Sometimes the best way to show people their own prejudices, is to simply use their own words in comparison . Case in point :
Liberals cry over repression in Somalia, Ethiopia, Darfur, etc . We all know that . But why do they wish for the USA to be racists when it comes to Iraqis ? We're already there, we PROMISED to help 'no matter what' , and yet, the Liberals want us to : Break our promises, abandon those who need us, and ignore the unbelievable plight of the Iraqi people !! Why? Because it's difficult ? Because there's a price to pay ?
Or because they simply don't keep promises, they think Freedom is Free, and they're racist towards anyone when it just doesn't suit them at the moment ?

I'm sure there's a whole lotta 'twist and spin' coming, but.. . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . . . How many times do we see them blame America's problems on 'white Americans', the 'man', and Conservative Christians ?

The Mafia built Las Vegas, a hugely popular vacation destination.
The Mafia helped repeal Prohibition.
The Mafia helped try to assassinate Fidel Castro.

How come it's always the few bad things people remember?!

George Bush nominated the First Black Man and the First Black woman both as Secretary of State but thats not a "Famous First"?

Nor is Clarrence Thomas mentioned. What about Great Thinker Thomas Sowell?

Here is one of my personal heros -
Ida B. Wells (1862 - 1931)

Ida B. Wells was a journalist, advocate for civil rights and an anti-lynching crusader. She was born in Springfield, Mississippi and helped to found the National Association of Colored Women in 1896 and the ***** Fellowship League. She worked with the white Republicans who started the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People on February 12, 1909.

She was forced off of a train for refusing to sit in the Jim Crow car designated for blacks and was awarded $500 by a circuit court. That decision was overruled by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1887, a rejection that ultimately strengthened her resolve to devote her life to upholding justice. She reported in two black newspapers, the New York Age

I am interested to see how many people will vote for Labour after they long spell.
How much damage has their relationship with the USA caused (if any).
And a final thought, why do our prisoners get treated better than our Military personnel, Nurses and teachers???

What do you think should be done about the gun laws in our country? Complete banning of everything from bb guns and air rifles to weapons that fire proper ammunition or re legalisation of handguns and every other weapon but with better control and licencing.

The way it is just now i believe just allows criminals access to guns whilst law abiding shooters are robbed of there sport and are made to sound like maniacs. I know there are a lot of crazy people out there who shouldnt be allowed a gun and this is where the better licencing and control should come in. Whats your opinion?

Before people refer to the USA look at other countries like Switzerland which has a very high gun owning population. Its down to culture and training. If people are trained to respect guns and there correct use I think it would lower gun crime. Its basic human mentality that the more your told you cant have somethingthe more you want it.

i dont get it. armed forces such as the army,navy etc..each person only makes so much in earnings,i heard it was like 2 or 3,000 a month that they make,also they may get paid college tuition,but the men and women put there lives on the line..anyway my point is,why is it that major basketball and baseball players make so much just for throwing a ball around,millions each year,while people that fight for our country make peanuts compared to that

when all ANY of them want to do is see the USA defeated at all costs, when they want to allow our allies to be destroyed from within their own countries, when they want to allow homegrown terrorism to survive within our own borders, when they are perfectly willing to allow enemy combatants cross our borders with impunity?

They make this plus benefits. It doesn’t matter if they show up for work or not they get paid. Are you tired of paying your hard earned tax money on this? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all vote in our pay and benefits as we seem fit?

Seriously, talking out of one side of the mouth promoting global warming and "equality".

Out of the other side of her mouth, talking about how she should get special priveledges by getting a better plane because she is a woman and not to mention that the plane would use 300% more fuel. One trip on her plane is more fuel than the average american uses in 2 years.
