Kruska | Don't get me wrong Kruska, I'm not singling out the German people. ANYBODY who thinks the USA is a greater threat to world peace than Iran is clueless, and that includes a lot of the far-left nuts in my own country.

Country:  | Hello TO,
Don’t worry I don’t get you wrong, and the best part is, once things become rough or these peace sissies feel their knitting sessions in danger, they will be the first ones to cry out for the Army to go in, just as happened before.
Regards
Kruska

Country: | Although the percentages you posted may be correct I don't think it represents actually who votes. IIRC only about 30% of those that can vote, actually do.
Talk about majority rules!

Country: | OK, I think I understand. To make sure let me repeat in my words and you correct me if I am wrong. The voters who believe that they need a more comprehensive social services network, such as perhaps, childcare or single mother assistance, public housing, food stamps or assistance in buying food and of course, healthcare for all, SHOULD vote for representatives who will take funds from the public treasury and provide these services to all who say they need them. In your view these people do not vote in the appropriate numbers. Have I summed up what you are saying? | |

Sometimes the Gov't should help those out in need with training schooling etc . Just for an example a girl gets pregnant (rape or something similar) would it not be prudent to assist her so that she and her offspring are not going to be a draw on the public coffers and end up being productive. | |

Country: | Well, to begin with, PB, you are talking about the classic definition of the downfall of the democratic form of government. Njaco, of course, raises the question that if a single mother gets public assistance for one offspring, then she may have the incentive to continue to bring those types of offspring into the world. Are you aware of the fact that more than half of black children in the US are born of unwed mothers? Surely, you are not proposing that public assistance is only available to those mothers who have been raped?
