I trust the local and state officials to make the decisions regarding their community moreso than the overarching federal govt. If those said officals abuse their power in regards to those topics, make unpopular restrictions, etc...they would get voted out where need be. Power in the hands of the people, where it should be.
I think that it is insane to imply that a state nowadays would even dream of implementing anything like Jim Crow laws. Between then and now, racist group ideology and participation has steadily declined. The Ku Klux Klan membership has shrunken to negligible numbers. You will find more people to assemble for 'Magic: The Gathering'. In the modern day environment, it would be practically impossible to do such a thing when one takes into consideration the enormously bad press that the state would receive.
PHAIL on so many levels -*ONE* for being a republican scumbag and proving YTMND is mostly run by some Republican forum where this is actually funny and hotlinked, *TWO* for viewing an obvious victory (keeping 10%) from the underdog as a failure, *THREE* for making a SH*T ytmnd and STEALING the number one spot from me. You f*cking suck. Vote Ron Paul.
Yeah. This is why I registered republican, not to vote for RP but to vote against douche bags like Mitt, Guliani and Mccain. People don't look farther than the next meal ticket or think like everyone else. If Clinton, Edwards, or Obama win it doesn't matter because they are all basically the same... The republicans however (including Huck) are pure evil except for RP. That is why you need to vote for him. So that in case a republican does win we won't be up sh*t creek again.
Ron Paul is a great man.
Iowa is a fundie state. I didn't expect him to win there or even do well. He was polling lower there than how things turned out, so I am pleased with that. New Hampshire is much more libertarian and packed with Independents. If Paul doesn't win there then I would be very concerned, but Iowa? ......
LOL! Seriously though we don't want this guy to be president. It may be funny on the interwebs to joke about such things, but in all honesty I believe this guy would have the US bankrupt while drawing up plans for World War 3 by the second year of his term. Proposals to eliminate the IRS etctera sound good on paper but taxes are necessary to survival - the reason the Soviet Union collapsed was because it went bankrupt. The government needs money, plain and simple.
What we need to do is elect a leader who realizes this but at the same time takes the majority of it from the people who have the most instead of the least (i.e. the rich). The Bush admin has cut the government's revenue almost by ¾ during his 8 horrid years in office and has put just about all the money the government did make into a pointless desert war. What the country needs is to start putting that money back into domestic programs, instead of basically capturing land for Halliburton to make money.
As for withdrawl from the UN, there'd be no quicker way to start World War 3, especially with the deteriorating relationship between Russia and the US. Russia's increasing strength, influence, and seeming return to totalitarian government, whether we like it or not, is a threat. We need to deal with it the way Regan and others did during the 80s - with tactics and strategy, rather than bullish idealism. Diplomacy is part of strategy. Nobody wants to get nuked, and that's why the UN exists.
huckabee believes in young earth creationism, he believes that women are the property of men (because of gods word). he believes that creationism belongs in school, prayer belongs in school and that christianity belongs in society and government. he's as fundamentalist and dominionist as it gets, and it's utterly terrifying and alien (his zealotry) to most of the wests population.
Well, what is really important is what politicians will do to turn their beliefs into law. Unless it gets to that point, it is really quite negligible and unnecessary to worry about. You need to factor in that every person running for president (at least those who make the debate) is a Christian.
"Ron Paul doesn't believe in the separation of church and state." Do you have specific examples? Because all I have heard him talk about are things like Christmas trees on town hall greens. OMG, THEOCRACY!
Besides, I would not complain about "separation of church and state" if I were you, Helkranas. It would be completely hypocritical, considering that in your promised land, Sweden, the Lutheran Church is sponsored by the state, which is exactly what our constitution specifically was written against, and what Ron Paul specifically is against as well.
