Im tired of the liberal quagmire into which today's news has descended. I feel like a virgin thats been kidnapped by a religious cult. I want to protect my kids from the liberal media but I dont know how when there seems to be nothing but liberal media shoving itself through my door; nothing but bad news all the time from every direction about killing and war and higher taxes and lawyers that got fired, etc. Where can we find good news? Is there a good-natured Conservative publication or newsletter out there somewhere that offers a more fair perspective on reality?

I sued someone in small claims and the court did not award me. The defendant then turned and filed a counterclaim and the court awarded them $1,500 (which I was supposed to pay). So is that considered a "judgment" against me?

With regards to 'global climate change' (aka Global Warming) is there any real scientific debate or has it become a force operating beyond and without the realm of logic? Have we too quickly cast ourselves as villains while ignoring greater forces then ourselves?
What do you believe? Do you believe that this debate is fair and balanced or lopsided and reaching absurd proportions? Should we ask the political leadership to stop meddling in the realms of science which they know little if anything about? What say you?

What do you think about giving $59 Million to Palestine when that money could be used right here? Why is it that congress is quick to spend money overseas to increase “diplomatic relations” by greasing the pockets of upper government echelons and their families? We have no way of verifying how they spend our money. Do you have time to do it, cause I don’t. I would bet a dime to a dollar that the biggest misappropriation of our tax dollars comes from foreign aid. It is one thing to send food, medicine, and clothing. It is a completely different thing send money for them to purchase things themselves. Why do they need our money? They should work a deal with some of these sub-prime lenders instead in international business. If we are going to contribute it needs to be like a franchise type of thing, where we build a business or industry in an area that helps them help themselves without draining our tax dollars.Every day I meet a new homeless vet, it makes me sick.

We used to smoke inside with permission from our landloard who also smokes inside even though our apartment was listed as a non-smoking apartment. We used an exhaust fan and only smoked in one room with the door closed. Our upstairs neighbor complained her apartment was filled with smoke from us. We have been smoking outside for 3+ weeks and she has again complained that she wakes up every morning to smoke and a headache. I guess it's possible that the smoke is going through her window from outside even though I think its still too cold for her window to be open. She leaves notes on my car telling us that smoking causes cancer and yadda yadda. We have respected her wishes to not smoke indoors and now she wants us to smoke outside and AWAY from the house. We have a private back porch and that is where we smoke. I cannot help which way the wind blows. Outside is outside and we pay rent too. Does she have the right to tell/ask us not smoke outside on our own porch?

After all it’s been their representatives preventing companies from drilling in the US; it’s their representatives that stop development of refineries. We pay high prices because of environmental tree huggers. Don’t blame the oil companies; they tried to make us independent.

One of my grandfathers was talking to me about this subject. He says that another reason to vote for the Republicans is because the Democrats will bring Affirmative Action back. Since I had never heard of this political doctrine before (my grandparents are always surprising me with things that I don't know about lol lol) he said that it is a form of racism directed against White people making it difficult for them to get a job or attending a college or university. My grandpa said that when he returned from the Vietnam War and married my Grandma he had to struggle for many years at low paying jobs because of racism against Whites. He also said that being a Vietnam Veteran did not help in his quest for a better life for him and my grandma and their two sons (One son grew up to marry and have a pretty daughter. I bet you can guess who she might be.) So, do you agree that the Democrats will bring back Affirmative Action?

Avoid bashing a candidate that you do not approve of. What do you find to be very important issues that will decide who you vote for in the upcoming election?

The world is not yet so warm as it was in the year 1000 when the Vikings settled Greenland. Where were all the Viking SUV's back then that Global Warming was so bad? Anyone with an IQ over 55 can look at history and see that this is a natural warming period.

How many of you are too stupid to know that not all Democrats are liberal and not all Republicans are conservative? By definition, stupid people will contradict my point, but there's most certainly a surfeit of such people on Yahoo! Answers.

You can call this a rant - that's fine with me. I'm just wondering if anyone else is as sick as I am of the idiots who delight in dividing everyone based on the most falsely simplistic of criteria.

I'm faced with a difficult decision right now. But I am seeking information that perhaps some of you guys might be willing to share?

I plan on joining the Air Force sooner or later, but I don't know if I should complete Community College and get that Associate's degree first. My question to you all would be -- Would I be having an advantage if I waited a while longer or would it be wiser to just join in at full force? Thank you, and I appreciate any help in advance!

They both share a hatred of liberals as well as the seperation of religion and the state.

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's hard-line president urged students Tuesday to push for a purge of liberal and secular university teachers, another sign of his determination to strengthen Islamic fundamentalism in the country.

With his call echoing the rhetoric of the nation's 1979 Islamic revolution, Ahmadinejad appears determined to remake Iran by reviving the fundamentalist goals pursued under the republic's late founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Ahmadinejad surprised his conservative backers in April by deciding that women could attend soccer games, but Khamenei didn't agree and the supreme leader's view prevailed.

Shortly after the Iranian revolution, Tehran fired hundreds of liberal and leftist university teachers and expelled many students.
