Bush Orders Mass Bald Eagle Slaughter To Stop Spread Of Bird Flu

Do Other Nations HAVE National Birds?
I read this yesterday and was thinking of posting it too. :D
Have you considered purchasing your own website? It'd serve as a motivation to pursue further research on Magical Hexagons. On geocities, it'll remain in neglect for long periods of time.Quote:

Bush supports Intelligent Design and in order for the bird flu to become a pandemic it has to evolve. So is Bush wasting money on something that he dosn't think can happen?
Be quiet you. God has all the answers.
There's a horrible thought. He can't even sort out his own staff let alone the rest of the world :lol:Quote:

Maybe in time we will come to think of president Bush as the poor man who had to do 4 more years.
More likely we will think of him as one of the world's greatest leaders.Quote:

It's a little thing called the News, you should watch it some time. Many of his closest aids are under criminal investigation!Quote:

That's what all of you "Spoon Fed" Brits think. "Oh Bush this, Bush that..." Listen, Bush is not responsible for every little thing that goes on in this world. Unless you consider him God, and then that's understandable. If you knew anything about government, you'd know that the government works as a whole, both Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. What keeps Presidents from being "True Leaders" is called Checks and Balances. And you should stop watching the mainstream media, cause all they ever do is bad mouth Bush like you brainwashed Brits. :lol:Quote:

Spoon fed? The BBC News is seen as very impartial and thus very respectable, besides I always research a story from multiple places (Reuters, CNN, BBC etc) to get all the facts. Bush simply is not a good leader, he is too naive and is too opinionated when he should be impartial.
Don't like the guy. Any good leader should be trusted, and he is not trustworthy. Simple as that.
Oh yeah and "us" brits arn't spoon fed, we're smart enough to work it out ourselves. :p
Agreed :thumb:

from here
The worry is not so much the leader (Mr Bush) it's the 'free-minded' people who think that he's great.
Out of around 300million people you'd think they'd be able to find someone who is at least in command of his native language . . .

The Democrats would like to think that this shows there is corruption throughout the Whitehouse.
Many in the liberal news media hope this is true and are in some cases misreporting the truth to make it look so (what a surprise).
Now we learn that the prosecutor probably didn’t have all the facts and this indictment will go nowhere

So much for the news you are getting over there…
This is what you libs were saying about Reagan. Every time we elect a conservative president, we get the say tired old comments from the peanut gallery.Quote:

Yea, like Clinton? Talk about the worst presidents.Quote:

Good one moeur. :thumb:
And what makes things even funnier in the world of politics is that whenever a Democratic president is elected, all of a sudden in the back of all your liberal minds, the deficit is gone. We had and always had a deficit since the 60's when we had the Vietnam war, and it never has gone away since.
You libs are even saying that Bush is spending money like crazy. He does NOT have the power to spend money from the deficit. That's congresses job. And ever since he lowered taxes, I have been receiving $1500 tax returns every May! During the Clinton era, I've been only getting $100-$300. Cheap skates. Still think Bush is an idiot?
You libs keep saying that it was Bush's fault our gas prices are so high. The reason why our gas prices are so high is because the psycho environmentalists (tree hugging hippies) don't want us to do any more digging for oil here in America, and as a result, we have not had a new oil refinery in over 25 years, and have to depend on foreign oil. And ever since 9/11 and the hurricanes from last year and this year, the CEO's of the refineries and the oil companies have been price gouging the gas prices and the barrel prices just so they can keep their multi million dollar salaries.
It's funny you people say that we only have the Iraq war cause of the oil, yet at the same time say Bush is raising our gas prices. That controdicts itself all together, not to mention the President nor the government doesn't have the power to control the prices of products.
Digging oil in america doesn't make any difference in pricing since the amount is futil and according to your principals it is exposed to the market, wich is bloated with foreign oil.
I'm not gonna check the numbers, but are you sure you're not talking about debt, rather than a budget deficit?Quote:

Are you trying to say Bush doesn't have any power or say or effect or influence of any kind over how the government's money is spent? So the decision to approve millions of dollars to spend on the Iraq invasion and later reconstruction were done by the congress and without any active support from Bush?Quote:

Are you just out of the nursery or what?
Well, the truth is that the Iraqi war was fought for everything other than the reasons put forth by Bush, so the control on Iraqi oil is one of the biggest reasons behind the invasion. What Bush didn't reckon was the militants would blow up his plans and put the oil production out of order for many months to come.
Are you even remotely aware of the US-EU-Rest of the world conflict on the agricultural subsidies being offered in the US? And if you are aware of it, do you still want to say the government has no role in controlling the prices of products?
There's no free market anywhere, the only free market you can have is one that's controlled by you.

Get real dude. The checks and balances only exist on paper. If you believe anywhere on this earth you find a perfect system, you are a fool. No system is perfect, no government is perfect and it's time you came out of your textbooks and started learning the real life.Quote:

If Bush really isn't at fault, how do you explain nominating one's own buddy to the Supreme Court, who doesn't even have any actual experience of being a judge? And telling the nation to simply "Trust my judgement"? Is that how you think your government should be run? Almost in all the cases, it seems Bush's only real appeal to the people is "Trust me on this", "Trust me on that". I wonder how the people in the US can even buy such stupid arguments in such important decisions. I guess if your car broke down and if your mechanic told you something is wrong with the carb and you ask him why and he says "Trust me on this", I am sure you would check with another mechanic and try to get to the root cause of the problem in a more educated way than placing blind trust in someone. Too bad you don't think your nation's problems should be fixed the same way....

No, it's your opinion.Quote:

No experience is required. In fact it is only in recent times that we have actual judges nominated for supreme court positions. Who knows what was going through his head hwen he nominated her? It was probably a gesture to the Dems since they are the ones who had suggested it. The Republicans wanted no part of it however. But in the end it comes down to the fact that the President has every right to nominate anyone he pleases to the court, just as he has the right to pardon anyone too. Just ask Bubba Clinton about that one.Quote:

Not to control, but they can have some influence. For instance if they wanted to lower gas prices they could tell all the environmentalists to go to hell and allow the oil companies to build more refineries.Quote:

Conspiracy nonsense.Quote:
Well, the truth is that the Iraqi war was fought for everything other than the reasons put forth by Bush, so... Blah, blah, blah
It's a lot more free than you seem to realize. If the president had so much control why hasn't Bush lowered gas prices which would give him an immediate jump in the polls?Quote:
There's no free market anywhere...
Think about it this way Jacob... when the rest of the world runs out of oil who is going to have it? ;)Quote:

Feel free - I don't recall trying to stop you.

Let's be honest here guys. Bush is not very respected in the international community and since coming into power he has very much hurt the US and its relations with other nations (and whether you like it or not you need good relations with other countries). I hope for the US's sake a good president follows him
