I was threatened again last week by FBI for continuing to urge the end of life for Bush and associates. I told them, well Rosie threatens Bush, and they said, well maybe she is facing charges like you are, I told them to bite me and get off my property.They left. I wonder though, because they said, we can arrest you and make you suffer in prison before you win in court so I wonder if she was threatened like Beast in Hemet who is going to Hemet court on 5/21/2007 8:30 am on simular issues, I just wonder cause I urge everyone to fight for our old america and get rid of Bush the Idiot and his cant go back pro globalization pro aliens in america policies.

Mitt Romney has been chomping at the bit to get someone to say anything negative about his Mormonism so he can paint himself as an oppressed/persecuted Christian.

Al Sharpton, as usual, stuck his loafer in his mouth and obliged. Al uses his religion as a prop almost as often as his race.

I don't get the sense that any of these guys are really religious. It's just a marketing tool to them. What do you think?

I was recently told that being born in the US, I was born into privledge--at least as far as the riches of my country go. (No silver spoon in MY mouth, I've been rather "poor" all my life monetarily....). Ans I was told to "get over it!" So, I got to thinking: instead of demanding the things we NEED to survive as a country, and "forcing" our way of governing ourselves on others, what if we just treated everyone in the world, all countries, regardless of their political bent, the way we would like to be treated? As friends, as fellow-travellers in life--Would it be so bad to "share the wealth"??

The year is 1907.....but the speaker knew what he was talking about.

READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE



Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Every American citizen needs to read this!

What is Ohio law regarding a 15 1/2 year old who is pregnant and wants to marry the 20 year old father?
Also - can the parents of the teenager be charged? That hasn't been brought up, I'm just paranoid.

No lectures requested - I know this is a screwed up situation that may end in divorce, but they have known each other 3 years and might actually make it work. And no, I didn't approve of their relationship but now they will be a family of some kind since there will be a baby tying them together forever.

The survey found only 35% approve of how Congress is handling its job, down 5 percentage points in a month. That gives lawmakers the same bleak approval rating as Bush, who has been mired at about that level since last fall, including his dip to a record low for the AP-Ipsos poll of 32% last January.

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.
Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own
borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors.
I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house). According to the protesters:
a. You are: Required to let me stay in your house;
b. Required to add me to your family's insurance plan;
c. You are Required to Educate my kids;
d. You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family

Why did those anti-U.S. French elect a pro-U.S. president?
E-mail this page Reader Comments (below)
By M.D. Harmon Portland Press Herald Friday, May 11, 2007

I guess this is the end of freedom fries, not to mention any remaining sentiment to boycott French wines or certain fragant cheeses.
Instead, we should raise a glass of vintage Chardonnay or even Champagne to toast the victory Sunday of a new French president, who without any hesitation said during his entire campaign that it was time to repair relations with "our good friends, the Americans."
Nicholas Sarkozy, 52, is the son of Hungarian immigrants and a law-and-order economic conservative. He soundly beat the Socialist Party nominee, 53-year-old SÈgolËne Royal.
It's tempting to cast the race in American terms, seeing Sarkozy as a combination of George W. Bush, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani, with a dash of Fred Thompson thrown in.
Indeed, Sarkozy outraged his leftist critics by visiting the United States during the campaign and being photographed shaking Bush's hand.
In that paradigm, Royal becomes (who else?) Hillary ("don't call me Rodham") Clinton -- especially since the Frenchwoman, finding that her "stay-the-collapsing-welfare-state-course" message was failing to get traction, played the gender card at the end, asking women to vote for her as France's first female leader.
That would leave aside Joan of Arc, but that's not a comparison worth taking too far.
It may or may not be a lesson for Hillary boosters that the appeal to les femmes didn't work.
Sarkozy got 53 percent of the total vote and 52 percent of the women's vote, showing that feminist solidarity comes up a bit short when unemployment's soaring and tout le mond wonders why so many of your young people think that if Paris isn't burning, it's not for lack of effort on their part.
As a Wall Street Journal analysis noted Wednesday, voters expect a woman candidate to meet a higher standard for toughness and leadership. The story quoted Democratic pollster Peter Hart as saying, "One of the challenges is that 'commander in chief' is so much of the job description."
There are those who have tried to downplay this vote, and in some media outlets, coverage of Paris Hilton's scrapes with a drunken-driving charge took precedence over Paris, France's decision to go with the old free-market vintage as opposed to sipping another soupÁon of socialism.
Closing one's eyes won't make reality go away, however.
This reality indicates, among many other things, that all those people who have been telling us for years that the French really hate Americans may have been confusing France's highly anti-American media with the actual sentiments of the people.
Of course, Sarkozy wasn't elected entirely, or even primarily, on his pro-American views. He took a strong stand against rioters in both immigrant (read: Muslim) neighborhoods, where the youth unemployment rate tops 40 percent, and in Paris, where spoiled university students spilled into the streets to protest a law that would have allowed their future employers to dismiss them if they couldn't do their jobs.
That sounds odd to U.S. ears, but such productivity-strangling laws are common in the socialist-influenced societies of Europe. They are places where, when the government promises to take care of you from the cradle to the grave, it changes your diapers and drops the lid on your coffin.
Sarkozy promised to restore the abandoned dismissal law and make it easier to start small businesses. He vowed to crack down on immigrant rioters, who still protested his election, ironically unable (yet, at least) to see that his policies offer them the best hope they've ever had of escaping France's economic doldrums.
Now, conservative leaders expressing a wish for greater friendships with America have been elected not only in France, but in Germany (Angel Merkel, 2005), Canada (Stephen Harper, 2006) and Mexico (Felipe CalderÛn, 2006).
With Tony Blair's departure as British prime minister next month, this nation loses a great friend, but where his successor, Gordon Brown, will take the country remains to be seen.
That overall trend, however, not only casts the complaints of our own limpid leftists about our support abroad in a somewhat different light, it has very good implications for the struggle against jihadist terrorists in the near future.
The hope of further progress in that fight is perhaps the clearest benefit of Sarkozy's election --demonstrating the clarity of the French in seeing what danger confronts them.
As Walid Phares, author of "The War of Ideas: Jihadism against Democracy," wrote this week, Sarkozy's victory is a response to a plea his predecessors ignored: "Please resist the rise of terror that is the urban jihad."
"This is not just another European election," Phares wrote, "it is a benchmark in the Western struggle to win the war on terror."
We can hope the odds of victory took a big leap on Sunday.

Everytime some one retires, gets fired or gets promoted, this person is not replaced. This person's duties are just divided up among the remaining employees. The remaining employees do not get compensated for doing that extra work of the person that is gone. The remaining employees did not agree to do the extra work of someone that leaves, when they were hired. This is not the way to motivate employees. Why do companies think this is fair?

Many " liberals " seem to want government sponsored " gay marriage " , while many social conservatives seem to want the government to enforce restricting marriage to between a man and a woman . Why is the government involved in the regulation of marriage ? The first marriage licenses were instituted right after the war between the states to restrict " intermarriage " . The original purpose was to keep black men from marrying white women . Now governments profit from marriage by charging a fee for a marriage license . Why don't we eliminate government issued marriage licenses all together instead of restricting them to a man and a woman or issuing them to same-sex couples ? Let people form unions however they like without interference from the government . That way social conservatives can have their marriage between a man and a woman without a government endorsing gay marriage , while homosexuals can have their unions and polygamists can have their marriage between a man and a woman and a woman .

Question - Why don't we get the government out of the marriage business ?
