Ah, but read the second bit.

Presidential Debate 2012:

Democrat nominee Obama: You had nothing to do with this economic recovery, and it would have been even more robust if I'd been president these past four years.

Republican nominee Palin: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Sounds like you're envisaging another fast transition of…

How can investigation of an historical event be valid if only one version is allowed.

Let historians, journalists and other interested individuals have as many different interpretations of history as they like. This man was a servant of the state, with an obligation not to question the decisions of the…

I think the reason why certain Japanese folks keep bringing up Japan's wartime history is because they long for the time when Japan was a powerful and dominating nation.

But they don't need to look back that far. All they need to do is think back to the 70s and…

Japan should legislating a law that any glorifying and legitimizing Japanese aggresions and denial of war time artrocities was a crime will be punished. That will saving alot of unnecessary disputes and argues!

Seems it doesn't matter that, thanks to George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein is no longer running Iraq into the ground and Iraq and the world is better off for it, and that all Americans who pay taxes have benefited from Bush's tax cuts.

The election is almost over. I just wanted to share a side of McCain that most folks really don't know about and maybe never will even after the election. He's........well watch the video and put the politics aside. If he prevails Tuesday of course I will be happy. If Obama…
