Hypothetical Question?
If Dubyba were not born a Bush - but was born with the same brain, demeanor, personality, talents, etc, born into a middle-class home what would he be doing today?

This is what is sad to me - because we all know the answer, he would have been a nobody. Shouldn't we expect more out of those who become our President? What happened to the days in which we could expect our Presidents to have done great things, to have been great in their accomplishments. Bush's life story is void of any successes outside of being A Bush - he was mediocre in school, failed in every business endeavor, was a drunk until 40, and on and on. What is the matter with this country?

6. Too many damn gullible people and right-wing religious fanatics
People who are so dogmatic about their religion will vote for anyone who invokes the name of Jesus and God in everything they do and say even though they are responsible for the deaths of thousands as in this stupid-ass war.

I'm not trying to offend anyone's religion. I'm an independent thinker and appreciate everyone's right to believe in whatever religion they choose. I believe that the only way we will begin to solve problems worldwide is to learn to be tolerant of others' beliefs.

I heard Savage on the radio earlier this evening denigrating the Muslims...all Muslims, but particulary those in this country who are not--according to him--speaking out against the recent murders of those in Nepal??--I think that's where he was talking about. And he says they are spewing hatred!! What does he think he's teaching the people in this country???
