Good to finally see some progress in this war, unjust as it may be however there is no telling what events can happen between now and then so its more of a prediction than fact.
This "war" is more of a police action than a war the Alien and Sedition acts would be passed in war where... heres the definition.
Under the Sedition Act, anyone "opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States" could be imprisoned for up to two years. It was also illegal to "write, print, utter, or publish" anything criticized the president or Congress. (It was notable that the Act did not prohibit criticism of the Vice-president. Jefferson held the office of Vice-president at the time the Act was passed.) While it appears harsh to current Americans, the act was actually much more lenient that the traditional British law of seditious libel.

LOL, I was just stating a fact
Conservitive: a strong ethical stance, traditions, some reform, less outsourcing to migrants, though have a weakness in the sence that there strong and unwavering dedication is easily misproceved by many as bullish
Moderates: Traditional at heart, however do tend to see more alternitives, main flaw is not much of their own voice, but tend to side with whats " in"
Liberals: "Vote for me in 07 because I hate that guy" Mentality, preach tollerance, and fredoms of speach, though if you speak an oppinion or thought they dont agree with or goes against them you have the ACLU breathing on you for one reason or another, bringing about moral decay, and honestly the biggest hippocrites in the "I'll vote this way, but when the TV cameras are on I'll SAY How wrong everything is and make it seem I was against it all"
funny how the democrats are so obsessed with kissing minority ass, and how " they are the only ones that understand" when it was the Democrats who wanted to keep slavery, and let the south succede..
they were VERY respectable in the days of Eisenhower, Kennedy...but have REALLY REALLY become weird
Libertarians are an interesting breed, I tend more and more to be siding with them,,,, though Im lazy and don't want to type anymore

Moderates: Traditional at heart, however do tend to see more alternitives, main flaw is not much of their own voice, but tend to side with whats " in" Not true in my case, sweetheart. I see both opinions, analyze them, and then make up my opinion based on what I feel is right. Here are just a few of my views.... MY LIBERAL VIEWS:-Womans right to choose -Marriage means anyone, aka. Gay Marriage -Embryonic Stem Cell Research -Enviornmental Protection -Far Right Wing Conservatives are destroying the world MY CONSERVATIVE VIEWS:-Less Government -Military Funding (also, I support the War in Iraq. You may think "gah, idiot", but for me it's more that I do not support the immediate withdrawl of troops because it would be a disaster. People complain now that troops are dying for nothing, but if we pull them out now they will have absolutey died for nothing. If we wait it out, then it is possible that a strong democracy in Iraq could come about. Then, the troops will have died for something.) -Death Penalty (I find it odd that Liberals do not support the death penalty yet they support abortion ) -Free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative lead to opportunities, economic growth and prosperity -Far Left Wing Liberals are destroying the world

Ya know? Im sick of hearing about the Iraq stuff. FROM BOTH SIDES. Hell I'm just sick of all the infighting that talking about politics spurns. Fuck it. Fuck it all to hell. Unfortunately politics are a necessary evil otherwise humanity would get nowhere.
