Conservatives- why do you fight for Iraqis' freedoms but continue to ban and harass ours, here at home?

I agree with you. People are so rude sometimes. Worried more where you put your quotation marks than the actual question. I'm not fighting, but I am going to help change the world by voting, that is if they can count them.

If I was a Shite in Iraq, I'd want to come to America.  No reason to stick around waiting for a so-called fellow Muslim to use me for a reason to start a civil war for a perverted fascist ideology.  But then again, maybe they want to defend their land against the real enemy.  Radical Muslims that pervert religion.\nOr maybe they like economic opportunity and religious freedom.

As a liberal, it's embarrasing to have people posting questions like this.\n\nLet's try to raise the level of the discourse.  Let the fundamentalist conservatives have Shiraz and his ilk and their hateful questions.  Liberals should be better than this.\n\nI'm no fan of Bush, but the Nazi comparisons just don't hold water, and they make us look as silly as those we oppose.

Your freedom of speech comes from the same place.\n\nAre libs too stupid to know THIS?

Yup. Go after 'em and put 'em on the defensive. We are making alot of progress against the terrorists, but you wouldn't know it by watching CBS or CNN. Nevermind what the news says, ask the people who have been there and have had their mission completely misrepresented by the liberal press and liberal politicians. Our troops are kickin' butt! When was the last hit against us? I say keep 'em busy over there!

you live in a different neighborhood than I, but it sounds like you are a bit envious. It's easy to spot the conservative in your neighborhood.  He's the one who has two nice new cars, a nice green manicured lawn because he takes PRIDE in his appearance.  He's the one playing ball with his kids, has the barbeques on weekends and goes to church on Sunday morning. He'll be the first one to lend a helping hand if there is an emergency.  He'll also most likely to be the one who is best equipped to HANDLE an emergency.  And,  God forbid if we were invaded, he'd have the weapons to protect the neighborhood.  He'd hand out guns to everyone, well except for the moron next door with his Kerry Edwards sticker on his Prius.

Why Americans use free speech, because we have given our lives to defend your right to say something without having to be persecuted.  Go to Iraq and Iran and yell "CURSE ALLAH TO DEATH" and you will die-Yell "Kill Bush" and you might find yourself under investigation and your telephones tapped but not without the benefit of Due Process which means that you are innocent until proven guilty.  Why don't Osama Bin Laden take his cowardly butt into the front of the war?  Why was Suddam Hussein caught Hiding.  Why do you put yourself into a position of scrutiny when stating things that are rebellious.  If you really want to know why don't you use your computer in a .gov capacity and find out what rights you have provided by the constitution.

Hey, I got a better idea, why not burn them at the stake with all the other idiot Liberals? They can't speak their mind, what do they think this is, a Democracy? Just like with the Dixie Chicks, the 1st amendment applies only to the Cancervative Party. BTW, do you think, after we anhilate Iraq, we should build C-Camps there, you know, for the ragheads and homos in the US?

Americans for the most part like the Iraqi's.  It is the terrorist insurgents and the hangers on to the old regime we don't like.  In the words of Thomas Jefferson, all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.  Sometimes you just have to stand up and fight for those rights.  The Iraqi people are just starting to get a chance to fight for their own rights now.  If you are an Iraqi, be proud, vote and support your new free and open Representative Republic.  It may not be perfect, but it beats the hell out of tyranny.

Because they cannot find a way to justify the actions of our government.  These are also the people who tell me to move to Iraq because I have a dissenting opinion.  Don't get me wrong, I love my country.  But I cannot say that I am too proud of the actions of my government or of its ignorant citizens.

Koo Koo - If you can't think of one way that we have helped Iraq you are very misguided. We have saved an entire society from a leader who didn't believe in personal freedoms, who created rape rooms and gassed his own people. You claim that are president is so bad, and that the conservatives are so bad, take a look at the big picture instead of the narrow hallways of your very very liberal mind.

All of this Administration along with the instigators and supporters need to be in Iraq...I say, serves them right to insult, and abuse Americans. I love your avatar too by the way...Neocons are Un-American...

I don't get it, we have accomplished so much\n\n1.  Suddam hussain was removed from power\n\n2.  Iraqis now have many more freedoms\n     ------drive, dress how they want, go to school, watch tv, listen to the radio... and the list goes on\n\n3.  We have killed/imprisoned many terrorists in the middle east\n\n4.  the list goes on\n\nWe have done all this for a price of under 2400 great men that i have so much respect for.  We lost 58000 in vietnam and accomplished nothing.  In WWII over 16000000 were killed or wounded.  How come so many people supported that war.  And the people that don't support this war are the ones that think it is ok to kill hundreds of thousands of babies each year.  If anyone here can understand the liberal mind will you please explain it to me.

how 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 too walk closer to the conservative line... and I do value our freedoms and rights... the liberals   carry it too far  though.... to such a point that they actually infringe on peoples rights such as in abolishing religion etc. as far as the patriot act goes... I think it makes every one nervous in some ways to  know big brother is watching... at the same time we do want to be protected  from  further acts of terrorism ...and some terrorist are home grown.... perhaps there just needs to be better checks and balances on what they are doing and how they are doing it................fiscally  Democrats  / liberals  most often are the ones  that   raise the taxes and   spend money   on    a multitude of  programs\n..though both parties need to be more conservative financially.....  I don't align myself with either party... some  republicans are liberal, some democrats are conservative..... I am independent...  either party requires dogmatic thinking to an extent... so I vote for the best candidate... who ever they are...

We should leave them alone.  Or perhaps you might be suggesting we enslave them, in a figurative sense of the word, by forcing them to live like westerners.  We may have the best system here in the west, but it is obvious, like in Iraq, that not all people are cut out to make a democracy work.  Interference would mean more war and more reconstruction.  Things are moving slow enough in Iraq, we really don't need to expand on our problems.

Good for you for having thought through and seen through the BS. I feel that it is to satisfy the bigoted jerks who put Christianity first in politics instead of putting people first. This world is hard enough without legislating hate. My husband and I considered not marrying in protest of Bush's stance on gay marriage, but he is national guard, so we needed to make sure I was able to speak for him if and when deployed....It's cruel and thoughtless and most of all, it is the very kind of bigotry we have worked so hard to overcome. And forget about the answers that clearly do not understand the point you are making about the troops...they are off fighting for freedom for another country...mean while, back home, we are taking freedoms from our own people.
