And my point was what if they DO tell us to get out and then their country turns into another breeding ground for terrorist. What would have been the point of all this?

![]() As for abortion - I'm personally against abortion - I only support a woman's right to choose though in the first trimester - and only afterward if her life in in danger. That isn't a religous position - it's my own personal position. Quote:

Also - you seem to ignore the fact that it takes congress to do anything when it comes to the issues you have mentioned. Congress is the representation of the people. You have your chance to change the president in 2008 - just get over the election already. I must say though - with each passing month of whining about the election from liberals - they more and more show that they really deserve the name "liberal whiners".

![]() Also - another thing - you can stop twisting my words - where did I say that you said "religious people shouldn't be allowed to vote"? ![]() ![]() Quote:
![]() Based on YOUR statement - you seem to feel that because religious peopel voted for bush - that they can't say how they feel about abortion, gay rights or about stem cell research. As far as I'm concerned - these issue are up to Americans - and have NOTHING to do with religion. And since religious people arealso Americans - they have a right to stand up for what they believe in. If people choose to support or not support something because of religious reasons - that is their choose. They can still vote for people who support their views. You seem to think that these issues should not be up for discussion at all. That it should be a done deal that these things should just be accepted. Well that's bull ****. There is NOTHIUNG wrong with religious people stating their opinion on these things - nor actually getting their way with these things. The will of the people will decide these things through Congress - and those people include the religious of America. YOu seem to want to put a religious litmus test on things. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that says that people can not look at things from their own religious standpoint and vote based on that standpoint - nor is there anything in the Constitution that says that the government can not side with their opinion. So get over yourself. Just because you may not agree with their opinions doesn't mean that the government can't based decisions on their opinions. Quote:

Millions of Iraqis Vote
^Reuters article of a few hours ago. I think all the voting is done now; the polls official closed and everyone who was there at closing has finished voting. It is 11:00 or so over there anyway. Originally it was put at 72% of elibible voters voted, but now they put it at more like 60%. I'm amazed anyway...all those people voting when they know they could easily be killed (and 35 were). History in the making! EDIT: It's interesting, since they don't have records and ids and that sort of stuff to the level of other developed countries to control voting,they stain the tip of your index finger when you vote.

That is an awesome voter turnout, considering how difficult it was to vote (with the thread of violence).
I hope this inspires other nations too - the last Canadian election also had a voter turnout of 60%, with no threat of violence at all. ![]()

Plenty of republicans I know condemned that kind of ridiculous speech. Although Ive noted you haven’t. Instead you use my simple comment about it as an opportunity to try to belittle me and every and all liberals. What a shock eh… Quote:
I added: “in a land seemingly choked by its religious beliefs and differences.” Whereas in THIS country, all the “hight sheiks” are preaching about a RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION in a land of the free and that prides itself on religious tolerance. Do you get this now Jersey? Do you get the simple use of the term “irony” in connection to one small thing you said that you have now turned into a massive excuse to spit and fume about liberalism and the first amendment? Lemme know if I need to explain further. Quote:
