Honestly, most European countries have more freedom than America.

Yeah right....:roll:

Look what happen in Stockholm, Sweden. A minister was preaching to his congregation that homosexuality was wrong and he was censored by the Swedish government. He was doing his job as a minister.

There's no Freedom of Religion.

In Germany, the Neo-Nazis can't meet and host a peaceful rally. ( I don't like Nazis but I am making a point here....)

There's no Freedom of Speech.

In the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia.), if one is a homosexual, you can be thrown in prison.

There's no Freedom of choice.

In Ireland, a woman's right to choose to have an abortion is banned.

There's no Freedom of choice.

In Russia--the news media is censored by the Government.

There's no Freedom of the Press.


In the United States...

A minister can preach to his congregation against homosexuality.

There is Freedom of Religion.

The Neo-Nazis can march and spew their ideas.

There is Freedom of Speech.

In numerous jurisdictions, homosexual can register/marry one another and not be worried that they will be thrown in jail.

There is Freedom of Choice.

A woman can choose to have an abortion or keep the baby.

There is Freedom of Choice.

We can print stories, opinions, news without Government censorship.

There is Freedom of the Press.

Thank God I'm an American.

As we approach yet another season of presidential campaigns, it is important to understand the goals and values of the individuals we potentially vote for. Every vote counts, right? At least that's what's been drilled into our heads since we were old enough to vote. If it wasn't said directly to you, then you heard it on television with trendy sayings meant to appeal to our generation such as "rock the vote."

We all remember Bill Clinton as the man who said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," just as we will remember those infamous words, "I did not inhale." With Hillary Clinton running for the Presidency, I have a few words myself,
"Can a woman really be President of the United States?" My answer is " OF COURSE! A woman can run for president. Should we vote for a candidate simply because they are a minority in the leadership position? Please don't. We live in a society that will always value what's trendy rather than what's right. After all, we are the ones who elected "The Terminator" governor.

First of all, these arguments have absolutely no validity, and should not be the basis for electing a woman into office. While I'm sure the feminists are having a field day with this, I am not satisfied with these blind statements. It is so hard to listen to people say that a woman would "nurture a nation" because she is used to doing the same at home.

Hillary Clinton has been a political figure for over 15 years. She was once the nurturing wife to a man who preferred a willing intern. While I'm sure she knows how to be comforting and caring as a mom and a wife, I highly doubt this is her political agenda.

A political figure of today should strive for success in areas such as environmental awareness, homeland security, national debt and overall loyalty to a nation. Whether this means you are female, male, black, white or orange, our leaders should have one common goal: to set the standard for our nation.

Yep, Knowing that every vote counts, I hope that we as voters are choosing a candidate based on the qualities that shape a great leader, and not for other reasons. Now more than ever, we will be faced with that challenge, as it is time to decide on voting for those with good credentials, or to vote based on race, gender or creed.

CNN/YouTube Democratic Presidential Candidate Debate transcript
QUESTION: Hi. My name is Rob Porter, and I'm from Irvine, California.

QUESTION: I have a question for Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Clinton, how would you define the word "liberal?" And would you use this word to describe yourself? Thank you.

(LAUGHTER)

CLINTON: You know, it is a word that originally meant that you were for freedom, that you were for the freedom to achieve, that you were willing to stand against big power and on behalf of the individual.

Unfortunately, in the last 30, 40 years, it has been turned up on its head and it's been made to seem as though it is a word that describes big government, totally contrary to what its meaning was in the 19th and early 20th century. I prefer the word "progressive," which has a real American meaning, going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century.

CLINTON: I consider myself a modern progressive, someone who believes strongly in individual rights and freedoms, who believes that we are better as a society when we're working together and when we find ways to help those who may not have all the advantages in life get the tools they need to lead a more productive life for themselves and their family. So I consider myself a proud modern American progressive, and I think that's the kind of philosophy and practice that we need to bring back to American politics.

COOPER: So you wouldn't use the word "liberal," you'd say "progressive."

(APPLAUSE)

No only just being a Senator for 7 years. She was a lawyer and first lady at the white house while her husand ran for president. So really that add more years to her experiences at the white house and then senator so pretty much add that up for being in the politcal bussiness over 15 years. I am sure she gain lot of experinces for pretty long time. So all that counts.

Whatmore, She did stand by him at the white house when her husband make mistakes. So she did stand by her man which makes her a nutering wife. But I am sure deep inside she felt the embarrasment but she did defensed him like any wife would behave.

Eleanor Roosevelt was First Lady for 12 years and a delegate to the UN for seven years but she didn't run for President.

Just because a woman served as First Lady and was a lawyer, that is hardly the kind of experience that makes her qualified for our highest executive office and commander in chief!

The White House Chef has probably spent more years in the White House than the former First Lady but that wouldn't qualify him for Commander in Chief.

Why do people think that a lawyer background qualifies someone to be the nation's top executive? What's so magical about a law degree?

Oops, you said that, not me. But I'm sure it's just a Freudian slip. :lol:

So she's qualified for Wife-of-the-Year. How does that qualify her for Commander-in-Chief? If Bill could pull the wool over her eyes like that, how will she be able to discern what world leaders are up to?

Well, I never said nothing about magical law degree, but being a lawyer does have a very good educational background to know their way around law system.

As for her being a wife standing up to protect him for his mistakes. But I am sure Hilary knew he did it. But she stood by him anyway. I am sure she was mad as hell for what he did. But then again I am sure lot of marriage couples do have their up and down.

how can Eleanor Roosevelt be the first lady for 12 years? 12 years in the white house can't be right. It only for 4 years term. So if her husband run for presidant again for another 4 years,, that would be only 8 years is the limit.

FDR was elected to four consecutive terms. He died shortly after beginning the fourth term. Therefor, he served 12 years (if he had lived, it would have been 16 years). He was married to Eleanor the whole time, so she was First Lady for 12 years.

The Presidential term limits weren't established until the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution in 1951.

1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Notes for this amendment:
Proposed 3/21/1947
Ratified 2/27/1951
