Ezekiel 38:14
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

a. Schoolbuses and other cars that have stop signs attatched to them that they can stick out to stop traffic whenever they want.

b. Tax on liquor and cigarettes. This practice just makes the goverment profit from poor peoples sufferings.

c. Getting in the car with Paris Hilton--wearing underwear or not. Its just not safe in anyway.

d. Fast food. And anyone who can confuse the food products they secrete from these wigwams that relate to the traditional foods they represent in almost no way at all.

e. Section I: Those fake baseballs that you stick on your rearview window that make it look like they hit your window and broke it. Not only do they look fake, they're so common if anyone really does have a baseball stuck in their window they might not notice. Section II: Any kind of R.I.P. memorial that is a decal stuck on the rear view of an SUV.

This is not so much a question as a commentary. South Dakota Democratic US Senator Tim Johnson is in critical condition after undergoing emergency Brain Surgery. I AM A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN!! afer this past Nov. elections the Democrats took control of the Senate 51 to 49, If Sen. Johnson dies or is unable to resume his duties, the Republican Governor of SD would appoint a replacement US Senator giving us a 50/50 Senate with VP Cheney, as President of the Senate, breaking the tie thereby handing control of the Senate back to the Republicans. THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WANT TO SEE CONTROL HANDED BACK TO US REPUBLICANS!! PLEASE PRAY FOR SEN. JOHNSON TO RECOVER AND PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY.The people have spoken, we got our *** handed to us, I would hope that the Republican Governor of SD, would if god forbid, the need arise to replace Sen. Johnson follow the will of the people of SD and appoint a Democrat. I really want to see an official rise above Party Loyalty just once.. AND SHOW SOME BALLS!

Is there a limit on the number of people that are allowed to be on a picket line when taking part in a legally balloted industrial action?? What is the number if there is one? And why is there a limit? Is there an official source on-line to use for quoting purposes?

I have signed the lease on a property having been assured repeatedly that it had no damp or leaks, also that the fire checks had been done, none of which was true. I know there is a law which covers this but don't know which, can anyone help?

Apparently people have ALREADY forgotten 9/11 ever happened. It went from "The US has declared war on Terrorism in the Middle East" to "George Bush personally forced thousands of Americans to go fight so he could get free oil".

People point to the high civilian death rate in Iraq. First of all, if the terrorists used military uniforms, instead of cowardly dressing like civilians, this would not be a problem. Second, did you forget the high civilian death rate on September 11th??

We NEVER declared war on Osama bin Laden, we declared war on ALL terrorism, which includes Iraq.

One last question. Do you think the terrorists just DECIDED to quit attacking the US in the last 5 years? Don't you think the war had a LITTLE to do with that?

Quit being stupid, and support the war. If we supported the troops like we did in WWII, the war would be over by now!

Some ideas:
Abortion
Stem cell research

Do you vote simply based on these or similar subjects, or do feel you take an objective look and the politician and the issues?

If you are religious, does your interpretation of Revelations influence how you deal with environmental and economic issues? In your opinion, of course.

Would you vote for a politician if he disagreed with your views on abortion? Stem cell research?

Lots of questions, I know - just trying to generate a little discussion.

"In a democracy, the commander in chief works for you. You hire him when you elect him. You watch him do the job. If he makes good decisions and serves your interests, you rehire him. If he doesn't, you fire him by voting for his opponent in the next election.
Not every country works this way. In some countries, the commander in chief builds a propaganda apparatus that equates him with the military and the nation. If you object that he's making bad decisions and disserving the national interest, you're accused of weakening the nation, undermining its security, sabotaging the commander in chief, and serving a foreign power—the very charges the party loyal level against Bush's critics.
Are you prepared to become one of those countries?"

Bush does not speak for the solidiers. There are cemeteries being created to accommodate fallen soldiers all over the country. He is only interested in his self interest not the American people.
