I saw someone give that as an answer a minute ago and it got me to thinking.. what would they have done? Once the attacks started all they could have done is scramble jets to every plane in the air and if they didn't respond shoot them down... would that have been the right call? So I kept thinking about where the failure was.. and decided that to me the failure was not that day... but every day since then that we don't spend actually improving our protection here at home.. and don't be fooled ... for all the spin there is little if any more safety here... if you doubt that just try and walk across one of our borders one day and see how easy it is..

what do you think?

I'm really curious-----how many of you out there take the time to click on the links liberals add to their posts? I have clicked on some of them and found either dead links that give an access denied or error message----or if it is a real link it will take you to some weirdo wacko that says all kinds of strange untruths? I seldom will click on these anymore. The reason I ask this is I have noticed a disturbing trend----liberal say wheres the proof? of if you don't provide links your post is meaningless.------has anyone else noticed this trend? do you click on all their nerdy crack-pot links?

Hilary Clinton had an affair with Vince Foster. Once Bill Clinton found out, Vince was murdered (soon after Clinton became President).

Is it true or not?

Are dinosaurs just a liberal attempt to discredit the Bible, or were they just too gnarly to put on the ark?

Sure, firearms can be misused. But don't criminals show more respect for citizens if they know they are ready to defend themselves? Or even suspect that they might be?

We have cities where gun possession is banned, and they are not exactly America's crime-free zones. Isn't an armed civilian population a less attractive target for criminals?

Oak Park, Illinois, went gun-free about 25 years ago, and crime has risen steadily ever since. Hmmm.

Why do rich people live in gated communities? If their homes are protected by armed guards, why shouldn't the poor family across town have their own gun to protect their home?

In my neighborhood, a lot of homes have a sign outside saying "Protected by Security Service - Armed Response."

Funny thing but I don't see any signs saying "We believe in gun control so we are not armed." Hmmm.

Is "gun control" just a politically correct way of saying "disarming the poorer people"?

I heard that Wisconsin is not part of some interstate highway agreement. So, all tickets I get in Illinois (or any other state) will not affect my Wisconsin driver's license. I plan to move to Illinois, but keep my Wisconsin driver's license and register my car to my parent's address in WI. Does this make sense?

Also, if something doesn't show up on my Wisconsin driving record, does that mean the insurance company doesn't see it either?

The reason I ask is because I just can't see how the war was good for our country.

Pros: (1) Removed Sadam and his crazy family from Earth
Cons: (1) Divides the country
(2) Costs hundreds of billions of dollars when the reason many problems on our soil aren't fixed is because of the cost
(3) Costs American lives
(4) Costs innocent Iraqi lives
(5) Causes average Iraqi citizens to become insurgents
(6) Turned into not a war with Iraq but a war against Muslims
(7) It is un-winnable
(8) It was started on false pretences
(9) Cost of gas in America has gone up tremendously
(10) We haven't decreased our usage of foreign oil and are setting ourselves up for them to refuse sale of it to the US
(11) Weakens our military
(12) We still haven't found Bin Laden, the reason we went to war against Terrorism
(13) The terrorists from 9/11 weren't from Iraq
(14) Fewer people are willing to be a part of the military because of a trigger-happy leader in Bush.

Please tell me some advantages of the war

Hundreds of people in shady rooms, making evil designs to strike fear into Americans... then they came up with the perverted concept of Global Warming!

I think it's very funny how people think that 9/11 wasn't an inside job, but think global warming is a conspiracy theory. Is this saying something about the responsible treatment of information today?

I hate to have the Pope's name involved with these tyrants, But being as an estimated 6,000,000 jews were put to death from Hitlers decisions and 3,000,000 muslims were put to death by Bush's decisions. Would you consider Bush more as an evil dictator as Hitler or would you consider him more like the Peaceful Pope John Paul? Hitler was in power for 12 years and Bush has only been in power for 7 years. So if you do the math. 3,000,000 is only an estimate but it is surely alot of individual people and families he has hurt.. If you think otherwise, please tell me the difference since you know so much. Please tell me all that is on your mind. If this is too tough of a question for you than you can go back to arranging your stock portfolios.

Hey, cons, why hasn't Bush had the military go get her and bring her back to face charges? It's within his authority. He's the President. He is OBLIGATED because of his Oath of Office to punish traitors ("defend and uphold the Constitution"). Why hasn't he done it? And if your answer is "He's appeasing the libs," shouldn't he be impeached for letting TREASON go just to "appease the libs"?????

Holy cow, guys, this is MAJOR. The President of the United States is failing to punish a known TRAITOR!

What are you going to do about it?

From the 10th century thru the 14th century the world went thru a global warming period. Ice sheets that had been around for ages disappeared. Greenland became a lush green island. The climate changed and weather patterns shifted on a global scale.
What did medieval mankind do the end this 400 year period of warmer weather?

Bob Dylan said it best:

Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king."

Original examples: Hillary Clinton & Nancy Pelosi. Also, the Dixie Chicks recieved death threats while a male musician like Bruce Springstien was left alone.

New examples: A female celebrity Rosie O'Donnell attacked and insulted left and right while a male celebrity Sean Penn pretty much left alone.

Rush Limbaugh uses the term "feminazi" as a catch-all phrase when talking about any empowered woman. He uses it to discribe pretty much any woman who doesn't agree with him.

Why is there a double-standard among the right-wing? Why can a male liberal speak his mind and be pretty much left alone but a female liberal is fair game for any number of personal attacks, threats and libel/slander??
