The haven
t, because they havent got the ability. Im not American, but it breaks my heart to see a once great nation going down the plughole under Obama, the worst president ever, and his Democratic Party. "Yes, we can" has become perhaps the worst political slogan of all time. Orwells "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" comes to mind as the REAL slogan of the American Democratic Party. If Obama and the Democrats continue on power for much longer, I think America will become a socialist dictatorship, if it hasn`t already.Posted in: Dems to voters: You may hate us, but GOP is worse

I love the Tea Party Movement and its leaders. Roll on November, when the Democrats will be defeated!

Obama has really sunk very low this time, but has shown that basically, he is racist. He does not deserve to occupy the White House. I hope decent Americans, of all creeds and colours and none, come out in force and oust the Democrats from power. I hope they do the same in 2012 and get rid of Obama, too. The man has lost it, totally. He obviously knows he is in trouble, and this shows his desparation. Roll on November!

"Theory" in the case of Anthropogenic Global Warming, means something without basis in realist. Same as evolution, really.

The theory of man made Global Warming is just that - a theory. Most of it is invented by leftist governments and the leftists in the UN, EU, and Environmentalist groups for political purposes. In short - one big LIE.

I admire Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck very much. I wish them, and the wonderful American people who support them, every success in their efforts to win back America to common sense and decency.

What lovely peopl these extreme Islamists are. They use violence on those people who reject their "faith" and they oppose the human rights and freedoms of other people, especially Christians, gays, and anyone they dont like. I suppose we can expect more of this kind of behaviour from these people in the days ahead. What a hate-filled religion!

This souns very Orwellian to me. I dont like it. In the pre-war days, and also during the Secon World War, Japan had "Thought Police." Neighbours spied on their neighbours, and reported everything to the police. That system is the basis for the Japanese "chonaikai" system in the present day. Basically, it is used to keep everyone in subjection and make sure no-one strays from the group ethos. That is one of the reasons japan is the mess it is. This "Nippon Civilian Police" idea is a bad one.

I believe it is wrong of this pastor to burn copies of the Qu`ran. It will incite the fanatical Islamists to further violence. However, under the American Constitution, which is built on the principles of Freedom and Equality for all, he has the democratic right to burn anything he likes and also express his opinions.
Those same rights do not exist in Islamic - dominated countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen and other such places. In those countries, Christians and people of other religions are persecuted and murdered, and their Bibles and religious books are destroyed. Islamic Shariah Laws as practiced in those countries are also barbaric to those of us who enjoy freedom of religion and conscience.
There is no doubt that fanatical Islamism is an evil doctrine which has led to barbaric acts in recent years, and this pastor has the right to express his opinions. The sad fact is that in the West these days, the political correctness disease is rife and our freedom of expression is being curtailed, particularly if it concerns any perceived criticism of Islam.

Obama has Marxist tendencies, so I am not surprised by his desire to tax the wealthiest. The one good thing is that he will also have to tax himself.

Congratulations, Japan. However - "World Series?" How many countries have Baseball teams?? Something of a misnomer, I think.

Why are there so many cases of vicious child abuse and also infantcide in Japan? The abortion rate here is one of the highest in the world, too. Abortion is the main form of contraception here. The government needs to take action on this issue, but will it? Saitama is particularly bad for this kind of crime.

"The dolphins killed are not endangered" No, they are just speared to death in a grossly barbaric way. Another example of Japan giving its fingers to the world. Taiji "culture" is barbaric in the eyes of the civilised world.

This story makes for sad reading about once-great America. As an outsider looking on, I feel very sorry for America. However, they did vote in the Democrats and Obama, so they actually brought this disaster upon themselves. They have the answer - kick the Democrats out of Office in November, both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Follow that up in 2 years` time, if America is still a democratic country, by kicking Obama out of Office. That will go along way to solving the problems.
