If the world just cut off all trade with Iran and the terrorist nations all the money they use for terror wold just dry up in short order. I mean ALL trade no relief, money, goods, no oil is bought, they really get nothing ! NO trade of any kind what so ever till they renounce terror permanently. If they renege just leave them in limbo for 50 or 100 years! NO nation can survive as an island. Do the nations that break the on trade senario the same treatment! Arabs only supply 30% of the worlds oil, surely we can cut that much! With any real concerted effort we could. Not every Arab nation will be in violation! So the decrease will not be that severe, 15-20% tops!

Express your views on its connection to our freedoms. My view is that any elected official could misuse this tool to support his party's position much like Nixon did, but legally. I see a connected to a sort of McCarthyism whereby if a person or group does not support the official stance of an administration they are somehow unAmerican and can be classified as being the enemy, making tapping of their communication justified...and furthering the party of the ruling party...which to me undermines our entire democratic system

My Dad owned the plot before he remarried.His wife is a terrible woman who forced me into sneaking around to visit or talk to my Dad in his final days. When he died she had him creamated and buried in this plot.My siblings and I were excluded from all the decisions and were not even told about his burial until after it was done.Her son dug the hole for the urn in the family plot with no preacher to pray or anything. The spot where he is buried is next to his older brother and both his parents(his whole family). Now this woman is in the hospital dying and her children are making plans to bury her ashes with my dad's. I have told them I would like if they buried her elsewhere because I don't think she should be buried in his family plot.( My mother was married to my father for 20 years and she never expected to be buried with his family. This woman was only married to my father for 10 years.) Her childrens' view is why should they buy a plot when dad's still has room for her.

They must other wise they wouldnt run as conservative and vote like liberals.

Judging by the postings of many left leaning cool aid drinkers many have fallen for the lies of the American Marxist Party, but its OK the Republican party will welome you with open arms once you stop drinking the coo laid and sober up. We are a party of Inclusion and we have a big tent!

If bnp come to power then they will kick out all non european whites. So what could this mean to britain's economy? well 3 days ago for the first time in history indian companies invest more money in britain then british companies do in india. What if say india and china decide to pull out their companies thats going to be a $30 billion defecit when you combine the investment from those countries into britain. Also say usa pulls out because usa now need india and china more then it needs britain. also the middle east willstop its millions of barrels that are shipped to britain everyday. which is another $60 billion defecit into britain economy. russia will take india and china side as they are planning a trinagular scheme between these 3 countries. Also australias economy got its boom by riding of economies explosion. Now australia is trying to ride india's boom. all african and asian companies will stop their investment in britain. British economy will literlay collapse overnight.
