Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb
Today you have the opportunity to ask questions of the
Green Party's candidate for President of the United States,
David Cobb. Standard interview rules apply: we'll select a dozen or so of the best questions and Mr. Cobb will give us his answers next week.
We have a current sitting President that see's nothing in his instance of over ruling scientific findings on stem cell research and yet claiming that other Islamic fundamentalism is wrong..
How does your party stand on the issue of going forward into a secular modern USa society in the US or going into civil war between competing fundamentalism explotation of the world's resources??..
Sigh ... he hasn't "over ruling scientific findings", he's used his executive authority to direct federal agencies in what they should do. In "what should we do", he is guided by his faith, as opposed to his whims, feelings, "logic" without any axioms, trendy anti-religiosity, etc.
Oh, and by the way, Islamic fundamentalists cut off innocent people's heads. Your head is perfectly safe, should you decide to visit a fundamentalist Christian church.
Why do you think it is that Slashdot ignores my preference setting to turn "Politics" off? Do you think Slashdot is the worst site in the entire universe for political dialogue, or should we wait until all the SETI@Home results are in?
If you and Michael Badnarik
had a baby, what would it look like?Got Milk?
I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
How about his absurd budget of "spend more, tax less"(only Transportation and the Treasury had their budgets lowered this year, and many areas of government saw huge increases)?
How about the genoeva convention breaking guatemato bay prisons?
How about the almost unprecidented act of actually sending the country to invade another country which wasn't even at war with anyone?
How about ending a 10 year ban on low-yield nuclear weapons research, an act which could encourage other countries to step up similar research?
And breaking international treaties concerning the weaponization of space for a nearly useless orbital anti ICBM orogram?
How about doing nothing at all on September 11th, 2001 for nearly half an hour after news that the second plane had struck the world trade center, then hopping in Air Force One and doing more nothing?
The fact that he's openly contemptuous of the two hundred year old seperation between church and state is troubling.
though I guess it's nothing compared to a thousand US soldiers who had to die in the aforementioned irrelevant war of invasion and the ensuing occupation.
The changes to the constitution which he wanted certainly seem scary considering what traditionally made it into there, but I suppose it IS a two hundred year old document. Gay people didn't exist back then.
The PATRIOT act isn't that bad either. After all, as long as you don't piss anyone off, you have no reason to be afraid of it...right?
Maybe it's just because four years is such a long time that you have forgotten why nearly everyone who knows what's happened during his reign wants to get someone in there who will stop trying to turn this country into a radical left wing experiment in economics, foreign policy, the military, law, and international politics).
Frankly, I have to wonder, with the recent resurgance of pro-republican support, whether anyone actually has any idea what the fuck the government has been doing for the past 4 years, and how liberal most of it is!
It's a damn shame when people have to vote for a democrat to try to change things back to the way they were.
It's been a long time.
If I'm reading between the lines, your saying Saddam shoud have been left in power along with his two sons. Yes?
Also, get your facts right. Bush is a conservative, NOT a liberal.
"Fuck yeah you will!" "Don't try this emotion bullshit with me, because you're the one who has been riled up into a "freedom is...good!"
Sounds like your the emotional one to me, not I. And I don't give a damn about the history about the middle east. It means nothing in your argument because EVERYONE desires freedom. Unfortunately, it takes force to pave the way in that part of the world. But it's the for the better.
Oh, and in case you haven't been reading the news, Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi agrees with bush and is thankful we Americans jumped in to liberate them. Talk about egg on the face to those that opposed this war in the first place. I must admit, I'm grinning. Talk about Iraq giving Europe and the UN the finger. Ohhh the sweet irony!
Life is not for the lazy.
