would mean that there were 2 thoughts in his head at the same time so I rather doubt the first reason. Seriously though, of course Bush as leader of the Party campaigned for control , every president campaigns during mid-term elections. As far as his worrying about having his administration investigated, he believes he is right and lives by the Alfred E. Newman philosophy"What? Me worry?" All I hope is that at least now there are some checks in place and other voices(other than God) will be heard.

Absolutely. The system is inherently flawed in many ways. However, my main criticism stems from the deep polarization that this system causes within the country. It's like two major religions duking it out. Everyone is far more interested in pointing out what the "other side's" flaws are than in doing anything productive, and consequentially things rarely get done. There is a pervasive "my side is right no matter what" mentallity, and I for one am sick of it. When you have some free time, read some of my other posts. Occasionaly, my answers only display my bizzare sense of humor, but most of them offer a balanced perspective. Many of them directly relate to this topic. Good question!

Who is Pat Robertson?\n\n** new additions ** \nI just researched him on Wikipedia.\n\nAre you saying that everyone thinks the following?\n1.  "Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists represent the spirit of the Antichrist" \n2.  Feminism is a "socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians"\n3.  The acceptance of homosexuality could result in hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorist bombings and "possibly a meteor". \n4.  The explosion of a nuclear weapon at State Department Headquarters would be good for the country\n5.  Ariel Sharon's illness was possibly retribution from God for his recent drive to give more land to the Palestinians.\n\nIf that's what everyone is thinking then we're all in a lot of trouble.  And if that's what you are thinking you need to get out more.

No, I do not think it is right at all. Obviously you're talking about the Middle East. You know what America's interference in the Middle East reminds me of? What our forefathers did to the natives...we forced our religion and way of life down their throats and slaughtered all those who didn't comply. And you have to wonder whether or not they were the lucky ones, considering the survivors got disease and alcoholism back for their troubles (I know, that's a generalization, but anyone who knows their history can't deny it!). America- meaning the government- needs to realize once and for all that the rest of the world does not want to be American, or else they would have adopted American culture/system/religion in the first place. I believe that of all the atrocities the Bush administration have committed, treating Muslims like the indians of the 21st Century could very well be the worst.\n\nAnd all these people who are saying America doesn't force religion are way off. What the hell do you think all these Christian aid workers are doing? They're not just handing out aid and comfort- they're handing out bibles as well. I'm a very lapsed Catholic myself, but it drives me nuts when I see people portraying Christianity as completely innocent and perfect. No religion is perfect, nor is any one superior to the others...they're all based on the same myths and legends, people.

No, No and No.  Right now, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and James Dobson are crowing in delight over the rift  the right has caused. They practically come out and say Bush's election was their victory.\n  Bush was advised very carefully on this sticky wicket and, again, as with gay marriage and immigration pulled off a diversionary tactic to divide us and take attention off the greater issues.  God guides him, so he says. We know he uses God.  And the sooner the Christian Right wakes up, the better

I believe your hypothesis is flawed. Do you watch the news, read the newspaper, read blogs, political books,etc? Yep, you must believe what you are hearing. Where do you live? Do you think that the news might be biased where you are? When have you last heard a BBC newscast, or watched Al-Jazzerah? \nWhat is your definition of Progressive? If it is the Teddy Roosevelt definition, then you adhere to a more classical conservative approach. If you are comparing yourself to modern liberals, then you just need to call yourself that.\nU.S. politics is not divided, just people don't care about the close similarities they share. Even most Political Scientists believe there is an increased volatility in the world democracies, but they ain't asking the right questions. \nInstead of trying to label yourself, why not ask yourself why you believe what you do, and how important those beliefs are.\nIf your definition is hoping for change, then no, conservatives and pregressives are exactly the same. why do you believe conservatives don't question thier leaders? Who do you think are conservatives leaders anyway? Do you think people currently in elected positions are conservative?\nI am not trying to be insulting, just when labels start getting thrown around, it narrows the scope of a question beyond any redeemable answer, and just becomes an opportunity to posture. If you really want to find answers, open up a bit more.

What you want is what everyone in the U.S. wants.  I'm a democrat who works her butt off and feel that people on welfare for generations is just absolutely robbery.  I care about peoples rights in the U.S. because that is why the U.S. was started so they could practice freedom of religion without fear of persecution.  I want a government that makes decisions based on the good of everyone not just the good for their pockets.  The reason we label ourselves with a party is because we feel that one party or the other will attain those items more successfully than the other.  I think most people are right down the middle the problem with our government is there is no down the middle views everythings is either too far right or too far left leaving no compromising and finding solutions thta 1/2 of the country will not be happy with.  So you are on the U.S. Team that wants a more successful, honest, rational government.  As do I.  If i'm wrong then i'm sorry i couldn't answer your question.

So, Warren Harding is buried in Grants tomb. Now we know the truth.\n\nI would have to agree that Buchanan is. Bob and Tom I believe would also agree (www.bobandtom.com).\n\nDubya is doing fine holding his own. He inherited a mess from Billy Boy, had 9/11 dumped on his lap, massive wildfires, lots of hurricanes, and North Korea. No other president had this to deal with. The 9-11 is a NEW thing never seen in U.S. history before. Besides Dubya is just the President. He smiles and kisses babies. This one, for certian, is not calling the shots. Someone behind the scenes is doing that.

I've been thinking about this for quite awhile now in an attempt to try to understand the answer to your exact question.\n\nI used to think that Republicans who support Bush were just haters who were obviously miserable unhappy ppl that wanted to be angry and blame everybody else for what flaws they saw in their lives; BUT, I have come to realize this is incorrect.\n\nThe answer lies in the fundamental way of thinking. I will explain: take for example, homosexuality. The rightwing take the fact that the Bible states homosexuality is a sin to mean that it should not be allowed in our society. They see things in flat black and white; based purely on what THEY have decided is right and wrong. With this true conviction that they are right, they feel they have the authority, as the majority, to impose their beliefs on society, ignoring the rights of the minority.\n\nThe liberal pt of view, stems from society as a whole and the rights of the individual even when in the minority. Liberals, while many also considering homosexuality a sin in the Bible, do not feel it is their place to dictate to another person how he/she should live their life as long as it is within the confinements of the law. So, you see, the liberal-minded seem to look beyond themselves and what THEY believe is right or wrong. \n\nDon't mean to make this a gay posting.. that was just an example to try to explain my answer to your question.
