The pilgrams left and came to this country to get away from oppression.
Actually, when the Puritans came here, they practiced some particularly brutal forms of religious oppression... just ask the Quakers and Anabaptists.
Now its coming again. Big government is never better but T. Kennedy thought that was great and the answer. What is really amazing is that how a politician who was a drunk and womanizer; left Jo Ann to drown - is a real big golden hero like he was George Washington on the news.
Washington was a mediocre general and an adulterer... perhaps you should pick a different example?
I know it was his funeral and I believe in honoring it - but they shouldn't have acted like he was something he wasn't. He wasn't his brother John, Robert, Eunice his sister or George Washtington - who had much more dignity.
And apparantly, got away with much more.  |

I believe that being in a position of power is a major contributor for some politicians, celebrities, and proponent people.

Of course, cheating is not limited to power or men. The everyday man and woman is prone to extra-marital affairs.
Does a man's person life necessarily prevent him from being an effective politician?

At least you have a clear understanding of why your analogy fails.

dir="ltr"> they told me if I voted for John McCain that I would get a President like Bush that would violate the airspace and sovereignty of an allied nation with a military force to assassinate a foreign national of another allied country and then their dead body would be dumped in the ocean. and they were right.
I support the arts. |

In this case, the unmentionable corpse is Mary Jo Kopechne, 1940-1969.
Actually since his death it's been mentioned ad infinitum. |

Except when they do it; organizing a Volunteer Fire Department in a rural community is socialism. The other half realizes that what made the u.s. great was freedom - not socialism.
The two concepts are by no means mutually exclusive. Freedom is entirely worthless without health care, education, food, clothing, and shelter. Freedom requires a police force and a military; socialist institutions. The pilgrams left and came to this country to get away from oppression.
So they said; only once they got here they acted just like their oppressors in old England. They kicked the Baptists out of Massachusetts and executed "witches" as an excuse to steal their land. Now its coming again. Big government is never better but T. Kennedy thought that was great and the answer.
Where were you when Bush signed the Patriot Act? The political party whose icon you sport, the Constitution Party, opposes freedom in principle in their platform and seeks to institute a theocracy. What is really amazing is that how a politician who was a drunk and womanizer; left Jo Ann to drown - is a real big golden hero like he was George Washington on the news. I know it was his funeral and I believe in honoring it - but they shouldn't have acted like he was something he wasn't. He wasn't his brother John, Robert, Eunice his sister or George Washtington - who had much more dignity.
This is reprehensible. Kennedy's legislative career far surpassed those of his siblings and Washington. He was the greatest legislator in our lifetimes, certainly better than anyone the Republicans have trotted out since 1980. BTW, where are the "Constitutionist" legislators? Oh, that's right, you don't have any! Your "party" (more like a club of extremely far right busybodies) even offered its Presidential nomination to the disgraced Judge Roy Moore and he turned it down because even he knew how useless that would be. |

If it wasn't for the effective leadership of the psychopathic murderer Stalin the effective leader and psychopathic murderer Hitler would not have been stopped. | | |
