More young people (under 25) in the USA can name all of the winners of "American Idol" but couldn't name 5 things that the federal government is empowered to do as specified in the U.S. Constitution.

'he died in korea for that flag'
'that's funny- mine was made in korea' "

There is a link of Canadian scientists [not American left haters mind you] and they go over many of the flaws and lies in Gore's movie "A Convienient Lie"...hehe. Anyway...these scientist take the top 5 lies of the movie and with footnotes and references debunk the heart of Gore's movie.
Look folks. I agree the climate is changing but the left is usint that change as a way to push their own diabolical agenda. Here is proof. Why hasnt a democrat gov totally embraced solar panels on houses in the building codes? How about the wind. Google it and see how many advances there are. How about those torpedo things submersed in the water and the currents spin those blades and create electricity. You dont even see them! You can daisychain a couple hundred and put them in the ocean. other countries have been pushing this but we dont. If our left leaning brethern dont embrace it than global climate change is not what they say it is.

immediate full payment, then foreclosed on the lands forcing homeless Palestinians to move to the cities to get jobs? Then these homeless men were prevented from getting work because they were not members of the Jewish labor unions? Did you know that the British killed the Palestinians who would not give up their homes to Jewish families?

Everyone I know is like "Oh my god, she's so awful! She's so dumb! If she becomes President, I'm moving to Canada!"
Yeah, I can respect an opposing opinion-- but when I ask them WHY they dislike her, they end up saying something like "Ugh, yeah, well she's married to Bill Clinton! He sucks! He had an affair! Oh my god, she's so terrible!"
Sorry, but that makes absolutley no sense-- it's not a valid statement, it's not backed up or justified, and it just makes the person expressing such feelings look like a complete moron.
So, the question I pose to you is: If you dislike Hillary Clinton, WHY? What has she done wrong? I'd prefer an answer that doesn't mention Monica Lewinsky or focuses entirely on Bill Clinton.
I'm not looking for someone to agree with me or say "Yeah, she rules!", but rather someone who may dislike her but has enough brains and common sense to not make stupid, unfounded claims.
If you do happen to like her, feel free to express your opinions as well.
Thanks!

There is plenty of doumentation describing how Jews were disliked in Europe. No question there. The Biblical reference to the promised land is something which is only found in Jewish writings and not confirmed in any other literature contemporary with the writing of the Torah, so it does not have enough validity (sorry to those who choose to "believe"). Jews moved into Europe of their own accord during the time of the Crusades because they were the only major group who could travel freely between the Middle East and Europe. they set up trade routes and towns. for the last thousand years there has been no major event in the Middle East displacing Middle Eastern Jews . Can anyone tell me something factual that would convince me that my judgment is wrong on this issue?

First of all my husband has my ssn and banking account number. He has already lied to me about why he wanted my car payment info. He said it was because I submitted a new lease and finance HAD to know that info. Well, I've found out that he lied to me. In fact, he asked me that questions two months after I filed my pro se divorce, so really he is forbidden to get loans during a pending divorce. He is in Germany and forced me to stay in the U.S.

My question: I don't think he is stupid enough to get a loan in my name,. but I have every reason to believe that he got an advance on his pay, using MY expenses, not his. I know he bought a computer around that time. Would they give him an advance to buy a computer????? or maybe he bought a car. All I know is that this man cannot be trusted at all. By the way, I had the car put into my mother's name and he knew this.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I am looking for a website that I have found before that by filling out a survey online that it was able to show you what political party you fit into, and also shows where politicians like Bush and Kerry fit in. I believe it showed a diagram with four boxes, and showed where you fit into the diagram. Also, I know that one of the questions were whether or not us citizens should all have health care coverage whether or not they can afford it. If nobody knows this website in particular, a similar one would also be great! Thanks for your time!
