I want personal opinions. | |

It could mean anything. what do you expect? for Bird to admit that he advocates a system in which bankers steal from the poor and middle class? That he advocates the police state, the surveillance state, the destruction of consitutional rights and civil liberties? That he would rather kick the bucket and pass crushing debt down to his children rather than have to sacrifice cutting spending or stopping the drone bombings of children? To stop foreign aid which takes money from poor people in our country and gives it to rich corrupt regimes of other countries? Good luck. | |

| I want the constitution to be the driving force in government.
I want Government accountability
I want the government to suggest policies which their families will have to follow if set.
I want taxes to be something that support our nation not a penalty which it has become.
I want spending to be curbed so that my childrens children have a viable thriving country to grow up in.

| Here is what i don't want Government to do - kill americans with drones on american soil
Yes, the president does have the authority to use military force against American citizens on US soil—but only in "an extraordinary circumstance," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter to Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) Tuesday.
"The U.S. Attorney General's refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frightening," Paul said Tuesday. "It is an affront the constitutional due process rights of all Americans." Last month, Paul threatened to filibuster the nomination of John Brennan, Obama's pick to head the CIA, "until he answers the question of whether or not the President can kill American citizens through the drone strike program on U.S. soil." Tuesday, Brennan told Paul that "the agency I have been nominated to lead does not conduct lethal operations inside the United States—nor does it have any authority to do so." Brennan said that the Justice Department would answer Paul's question about whether Americans could be targeted for lethal strikes on US soil.

I want personal opinions. wow, thats a broad question you'd probably need a phd in polictics to give a proper answer to. i feel that a democratic government should be dedicated to providing healthcare, education and law & order for all among other things but society is disintegrating far quicker than politicians are able to legislate for it and few have the required intelligence or insight to legislate for it even if they did have the luxury of time. i've said before that what the UK needs is a bloody good civil war to sort the wheat from the chaff and i was only half joking. | |

hahaha, simple as that eh? get yourself on the phone to obama, i'm sure he'd pay through the nose for a consultant that knows how to sort everything out with a bit of common sense i'd love to hear the nailed on, common sense solutions to unemployment or immigration, to name but two issues. | |

I doubt North Korea has ten nukes, but its getting ready to pop off soon. How do you know this anyway? I work 300 yards from the fort knox airport so I'm wondering if I need to be prepared. | |

I didn't say they were North Korean nukes. I doubt they have 1 nuke that could reach my hometown. But seriously there are double digest nukes pointed at Lawton/Ft.Sill right now from around the World. | |

well that makes me feel better then I had an amazing history teacher that has since been called back to active duty. It's crazy because he would have these crazy secret meetings he would get called away from for years. My older sister(4 years older) also had him as a teacher and we always joked around about him being a like a Super CIA SEAL Ranger. He had some amazing stories with insane details. Best teacher I ever had. But yeah, plenty of big bombs have their targets set for the largest artillery base in the US. | |

There have been Korean soldiers trained here for years, I ain't trippin. I am. Never seeing them here before and now all of a sudden they're here makes me wonder what's going on. Not too mention the 3-1 brigade sending guys over there is saying it's gonna go down. | |

Technically the war never ended, it's just a cease fire. So we are still at war with North Korea, it never ended. | |

North Korea is a far greater threat than Iran... North Korea is already test firing nukes underground while there isn't even any solid evidence that Iran is capable of building one despite whatever false intelligence you might hear coming from Netanyahu.. "We think we need to come to a point where no country will have any nuclear weapons," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told a weekly news conference when asked about the test. "All weapons of mass destruction and nuclear arms need to be destroyed." Mehmanparast added that all countries should be able to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Doesn't exactly sound like the direct threats coming out of North Korea... | |
