And if "liberals" want to keep Americans divided, why is it YOU attacking this group, and why is America more polarize than EVER since George W. Bush got in office? Inevitably, this transitional prose could take us back to the original content of this thread; that Kerry is more popular around the world than the idiot savant who sits in the Oval Office.
Who is the first group of people to bring out some group saying they are disenfranchised or pander to some minority group in order to win their votes? Who is always bringing up charges of racism, or classism? It is the liberals who do this not the conservatives. When I hear conservatives speak I hear them address Americans as Americans, not some American-group. That is dividing the people not bringing them together.

Got no problem with it. I could careless what the rest of the world thinks when it comes to president. It isn't the problem of the President to wonder what county likes him, he just needs to worry if the American people like him. If he takes care the US and only the US then he is doing his job. If France prefers Kerry then that is all the reason more for me to vote for Bush. I don't want to serve under some foreign general because Kerry thinks the UN should take over a US action. I would go AWOL before serving under a foreign general that doesn't have the best interests of US soldiers foremost in his mind.
Quote:Regarding the 10 commandment anology, I suggest you read up on the events that led up to that and the audacity of the mayor to shove it down the throats of MANY more who were against it. You just don't hear much about that issue these days, do we?
2003-SEP-24: Ten Commandments poll: A USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll was conducted during the week of SEP-24. Results were released on about AUG-28. It found that 77% of the 1,009 subjects polled disapproved of the decision by the U.S. District Court to have the Ten Commandments monument removed from the rotunda of the Alabama Justice Building. 3 The margin of error was approximately 3.2 percentage points. That is, if the poll were repeated twenty times, that nineteen results would be within 3.2 percentage points of 77%"

I would say that public opinion supports the displays of the 10 Commandments.
Quote:Gee, I wonder why? Where's the largely publicized articles regarding it's tour around the country on a flat-bed truck?
Are you referring to the lack of articles? I couldn't answer that one, only to say that most of the news is controlled by a liberal media except for Fox news, which has had stories on the tour. I'm sure every town it comes to will run it's own stories as did Denver when they came here. The big media won't cover it though because it would have to be positive and they don't want a positive story on the 10 Commandments.
Quote:Is any of this making sense to you?
As a matter of fact no it doesn't. Your little one to two line responses don't have anything to say but "you don't understand anything". You have no meat in your posts but attempted insults that only show your ignorance.
Your right, when you can't debate but insult me then it is sad.
Quote:Wrongo, Baldimo.
The true division in our society doesn't have to do with race, or religion, or even political affiliation.
It has to do with economics. And the conservatives are the ones working to widen that gap, my friend, not the other way around.

I would say you are wrong. The above-mentioned groups transcend economics because you can be rich or poor and still fit into any of those groups. Being poor is just another subset to get used and abused. I'm part of the lower middle class and I don't have any issues besides trying to sell my house and finding another job that pays better. I don't blame the president for any of it because I'm the one that didn't get a better education so that I can have a better job. I'm 31 years old and should have had my BS when Clinton was in office. I didn't and now I pay the price. So to me economics isn't that big a deal because I know whom to blame for that one, and it isn't the president or the past president.
