Ahem, what have you been smoking? All three branches of the govt. in Washington are controlled by the Republicans. If Washington looks like its controlled by lefties to you, maybe the problem is YOU.
In numbers maybe but most of them that stay in the belt are so scared of what is being said about them in the media they do not vote that way. You know full well that the education admin is not run by conservatives either.
Nice try though........
I don't know what it's like down your way, but up here in Illinois the educational administrators are appointed by elected school boards and can be dismissed by those elected school boards.

The same Washington that has a Republican Congress, a Republican White House and Houston's own Margaret Spellings (former Bush aide) as Secretary of Education? That bunch of lefties?

The NEA is a lobby group. Those stats mean nothing when it comes to how the education systems works.
I would think that the NRA donates much more money to Republicans than it gives to Democrats, but that has absolutely nothing to do with how guns are or aren't legislated.

They're also (if I recall correctly) the largest teacher's union in the country... guess what happens when a teacher doesn't "toe the party line"?

The A rabs and I ranians are giving them the perfect excuse to continue their policies.. and that can only continue down the path to a REAL WORLD WAR. But hey.. they will get others to go in their place...as they have done over and over.

If only the world were as simple as you describe it.
Unfortunately the Left in America has ignored the fact that Iran's pres, Ahmadinejad, is the second coming of Hitler. Am I exagerating???? No. He has made it very clear that his intentions are to "Wipe Isreal off the face of the earth".
Now, Ahmadinejad probably doesn't have the means to do that right now, but he is trying desperately to develop those means. As of now the only difference between Hitler and Ahmadinejad is the Means... Not the WILL.
This war between hezbola and Isreal was a proxy war between the US and Iran. That is all it was, and unfortunately, the US came out on the losing side. We looked like a bunch of pussies IMO. Like it or not Isreal is an ally of the USA, and it is our job to help them and defend them. We know Iran is helping Hezbolla!
The lefties in this country do NOT have the stomach for a war with IRAN. But, it needs to be done.
The lefties make the mistake of blaming the US for the problems in the Middle east saying it is US policy there that causes the problem. It is just not the case.
It is simply religious ideology in the region. It always has been, and always will be!
Until the world wakes up to this fact, we in the west are in deep deep shit. Our middle east policy is not going to change the minds of the Muslim fundamentalists.
If the US left the middle east tomorrow do you truely believe the fighting there would stop?
Do you think Terrorism in the west would stop?
Do you think the attempted irradication of the Jews would stop?
Do you think we should wait until someone like Ahmadinejad gets nuclear weapons.
War sucks. But sometimes they are nessesary. Iran's government needs to go... Sooner rather than later.

Ah, the ultimate scare tactic. Does he cut the arms off little boys? Do they use Christian babies to make slurpees?
Ahmadinejad is another democratically elected saber-rattling, loudmouthed bombastic leader who likes to hear himself talk. (We have one of those ourselves.) If he invades France you might have a leg to stand on when comparing him to Hitler. As it is he's a lot more comparable to Musharraf (except that Ahmadinejad was elected and Musharraf is a warlord who took leadership through force.)

>problem. It is just not the case.
Correct. They cause their own problems. We then choose to make those problems ours.
We're sticking our arm in the garbage disposal here. Should we blame the garbage disposal? Perhaps. But a wiser choice would be to remove our arm.
>We know Iran is helping Hezbolla!
Of course, just as we are helping Israel.
>If the US left the middle east tomorrow do you truely believe the fighting there would stop?
Not for quite a while. Eventually they will either kill each other or figure it out on their own. And then _they_ will solve _their_ problem.
>Do you think Terrorism in the west would stop?
Again, not for a while. Eventually the old hatreds will become focused on those who are actually doing the killing, as always.
>Do you think the attempted irradication of the Jews would stop?
Nope, not immediately. Nor would the attempted eradication of Muslims. Both sides would continue to hammer away at each other.
>Do you think we should wait until someone like Ahmadinejad gets nuclear weapons.
If the end result is a Cold War instead of a hot one - yes. We won the Cold War. We didn't win the last two hot ones, and we're not winning the hot one we have in Iraq now.
>War sucks. But sometimes they are nessesary.
Agreed. We should use our military to defend the US against those who attack it, as intended.
>Iran's government needs to go... Sooner rather than later.
Then let them vote someone else into power. That's what democracy's all about.

Get it right. There are rights and wrongs here.
Israel is right, we support them, so they are right.
Hezbolla is wrong, we are against them, people who support them are our enemies, so they are wrong.

Sure it is. To touch on your primary issue, that we should go to war with Iran, the only reason that Iran is a problem right now is that the CIA interfered and helped to overthrow Iran's stable Democracy. You reap what you sow.
