Has the time come for us to take our country back?

It is time to take The South back from all the invaders, from the damn yankees to the hispanics pouring in from Mexico and Cuba.  Throw them all out!

I think the real question is: can we as America ever come back to our senses and be America again? real patriots, begin with dumping  ACLU and cancel their charter, put God before, nation next, family above all, American pride, ingenuity, industrialism,production, winners not whiners, winners not loose-rs, bold not cold, brave to stand up for what is right for all not just the few, force by vote both parties to focus on America not their own interests, be aware of what they are voting/acting in both Houses where we send our Rep's, take charge of what is placed in the curriculum of our schools and not be "jello's", be brave to take part not to sit back watching, use the Constitution to make the proper changes BACK to been America..."the land of the free and the home of the brave".................................

Ask when are we going to get out of Iraq.

Some of you may think this is a silly question, but it's really not. There is a trend, especially in Europe, for returning more power to states/provinces. Scotland now has its own government that decides most if not all of their domestic affairs. Catalonia in Spain wants independence. A few years ago Quebec came very close to leaving Canada. The fact of the matter is, culturally, the southern part of the U.S. is just really different then the northeast and western parts of the United States. Take a look of a map showing where the "red" states are and the "blue" states. See a trend? Just think about it; wouldn't a lot of you blue state folks be happier joining Canada in some great big socialist experiment?

what are you talking about withdrawing? we haven't left. it will just mean our people will be over there for an even longer amount of time cause our current president is a moron for thinking we have to stay there and be a police force

This couldn't have been done 100 yrs. ago, let alone today.  No one in the states today wears clothes made in the USA.  We are so tangled with the Global Economy, we couldn't function if we withdrew.  There  would be no cars, computers, TV, trade of any kind, etc.  if we did that.  We have to be involved.  The question is about who is making the deals we get in, and who do they serve?  Today, we have been sold down the river by the powerful and they don't care what happens to you or your country.  We  should be telling them to go screw themselves.

its definitely time but there's a problem...Iraq is in a state of chaos that is worse now than ever...militant groups have gained supporters and are fighting stronger than ever...the u.s. went in there and tore Iraq apart...we currently are doing more damage than good, as most of the funds that are suppose to be going toward rebuilding the towns and home of citizens are being used to supply our troops with food and more ammunition...the government is established and is capable of running itself, and Iraq now has its own police force and armed forces....we should pull out and let the country begin to run itself...

More possibly a new American civil war. Or revolution. Heck, we, this "nation of immigrants", wiped out the original inhabitants of this country, and locked the rest of them onto reservations. I'll bet the true native Americans are getting a real chuckle over all this. We're worried about losing "our" country, but we seem to forget we stole it in the first place. So maybe now somebody else is getting ready to steal it from US! What goes around comes around. We've become a little too self-righteous for our britches anyway.

It was an bad idea when it started and it is a bad idea now. When and if we leave it will go back to the way it was before. The strong will take control and we will be right back where we started with a dictator in charge.

Are going???????  ...Don't you really mean to say: Have already gone?    ...Indeed, we are looking at a very sad and dangerous heading for our hard-fought democracy.   Poor founding fathers have been shaking in their bones for some time now, I'm afraid.   I truly wonder: Have we really taken good enough care of the wonderful and immeasurable heritage they had left us?   It is much harder to recover our lost liberties than to lose them.   ...The worst crimes in this world have always been committed and justified in the name of the best and the holiest of intentions.

We are about as empowered as Germans were after 1933.\nTo me, the 9/11 was our Reichstag fire.  Maybe we can take our country back.  Maybe.

We can sure hope so. It's starting off pretty good. Our Nation needs to support unity and good thinking. Time will tell.

Most definitely.  We need to do some cleaning up ourself before we can help others.  The U.N. is a good idea in itself (like Communism is, I mean you can't say the idea of it is a bad thing, it just doesn't work in reality) but so far it's been just a bitch.  I know I'm tired of going through the U.N. I mean just look at the dumping scandal.  No one can really be trusted anymore.\n\nMy only qualm is that if we go back into the Monroe Doctrine phase, we will resort to Isolationism.  We, being a world power and major influence (to some degree), can't afford to go back to being isolated.  It would just be like backing down and letting the world do as it pleases--no Americans, I would think, would want foreign people dictating how we should run our lives (just as noone else would want that, either).  So it's sort of a black and white question with so many gray areas it isn't even funny.

Personally, I think we need to take the power completely away from the people for a while.  America has become a bunch of idiots that take Jerry Springer as the norm, and the Simpsons as the ideal.  We need a good dictator for about 10 years to whip us into shape, then turn it back over to us again!

It felt like spring after a very long winter. Like the renaissance after the dark ages. The 2006 mid-terms gave me back hope for my country. After 12 years of domination by right wing religious conservative zealots, we are back to sanity.\nNow we can get to work on our problems at home and regain our respect in the world.\nYippee!!!

NO\n\nhow do you think we got our freedom by standing back.\n\nin the public eyes iraq does not deserve freedom like ours.  we need keep fighting the terrorist for the people OF THE WORLD from the terrorist who rule it.  and we are not dictator we are freedom fighters who fight for FREEDOM,  JUSTICE AND LIBERTY.  unfortunitly people lost sight of it  and voted wrong yesterday.  \n\nand morally we are now also headed in the wrong direction.  people need to be responible for their action and not blame it on science or the society.\n\nfinally for the budget there goes the state and national level budget and economy and our taxes.  people what things to be in place for a better country and community.  but who do you think we pay for it in the long run.  we do with our taxes, not with the so called federal and state money people think we have.\n\n country is in a mess thanks to the ungrateful american public who forget how our free

I don't think we have reached the point of no return but I do think we are dangerously close to getting to that point.  I don't pretend to be a  political expert by any stretch, just an average person so I may be wrong, but it seems to me that we are way too anxious to go all over the world to fight battles for who ever cries for help while leaving our own borders wide open.  We have terrorism going on in our own country everyday with freaks like the guy who went into the Amish school and shot 10 little girls killing 5 of them.  I don't know what the average daily number of homicides is in this country but I know that in our state capitol, the number this year is staggering.  Drive by shootings, murder - suicide and random acts of violence are nothing but homeland terrorism.  That, coupled with the horridous influx of illegal immigrants has made this a scary place to live.  I think we need to stop trying to save the world and work on saving our nation.  I completely support our troops and the work they do every day all around the world and am actually the mother of a military person but I still think we need to use our military here at home to close our borders, protect us from incoming threats and concentrate on Homeland Security.  How can we save the world if we can't save ourselves?  (you said you wanted detailed answers! :)
