Independent is good, they are the 20% of the population that actually thinks before they cast their vote. I registered Rep. because I wanted to do the primaries.

If thats what you want to believe, I mean the war did range on for many years after the bomb was dropped. And the Japanese hardly put up any fight at all on Okinawa (sp?).

Yes, I vote and I love it. I am thinking of donating some of my time to the Rep. party. It depends on who they run. I'm a progressive republican which means I am left on social issues but on economic ones I am to the right. The problem out here in California is that Republicans keep attempting to run Social Conservatives which I dont like.

did not 'end the war'
Simons grasp of history; he claims the bombs did not end the war. I'll just leave it at that.

Well, it appears my post was deleted, what a shock.
My points were basically this:
- The dropping of the atomic bombs saved many lives; if you are faced with 2 bad choices (1) drop the bomb that kills 200K people and (2) fight without the bomb which kills 2 million people how is it moral to make the choice that kills the greater amount of people
- The Euros come to their conclusion that 2 million dead is moral (as opposed to 200k) because of the following reasons
- Euro's have always been anti semitic and they still are when they are not burning synagogs or stuffing jews into ovens they are bitching about the Americans because we stop them from doing what they love best - killing jews
- Because we stop Euros from killing jews they hate us and like it when we die. They figure if enough Americans die we wont be able to stop them from killing their jews.
- Therefore euros will always see as moral the option that kills more Americans choice number (2)
Read it quick its probably going away.

California is a f*ked up state, I know I live there. We have a group here in California called MECHA, its window dressing tries to portray itself as a group that exists to help Chicanos up the economic ladder. This group exists on most college campuses and some high schools and does get state and federal money. The problem with this group is that in reality it is no different than the clan, search their web sites (the ones they link to from the university sites) and see what they have to say. They hate Jews, White people, Black people, Spanish people (which they are actually descendants from but will not admit), basically they hate everyone except themselves. The group wants to remove all non-chicano people from the American southwest and have their own little land called Aztlan. Their slogan is ‘everything for the race, nothing for those outside the race’.
I know every racial group has its racist scum, and I realize the world is imperfect and jerks like this are always going to exist. I have two problems with these people. First, why are my tax dollars and school fees going to support their little hate clubs. Could you image if a white group had these same ideas and wanted to form clubs throughout the UC and K-12 education system. People would be outraged righteously so. And second, why is their behavior not challenged by the press. Bustamante, the democrat running for gov. in California belongs to this group, (if you remember he is the same guy that used the word n*gger and a black history celebration). The press is silent, they attacked Arnold because his dad was a nazi cop, but Bustamante belongs to a group that longs for a racially pure Aztec government to rule of the American Southwest and they say nothing.
Insanity, I love California but it will make you sick sometimes.

If unemployment is under 8% Bush will win in a landslide. If unemployemnt is as high as 10% Bush still could possibly win, depending on the Democrat running. The only real Democratic threat to Bush is Liebermen (sp?), he is a moderate, and has foriegn policy credibility; plus people might vote for him just to piss off the islamonazis, and jew-hating euros. Unfortunatly I dont think the democratic party is capable of nominating him. If the dems nominate dean it will look like the 1988 election, and the democratic parties rush towards irrealivance will be accelerated.
