While I am not a republican and I am a Bush hater. I find the irony of some one with a picture of Che on his page complaining about who gets the medal of freedom even more ironic. And is your background Karl Marx or Stalin? I can not see it. Tell me which political leader you have on your page that should get the medal of freedom. Maybe the medal of freedom should have been given to Bush himself since he freed about 26 million Iraqis from the torture of Saddams regime? Eh maybe not

You'll find that the background is a picture of Charles Darwin. Hopefully you know who he is.

You'll also find that Bush apart from destroying a middle east country actually supported Saddam Hussein. His father Bush senior even sold arms to Saddam so he could fight a war against Iran.

The idea that Bush has helped anyone is insane, he is guilty of hypocrisy and war crimes.

If you truly beleive he is guilty of war crimes & hypocrisy but Che is not you are the one who is insane.You can't pick & choose. Either you have morals or you don't. If you want to know why we are in Iraq perhaps you should ask Brzezinski the foreign policy advisor to Carter & now Obama. Its not just repubs that are bad the dems suck as well. The r's had us on a dog sled to socialism the d's now have us on a rocket sled to socialism. Darwin he is the one with a theory of some kind right? :-)

What's wrong with Socialism? The that term is used in America it is just void of content. It is used as a buzz word to attack others. "If they do it it's socialism but if we do it it's democracy"

Socialism in America has a different meaning than it does for the rest of the world.

Che isn't a hypocrite. He stood up for what he believed and fought against the U.S. backed dictatorship that was the Batista regime who were oppressing the cubans. The guy is a hero.

Che a hero!? You ARE insane he is a murderer. He has actually said that he wanted to bea killing machine. He personally killed thousands. Cubans arent oppressed now? Then why do they float on rafts through shark infested waters with an 80% chance of getting sent back? Socialism is a proven failed system of government. BTW Bush did not get kicked out of office he got re-elected. We have term limits on presidents in this country to avoid dictatorships. We don't like Kings remember?

The US still has sanctions on Cuba, that is a big contributor to the present situation there, although Obama is trying to have them relaxed so I hear.

Of course socialism on the whole is a failed system but that doesn't mean that parts of it aren't useful. America is more socialist than you realise. If it weren't for socialism the bail out wouldn't have happened and your economy would have collapsed for a start. Police, schools, libraries, fire dept in the US are socialist structures.

Would you pay to have the police come out to help you? I doubt it.

[tackman06]

@CrosshairJack I already pay for the police to come out and help me its called taxes you moron!

[tackman06]

When half the people get the idea that they do not have to because the other half is going to take care of them, & when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they worked for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing.

[tackman06]

Our sanctions have nothing to do with the opression of the Cuban government. I was against the bailouts from the start as I beleive it is nothing but socialism. The economy would not have collapsed if we didn't do it. We have since spent less than half the money. There is a big difference between public schools and socialism. I already pay for the police to come and help me its called taxes. Nothing is free it is paid for in taxes. Thats why socialism fails.
