I'm in the Army and my MOS is 31B (Military Police). Does any one know when the promotion points for E5 are going to drop lower than 796? Also, is anyone stationed in Germany? MPs Lead the Way-Assist, Protect, Defend.

Not libs like me, I can tell you that much. He's a long winded grandstanding dinosaur, so why do conservatives try to use him as an example of contemporary Liberal ideology?

Does anyone doubt that this womwn hates America? calling Chavez a hero, going to Cuba to meet with a Communist dictator, makes one think she is related to John Kerry doesn't it?

After I left the UPC in the early morning hours, I
walked in the cold until I reached McDowell and
Central. It was a little after 8:15 or so in the
morning. I hailed a cab from Sunrise Cab company and
he crossed over a couple of lanes to reach me near the
bus stop.

The cab driver had long grey hair and a straggly
beard. Everything was normal until he started talking
about minotaurs and big foot. He even showed me a book
with a pentagram (sp?) star on it, an upside down star
symbolic of the devil. It had pictures of minotaur
skulls under x-ray?!!!

Anyway, he started asking me really bizarre questions
about if I believed in them and big foot, including
how this explains why people develop 6 fingers and
other abnormalities.

The cab ride was surreal; the most surreal
conversation I've ever had with anyone. The total cost
of the cab ride was $20 even. He dropped me off on the
gate-side entrance to Villagio on Hardy.

Okay, so the government can in their infinite wisdom decide that people of the same sex cannot marry, that a man can't have more than one wife, and that a young woman like Anna Nicole Smith can't marry an old billionaire. Wait, they can't stop Anna. And even if they don't want to recognize it as a marriage, the government can't stop two men (or women) from living together as though they were married. As a matter of fact, if a man wanted to be polygamous, as long as he didn't try to marry all of them, he could live with as many women as he could get to fall under his spell.

The point here is that all the government can do is regulate the "legal" marriage, but they can't stop people from living the way they want.

So what can advocates for the "traditional" family do to protect it?

Seems we had problems for some time before and now-so what actions have been taken? Are all countries facing this? What should be? Any personal opinions or comments on any of the questions welcomed.

to come to or reside in the US?

"Thirty people were arrested on suspicion of being illegal immigrants during the Dec. 5 raid of Plasterglas Inc.

Now, Donna Lake, 45, is facing up to 10 years in prison after federal agents allegedly recorded a suspicious conversation between her and an illegal immigrant who worked at the company.

During the taped conversation, the worker-turned-government informant allegedly asks Lake to change his work identity for the second time.

Lake allegedly asked whether the worker was afraid of being deported, then told the worker she would ignore their conversation.


The government is accusing Lake of inducing an illegal immigrant to enter or reside in the country in reckless disregard of the law. She could also be fined $250,000.

A hearing is scheduled on Friday."

Mexicans can't build small businesses because the government taxes them so much. The Dark skinned Indians are discriminated against and denied jobs. Their is no economic investment in the rural population. Most of all, The leadership is full of corruption caused by drugs. How can the U.S. force Mexico to change their policies?

I am sick of hearing abot how great the troops are...they are a buncha republican pawns. The Commander in Cheif and his girly boys in DC ran from the Vietnam War.

You can BET they are not STUPID enough to send their kids into the IRAQI shooting gallery..yet act like...they respect our soldiers.

When our RAT POLITICIANS and their brat kids show up for WAR, then our troops should show up as well...but not until.

Amyone that wants to risk his life for Punk Bush is an idiot.

Do not give me that load of crap about defending Freedom..it is BULL
