How so? It's not like blatant racism or unwarranted prejudice can completely corrupt one's judgment of current events.
And besides, Fox News is "fair and balanced." It must be true, it's in their slogan.

thanks hbk... you've been repped

another question

why did the framers create a system of appointing judges that required cooperation between the president and the senate?

^ It was just another addition to our system of checks and balances. It's to ensure you don't have all conservative judges...or all liberal judges appointed over the duration of a President's term. It makes it more of a gradual process instead of an immediate change and shift in power.

^^thanks man alot, i'm also having trouble with this one aslo

The Framers of the Constitution made sure that the military would always be under the control of the nation's civilian authorities. What constitutional provisions ensure this control? what attitudes regarding the military and government does this insistence on on civilian control suggest?

if you got an answer for that i'll give you all my rapworlds cash

I'm guessing, it's just to prevent the United States from becoming a police state or falling under the ultimate control of an individual.

Civilian leaders are elected, whereas military leaders are not. Civilian leaders are held accountable by their constiguents. So by granting power to elected officials (President & Congress) the actions of the military are regulated.

how come no minority or woman has ever been a presidential candidate?

Well my friend. Those who are young, are less likely to rationalize, analyze, and make proper decisions. I don't think women have been in office due to the fact that they have a monthly friend. *sarcasm* Or maybe because women are more likely to be takin for granted. Thus the majority of the people listening to her wouldn't believe much of what she has to say rather than a male. It's the same ball game as the battle of the sexes we play in everyday life.

To be honest, It's never about who's president. There's a hell of a lot more going on behind the curtain. The president is basically just a poster boy covering the bigger picture. I'm not getting into it. Hope that gives you something to go by.

That's not true.
