Have I missed something? or is the surge not working.....

Only today the Prince Harry of England was banned from going to Iraq with his Group, because Iraq had taken a 'turn for the worse'.

Not my words but those of the No 1 General of Britain. At least they are honest!!!!!!

Maybe it's because I'm a vet, and understand the reality of fighting terror on our soil vs theirs. Does the so called majority forget that the terrroist struck first? And more than once. We took about 15 shots to the jaw before we fought back, and now we want to bail out. We are fighting the terrorist who want to kill us. They wanted to, tried to, and did kill us LONG before we fought back Why can't we understand that? There have been anti war rallies in every conflict. Don't forget 97% of congress voted to go to war, based on the information that was provided, by both Democrat and Republican secret service members. Pointing fingers is easy and Hind sight is 20/20. Every political person, Dem and Rep alike who now want to cry about it, are cowards. At least the ones who still stand for what they believe in spite of the media bias, have balls enough to do so. I don't want a leader who crumbles to the desire of the weak in tough times. Don't cry about war then complain of no protection!

One complaint leveled against the death penalty is that it is racially biased. Of the 3,122 inmates on death row, 1,493 (or 48%) are white; 1,272 (or 41%) are black; 236 (or 8%) are Latino; 50 (or 2%) are Native American; and 22 (or 1%) are Asian. Of the 328 prisoners executed since 1976, 182 (or 56%) were white; 127 (or 39%) were black; 17 (or 5%) were Latino; one (or 1%) was Native American; and one (or 1%) was Asian(NAACP, 949).

I am graduating next year and I am very interested in the court reporting profession. So I would be very thankful to know if court reporters are a dying breed. Also if anyone knows a good school to go to for court reporting in Michigan, please let me know.

The only ones that didn't immigrate to this continent at some point were the Native Americans. If we reject illegal immigrants then we should be consistent and reject all the white, black, hispanic, asian, and any other people that are not of natives back to their own country. Now that's fair.

I'm ready to go back to the U.K. Where are you going?

Back in the days of Leo Frank they were fervid supporters of the deicide doctrine - Jews as Christ-killers - whereas today they are fervid zionists who regard Jews not Christians as God's Chosen People. How did this come about? Obviously,Israeli money has a lot to do with Christians United for Israel (CUFI),the fundie/Jewish org staging events all over the country lately. But doesn't the whole rise of post-war fundamentalism correspond to increases in U.S. funding for Israel? Fundies were down for the count after the 1920's; the big revival seems to coincide with periodic increases in aid to Israel. Example: Billy Graham. Unknown outside the south. Goes to Israel. Suddenly,lots of $. Prime-time tv specials,mass media p.r. campaign,gets famous fast,lots of money to spend. Since fundies are the foundation of U.S. support for Israel,how much of fundamentalism itself is stimulated by the Israeli government using our own aid $? If this isn't what happened then what did,what other cause?

I think it is that most white people are not racist ,,becuase then thier cuase is completly empty

what else do they have,, they need to think that most white people are racist,,

If you think they hate racist,,try again,, that's what fuels whole philosophy,,,that anglos are ignorant and hateful almost automatically

thye never found anything to date that the minutmen done that was racist or criminal against a certain ethnic group,,they just spread lies about them

they never can prove that immigration lawas are racist agianst any ethnic group

what gives,,, I finnally ealize that they are hunting for racist s,,becuase that is what they need to make themselves feel better

McCarthy made accusations of Communist infiltration into the State Department, the administration of President Truman, Voice of America, and the United States Army. He also used charges of communism, communist sympathies, or disloyalty to attack a number of politicians and other individuals inside and outside of government.

Is this at all similar to the retardicans accusations of terrorist support by Liberals?
