This is basically no strings attached aid when you consider they sank one of our Naval ships in the 60s and have slaughtered inocent Palestinain kids with impunity. Is it any wonder Muslims hate us?

At one time, slavery, interracial marriage and unequal rights were considered the norm. Now, the hot button issues people are fighting over are abortion and gay marriage. What will tomorrow bring? Will it even crazier stuff that we will accpet and get use to when today we see it and think is wrong. Is like saying all drugs are going to be legal or kids can smoke at any age.

The war in Iraq is a "pure failure" that has left Iraqis in a worse state than when they lived under Saddam Hussein, former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said in comments published Wednesday.

"Iraq is a pure failure," Blix was quoted as saying in the Danish newspaper Politiken.

"If the Americans pull out, there is a risk that they will leave a country in civil war. At the same time it doesn't seem that the United States can help to stabilize the situation by staying there."

Blix, in comments that were seen as unusually critical for the diplomat, said the U.S. is facing a situation where neither staying to fight nor pulling its troops out of Iraq are good decisions.

Blix said Iraq would have been better off if the war had not happened.

"Saddam would still have been sitting in office. OK, that is negative and it would not have been joyful for the Iraqi people. But what we have gotten is undoubtedly worse," he was quoted as saying

I've fought tooth and nail about my left-wing views. I'm sick of it! I want to stand tall for my liberatarian outlook! I want to stick bumper stickers on my car that market my politics with intelligence humor, but aren't vulgar or defensive, I want to read books that aren't whiney, I want to pay my taxes with a sense of both community and gain, and I want to feel free to drive by the panhandler.

Is it too much to ask that we require more from the wealthy to improve the improverished? We are one country, and we're looking really sad lately. I'm sick of false patriotism, false faith, false humanity.

Plant a freaking tree. If you have the means, plant 10. Donate when you're able, and if you aren't able, remember to do it when you are. Vote against tax hikes when you don't know where your taxes are going! Smile at kids on the street and strike up conversations with seniors. Listen to music you aren't used to. Feel free to wear polka dots with stripes.

Listen for change and vote.

Why did we go to war?
A democrat's response: for money and oil.
Why did some random event happen?
A democrat's response: because someone made money off of it.


I'm getting sick of hearing these democrats talk about everything happening because of money. This is why Republicans get things done in office....it's because we look at all aspects of situations: not just the monetary gain aspect.

Seems really stupid to have to vote on machines that cannot be traced or audited and that leave no paper trail. I hear that they can be easily hacked into to change votes. Well now you know how I feel. What do you think about this? Are you confident that your vote will count for something?

I am running for town council. I am 18 years old. I join a team of 6 people. I was invited to join a team. Few of the members have some negative feedback they have on the community. I have been living for 1 year in this town and do not know a lot of people or the community very well. So I decided to get on their team because I wanted to get my name known. They have big signs… ECT.

One of my bad feedbacks was regarding too many signs are posted and illustrates trash in the city. For example: one bulletin board in the city is filled with our paper signs.

Know my name is on those posters and I receive bad comments from some of the community. I use to get positive feedback because I am so young and wanted to help the community.

Do you have any suggestion of signs that I can post that can emphasis myself and helping the community? How can I get people vote for me as an individual with good standards? How can I improve my voting ranking?

Prosperity Partnership of America? Has anyone else heard of this deal to make America and Mexico and Canada one like Europe, and also the new monetary system called the Amero? I found out of these plans being made, with out the publics awareness. They also plan to build a new highway system four football fields wide from Mexico to Canada. This must be why they arent doing anything about illigal aliens.
