This was a college journalist? A senior? And she's bothered because "no matter how she votes there will always be war!?!?
Wake the f*ck up already!
Who the hell told her that this was U-freakin'-topia?
My God, how incredibly mind-numbingly ignorant. |

and how incredibly, mind-numbingly, self absorbed and sheltered.
Insanity - "my vote doesn't make war go away, so why vote? Besides, I'm busy worrying about drunk drivers and eating disorders".
It tells you how many troubles she has in her life if she's got time to be agonizing over drunk drivers and eating disorders.
Good, she shouldn't vote, but I do want her to show up at the voting booth and sign the new form I'm demanding the government implement that says "I didn't vote this time around, so I promise under penalty of severe monetary fine that I will not bitch about the President, or his policies, for the next 4 years". |

Corbett, well, that's one way of looking at things.
But over what time frame do you expect these dire things to happen? And do consider the war to be an important thing or just, you know, a nuisance?
Which candidate is more likely to appoint Supreme Court Justices who respect the Constitution? |

Corbett, I can't say I disagree with your assessment.
But Ms. Carpenter seems to not want to vote - not because the candidates aren't acceptable (by rational measure) - but because... well, because no candidate is Santa Claus. |

Unconstitutional war? BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Congress gave the go-ahead, the President went.
That's all the Constitution requires. Have a nice day.
Armed populace - Bwhahahahahaah - yeah that's a sure stopper for a suitcase bomb or a fuel laden L10-11.
(and I'm for citizens owning weapons).
terrorists - tell ya what Corbie, let's send your address to Al-Queda and ask them to drop an jetliner specifcally your house, first, and we'll see if you still want to talk about how more people die on US highways every year than died on 9/11. Shouldn't be a problem, you'll be armed of course, and that'll stop em I'm sure.
And let's pretend the rest of the big bad world isn't there...yeah, that'll be entertaining and practical.
You're even more entertaining than MKUltra.

"The ONLY reason that Saddam was our enemy is because we fought another war against Iraq when they hadn't attacked us. (And the only reason that Saddam attacked Kuwait to begin with is because our ambassador to Iraq gave him the green light.) Hell, Saddam was our ally."
Could we please stop using 15 year old bogus assertions in our arguments?
"Who do you think supplied all those chemical weapons that he used on the Iranians? "
Almost exclusively France and the USSR. |

W,
My problem is that the politicians believe they ARE Santa Claus.
And they always will be as long as they control the taxing authority and the subsequent disbursement of the funds.
Its much easier to buy your way into power, and its a much more sure way of maintaining it. The culture in America, for whatever reason, has changed from saying to government, `stay the hell out of my life`, to "what can you get for me".
As long as that culture persists, Santa Claus is going to be much more popular, in terms of how the government is viewed, than the guys who prefer to be nighwatchmen and protect lives, liberty and property.
