What do you think George Bush would do if someone in his administration told him Santa Clause wasn’t real?

Would he ...
#1 run to Dick Cheney to tell him the bad news
#2 try to pull out one of his teeth so he could ask the tooth fairy if this awful news was true.
#3 Bomb the North Pole

I’m thinking all three. Whatever it is I’m just glad I’m not the person who has to tell him

I'm a liberal, accepting and loving person of all races, religions, etc. Maybe it's just me but, if I were to uproot my family and my life to move to a different country where it would be better for me, I would take it upon myself to learn their language. It offends me and really pisses me off that in an engilsh speaking country, the best one on earth, has to start adding spanish words to our public signs and private lives to adapt. I've even met immigrants who REFUSE to speak english! I live in Michigan for Christs sakes! If you're going to travel, move your whole life and the lives of your children, go through the process to become legal, or risk being here illegally, why the **** is it NOT improtant to learn the ways of life here?!? I understand that it's they're heritage and they're proud, that's fine but, THEY made this choice!

I'm talking consenting adults. If all parties enter into it, live it and are happy, why is that wrong or different from say a long-term affair?

I also mean people who will support themselves, not live off of the welfare system, raise their children in normal societal conditions not reclusive communities, and abide by the laws of the country.

Personally, I can not see what the issue is.

It seems some people in this country would rather see America fail in fighting the terrorists than for the President to get any credit for a job well done. They complain that we are losing (which we are not), and in the same breathe condemn any efforts to win.

Marine in `Fahrenheit 9/11' Killed in Iraq

Staff Sgt Plouhar, is seen in the 2004 film approaching prospective recruits in a mall parking lot.

pot anymore?

Now, before my fellow Democrats get upset with me, I don't believe that one myself. But take a look at the email I received from one of the right wing nut jobs on this site:

Subject: hey, moron...

Message: Maybe if you could just lay off the wacky weed, you would quit asking such stupid questions on this site, reconsider your idiotic support of Hillary Clinton, and regenerate enough of your dead brain cells to realize that you are living in a liberal fantasy world.

You might even come to your senses and become a Republican. How about it? Just one week without your bong... what do you say?

(end message)

Sounds like your typical deranged conservative "thinking" to me. Any thoughts?
