Mary Matalin, Jennifer Dunn (from my own state of WA), Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingram, Ann Coulter, Kaye Bailey Hutchinson, Elizabeth Dole, and so many others come to mind. Their beauty, strength, virtue and intelligence make these women some of my personal role models.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet
him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air =
balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet =
above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and =
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much
help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you have no idea where you are or where you're
going.

I swear, I am going to ask this same sort of question for everything that I post which is removed. What if I'm studying for a movie and I want it to look real? "With this knowledge, you could steal cars and our whole social structure could break down!" No. You're wrong. I know how to steal a car. Walk up to someone, point a gun at them and say "give me your car or I will dust your arrse, beoch". Sorry a-r-s-e is some sort of cuss word for Yahoo. Google wouldn't do that to me, would you Google? Good oogly Google.

I swear, I have been called more nasty names, but have seen A lot LESS reasons, thinking, links, or some kind of clue as to WHY-
...I ask a reasonable question, and get called inflamatory names- this is immature and another clear example of poor leadership skills-

first -just stop it-
second - have you read ? the Yahoo Answers terms of Service and community guidelines- because you are in violation (for being vile)
third- your no longer in the "winning" team, cheating, name calling, lying or just living in denial-
the people who know the truth will pick out everything your doing wrong at each turn of the "mile" - throwing a fit is so babyish-
but I know there is a lot of immature people here who tend to make the cooler heads look bad-

I have many right-sided friends who also are very cool-headed and propose a good argument- that is fine by me-

the name-callers are all going to be sighted- I encourage all who agree- right or left, to "flag" those with the vile insults

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replied: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week." The florist was pleased and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open, there was a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop came in for a haircut and, when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money; I'm doing community service this week." The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there was a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later a Republican came in for a haircut and, when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week." The Republican was very happy and left the shop.

In the United States, there are many, many people that have either come from other countries, or have ancestors from other countries. Well, although I am going to be specifically addressing Mexican-Americans, this goes for all.

For many years, I had gone on referring to myself as a Mexican-American. I even, at some times, referred to myself as Mexican. Everything was fine with that until just a few weeks ago, I logged onto "Yahoo! Answers" and came upon some people who thought differently.

Supposedly, to refer myself as a Mexican-American was out-of-the-question! It was a clear indication that I, a natural born citizen and proud American, was not a "true American." Just because I call myself Mexican or Mexican-American. Now, does that mean I hate America? Does that mean I have some special alliance or loyalty with Mexico? One that is higher than that of America's? Well, let's look into that.

I love America. I love Mexico. Both are great countries in my eyes. Although I consider myself Mexican-American, I still very much enjoy the United States and do not plan leaving anytime soon. But why do I consider myself Mexican-American? Why not just American? Well, I do consider myself American. I also consider myself Mexican-American and Mexican. I am all of them. Because I am an American citizen., but also because I have Mexican heritage, culture, blood, family, and roots. A part of me is Mexican and I try to represent that side when I call myself Mexican-American.

Well then why must the "Mexican" side come before the "American" side? Well, honestly, I have no clue. I guess it's like how Africa-Americans put the "African" part first as well. Like how the color "Yellow-Green" is called "Yellow-Green" with the "Yellow" before the "Green" when the color is clearly more green than yellow. I am clearly more American than Mexican, but I still have a huge part of me devoted to my Mexican culture and roots.

It's within my complete legal rights to label myself whatever I want. I could care less is everyone in America started calling themselves "Barney the Dinosaur!" It's their right. So why do so many people in America complain when Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and Americans (because we are all of them) call ourselves just that?

Almost the whole United States refers to African-Americans as African-Americans and i see no problem there. They are even referred to as "black". God forbid that means they have a special loyalty with the color black! Well, I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.
