Fascism
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.

What in the world does this have to do with religion?
-----------------------------------------------
Certainly this this a phrase made up by the right wing scheme machine...

But even if there is such a thing as "Islamo-fascism"; there would almost certainly have to be group of a "christio-fascists" lurking about in the bushes somewhere.

What would these "christio-facists" look like?
Hmmm...

"Islamic Fascism???"
Are there actually people out there who accept this kind of rhetoric at face value???

I went through a divorce in May 2006. I still haven't received my divorce papers and all actions were supposed to be completed by October 1st. I still haven't received my divorce papers, so I can't take any legal actions because I don't have any proof. Should I contact the judge that tried the case to see if he can get the lawyers involved to finish this? Would it help?

Everyone lately checks into some kind of rehab to avoid the full penelty of the law for there actions and the public out-cry for justice .Seems everyone in the public eye is guilty at one time or another of bad behavior .Entertainment and news people like Bill O'rielly ,Rush Limbaugh and Mel gibson come to mind along with the sex tapes of paris hilton Rob lowe and bay watch babe and hubby going at it .Today we hear the sex offenders are now checking into rehab in an effort to reduce there culpability for the actions they have taken .
I am called an alcoholic by everyone who knows me and to date i have never filmed a sex act or engaged in sex with minors or purchased perscription drugs illegally and i am shocked to find people saying that drinking and drugs made them do it .This makes me look bad .I do not wish to be associated with criminals and perverts who are blaming everthing on drinking .
Its like blaming terrorism on all muslims .

I'm not talking about welfare... I hate those people. I am just talking about minimum wage for people who are willing to work hard to do what it takes to be a responsible citizen. I make WAY more than minimum wage however it still upsets me. A person could never support a family on minimum wage today even if both parents worked full time... they would almost be better off on welfare and food stamps which makes me even more upset. I truly don't understand why this is... what is the benefit to politicians since increasing minimum wage would actually make people pay more taxes (because they make more). Wouldn't it be in their best interests also?

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico pleaded with President Bush on Monday to veto a Senate proposal to build a new fence to keep illegal immigrants out, saying it could backfire by making the border more dangerous.

The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly backed a bill on Friday to construct about 700 miles of fence, a project Republicans hope will impress voters calling for tougher immigration control ahead of November 7 congressional elections.

"The Mexican government strongly opposes the building of walls in the border area between Mexico and the United States," President Vicente Fox's spokesman Ruben Aguilar told reporters on Monday.

"This decision hurts bilateral relations, goes against the spirit of cooperation needed to guarantee security on the common, creates a climate of tension in border communities," he said.



Aguilar said it would send a diplomatic note to Washington later on Monday urging Bush to veto the bill, which requires the president's signature to become law

I am curious if North Carolina state laws can be legally enforce on the Cherokee Reservation. I have asked lawyers in North Carolina but have yet to get a clear answer. A state trooper tried to infer I violated a law on US highway as if that was a federal offense. However the law cited is a state law. I will fight the ticket on November 17th on this and other grounds.

More details are available at this link:

When our forefathers drafted the Constitution, the fundamental concept was to ensure equality for all and to structure a government "Of the people, by the people, and for the people." Today, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class will soon vanish. We have a two-party political system where only the wealthy can afford to run for office. Our liberties are shrinking; the government meddles with ever part of our lives; and our voices are not being heard. What steps can we take to breathe life back into the Constitution and restore equality and freedom for all?

I am asking registered Bush supporters if they are the true conservative type? Small goverment? Fiscal restraint? Would you consider a republican that doesn't support the current president a conservative or a republican?

I was not demeaning, or attacking anyones character. I was giving my honest opinion which was very reflective of how the investors don't want to cure cancer because it would make the stock on the overpriced medical treatments go down. Yet somehow we can justify over 300 billion on occupying a foreign nation.

They deleted my answer... apparently nobody is interested in any truth anymore.

This is how Rice denies that she was warned of an imminent attack on the US by Al Qaeda 2 months before 9-11. Note the last sentence.

“What I can be quite certain of is that I would remember if I was told, as this account apparently says, that there was about to be an attack in the United States,” she said. “The idea that I would have somehow ignored that, I find incomprehensible — especially given that in July, we’re getting a steady stream of quite alarmist reports of potential attacks.”
