Politics & Government - 17 July 2006

It seems to me the Congressional Black Caucus operates within a publicly funded institution and publicly endorses racist policies (advancing the well-being of people based on skin color at the expense of others) and yet is not challenged by the Fourteenth Amendment. What gives? Is this not the 21st century?

Should we put him on trial like we did with Saddam Hussain? Should the U.S. not tell anyone until we pull our troops out of Iraq and just keep him in jail until then?
or..should the troops decide what to do with him and just say they found him dead ? or whatever your answer might be

I get so tired of hearing all this "Bush should be tried for war crimes" garbage. Especially when nobody can state any specific law he has broken. So, if you think he is a war criminal, tell me the specific crime he has commited, I want SPECIFICS. Sections, title codes, etc. I want to see some evidence, too. Simply doing something you don't agree with is not a crime. Every president does that.

In 2002 Bill Clinton told a Jewish audience “The Israelis know that if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die,”

i have read that in order to be called a rocket in the military it doesn't have a guidance system. if that is the case, how is hezbollah able to hit haifa from over 30 miles? or are they using missles which have a guidance system? in addition what is hezbollah using as lauch pad as i assume their rocket batteries are unlikely to be truck mounted as katyusha rockets were when they were developed by the russians.

I used to be proud of U.S. currency. It was green, cloth-like, durable, and beautifully intricate--unlike that crappy European monopoly money. However, ever since the anti-counterfeit design changes to certain bills from five or so years back, I feel that U.S. paper bills feel a lot cheaper to the touch. In addition, the Treasury has done away with beautifully ornate border designs (especially on the twenty) and replaced them with white space, politically correct fonts for the near-blind, and has even added splashes of color to what used to be a distinct and legendary series of GREEN bills. What gives? Our currency is going down the toilet.

The prisoners were taken as POW, but the jews are not responding in such ways as u respond to these situations. Instead theve killed many innocent people and yet nothing is being done yet. JEWSSSS

The state of Israel has been dealing in an arrogant, selfish, dirty way with its neighbors since its establishment in 1948. It used to kill civilians with no mercy, launch raids against innocent people, assassinate leaders, destroy houses of the Arabs in west bank and Gaza strip with and without a reason, take the lands from Arabs and give them to Jews in an unfair way.

Israel keeps talking about Terrorism, but is there more terrorism than what Israel is doing against Gaza, and Lebanon today, just for 3 soldiers that were kidnapped.

Israel has been occupying arab lands since 1948, and this is against all the ethical, the human and the religious laws. There is nothing justifies the ocuupation of the other's lands, nothing.
So don't you think that what Israel has been doing since 1948, makes it a body that can not coexist with its neighbors, and that it will live in a state of eternal (no-peace) that will, sooner or later, lead to its destruction.

WASHINGTON A Washington-area gang behind a string of bank robberies reportedly used AK-47 assault rifles that a former US soldier had smuggled/Stolen from Iraq, investigators said.


The string of hold-ups in 2004 was notable for the overwhelming firepower used by the gangsters, eight of whom were later questioned, including two who became government witnesses, the Post reported Sunday.

Seldom is such firepower assembled in the United States, where guns are widely available, but where fully automatic models, which fire continuously as long as the trigger is pulled, are highly regulated.

The gang robbed six banks, and one officer, Kate Collins, chased their getaway car, armed with just a 9-mm pistol.

When her vehicle was shot it rocked the whole car and she new she was out gunned. As the gangs sped away they said "Thanks to the American Soldier!! It's the American way"!! Later the soldiers stated the USA Government allowed them to steal the guns. American way..They said.

OK FIRST OFF LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT I HATE, AND I MEAN HATE THIS "N" WORD. IT IS PROBABLY MY LEAST FAVORITE WORD. YES I AM A WHITE DUDE AND SERIOUSLY 90% OF MY FRIENDS ARE BLACK.

IT JUST BOTHERS ME HOW IF A BLACK DUDE CALLS ANOTHER BLACK DUDE THE "N" WORD ITS ALL GOOD, BUT IF A WHITE DUDE TURNED AND SAID IT TO A BLACK DUDE THEY WOULD WANT TO BEAT HIS ***. JUST MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

THE WORD HAS ONE MEANING AND ONE MEANING ONLY, NOT BROTHER, SISTERS, FAMILY, OR ANYTHING. IT IS AN INSULT THAT WHITES CAME UP WITH A LOOOOONG TIME AGO TO USE TOWARDS BLACKS TO BRING THEM DOWN.

SO WHY IS THIS OK? ITS NOT!!! SO EVERYBODY JUST NEEDS TO SHUT THE HELL UP WITH THAT "N" WORD
