Higher Priorities

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 24 Oct 07

The White House Press Secretary today said that the war in Iraq take priority over the wild fires raging in California. This was to justify the fact that, according to some reports, over 50% of the people and equipment needed to...

ConservativeArtist Hmmm.... let's keep thousands of resources on hand in the US, just in case there are wildfires. Besides, the mideast isn't really THAT important to the western world, is it? I think that people are grabbing at whatever they can, using any event, no matter how...

ConservativeArtist Congratulations on quitting! If you feel better, and are saving money, then quitting is a good choice. Besides this, it is NEVER too late to start getting healthy, whether through quitting smoking, increasing exercise, or changing the diet. The effects of...

DresWifey25 @DresWifey25 (22) • United States 2 Dec 06

I am a 24 year old Army wife and with all the drama and talk about the war and soldiers being killed , I am curious to know if us military wives are thought of by the general public. I personally don't think we deserve extra...

ConservativeArtist I have all the respect in the world for military personnel and their spouses. To have a spouse be absent for months at a time, even without the danger of the military, is a tough thing for me to imagine. Military wives have to be very strong, and they earn my...

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 3 Sep 07

I can't believe it! Fox News interviewed a Democratic Presidential candidate tonight on Hannity and Colmes! So maybe some of you myLotters who are more right of center actually saw it. Alan Colmes interviewed Sen. Joe Biden...

ConservativeArtist I don't get any of those channels any more, (Fox, CNN or MSNBC), but when I did watch them, I did not find Fox to be biased, at least compared to the other news outlets. All news is biased, one way or another. It's just good to know that on Fox, people admit...

should you Fear the God you Love?

barehugs @barehugs (8973) • Canada 5 Sep 07

ConservativeArtist I trust, respect and love God, because I believe that God is part of everything, and that through love and respect for God, fear of anything is eliminated. If we all focus on doing the right, principled actions because of love for others and God, then we have...

ConservativeArtist It makes just as much sense to get offended at the burning of any national flag as it does for someone to be offended enough at the country to burn the flag in the first place. If the flag-burner thought it was "just a piece of cloth", then they wouldn't...

We need KNIFE CONTROL - NOW!

Simply amazing. Please, read this article about sky rocketing knife crime in the UK. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007380447,00.html As a solution, it is suggested in the article that mandatory sentencing be...

ConservativeArtist I carry a knife, and would prefer it to a gun. I can see why criminals (and non-criminals like me) carry knives. They are easy to hide, legal, and quick to deploy. I can't speak for anyone else, or as to what should be legislated in the UK, but I would...

Should you teach your child to hit back?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 18 Aug 07

When I was growing up and going to school, often I was the victim of bullies. For some reason the really mean kids could always spot me in a crowd and found a way to make my life miserable. And, I swore to myself that my own kid...

ConservativeArtist I got bullied a little bit as a kid, and I wish I had learned self defense, just so I would have had the confidence to hit back. My wife and I were blessed with a little girl 9 months ago, and we have had this discussion. We certainly don't want our daughter...

ConservativeArtist I have heard this before, but I like it every time I hear it. To me, we have advanced in some areas, such as technology, but at the same time willingly given up some of the old wisdom and principles that made us better people.

ConservativeArtist Washington DC, USA. My State Capitol is Denver, (Colorado). I hear Jerusalem is a beautiful city (as is Tel Aviv, hence the name), and hope to someday visit Israel.

President of the world?

nickventere @nickventere (1420) • Zambia 18 Aug 07

Who would be your favourite for the position of President of the World? This is assuming the world united to form one global government. It would be nice to give reasons, too. And, oh, please feel free to even nominate past and...

ConservativeArtist Of course, practically, a World President would never work. There ARE too many cultures to be represented effectively and fairly by one person, even with a balance of power. I can say that Jimmy Carter would make a horrible world president. He made a...

ConservativeArtist With the amazing amount of access we have to different points of view, I cannot fathom why we would need a "fairness doctrine." How is this not a violation of 1st amendment rights to political speech? Why should the government be allowed to step in anywhere...

President Bush

logansgirl @logansgirl (18) • United States 31 Jul 07

What is your general opinion of President Bush? And why do you feel this way? I am curious of others' thoughts on this topic.

1 response

ConservativeArtist I like the man. Contrary to what everyone else seems to think, I believe that he is honest and decent and a true leader. Sure, he makes mistakes, and he gave the Iraqis a little more control than they could handle at the time. Sure, he seems a little arrogant...

cameras on street corners?

668435570 @668435570 (3) 18 Jul 07

alright there is a plan to put cameras on all major street corners as an attempt to lower the crime rate... now is this an invasion of privacy, or a potentially life saving use of technology?

5 responses •

ConservativeArtist If you are on a street corner, you are in public. Therefore, it can not be an invasion of privacy. I do not at all object to having cameras out in public- it can help bring criminals to justice. I WOULD of course object to having cameras in my house, but this...

ConservativeArtist Clinton wasn't a horrible president, but Bush is far better. He is a leader, not just a poll-watcher. He will take charge, and show terrorists around the world that America is not the weak nation that is afraid of conflict. Clinton pulled out of Somalia after...
