Alright, so 911 was one big hoax. I'll play along. But why? What would anyone aside from Muslim radicals have to gain from planning a massive attack on US soil?

Can you really be a Liberal Democrat and a "man" at the same time? I don't see how it is possible.

I have an ex-employee who quit voluntarily. I disagreed very respectfully with her beliefs in a particular matter. Since then, I was told by 2-3 of my clients that she had made contact with them, and made completely false and deragatory statements about me. These statements are not small things. They are huge, false accusations that are made to destroy my reputation. What can I do?

You know I don't get it. WWI is definatley similar to WWII but the deaths were totally different. I just saw some guy answer a question saying that Iraq is nothing like Vietname because of the loss of soldiers. The difference was around 55,000 people. But that is besides the point. Over 10 million people died in WWII. That is a huge difference than WWI were only 100,000 or so troops died, i am not too sure about that number. The american deaths in WWI are totally different than WWII so does that mean the wars are not similar? of course not I just want to hear some of your guys feedback. One more thing, WWI and WWII have the same name except one added number that implies that they have to be similar in some way so how can the death difference make the two wars totally different?

It appears that President Bush Sr. was squashing the imitation of President Fords imitator from SNL Chevy Chase. I'm questioning Chase's validity........Suddenly it no longer is funny...

In an op-ed published in Tuesday’s (January 7, 2007) New York Times, John M. Shalikashvili, a retired U.S. army general, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1993 to 1997, wrote among other things, that the lifting of America’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban on openly gay service members in the U.S. military is “eventual and inevitable”. The issue will give rise to passionate feelings on both sides.

Is America ready for a military policy of nondiscrimination based on sexual orientation?

Directly egging on the enemy to attack our troops? Does this compare to criticizing the War?

Bush's remark alone has maybe cost 1,000 troop lives by not just giving comfort to the enemy, but by "emboldening" and "daring" them to attack our troops.

What do you think?

I'm living abroad now and just heard that the post office in the US will be closed because of Ford's death -- I suppose federal offices will be closed too? What's going on? Does anyone think this is just weird? Isn't the US supposed to be a republic of equals? (Just joking, I know that's all propaganda.)

But damn, it's peculiar.

Mineta: "During the time that the airplane was coming into the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President...the plane is 50 miles out...the plane is 30 miles out....and when it got down to the plane is 10 miles out, the young man also said to the vice president "do the orders still stand?" And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said "Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything to the contrary!??"

For every tax dollar spent to feed, clothe, imprison, and hospitalize YOUR people. Think if Americans started flooding to Mexico they would hold the people accountable? Nope. They would come to our government and demand they fix their problem. We should do the same. Hold the Mexican government responsible for their own people. Start sending the bills we incur to take care of their people straight to the Mexican government and demand payment. They can pay for that wall too if you ask me, as well as any costs incurred to make the Mexicans that truly want a life here citizens. Correct?

My girlfriend, and I, have been debating the issue. My thought, is that, it would pose a securtiy threat to haul his body around the country. Not to mention, I really don't think he would want to go for the ride. My position is that we are just holding the memorial service in his honor and that it wouldn't be honorable to him to travel cross country to apease our need to show our gratitude.

Your all a bunch of worthless coward. Our soldiers think Bush and Rumsfeld are idiots because they have done so many stupid things in regards to the war in Iraq. Nobody like Republicans. We saw that in November and we will see it again next election. You can't stop Americans from speaking up and telling the truth. You can't stop America from being free even if it is you we have to fight.
