News & Events - July 2006

Our facist-like terrorism policies of paranoia are absolutely insane: Infiltrating peace demonstrations & candle light vigils, spying on your phone calls, arresting people with t-shirts merely saying "Veterans for Peace" or "2,245 Dead. How many more?", torturing and detaining innocent people without trials - http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/31/1435225.

The list is very long! How can we possibly say we're 'spreading democracy' when it's slipping away completely in our own country? Really, we're doing the work of the terrorists on ourselves now. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"...

Do you think Joran Van Der... had anything to do with her disappearance?

I realize this is old news but I was just curious how others felt about this.

They appear to be deliberately hiding behind civilians against the wills of those civilians, and particularly behind women and children.

I would like to know why people seem to feel that what I do with my body is any of their freakin' business. This is a return to the dark ages, people. Not even in the event of incest or rape??! My body, my choice. No one owns me.

"South Dakota voters are leaning against the state's tough new ban on abortions, a poll released Monday shows.

The statewide survey of 800 registered voters found 47 percent opposed the strict ban, while 39 percent favored it. The remaining 14 percent were undecided. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The Legislature voted overwhelmingly earlier this year to make abortion illegal in all cases — including rape and incest — unless the procedure was necessary to save the woman's life. It was to become law on July 1, but opponents gathered enough signatures to delay it and to let voters decide in November whether the ban should take effect."

If you don't know, Destiny Norton was a 5 year old girl who lived in Salt Lake City (in Utah) who was lured into a neighbor's yard, suffocated by the neighbor, and put in the cellar to rot. After being down there a while, he went down and raped her body. So, this guy has a past history of domestic abuse and other cases. In my opinion, this guy should have at least been put in prison years ago. What do you think should happen now? Some people strongly want the death penalty. I'm against it. Not only do I think that we rarely have a case where we can take another's life, BUT, more importantly, I think he'd suffer more for now in prison.

I have one on my car and it was stolen recently. I think we can support the troops without supporting the war. The troops are simply doing their job. They don't have the luxury of quitting, if they do they lose their right to own land or a gun in the US due to a Dishonorable dicharge, and forget finding a job.

just read a response off an American I quote "I envy English people. Life seems to be better there than in the U.S. I know crime and poverty is everywhere, but really, really bad things seem to happen to the U.S. that don't happen to other countries (such as England). I know the subway bombing was pretty bad, but that's one example and happened over a year ago. How many subway bombings happen in the U.S.? One a day, a week? Too many, if you ask me.
I also envy English weather.
Overall, I like English people. Have no beefs with them."

Is this true and if so who is responsible?

Everything Israel and the US does in the war against Islamic Mohabists and Jihadists is magnified and scrutinized to no end, but anything that the TERRORISTS have done has been treated with a blind eye and a deaf ear kind of approach from our biased, anti-American, anti-truth, anti-Israeli, leftist, warped, openly liberal media. Calling the UN's, the media's, and the majority of Europe's views about the war on terror a double standard and completely one-sidedly anti-semetic would be an understatement. Israel has the resources to end this war as of today, but if they did they would face condemnation that would be unprecidented up to this point from the pathetically weak "world community." They would hear that same BS about using "unneccessary force." It's a very sad day when the majority of the world would rather see a war continue, countless unneccessary deaths because of a prolonging of the current conflict, and terrorists triumph than to see "good guys" win. The world today is sick.

Why is everyone making such a big deal about Mel Gibson ranting under the influence? It is more important that he was driving under the influence.(80 in a 45m.p.h. zone). I could care less what he said. His actions could have killed someone, but not his mouth.
