We gave the Iraqis a democracy. Why not let them use it. Why not let them vote on whether or not the U.S. should stay in Iraq. If they say NO, we leave. If they say YES, we stay. Any bets on the outcome of such a vote??

Could a grenade blow up 2000 square foot 2 story house? I've seen it happen in movies but don't know if its true.

I have really gotten upset that there are such groups as NAMBLA that get away with doing what they do. The ACLU gave protected their "right to free speech" to "talk" about having sex with under age boys. Do you think the ACLU would defend me if i started a Group about killing Liberals? [of course i don't believe this would be right] but you have to be consistent in your beliefs right? Whats the difference between saying, you want to potentially hurt and distroy a young boys life and threaten a persons life [which IS against the law] you cant go around stating you are going to beat someone up, thats a threat.

what is the difference.

Last month was the bloodiest month in iraq even after the troop surge and so far this month an average of 2 soldiers die a day. Time to wrap it up. we can't police a civil war.

The New York Times did a piece on her, the title was Hillary is a congenital liar.

Do you think she is still a congenital liar? If not what makes you believe she has changed? Please read the article first because you will not know what I am talking about to be able to answer the question.

Things that make you think a little:


There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.
In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the
Month of January. That' s just one American city,
About as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq



When some claim that President Bush shouldn't
Have started this war, state the following:



A. FDR led
us into World War II.

B. Germany never attacked us; Japan did.
>From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ..
An average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea .
North Korea never attacked us.
>From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost ...
An average of 18,334 per year.

D. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attackd us.

E. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
>From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ..
An average of 5,800 per year.

F. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
Times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on
Multiple occasions.
G. In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush
Has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled
Al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who
Slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.



The Democrats are complaining
About how long the war is taking
It took less time to take Iraq
than it took Janet Reno
To take the Branch Davidian compound.
That was a 51-day operation.



We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons
In Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find
The Rose Law Firm billing records.



It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the
Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard
Than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his
Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick



It took less time to take Iraq than it took
To count the votes in Florida !!!!

Our Commander-In- Chief is doing a HARD JOB!
The Military morale is high!

The biased
media hopes we are too ignorant
To realize the facts



But Wait there's more!



JOHN GLENN (ON THE SENATE FLOOR)
Mon, 26 Jan 2004 11:13



Some people still don't understand why military personnel
Do what they do for a living. This exchange between
Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum
Is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive
Impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one
man's explanation of why men and women in the armed
Services do what they do for a living


IS a typical, though sad, example of what
Some who have never served think of the military.



Senator Metzenbaum (seaking to Senator Glenn):
"How can you run for Senate
When you've never held a real
job?"



Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.
I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions.
My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different
Occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my
Checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was
Not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the
Daily cash receipts to the bank."


"I ask you to go with me ... As I went the other day...
To a veteran's hospital and look those men ...
With their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM
they didn't hold a job!



You go with me to the Space Program at NASA
And go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans
Of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...
And you look those kids in the eye and tell them
That their DADS didn't hold a job.


You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in
Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends
Buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch
Those waving flags



You stand there, and you think about this
nation,
And you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?

What about you?"


For those who don't remember
During WW.II, Howard Metzenbaum
was an attorney Representing the Communist Party in the USA

Now he's a Senator!



If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you are reading it in English
thank a Veteran.

I answered a conservative political question with a liberal answer. Ok we can deal with that. Now the question is gone. What happened? Did someone report a violation? Not right folks, we can argue this stuff. Who did this? This is wrong!

I went to a home depot store today in NW USA. Looking up at the aisle directory all the signs were in english AND in spanish. In California there are billboards in spanish. In schools there are classes in spanish and NOW there is a controversy about Mexican immigration? Also, lately there is deep resentment towards Mexicans in the USA? Do many of you people realize that in Chandler, Arizona south of Mesa which is metropolitan area of Phoenix on any given day you can count hundreds of illegal Mexicans standing around waiting for someone to drive by and hire them to do labor jobs. What is strange is that the border patrol will NOT ever drive their buses around and round those people up so doesn't that give you the message that the U.S. government does not want to take Mexicans back to Mexico. If they finish building the border wall do you think they will check ids ?

I currently moved out of my apartment of seven years. I was no longer living there but was still the lease holder for 2 more weeks and still had possession of the keys. Someone broke into the apartment, broke the glass out of the sliding glass door and took the other stationary half with them. My landlord states that since I am the current lease hold I am responsible to pay for the damage. The door was previously broken when I moved in and had never been repaired. I live in Colorado so I was curious if any one new what my rights as a renter are and what if any costs, if any, I am liable for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It wasn't too long ago that most Americans had common sense but nowdays if you buy an axe at a hardware store you see a warning label that you may get hurt. When you buy a power tool it seems the first ten pages are about safety in the use of the tool. Twenty years ago owning a firearm was all about common sense. On the east coast of the USA people may tend to be concerned saying what do you need a gun for and on the west coast it was no big deal with open areas to shoot and it didn't seem all that visible. Presently it seems punk kids wanted to be treated as adults or just plain stupid get guns and think they can justify careless use of guns. I think there have always been people who were never meant to own guns because some people don't seem to understand how to own guns without getting in trouble.

I think I'd prefer a Thompson/Gingrich ticket, but I don't think it would be near the landslide it could be with Thompson running with someone else. Gingrich is one of the smartest men this country has seen--so I think he should be Secretary of State and Fred will have to choose someone else. If not Mitt.....who and why?

Of Bush's "lies". I've just read several more answers from Libs stating "Bush is a proven liar". What lies? WMD? That was due to the intel BOTH sides and many other countries agreed at the time was fact. If you have proof (not opinion) give it to me.

The Middle East would become even more unstable and Israel and Europe would be subject to more attacks. I would rather fight the extremist on their turf even with the cost to protect my family, friends, and fellow countrymen. I have served two tours in Iraq and I'm damn proud of it. Regardless what the liberals say, I think that we are winning the war against terror across the world. Thousands of terrorist die to every 10 American Servicemen. Semper Fi
