As Chancellor, GORDON BROWN has:-
Handed the power to control our economy to non-elected bankers (control of interest rates), creating the most debt ridden society ever, in the history of Britain.
Increased overall taxation to extortionate levels (up 80%).
Used underhand methods of taxation (stealth taxes).
Raided the pension funds of millions of workers.
Penalised married couples by removing their married tax allowance.
Supported Blair’s Iraq debacle (which has resulted in thousands of deaths, and wasted billions of pounds of taxpayer's money), Supported all the other disastrous Blairite policies.
With a record like his, surely he deserves to be booted out of office, not given the job of Prime Minister?

Especially in light of recent events, one of which being the decapitation of Saddam Husseins half brother as a result of being hung. This surely is an inhumane form of execution. What are your ideas on the subject?

The Doomsday Clock was supposed to be reset today...instead the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists will launch a whole new web site tomorrow and make a "major announcement".

http://www.thebulletin.org/index.htm

The Doomsday Clock has been maintained since 1947 and has never been set below 2 minutes to midnight.

Scared yet? You should be.

It's not a story that the national press will spoon feed you.

Bush and his gang will never directly admit this goal and just because he hasn't--doesn't mean it isn't so.

Our national media is owned by interests that will benefit right along with Bush and his buddies if we succeed in stealing the oil. Not to mention that our airwaves are afoul of pundit puppets that try to jam the rhetoric of the elite down our throats, convincing their listeners to "stay the course" and fight the "war on terror."

Iraq was a country that had National Laws preventing Foreign Interests from making a profit off of their Oil resources. We go in there and dismantle their government into chaos and through W's puppet Government those laws are all of the sudden thrown to the wayside in favor of a set of 30-year private contracts with American and British Oil Co's.
Many other rationale's for war have popped up and he's used them as convenient explanations for committing this sinister set of acts!!

I am so bored with whinging Scots like the SNP leader Alex Salmond and his followers bleating on about independence. If the majority of Scots want to break up the Union then let them. I for one won't miss subsidising them through the disproportionate Barnett formula. And let them have the proceeds of North Sea Oil -it's almost run dry anyway. Arriverderci Scotland I say - just don't come grovelling back cap in hand when you are no longer supported by English tax payers.

Even in face of pure common sense it seems politicians can not make a good decision. Lets take for example the recent news about supercasino's in Britain. Despite it being obvious in the first place, and secondly being pointed out by various professionals that casiono's are going to result in an increase in gambling addictions and crime it appears that the governemnt are still considering the possibilty of bringing casino's to this country!! What idiots!!!

Is that because Jews were persecuted in past by European Christians, so Ammericans want to compensate it? Or it is because Jewish community is very influential in USA?

Haviing just seen one of the failed bombers hide behind it to try and plant a bomb, then there was the killing of Sharon Besinisky and it was used for the killer to leave the country. How can we tell who's entering the country or leaving it, when they use it to hide behind, even honest and moderate Muslims must see the sense in banning it !!

...Easy...It is because I am amazing and they have no idea on how to combat me without losing their tempers and trying to demean me in some way...Silly emotional/irrational liberals....That`s why you hear liberals proclaiming their intellectual superiority so much.....They feel the need to. They are insecure. They know true conservatives can blow them out of the water at will with rational thought processes...Silly liberals...Oh...What do you think ?

Check out all the new evidence on YouTube. There never has been a steel building that collapsed from fire. Aviation fuel burns at utmost 1200 degrees. It takes over 2700 degrees to weaken steel. Check it out. It looks more and more like a despicable lie to generate fear and support for an illegal war.

Please don't give the answer that the Iraq people are backward deeply religious people who are not just ready for total religious freedom. Today, United States is a deeply religious country, and it worked here for over two hundred years.
The good people of Iraq also deserve freedom of religion as quickly as possible to stop the present religious wars.
Cut out more troops and bombs, and run it right with the super power of the word
