I was actually being serious and not trying to hate. I honestly can't think of anyone who benefits from giving good speeches better than our president. After him I think politicians who want to get certain laws or bills passed would probably also have to be able to give speeches well.

So if you can tell me why college students need it and the president doesn't then I'll be happy. It just doesn't make sense to me but maybe there's something I'm missing. So if you can give me an example of when I'll need to be able to speak in public well but the president doesn't have to then I'll rest my case. Until then I can't think of anybody who needs to speak publically well more than the president especially the one of the united states.

With all the technology we have today, that soldier's body could be ID'd. Why would they have guards standing guard 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? This process began on Armistice Day, November 11, 1921 and the President at that time and up to today & in the future, is considered the next of kin to the unknown soldier. But, why the guards? Could somehing else be buried with the soldier, or is the American government afraid someone will steal what remains are left and use the technology to discover who is really buried there. Its a nice gesture for a soldier, don't you think?

Have you looked at his face lately? He is completely terrified and I've figured out why...

Decades ago, Bill Clinton made a bargain with the devil. The devil told Bill Clinton that he would get the chance to be president, for a single favor. All Bill Clinton had to do, was to marry the devil. I suppose now he is thinking to himself: My God... what have I unleashed upon the world?

I suppose even he never imagined how high the price would be one day...

The job description seems to have changed so many times. WMD to getting Saddam to nation building to fighting Al-Queda to confronting Iran. What is the job exactly and how will we know when it's done?

Can someone tell me why the countries listed below picked a side to support?

"Iraq was financially backed by Egypt, the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact states, the United States (beginning in 1983), France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, and the People's Republic of China (which also sold weapons to Iran). All of these countries provided intelligence, agents for chemical weapons as well as other forms of military assistance to Saddam Hussein. Iran's principal allies during the war were Syria, Libya, and North Korea." (Wikipedia)

Women are the majority in this country...and they could make a difference in the upcoming election if they voted for Hillary Clinton. We want the first female President in history, women can make it happen.

I tend to think playing in sports is more dangerous than driving without a seatbelt. So how come the law hasn't made it illegal to play sports yet?

In a recent column, Colon said that more soldiers died during Clinton's admin than have died in Iraq.
http://www.nysun.com/article/48926
Limbaugh corroborated this:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_022007/content/01125104.guest.html
using this document from the military:
http://siadapp.dmdc.osd.mil/personnel/CASUALTY/Death_Rates.pdf

True, roughly 10,000 troops died during the Clinton years.
However, it is left to the reader to conclude that 97% of these deaths were NOT by combat, but accidents, homicides, etc. Sadly, this is the norm, although things are improving over time.

Basically, the tenet of Ms C and Mr L was that, because we lose so many soldiers through non-com, a few thousand extra deaths aren't worth the attention of the press.

So, my question is -
How many soldiers should die in Iraq before the press has the permission of Ms C and Mr L to publish these facts?

The world we live in today is to a large degree, an American accomplishment.

- America rebuilt Japan after WW2 - now they are the worlds second largest economy and one of Americas strongest allies.

-America rebuilt all of Europe after WW2 - after supplying the Europeans with the means to fight a war in the first place - and now most European countries are decidedly pro-American - as well as very strong allies.

-America protected the entire continent of Europe from the USSR for 60 years after WW2.

-Americas military might enabled European countries to focus on their socialist health care and education systems - as America and the American tax payer paid out the *** for the defense of Europe and Asia - only to be spit on by these same people 50 years later.

Has the world ever lived as peacefully as it has under Pax Americana? At any point in history???


-And yes - even today America does the dirty work all over the world - only to be hated for it tomorrow.

Why?

America ended 30 years ago only fools don't know it. I don't see any Dutch, Swedish, Swiss, etc. walking around. I only see uncultured people and criminals from Central America. Are those the people dying to come here? Central AMerica has the HIGHEST crime rates ON EARTH. I don't consider that America's PERSONAL debt being the highest on the planet ( 18 000 PER PERSON) as a good reason for being called the richest nation. It doesn't help that America has more criminals in jail than any other nation on earth. The problem: Americans are simply too UNEDUCATED.

I've emailed it to my senators and the White House. I think it is so relevant to the upcoming immigration vote. After all, aren't we the UNITED STATES? It's beginning to feel a bit like 500 nations crammed into our borders......

"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."

All men can attend school until they are 16 years of age."
