The Real McCoy

In the greater scheme of things, what are everyone's opinions on the most pertinent issue our country presently faces? All thoughts are welcomed and encouraged.
 
Probably should have included "Preserving traditional family values" and the "War on Terror"... oh well, there's always the "Other" option.
 
I voted for these:

Balancing the budget
Reducing the size/power of the Federal gov't
Withdrawing from Iraq
Energy reform/finding alternate fuels.

I would also add to that list ending the war on drugs, and encouraging scientific ethics to minimize the possibility that we'll destroy the world in the next couple decades.
 
The 10 option limit is too small for a poll of this nature.
 
I voted:
Balancing the Budget
Improving International Relations
Finding (cost effective) Alternative Fuels
Other

Other being the reduction / elimination of the national debt because I don't want to be screwed 40-50 years down the road.
 
Take care of the energy problem and a lot of that other stuff will take care of itself as well.
 
In America?

Upon our own soil?

Bias; Nepotism; Cronyism; Greed; Covenance; Corruption; politics.

How about Integrity; Loyalty; Unification; Fellowship; Common Interest.

Do as we say, not as we do. That has become our national insignia, save the subjective cognition of the masses.

The constitution. Has anybody ever heard of it?

nuclear holocaust and the annihilation of the human race.

you now have nuclear capable countries (Iran-Pakistan-Israel-India-China) that hate eachother alot more and who are alot less stable than were the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. during the Cold War.

No one knows that answer for sure but maybe it will be over when terrorist attacks are at the level they were 40 or 50 years ago.......

Right. If we don't win, the Iraqis will reconsitute their navy and come over and invade us, based upon the fact that we have weapons of mass detruction and have invaded countries, and to install a proper form government. When they do, some good Americans will cooperate with them and assist them, while many bad "terrorists" Americans will oppose them.

40 or 50 years ago, terrorists were attacking all the time, against the occupying, err, liberating nations of Europe who were trying to show them a better form of government.

So when they invade us, are you going to cooperate with the invaders or be a terrorist?

Are you calling the U.S. invasion in Europe in WW2 a terrorist attack? After all the Germans never attacked us..........Never mind I already know what your going to say......:roll:

You supported the invasion and it's YOUR FAULT (and your political counterparts) that Iraq has the potential for becoming a terrorist stronghold in the first place. You're like a CEO who bankrupts his company, then claims the board shouldn't fire him while the company is in such a desparate financial crisis.

Even if the democratic government continues to gain support in Iraq, it is nothing more than an article of faith that this will somehow magically end the insurgency.

Actually I was referring to post WWII colonial independence wars against Britain France Belgium and other colonial powers. They were getting terrorist attacks all the time.

The Germans never attacked us?
