Well, let me try to explain to you what it means to live in America.

General aviation is part of our country. [Airlines are commercial aviation, different issue] It's something that many Americans enjoy. We do it as sport, hobby, convienence and competition. It's part of our way of life.

Just because some fanatics attacked our country using airplanes, it doesn't mean we are going to stop flying. It doesn't mean that we are going to close down airspace around cities where small planes fly. It means we will take more precautions and possibly stronger regulations to prevent a repeat occurance.
Some things have changed. Life may be a little more difficult. Regulations are enforced and security is tighter.

However, there is no way in hell we will ever give up our way of life or any freedom in our country because of the actions of some terrorist. To do that, to live our lives in fear, to take away any portion of our way of life, is surrenduring to the terroist in defeat.

just in principle, and without wanting to refer to anything specific: would you agree to this statement: "One person's (nation's) freedom ends where that freedom starts to limit the freedom of another person(nation), nobody has a right to live at the cost of somebody else", a simple Yes or No would be enough?!

Yes or No

I take this evasive action as a No.

Only some Americans are of European extraction, not all. How typically European of you to think so.

Yes. And you think you escaped your history just by moving in another part of the planet? I hope not, this would be very foolish.

Actually that's exactly what the Americans of European extraction did. We left you. That's why we call it "The New World".

This part I agree with.


The rest looks like a trap......

It still doesn't answer the question what should be done. This inability to produce a positive plan of their own is, I believe, the Democrats major failing and the reason why they lost control of the congress and the white house in the first place.

Hey, don't get me wrong Brad. If you're right about numbers 1-3 it might actually put the Dems back in power, but then they are going to have to come up with something more substantial or they'll be back out again in short order.

I know. If they get some power this November it will give them a few years to make it or break it. The only thing I can say is time will tell.

I often wonder why the Democrats put up with Charlie Rangel. I believe he's responsible for more lost dem votes than just about anything else.

Because if the dems say anything, racism would be screamed and most voting blacks are democrat. But you knew that anyway.

I knew what Brad? Fear of racism accusations don't stop the Dems from badmouthing Rice, Powell, or Thomas. It's no secret to anyone that Rangel is a REAL racist and as such he alienates a far larger number of people than would be mad if he were dumped like they did to Joe Leiberman. Besides, how could anyone claim racism if someone like Obama were to drive the effort?

Loose 5 votes to save 1? Sounds like a penny wise pound foolish approach to me...

It's the voters that make or break who's going to be their politician.

Yeah but it's the party who encourages or discourages challengers to the nomination. Is Rangle that powerfully entrenched with his constituency that suitable replacement cannot be found?
