From the never-ending "Do as I say, not as I do" file on the hypocritical Left comes the shocking revelation that Michael Moore was less than honest in making "Roger and Me".

It seems the Rotund One also has a problem with guerilla ambush-style film making...if it's used on him. Typical.

Before any of you gets on your soapbox about conseratives attacking Moore, please read the article: the filmmakers in question are fellow liberals.

Is anyone surprised that Moore is as sleazy as we have been saying for years?

I was at the nail salon and as they do for all customers, because my nails were wet they moved my belongs for me when I switched tables. It was when it came time to leave that I noticed my keys were missing. We searched everywhere with no luck. I was forced to take a taxi, call a locksmith to get into my home and have the keys to my home and car changed.

By this I mean people that clearly aren't educated or informed enough to defend their political/social/economic views, even though they may share your conclusions.

For example, I'm a liberal. But it just annoys me when I speak with people that are ALSO pro-choice, in favor of welfare and gun control, affirmative action, etc..., and they clearly haven't taken the time and effort to research or investigate those topics. They just repeat whatever the radio told them on the way to work that morning.

Liberal, conservative, independent, whatever; I have a lot more respect if you are informed and can back up your points of view, not because you happen to agree with me.

Do you sometimes just want to sit them in a corner, hand them a yo-yo and a comic book and tell them that they're just not helping by being ignorant, no matter what their position is?

Sorry, that was a rant. Won't happen again. Promise. I mean it this time.

Do hillary and obama think that they must speak in Ubonics in order for Black audiences to understand them? Isn't this a form of disrespect?

Many congressmen say these 8 U.S. attorneys had a spotless record after reviewing the facts.
Why in the world would 8 of them be fired, especially all at once as they were?
So were they all fired because they were not tough enough on Democrats, as many congressmen suggest?
If not, then why did Kyle Sampson, chief of staff to Gonzalez, decide to resign over this controversy?
With this scandal, and the issue of Gonzalez indicting Ramos and Capion, should Gonzalez be forced to step down?

My ex boyfriends new girlfriend calls my house, my phone, sends me messages on myspace, etc. I told him to make her stop and she did for a while. Well i moved back into town and got behind them in the car yesterday in traffic. Well, now she started calling MY SISTER! Is this enough to be considered harrassment? Or just an annoying child?

Need ADVICE!

I am a conservative and believe these key issues, who do you think deserves my vote?

*Anti-Gun Control
*Anti-Illegal Immegration
*Pro War on Terrorism (must not be a p|_|ssy when it comes to defending out country)
*I am pro-choice on abortion
* I believe in stem cell research both embryotic and otherwise
*No socialist concepts such as income redistribution
*Some reform to healthcare but not a "make the rich peopple pay more so the poor can have it for free" idea like the liberals currently have.

My main issues are immegration, the war, gun control in that order. I am willing to bend on the other issues. Who do you think meets this most closely with their announced ideas/voting record?

I'm talking about all forms of Communism, Socialism, Marxism, etc. It seems that the Internet has become a haven for 14-15 year old wanna be Communists that couldn't find their backside to save their life. Useful idiots come to mind.

What kind out nut job would support the dictatorship of the proletariat and support crackdowns with lots and lots of tanks killing millions.

Scientists who questioned mankind's impact on climate change have received death threats and claim to have been shunned by the scientific community.

They say the debate on global warming has been "hijacked" by a powerful alliance of politicians, scientists and environmentalists who have stifled all questioning about the true environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions.

Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five deaths threats by email since raising concerns about the degree to which man was affecting climate change.

I served in the army for 3 years, finished my active duty requirements and am now in the Inactive Ready Reserves. I talked w/ a navy recruiter and she said I would have to submit my DD214 and wait 6 months to see if they'll accept me. She sounded like she didn't know to much and I was wondering if their's any truth to this.

BTW my MOS was a 54B, chemical operations specialist.

Is it because they can't take anyone seriously politically who has won an Oscar? (Ronald Reagan) Is it because they don't like people who are associated with Hollywood to be involved in anything political? (Arnold Schwarzenegger) Why is it?

I am asking this question for my friend who got married in Guam with a German. When they brought the marriage certificate issued by Guam to Germany, the German government doesn't honor the certificate unless it has an "apostille" stamped. I think every other states except Guam will have the "apostille" stamped on the marriage certificate. In their case, where can they bring their certificate to get stamped?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well, if you have, then you know how effective it can be when the whole crowd is cheering on your team . It excites your players and inhibits the other team . So much so, that fans are called the sixth man sometimes . Almost like having extra players !!
On the other hand, the other team is sent scrambling to adjust to the sudden onslaught from your team .

Simply translate that into our situation at home and in Iraq !!
This is exactly what 'emboldening' our enemy means . Protesting in the streets, constant hatred for our President, subversive tactics by some Congressmen and Senators. . . and whaddya have. . . . A CHEERLEADER for the OTHER TEAM . I promise you this, if anybody who is a anti-Bush person or anti-troops person-which includes anti-Iraq war, or an anti-success person, makes the change over to OUR TEAM.. . .. . I'll consider changing my Y/A name to SALLY !!!

So, can you just stop yourself for one minute, and THINK ?
THINK About Joining and Cheering for YOUR TEAM ?
