Wow.. it's so amusing to watch people manufacture so-called "facts", when even a 30 seconds google search can disprove them.
May 2003A Gallup poll made on behalf of CNN and the newspaper USA Todayconcluded that 79% of Americans thought the Iraq War was justified,with or without conclusive evidence of illegal weapons. 19% thoughtweapons were needed to justify the war.[9]

Ira, It seems to me that you are confused about where conservatives stand oneducation: they support BETTER education for American children .
-------------------------------------------------------------------
like teaching creationism in science class alongside or even instead of evolution.

Михаил, bravo...you have excellent google skills..(Y) I am so very proud of you...;-)
btw, spoke to my conservative American friend about drug legalization, he told me he would only be for legalizing stimulants - during the WWII it was very American to be productive, and everyone was on stimulants...:-)
there are tons of things that mean to be American - different for the government and for the citizens...
one would be not expecting the government to take care of your problems...btw, the republican solution to healthcare reform is very American imo - they want to PROMOTE (not provide) general welfare - by enacting certain legislations and regulations..totally different than what dems want to do...

it's absolutely un-american to push an unpopular bill
----------------------------------------------------------------
lots of unpopular things were shoved downpeople's hateful, ignorant throats -like the civil rights act... just because something is unpopular doesn't necessarily
make it un-american, it just reflects the ignorance of the masses.

Issomething popular because the media says so?
And the media - of course is unbiased, right?;-)
Or becuase, some polls say so?

... and I thought You, the people, should think for yourself, and make your own opinions, like was pointed out to me by... some participants here.

Oleg and Svetlana were calling unpopular anti-american, which by itself sounds like an anti-american statement

I thought you claimed to have excellent comprehension skills...what was said was that when the government is pushing something that's not supported by the vast majority, then it's un-American...but anyone is free have any opinion they want, but don't expect us or Americans to say that some concepts are American, just because some support Government health-care takeover or other non-sense...it's not - they clearly violate the principles this country was founded on!

Hmm.... if something is unpopular among a person and his/her 5 friends it does not mean that it is "grossly unpopular" among the rest of the Americans. Some people just have difficulty in extrapolations... which they probably missed in school -- because it is a self-serving, elitist and far-from-real-life place....

but don't expect us or Americans to say that some concepts are American,
--------------------------------------------------
us who?the brainwashed otb's who don't have a clue about the principles this country was founded on. no wonder you didn't refer to yourself as an American - you're not and never will be.

1. I think some people here enjoy misunderstanding others.
2. Aleksey, do you know 5 people who support Health care reform in its present shape?
