It seems the "squeaky" wheel gets the grease or stated another way...the anti-war crowd gets all the press. War is horrible but there are many things much worse.

The government decides what right offs are taken and they are less and less as the years go by. The government gets our money before we do, blantanly denying us the opportunity to recoup or write our expenses off at their descresion. They set the tax laws and we all must accept them otherwise we break the law and can loose much much more. Isnt this more like dictatorship embezzlement? They can spend spend spend and waste money like crazy but we are all accountable to their wants and needs and our money truley isnt ours any more. Really who can even begin to figure out all the loop holds in tax forms without spending more money inorder to have them done for us? Whats this all about?

We've run out of excuses to justify the war, so now we're down to just a single, vague talking point. We can't leave until we finish the job. But what is this job?

Has anyone seen or HEARD the big noisy wind turbines that have been going up in Ohio and other Midwest states? They are so huge and loud. Big corporations slip in quickly & pay unsuspecting farmers to use their land. The corps. get their big tax break but never have to use, repair, or take down the awful things.
Gore and his fear tactics make me sick!

Both parties and the mainstream media are being suspiciously silent on this. Almost eight years since outright voting frauds and scandals were brought out in the open, and we've all gone back to sleep? Again?!?

I have made up my mind, I want to join the marines. I have looked at every field and have thought about this for well over a year. everyone I know does not want me to enlist but I cant sit back and let others do the fighting because they are afraid.
heres the problem, I promised my folks I would wait until I was 21 but too much is going on to keep that promise. First off I want to me a marine, second I have no job, got fired for well cant say they might know me if I say why, and lastly I want to be infantry. my gf and parents freak out every time I even mention it my brother who is currently serving wants me to join but only as an officer. I would rather be a mustang officer, learn to take orders than dish them out only after gaining experience in the field. I understand they care about me but I support the war, I think it is time to put up or shut up. any advice

What are they hiding? That is the only reason they would be so afraid to talk under oath.
They know they are busted and they are squirming like the snakes they are.

How come John Edwards wife only has cancer when John Edwards is trying to get publicity?

He did this in 2004 and now that he is way behind Clinton and Obama ... here comes the wife cancer card again.

Did you know?
I didn ' t know!





How could we?






Did you know that 47 countries ' have reestablished their embassies in Iraq ?






Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?







Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated,






364 schools are under rehabilitation,






263 new schools are now under construction






and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq ?






Did you know that Iraq ' s higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities,






46 Institutes or colleges
and 4 research centers,






all currently operating?






Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United State s in January 2005






for the re-established Fulbright program?






Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is
operational?






They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.






Did you know that Iraq ' s Air Force consists of three operational squadrons,






which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft






(under
Iraqi operational control)






which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?






Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?






Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000






fully trained and equipped police officers?






Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq





that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?






Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq ?






They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations,






22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.

Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate recently?






OF COURSE WE DIDN ' T KNOW!






WHY DIDN ' T WE KNOW?






OUR MEDIA WON ' T TELL
US!






Instead of reflecting our love for our country,






we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib






and people throwing snowballs at the presidential
motorcades.






Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes:






It is intended to undermine the world ' s perception of the United States






thus minimizing consequent support,






and it is intended to discourage American citizens.
