Why don't illegals want to become Americans? I know this doesn't apply to all but I'm mainly referring to the ones who marched in American streets with foreign flags and swearing their loyalty to another country.

Cartoon characters say fathers are "losers." Most media including print have males as incompetent, dangerous & criminals.

What is the political reason for this? Why don't women, who consider themselves ethically superior, object to this? Why doesn't our government censure this?

Many people say the Koran talks about peace, but I found this passage and I would like to know what people think about it and the Islamic movement today:

Surah 47:4
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.


Can you tell me why this stuff isn't being shown so people know why muslims are the way they are as a whole.

In 2001 the law changed that required Congress to aporve wars to allow the President to strike any nation he feels like in the name of war on terror - the law has also changed to allow Bush (for example) to a nuclear stike on a country that is not a nuclear power after a 20 min advisory meeting.

To me this all adds up to the US striking Iran in the name of a war on terror.

The problem is Iran borders Russia and the world that doesn't really believe the 9/11 story likely won't believe the No choice they will try to sell for Iran's being nuked.

So my question is will the US do a pre-emtive stike using bunker busting mini nukes it says is "safe for civilian populations" and if so what reaction will this bring from Russia and China or Venezuala or North Korea all of whom either have or are developing nukes.

THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT
CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES!


NOT ONLY THAT, IT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT!!

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically
hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St.
Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems
there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts,
you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll
do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you
can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the
senator.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle
of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse. Standing in
front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked
with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to
greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had
while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly
game of golf; and then dine on lobster,caviar and champagne. Also
present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good
time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that
before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty
farewell and waves while the elevator rises...

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St.
Peter is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls
moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a
good time. Before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St.
Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now
choose your eternity."

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would
never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I
think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren
land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed
in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more
trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I
don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and clubhouse. We ate lobster and caviar,
drank champagne, danced and had a great time. Now there's just a
wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What
happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were
campaigning...... Today you voted."

if I buy a $3 car magnet from the Indian at the convenience store? Is that all it takes to say I support the troops? What concrete measures do the people who sport those stickers take to actively support them, or do they just give lip service? I think that they're mostly just supporting the Indian guy at the store and the Chinese factory that churns out those stickers.
