I don't mind an alternative viewpoint, in fact I love counterarguments, because it either changes my mind, or allows me to strengthen my own argument. But when all you do is post articles and never engage in dialogue, you suddenly become less of a participant in the dialogue and more of an agenda-driven person.

There are several like him on both sides--left and right--and it's very annoying. I can't think of any reason to post on this board except to engage in good, honest debate and strengthen your opinions and your knowledge. I think guys like Rick are here for other reasons, and it's rather unfortunate.

hi gulfbreeze and good morning to all. i heard the bush speech at the u.n. this morning. gwb did make an honest effort to bring our country together with them. he said , we are working to free all and you need to do your part to help your peoples freedom too.

bush proposed a democratic fund [to organize freedom places to vote]to and we will be the first to donate to the fund. i wonder who will second that , england? the third? israel?
fourth? sums it all "human rights". is this the greatest human rights speech ever by a country?

there is a hint today where israel maybe given more power to police the middle east. how far would the unrest go if israel didn't police there? my reason that u.s.a. is selling them 5,000 smart bombs.

just heard the donation to a party , you can't give to them if you are under 17 yrs. old.

so , i think when kerry said , two brothers made some bracelet,sold them and gave the proceeds to the kerry election fund. hmmmm.

rush says gwb made one of the best speech of his term in the addressing to the u.n.

you probably know what body language. did anyone notice how many arms were folden when he was speaking? so you can see where we stand with the u.n , period.
