                  Michael, we agree with you that in a democracy like the United States, it is the responsibility of the people to remove inadequate
                 leaders like George W. Bush from office. Keep in mind that the majority of people voted AGAINST George W. Bush in 2000, but
                 our democracy was subverted when he was appointed anyway. Also remember that we don't have the chance to vote George W. out
                 of power until 2004. Many of us are struggling against him in the meantime to undermine his political power, butlegally, there's only
                 so much we can do. By the way, we love your emphasis on power of the people - a much more democratic statement than submission
                 to Allah or to any other god.

                   Praise Allah who is the Life in us all, Amen. What does the word "democracy" mean? It is derived from a Greek word meaning
                 "rule by the people". "Demo" corresponds with people, and "cracy" corresponds to rule, or authority. The people rule in a
                 democracy. So the people are responsible for what is done in their name by their government officials. Along with power, or
                 authority, goes responsibility. If one has control over something, then one is responsible for what that thing does or what one does
                 with that thing. So if George Bush makes war wrongly the people are responsible. They could remove him from office. A people
                 united and aware can change their government and its behaviour ef

                  Um, the challenge was to prove that George W. Bush is NOT stupid. Is this retort, that we should prove that Bush IS stupid, the best
                 you can do? Are you seriously saying that you cannot come up with proof of George W. Bush's intelligence? Is your only defense of
                 Bush that no one has proved that he's a complete idiot? We'll take your challenge, to prove that George W. Bush is indeed less than
                 brainy...

                  Is George W. Bush stupid? Let's start with the fact that Bush's advisors won't allow him to make un-scripted appearances. Unlike
                 presidents before him, George W. refuses to hold regularly-scheduled press conferences in which hehas to answer unanticipated
                 questions from reporters. The fact that Bush's advisors won't let the President speak for himself in public indicates that they don't
                 think that he's smart enough.

                  Is George W. Bush stupid? More evidence for his lack of intelligence is his inability to adhere to the basic rules of English grammar,
                 like keeping the same verb tense in a single sentence. George W. Bush commonly mixes the present tense withthe past tense. He also
                 mixes up singular and plural, unable to conjugate the most simple verbs in English. The most famous example is Bush's embarrasing
                 campaign question, "Is our children learning?" The correct sentence would have been "Are our children learning?" This skill is
                 taught in elementary school, so why can't George W. get it right?

                  Is George W. Bush stupid? His ignorance of the basics of history is a pretty clear example of the ways in which his little mind is just
                 not up to the job of President. In February, for example, Bush lectured the Japanese parliament about how the United States and
                 Japan had been allies "for a century and a half", when in fact, the US and Japan have only been allied since after World War II,
                 which ended just over 50 years ago. You'll also remember how when he was campaigning to be President, Bush had no idea who the
                 President of Pakistan was, even though the military coup in Pakistan had recently been in the news. Campaigning for President and
                 not bothering to read the newspaper sounds pretty stupid to me.

                  Is George W. Bush stupid? Well, he got below average grades in college and spent half of his adult life as a drunk, and some say a
                 cocaine addict. That's a dumb thing to do, and alcohol kills brain cells, so we know he could have ended up a lot smarter than he is
                 today. Driving drunk, which he admits to doing and has been convicted for, is definitely a stupid thing to do. Of course, his advisors
                 tried to keep that conviction off the public record, which is also what they do with his public comments and speeches - they censor
                 and edit them after the fact, changing the official transcripts to erase his mistakes! His advisors must think he's stupid if they have to
                 fix what he says - as documented in the Washington Post.

                  Is George W. Bush stupid? He doesn't even understand how the beliefs of his own church are different from the beliefs of other
                 churches, even though he goes to church every week! In 1994, George W said, "The Episcopal Church isvery ritualistic and it has a
                 kind of repetition to the service. It's the same service, basically, over and over again. Different sermon, of course. The Methodist
                 Church is lower key. We don't have the kneeling. And I'm sure there is some kind of heavy doctrinal difference as well, which I'm
                 not sophisticated enough to explain to you." He admits he's not smart to understand how Methodist theology is different from
                 Episcopal theology, so how can he understand the nuances of U.S. foreign policy?

                 Is George W. Bush dumb? He apparently is pretty fuzzy-headed about
                 the economy and basic mathematics. Last year, he was insisting that his tax cuts combined with increased spending would ensure the
                 continuation of a budget surplus. To professional economists, that idea seemed to be kind of stupid. They said so, but George W.
                 Bush dismissed their criticism. Now, it turns out that Bush has admitted that he was wrong, and that the United States will have
                 budget deficits for the next decade because of his fuzzy math. Heck, during the debates, Bush admitted that he had difficulty with
                 math that required a calculator. Is that smart?

                  Is George W. Bush dumb? He said he appointed Thomas White to be Secretary of the Army because White had great business
                 experience at Enron. Actually, White's former employees say that he was dishonest and helped to set up fake partnerships that
                 eventually led to Enron's bankruptcy. White responds that he had no part in the illegal fraud because he wasn't really in touch with
                 the operations of the division he was supposed to be in charge with. So, either White is either acriminal or grossly incompetent.
                 When George W. Bush appointed this man to run the United States Army, it was a very stupid thing to do.

                  Is George W. Bush dumb? He has no understanding of basic scientific concepts, and even worse, he makes up science in order to
                 support his own policies. He doesn't understand the basic science of global warming, genetic engineering, stem cell research, cloning,
                 abstinence education, contraception and missile shield research. Time and time again, he's gotten the science wrong on these issues,
                 even though the correct information was readily available. We're in the 21st century now, and we need a President who
                 well-educated and able to critically evaluate the science behind public policy. When it comes to scientific literacy, George W. Bush
                 gets a failing grade.

                  In just a few paragraphs, I've been able to cite many examples of George W. Bush's stupidity, ignorance and intellectual laziness. I
                 could go on for much longer. As his inept muddling with U.S. policy in the Middle East has proven, George W. Bush just doesn't
                 have the brains to be a good President. Since he's become President, the economy has faltered, U.S foreign policy has disintegrated
                 into a confused tangle, constitutional freedoms have been undermined, and environmental standards have been destroyed for the
                 profits of Bush's big oil friends. All that, and Bush lost control of the Senate in a non-election year! His presidency has been a
                 chaotic mess.

                  By reading this i have to wonder many things about the author, my biggest question; however, is why the author did not back up his
                 claims with some proof. The author did not give any reasons at all why he believes George W. Bush is "stupid". The reason why is
                 because there is nothing to back up his comments with. All the author is is a very moronic person trying to sound intelligent by
                 'dissing" our president. So, to prove me wrong back up your statement with some real evidence.

                  Leigh, it does not behoove you to feign ignorance as you accuse others of ignorance. As the article points out, Christian political
                 leaders are using the issue of legalizing mandatory prayer in public schools to further their own political careers with religious
                 conservatives. So too, the Meet Me At The Pole movement is intended to be conspicuous, to exert political, holier-than-thou pressure
                 to make Christian rituals like prayer mandatory for everyone. Shame on you, for feigning ignorance of the obvious political ploy of
                 Christian public prayer!

                  This was the most ignorant article that I have ever read in my entire life. I am a Christian and proud of it. That verse is not saying
                 for us not to pray in public. It was written to those who pray only to get attention from others. The most intimate place to pray to
                 God is in your room with no one else around, but there are times when us Christians feel we should pray not only in our rooms, but
                 also in church and in school. In my Youth Pastor's and my opinion we think that the way someone prays reflects how awesome God
                 is to them. The bible also says that God disires nothing more than to talk to us and we are not at home 24/7 so it is okay to take a
                 moment or two out of our day to talk and spend time with God no matter where we

                  Bill, you miss the point by a mile. You came to this web site and made the strong claim that the United States is not a "democracy."
                 You need to back that up. You have not. Meanwhile, I have backed up my claims with exhaustive documentation that the word
                 "democracy" as used in modern usage is consistent with the U.S. system of government.

                  You seem to be responding with the bizarre claim that widely-respected authorities on modern usage of the word "democracy" are
                 wrong. If people use the dictionary as a reference for what a word means, and the dictionary clearly includes an American form of
                 government as a legitimate case of the word "democracy," you're kind of spitting in the wind, Bill. What you're left with is "the
                 dictionary is wrong; the word means what I SAY it means." Kinda arrogant.

                  Bill, get it straight and think! You're arguing that the United States cannot be both a republic and democracy. Has it ever occurred to

       Comments: I was right. Bill doesn't let the facts confuse him. I'll offer some new information now, and he'll dance around it without addressing
                 it. Then he will insult me again. Watch for it!

                  I have read the bloody Federalist papers, so don't presume. They are a document of the language of the BEGINNING OF THE 19th
                 CENTURY. Furthermore, they are PARTISAN POLITICAL writings that use spin to further their arguments. Don't takethem at
                 face value or as holy writs. The only dictionary definition that agrees with Madison is Webster 1818, in other words a
                 CONTEMPORARY.

                  Fast forward two centuries, Bill, and you'll find that the word "democracy" is defined to include ideas like "republic." Shall I pull
                 out some more dictionaries? Nobody except those on the right fringe and two-hundred-year-old dead folks restricts the meaning of
                 "democracy" to direct, immediate, absolutely majoritarian rule. I used multiple bleedin' dictionaries to show you that. What does it
                 take, Bill? What does it take?

                  I think a previous poster had it right - you're using this linguistic charade, but really and truly you just don't like democracy of ANY
                 kind. You don't trust the average person to know what's best for them. Reactionary elitist snob.

                  Bill, a quote from the Enycyclopedia Britannica, hardly a lefty fruitcake operation: "The term has three basic senses in
                 contemporary usage: (1) a form of government in which the right to make political decisions is exercised directlyby the whole body
                 of citizens, acting under procedures of majority rule, usually known as direct democracy;"...

                  ..."(2) a form of government in which the citizens exercise the same right not in person but through representatives chosen by and
                 responsible to them, known as representative democracy"...

                  ..."and (3) a form of government, usually a representative democracy, in which the powers of the majority are exercised within a
                 framework of constitutional restraints designed to guarantee all citizens the enjoyment of certain individual or collective rights, such
                 as freedom of speech and religion, known as liberal, or constitutional, democracy."

                  So, Bill, is the Encyclopedia Britannica wrong, or are you?

                  A final set of quotes, from an Encarta Encyclopedia contribution, by Richard Pious, PhD, professor at Columbia University: "In
                 many democracies, such as the United States, both the executive head of government and the legislature are elected." Is Professor
                 Pious of Columbia University wrong, or is Bill wrong?

                 reading of Marx would have never exposed you to the federalist papers or any other works by the founders, you may not realize that
                 there is a distinct and marked difference in both the form and exucution of a constitutional republic and a democracy. Figure it out
                 before you dig your hole deeper.

                  Oh, and all those 'definitions' you prattled out, very nice. It shows that elements of democracy do exist in a republic, but just
                 because a dog and cat both have four legs, fur, and a tail does not make them the same animal. There are veryfundamental
                 differences. Differences so great that it alters the way in which they work so substantially that no one could say they are the same
                 thing. But keep trying, I am getting a good laugh out of your feeble attempts.

                 about your dictionary strategy. Which is the broader category? Democracy. Which is the narrower category? Republic. Ergo, the
                 former ought to include the possibility of the latter, but NOT VICE VERSA. You're thinking backwards. Duh.

                  Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary definition of "democracy": a) government by the people; especially : rule of the majority. b)
                 a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly orindirectly through a system of
                 representation usually involving periodically held free elections. Gee, option b) sure looks like it contains the notion of "republic",
                 dud'nit?

                  American Heritage definition of "democracy:" "a) Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected
                 representatives." Gee, that contains the notion of the REPUBLIC, dud'nit?

                  Oxford English Dictionary definition of "democracy": "1. Government by the people; that form of government in which the
                 sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them (as in the small republics of antiquity) or
                 by officers elected by them." OOOH, LOOK!!!! THE WORD "REPUBLIC" IS IN THERE IN SUBSIDIARY FORM! Is the
                 Oxford English Dictionary part of the vast left-wing fruitcake homo commie media conspiracy to make you look stupid, or are you
                 just wrong?

                  Cambridge International Dictionary of English definition of "democracy:" "the belief in freedom and equality between people, or a
                 system of government based on this belief, in which power is either held by elected representatives or directly by the people
                 themselves The government has promised to uphold the principles of democracy. The early 1990s saw the spread of democracy in
                 Eastern Europe. A democracy is a country in which power is held by elected representatives." Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!
                 The liberals are everywhere! They've even changed the dictionary definitions to include republics as a form of democracy while you
                 were sleeping! In merry olde England, even!

                  Wordsmyth Educational Dictionary definition of "democracy:" "1. a form of government in which power ultimately rests with the
                 people, either directly or through elected representatives." Hmmm, sounds like....BINGO! REPUBLIC as a form of DEMOCRACY
                 again!

                Don't expect pesky things like "evidence" and "dictionaries" to confuse Bill. He's got truth with a capital T straight from God. Let's
                 wait for him to shoot off some more baloney...

       Comments: Theodiclus Lock: To respond, yes most leftist are elitist pricks. But I was simply pointing out that you and most of your cohorts do
                 not know how our government works, or is supposed to, on a fundamental level. It is almost ironic that this mass of self righteous,
                 academic, intellectual wannabes does not even know that we are a Republic, not a Democracy. The distinction between our Republic
                 and a democracy is not an idle one. It has great legal significance. The Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of
                 government (Art. 4, Sec. 4). No state may join the United States unless it is a Republic. Minority individual rights are the priority.

       Comments:Chortle, chortle! "Cunstitutional Republic," what a good one there! Hee, hee! "Grade scholl" was a nice topper. The fruit cake thing
                 was a good insult, too. Oh, boy, I'm rolling on the floor here. Gotta get my composure or I'm gonna pee...

                  ...Sigh. OK: Oxford Modern English Dictionary definition of the "democracy": "1a) a system of government by the whole
                 population, usually through elected representatives. b) a State so governed...". A "republic", which provides for governance
                 indirectly through elected representatives, is a form of democracy under this definition. The original Greek simply means "the rule of
                 the people." Against that, huh? And Republicans have the gall to call progressives elitist...

                  I stumbled upon this site (unfortunately) and had to comment on the first words that came to my attention. "Excuse me, our
                 Republican friend has helpfully reminded us that "we don't live in a democracy." Ok, that explains things." That does explain quite a
                 bit. It explains the average ingnorance level of left wing fruit cakes like yourself. We do not live in a democracy, we live in a
                 cunstitutional republic. Big difference to anyone who remembers anything about even grade scholl civics. Just goes to show that the
                 fools on the Left who piss and moan so much about this great nation of ours, hev not the foggiest idea of how it works.

       Comments: I believe as a cityzen of the USA and as a christain that every individual should have the right to prey or not to prey in school
                 weather or not school or government officials feel it should be allowed or not. Our children today for one have no understanding of
                 the truth of God. If they don't receive the teachings of of christ in church or at home were else can they go. The bible is a living
                 testment of jesus christ and istructions for all humans poor, rich, small large, black or white. For one thing the bible teaches
                 disipline, truths, instructions to teach a person to become spiritually and mentally mature. After all God did inspire spiritual prophets
                 to write it.

       Comments: Jesus taught this because the people of the day weren't giving to charity for the right reason. The people were giving to charity,
                 mainly the pharisees, so that they would look good in front of everyone else. People were giving to charity so that they would look
                 good. This is obviously prideful. One is to give to charity to help others, the underpriviliged, to help them, and to hopefully give
                 glory to God. Unfortunately, the people weren't doing this. They were doing it for their own pride, so that others would look up to
                 them. Bush, on the other hand, wants to give money to charities so that people could be helped. Now, maybe he has some secret
                 ambition that I don't see, but I see this as a guy who wants to help his country.

First and foremost, just because people claim Christianity, doesn't mean they are true christians. I don't think any educated person would consider Milosevick (Spelling?) a good Christian man. While the OT is a very good source of information, it is a covenant that is not in use anymore. The OT covenant was if you follow God, good will happen, if not, bad will happen. As harsh and calous as it sounds, that is how it was. As a consequence, the Jebusite, Amorites and the like were "detestable" in God's sight. Theycommitted child sacrifice, sexual immorality and so on. They were not followers of God. Therefore, by the covenant he made, he had them destroyed. Now a days it is different. The covenant isn&...

                  About public prayer, Jesus was talking about the Pharisees once again. They would pray in public so people could see how pious
                 they were and adore them. This is wrong, it was prideful. Jesus was preaching against that. He was saying, to them, that if they really
                 meant it, that THEY would pray in private. And, about the See you at the Pole, I've been there and we do it for Christian fellowship.
                 So that Christians can get together and pray for instituions we feel are lacking. I bet most of the readers here have never been to one
                 and have no idea what they are talking about or about they are reading.

                 I have to say, though, in all my arguments with people who support His Fraudulency, not one person has made a viable argument,
                 articulated in clear English, as to why it's *inaccurate* to say George is stupid. Not one. So I want to hear it. Where are the people
