CBS got a hold of the $145 million, 44,000 -name no-fly list compiled by the TSA.

The Transportation Security Administration's secret no-fly list used by intelligence and law-enforcement agencies includes some very unlikely terror suspects -14 of the 19 dead 9/11 hijackers, and every single person named "Robert Johnson."

Tens of thousands of innocent people have been confused with terrorists. Many passengers have been detained by authorities. Peace activists and other Bush administration critics have also been grounded.

Once a name finds its way into the database, there's no way to get it out. The net result is a no-fly list that may be useless. Many of the worst terrorists are kept off for security reasons, while innocent people are unable to clear their names.

Has the TSA's no-fly list has become a bureaucratic, terrorist and civil liberties threat in itself? Please read the CBS story link above.

if jack straw had such a issue with ut why didnt he say this all those years ago...why not 5 years ago...he chose it deliberatly to getn the bandwagon....
and as far as respecting culturees go...islam is a relgion not a culture...western culture where u tramps around naked on a firday night drugged and drunk waiting for rape to come at your door....well thats a great culture...[whoops am i generalising here oohhhhhhhh]
and muslims didnt come from warring countries not all of them...many were employed all those years ago when the white ppl wouldnt do some jobs that others would....my grandad came here in 60`s with my dad....and the government realsied that all thes epeople are sending moeny out of the country to their own..so clver litle white people decided to get them to bring their fmailies over here so no money would escape the country...and now of course the next generation is also here...so blame your governments for the problem not the people

either other people think that he has made an appropriate sentence or not. Thinking to himself " I'm going to be liberal in some way (even if just be reducing sentences by a few years) is unfair on the victims of crime who come before him- every judge should be following the same guidelines in the same way. They don't out of arrogance about their supposedly privileged view of the world.

I just learned that here in Ohio we are trying to pass a no-smoking law, yet not one lousy polotician or lobbyist group has said anything about the fact that it isn't against the law for sexual offenders to obtain jobs where they have access to children. I may not be a political science major but don't you think that it would benefit the state and it's citizens more if you forgot about whether I smoke a cigarette after a good meal and worry about the damn pedofile who may be working as your childs crossing guard? God sometimes the ignorance of it all makes me sick. Vote for me for state senate this year and I will use common sense and common decency to determine my political stance on matters and not wether some idiot went out of his way to gather signatures just cause they don't like smoking and worry about REAL issues. Why , as Americans, do we allow our lives to be dictated by the few. Isn't it Majority rules? Yet most issues are never brought before the majority. Ironic eh?

National healths are burdensome on taxpayers, but there are alternatives.

Insurance needs to be available to all at an affordable cost. The best way to accomplish this would be for the government to create a taxpayer group plan and leverage the cost savings available to corporate group plans

Insurance companies are allowed to pay less for medical procedures than persons without insurance. This practice should be outlawed. If doctors/hospitals are willing to take a reduced rate from an insurance company there is no understandable reason why anyone without insurance should pay more. This is a double pricing strategy and unacceptable.

Flexible Spending Accounts are a great idea, but contributions are only good for one calendar year. Amend this to allow contributions to grow and rollover yearly. Thus allowing people to build a medical nest egg in preparation for catastrophic illnesses and old age medical costs.

Haven't figured out what to about drug costs.

What say you?

Cause dont forget in 2004 he allowed the former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson into Britain after he issued instructions to immigration officers not to stop the fighter when he arrives at Heathrow after being conviced of raping a beauty queen in 1992. He served three years of a six-year prison sentence and has been jailed again for assaulting two motorists aswell.

Under immigration rules, anyone convicted of an offence that would carry a 12-month prison term if committed in Britain is "normally" refused entry. Then of cause we have the lastest in which he asks muslim women not to wear veils which cover their face. Is this guy deaf does he need to lipread?

I was wanting to invite them to a pro law enforcement rally we are having soon concerning illegal immigration and would really like to see them try that crap out here. Once again Mexicans show their evil side when they have the power through numbers. THEY are the aggressors.

I am turning my 360 page into a forum for conservative political thought, and inviting all rational people with patriotic leanings to visit my site and cast their opinion on the issues.

Now that I have blatantly plugged my website, I have a legitimate question:

What are some of the more pressing issues of our time which we should all unite on? Is there a way we can stop bickering and all rush Congress to get some decent legislation passed? Progress is only a few hundred thousand telephone calls and emails away, after all.

Conservatives, what are your core issues that we must work on?

Libs, dems, (if you're listening) what are yours?

Blatant link to my blog:

Still in preliminary stages. All opinions welcome, even you whacko libs can take a few shots at me!
