recently we bought an SUV and its SO easy to go over the speed limit. (which, well everyone does.) but i was thinking about it. and i asked my mom if people in trucks or SUVs are more likely to get a ticket for speeding than people in cars. or the other way around. i could look it up but i didnt really know what to search for. and, well im wierd, but i thought it would be interesting to know.

Ron Paul is more about what is best for America, not what is best for Israel.

Bush clearly is doing what's best for Israel as we are protecting them from "terrorists." He is clearly not acting in America's interest at this point.

Vote for Ron Paul as he's the best chance we've got at saving the country as the past two administrations have pulled the plug on the US.

Like Israel in Lebanon, do the defenders of Iraq see America as a soft touch militarily...?.

Thanks Messrs Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld..... Thank you for nothing.

Why must I sit here night after night reading “Do the Republicans feel badly that the Democratic Party is that of the well educated?” And “Why do the Right Wingers hate the poor?”

I am a Traditionalist Conservative Republican. I was born and raised poor. I was one of the very few in my family to graduate high school. I was the only one to go to ever go to college. For that honor I paid student loans for ten years. Why? Because I was too proud to take grants and handouts as I really didn’t “need them”. I wanted to be proud of my accomplishments! During college I worked two jobs. When I got out of college I worked two and many times three jobs… That’s right, sixteen hour days five days a week, eight hour days two days a week.

I have busted my butt all of my life. I did not spend my college years smoking dope, bad mouthing my country and being a civil disobedient. And for that I have reaped the fruits of my labor.

We have like what, 98% of the population, who know 9/11 was not an inside job. I'm not saying there wasn't negligence or warning signs. I am just talking about the 2%, who think they are in the majority, that ACTUALLY believe Bush and the administration was actually behind it. I am a conservative and I wouldn't care if this 2% were hardcore right wingers. They are still ...... I can't think of anything nice to say.
This clip is great. Watch the guy who isn't Glenn about the 00:40 mark. Here are some quotes

"How can you debate with someone when you are going from facts and they are going from their OWN facts?"

"You can't have a debate where you are taking facts and they are taking storybook time". That line is priceless, not to mention hilarious.

"And when you can't have a debate, you end up having fights and the civility and discourse is gone". I love it.

It seems as if society wants to potray police to be bad people or something. Granted every cop isn't perfect, but should that reflect on every cop. Is that just a small minded individuals way of thinking?

Word is, Santa Cruz Caifornia is asking the Homeless to leave town and paying for their Bus ticket to their choice of their next homeless home. If this is true, does anyone know how many of these people are Hispanic and if it's still going on.

The socialists that are destroying this great party are so far to the left that the DNC doesn't have to cater to them. These extremists aren't going to vote for ANY Republican--all their votes are going to the Democrats regardless.

So the mainstream of the DNC don't need to cater to these nuts. Even if some of them stayed home, the DNC would pick up more votes from moderates and Independents by showing some backbone.

I just want feedbacks. This is for both male and females. I want to know which branch of the military (navy, air force, army, marines...) is the most challenging and why. And what kind of challenges you had to go through. And just to throw it in there, which one is the least challenging. I'm not asking "which is harder and which is easier" I just want to know in your opinions which one is tougher and had more challenge and which didn't.

My mother was born in the Philippines and moved to England and became a British citizen with a british passport 20 years ago. My English father, me and my mother are planning to all move to the Philippines next year and buy a house however we hear that you can only buy a house if you are a Philippine resident/nationality which my mother no longer is. What would be the best way to get about this and be able for us to buy a house? We all want to keep our nationality as British so we can enter England as often as we want. Could we become a joint English/Filipino citizen?

The fact is Islamist Website Instructs Mujahideen in Using Popular U.S. Web Forums to Foster Anti-War Sentiment among Americans . Read the whole thing and then please place your comments , here is the link incase you want to get it from the source - http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=sd&ID=SP150807

In the past few months, Islamists engaged in "media jihad" have increased their efforts to expose as broad a Western audience as possible to their jihad films, which purport to document the growing success of the mujahideen in Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of this endeavor, they have posted jihad films on popular free video-sharing websites such as YouTube, LiveLeak, and Google Video, hoping that such films will tip public opinion in the West against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan - thus pressuring Western governments to withdraw their troops from these countries.

As part of the campaign to foster anti-war sentiment among Westerners, and more specifically among Americans, a member of the Al-Mohajroon Islamist website with the username Al-Wathiq Billah instructed mujahideen in how to infiltrate popular American forums and to use them to distribute jihad films and spread disinformation about the war.

The following are excerpts: [1]

"Raiding American Forums is Among the Most Important Means of Obtaining Victory in the Fierce Media War… and of Influencing the Views of the Weak-Minded American"

"There is no doubt, my brothers, that raiding American forums is among the most important means of obtaining victory in the fierce media war... and of influencing the views of the weak-minded American who pays his taxes so they will go to the infidel American army. This American is an idiot and does not [even] know where Iraq is... [It is therefore] mandatory for every electronic mujahid [to engage in this raiding]."

"It is better that you raid non-political forums such as music forums and trivia forums... which American people... favor... Define your target[ed forum]... and get to know it well... Post your contribution and do not get into... futile arguments..."


Indicate You Are an American

"Obviously, you have to register yourself using a purely American name... Choose an icon that indicates that you are an American, and place it next to your nickname [in the forum]."

"In my experience, the areas most visited in American forums... [are titled] 'Random Thoughts' and 'What's going on in your mind?'... [The former] takes priority in the American forums, and is highly popular. You should post your contribution there... This should include films of the mujahideen in Iraq, mujahideen publications in English, and images and films of the Americans' crimes, [such as] killing unarmed civilians in Iraq... etc."


"Invent Stories About American Soldiers You Have [Allegedly] Personally Known"

"Obviously, you should post your contribution... as an American... You should correspond with visitors to this forum, [bringing to their attention] the frustrating situation of their troops in Iraq... You should invent stories about American soldiers you have [allegedly] personally known (as classmates... or members in a club who played baseball and tennis with you) who were drafted to Iraq and then committed suicide while in service by hanging or shooting themselves..."

"Also, write using a sad tone, and tell them that you feel sorry for your [female] neighbor or co-worker who became addicted to alcohol or drugs... because her poor fiancé, a former soldier in Iraq, was paralyzed or [because] his legs were amputated... [Use any story] which will break their spirits, oh brave fighter for the sake of God..."


How to Make Americans Feel Frustrated With Their Government

"You should enter into debate or respond only if it is extremely necessary... Your concern should [only] be introducing topics which... will cause [them to feel] frustration and anger towards their government..., which will... render them hostile to Bush... and his Republican Party and make them feel they must vote ton bring the troops back from Iraq as soon as possible."

"Do not... discuss issues pertaining to Arabs or Muslims at all, whether negatively or positively... because this could be a trap for you... In addition, do not ask people to circulate the material [you have posted] in other forums... as these types of requests will expose you..."

Any comments ?
