How many living Republicans are dead against it, but are waiting until they are dead to come out? What's the chances of politicians from either party going with their gut instead of strictly adhering to the party line?

I see, over and over again, (here at YA) Republicans making the de facto statement that Hussein was behind 9/11, or that he was somehow key to Bin Laden's efforts to attack the WTC.

Do you believe this, and if so, why?

I am a republican who is proud that our president and his cohorts have ruined America's reputation world-wide and got us into two failed wars.
I don't care that America's self-esteem is hurt tremendously since we couldn't win our wars or accomplish the very farfetched goals our government had.
I just don't give a crap that Mr. Bush sent so far 3,000 American lives into a lost cause.
I don't care that he, and our vice-president, continue to make profits from Halliburton.
I don't mind that the Iraqi people complain about us and fear for their lives on a daily basis.
I think it is all right that our government puts so much effort into failed offensive strategies and nothing into defensive strategies.
After all, I am a republican.
So, how do you feel?

Just when you thought the Iranian leadership could stoop no further: A top advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in an interview with Iranian website Baztab that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's parents were both Jewish and that Hitler himself was one of the founders of the State of Israel.

In the interview, translated by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) Mohammad-Ali Ramin, a chief aide to Ahmadinejad, told Baztab that Hitler's paternal grandmother was a Jewish prostitute and his father even kept his Jewish name until finally changing it to Hitler when he was 40.
Ramin also claimed that the reason Hitler developed such an aversion to Judaism was because his Jewish mother was a promiscuous woman. Hitler therefore, says Ramin tried to escape his religion.

I have been thinking about joining the National Guard. I need a way to start making my own money so I can pay for college myself instead of having my mom pay for everything and taking control of my life. I see joing the National Guard as a way out. I will be making my own money, have money for college, and I think it will help me become more independent and a stronger person. My friends tell me that it is a bad idea because I am black, a girl and gay. I do have a friend that is in the National Guard and she says that none of that matters because she is both black and a girl and says that I just don't say anything about being gay. I still am a little hesitant about joining. Do I have good reasons and will it help be become a stronger and more dependent person. If I do join, I will do it during the summer while school is out. When the summer is over, I think I might transfer to a school out of the city. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or anything I need to be prepared for

I went to the St. Louis Arch the other day, and had a small pocket knife I carry with me almost everywhere. I saw a sign that said no weapons could enter the Arch, so I hid the knife in a small cabinet by the front door where they have literature about the Arch. When I left, I went to look and found no knife. It was no big deal, so I'm leaving and I'm telling my little brother it's not there when I'm approached by one of the security guys there. He overheard me and I was honest and told him what happened, so he gives me a federal citation for 'Abandonment of Property'. They never saw or found the knife, all they know is I said I did it. The security guy was being a jerk and treating me like a criminal that was leaving grenades around or something, and was obviously on a power trip and needed excitement. Now I can pay $125 or go to court, I plan to go to court but can anybody give me any advice on this? How to fight it? Anybody had this problem before? Thanks

Why did we allow him to be executed so soon. There are so many things left unanswered. I think its because the US didnt want him to leak while on trial? What is up with that? First we help him during the Kennedy years and them we kill him. Which im totally for but that just goes to show how the administration works hu?

I saw a headline that asked if the President has too much power and it briefly mentioned vetoes--I realized I don't know enough about them. Anyone want to fill me in?

Even though the Liberal Democrats and Eurotrash would have rolled over for Saddam and continued to allow his regime to commit genocide against another 500,000 people, including women and children, don't you feel blessed and proud that President Bush and the United States once again stopped another evil despot and saw that he was put to death? You must admit, it's great to be an American with such a great President.

Today New York Times has published in a single image all pixels of died soldiers since 2003 in Iraq.
In Italy this new has reached our important newspapers.
It was difficult today for us to see all faces of our lost American friends.
How have you reacted in front of this article in the website?
I think we can't forget. We mustn't forget.
God bless all our American friends.
