Bill Clinton is the opposite of a sociopath, you dimwit. Sociopath means you can't get alolng with other people and try to hurt others. Bill CLinton is the ultimate people person. He is probably the biggest people person in the history of our country. Nobody can work a crowd or a room like him. He will even hold hands and look into eyes while talking to some grandmother or whomever. He makes people feel cared about, listened to etc. Learn the English language before you post. A dictionary would be helpful.

Also learn the meaning of the word "socialist". Bush is the biggest social spender in US history despite letting his cronies privatize some of it, thereby costing us tens of billions of dollars in profiteering and delivering fewer services to the people who paid for them. Every single western country, in fact almost every country on earth is technically "socialist". Canada and Europe are all very socialist. Every single ally of ours is socialist, and one of our biggest problems is our runaway health care costs, which means on that issue we should be MORE socialist because it saves a ton of money. When you retire, if you run out of money the "soialist" Social Security might keep you alive. Socialist Medicare might keep you alive. Socialist FEMA is supposed to protect us from natural disasters and other emergencies. The socialist Patriot Act and the socialist Dept of Homeland Security are also suipposed to protect us. You drive your car on a socialist highway. And our socialist military defensds the nation. Though Bush wasted tens of billions by privatizing part of our socialist military duties out to contractors who robbed us blind. Most privatization of social programs results in higher prices, less service and sometimes outright fraud. You will see this clearly when Halliburton is investigated by the Dems in congress. Privatization is an invitation to steal from the public. Socialism is the bedrock of every successful government on earth, so long as it's smart, efficient, honest socialism, such as we had under - yep, Bill CLinton, and also FDR.

We must hold tight to the Ruby Slippers...there must be some powerful magic in them if Hillary wants them so badly.

Liberals claim to prize freedom of speech above all human rights, so why is a NY university coddling those attempting to suppress free expression?: >>At New York’s Pace University, the Jewish student group Hillel says administrators threatened to “sic” the police on them if they showed the critically acclaimed film “Obsession,” after seething and whining by the Muslim Students Association: January 9, 2007 — Pace University administrators threatened to sic the cops on a Jewish-student club if it went ahead with plans to screen a critically acclaimed film about radical Islam, the head of the group charged yesterday. Michael Abdurakhmanov, president of Pace Hillel, said two deans warned that showing the documentary film would implicate club members as suspects in two hate crimes involving the desecration of the Koran at the university’s lower-Manhattan campus last fall. In addition, Abdurakhmanov said an assistant dean physically restrained him as he attempted to defend the film and his group in a meeting with administrators. “The message was pretty clear, if you show this film, you’re going to incriminate yourself,” Abdurakhmanov said. Pace spokesman Chris Cory acknowledged that officials encouraged Hillel to postpone the screening until tensions over the hate crimes dissipated, but dismissed the accusations of coercion as “far-fetched,” “implausible” and “unprofessional.” Hillel had planned to screen “Obsession” during Judaism Awareness Week in November. The school stepped in after receiving complaints from Muslim students that the film negatively portrayed Islam. Notice that doing something to a book is now being routinely labeled a “hate crime.”<< www.littlegreenfootballs
