On May 1, a million illegals (95% Mexican) took to the streets in protest because they were told to do so. Now in Mexico City, millions more are in the streets protesting because someone told them to. This is the inherent problem of Mexico - the people have no initiative to stand up and change their lives for the better. Here in the U.S. there are many examples of individuals or groups that saw injustice happening and got off their butts and did something, among them:

- Martin Luther King Jr.
- Cindy Sheehan (anti-war protester)
- The Guardian Angels
- The Minutemen
- The NAACP
- John Walsh (son murdered, now catches criminals)

..... and countless others too many to list. Mexicans obviously do not mind protesting, so they need to protest the corruption and poverty in their country and demand that the government stop squandering the wealth of resources that exist in Mexico.

All I want is a reason. "well, i'd rather give a democrat a chance to fix things before letting another republican get in office just to mess things up even more" is not a reason. "to fix EVERYTHING the REPUBLICANS screwed up!" is not reason. " What plan do the Democrats have to make you want to vote for them?

Israel claims it's justified in bombing civilians because Hezbollah mingles with them. In fact, the militant group doesn't trust its civilians and stays as far away from them as possible.

Throughout this now 16-day-old war, Israeli planes high above civilian areas make decisions on what to bomb. They send huge bombs capable of killing things for hundreds of meters around those targets to destroy them, and then blame the inevitable civilian deaths -- the Lebanese government says 600 civilians have been killed so far -- on "terrorists" who callously use the civilian infrastructure for protection.

Top generals see threat of Iraq civil war By Kristin Roberts and Vicki Allen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iraq is caught in the worst sectarian violence yet seen and faces the threat of civil war, two of the United States' senior generals said on Thursday, three years after the U.S. invasion.

"Sectarian violence probably is as bad as I've seen it, in Baghdad in particular," Army Gen. John Abizaid, the head of U.S. Central Command, told a Senate hearing. "If not stopped, it is possible that Iraq could move toward civil war and we will lose.
Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, the most senior U.S. military officer, also said there was a "possibility" of civil war in Iraq, where the violence has claimed about 100 lives a day. Asked whether he would have seen a chance of civil war a year ago, He replied, "No, sir."

Abizaid, said there is no way now the U.S. can win in Iraq. We are going to lose the war in Iraq Abizaie stated. The USA will have "EGG" on its face. We are going down.

Bush did it for the oil.Bush did it for the oil.
Why would Bush go half way around the world to take oil ,when he could use imagration as the reason and take Mexico?
He could offer visa's and citizen ship to ensure an easy take over.
With the liberal spin look at it close it makes no sense.
It would not take ships to bring it to us could just pipe it to Texsas. I think this makes more sense than going to Iraq for it.
What do you think ?

Everybody complains about who is running the country no matter who it is anyway. As long as we have control of the world, then we are ok, so, I think the only time we should worry is if we are attacked on our own soil.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials


Can we not see these types of transparent lies spammed over the American landscape today by our "elected" administration? Are we not becoming a completely Fascist nation (if not already there)??
