The reason our leaders are so selfish and care for no one but themselves in this era: they're all old hippies.

Free love and marijuana was all about self-gratification.

"Don't trust anyone over 30," has now become: "Trust no one under 30." See how they do that to keep everything in their domain?

G.W. and several others joined the National Guard to avoid being drafted to Vietnam because back then, the National Guard was only used to guard the nation. G.W. changed that, knowing that others would probably try his stunt. Old hippies are also hypocritical.

G.W. also sampled drugs, participated in 'free love' and other hippie era things. Which would make him normal for his 'age group'.

If we can survive the 'Hippies Rule' era of our nations government, the X generation (1980's) will move in and replace the 'old-young guard'.

Hold your breath and pray we don't get nuked or overrun before then.

What do you think? Am I right about this?

(they already make roughly $155,000) ,yet not find it necessary to increase the minimum wage (At $5.15 per hour, a worker who works 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year earns $10,712 per year)?

"The minimum wage is lower than it has been at any time since 1956," said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee. "Congress' refusal to raise the minimum wage shows an utter disrespect for millions of Americans who work hard every day and still struggle to meet even the most basic needs."

Before this silly debacle over Coulter, I already knew that Sheehan was using her son's death to validate her misguided ideology and drive her popularity. I remember her smiling from ear to ear as the police carted her off in Washington D.C. and how revolting that image was to me. Sheehan simply could not control her satisfaction. Coulter is overly brash but absolutely correct about Sheehan and the four widows. Sheehan has been allowed to continue her controversial behavior and pointless adolescent worthy stunts as liberals try to provide her with a teflon cloak against any criticism.

Coulter is one of the closely monitored people in the world. Every word is studied and closely scrutinized. Yet every liberal anti-Coulter website can only come up with the same dozen or so arguments and "coulterisms" to refute her. Liberals are deathly afraid of her. Coulter's accuracy is above 99% which makes her the most accurate writer in popular media and absolutely lethal to liberals.

In response to An Inconvenient Truth, Gore faces the challenge of proving myth versus fact. National Geographic.com asked scientists to affirm many of the films' assertions. They found he underscored the devastation, and only disagree on when distaster will happen. Who among us does not believe in Global warming?

But re-enlistment numbers in the military are higher than ever? People who have been there and seen the good we are doing know the score. Stop watching "The Daily Show" and talk to an OIF vet. Some will ***** and moan but the re-enlistment numbers speak for themselves.

Why is it that Bush doesn't get assassinated for the bad stuff she does when the good people get assassinated for doing good. Lincoln did nothing wrong, but got assassinated anyway. Bush has done nothing good, but hasn't gotten assassinated. Why is this so?

The ENTIRE campaign platform of the DNC seems to be wrapped up in defeatism of the United States. Think about it:

They oppose outsourcing cheap labor even though our jobless rate has fallen. The new jobs in the US are HIGHER PAYING than the jobs outsourced.

They propose withdrawing troops from war areas before the peace is secured just so they can oppose President Bush about something. I understand that most liberals in the DNC are anti-war hippies at all costs, but this is crazy.

It seems like ANY good news for the US is a defeat for the DNC. Real personal wealth going up, record job growth with higher wages, and soaring receipts into the Federal treasury contradict their notion that Bush has ruined the economy.

Thousands of terrorists killed or captured and Al-Quada's fighting ability being reduced to IED's contradicts their notion that Bush has lost the war.

If you're entire campaign is wrappen in anti-Bush, will people actually vote for you?

I am asking for serious answers only. I have been talking to marine recruiters about joining the reserves for now, until I get out of college. I have not yet asked them about what people in the reserves do. Can they deploy you if you are in the marine reserves and still a full time college student? What sort of infantry jobs are available to reserve soldiers? I can't find them on their website. Do they have a paratrooper division like in the army?
