The extreme right and left has been running this country way to long. They wanted the middle class completely out of the way. In their effort to silence us the exact opposite has happened. The middle class has been awakened! We are now angry as hell and won't take this anymore. This is evidenced by the defeat of the latest amnesty bill. The middle class has been shown that you do not have to wait for a formal election, but can exercise their power to steer elected representatives and make them to listen to us. The middle class still has some clout and there is hope for America and to bring us back to the path of our founders and families that toiled, bled and believed in the American dream!

Good people of America, I posted a question earlier about how Nebraska does not exist. Now I will explain to you why it does not. 15 years ago my good friend Elivs Presley wrote a song about Nebraska. People came to think of it as a state. It is not. It does not exist. Elvis was so heartbroken he moved to his undnerground mansion in Vermont. People, believe me! Nebraska does not exist! Everyone thinks I'm on drugs, go to the place called "Nebraska" nothing will be there.

My dad let me use his car to drive from Manchester back home. My BMW is being serviced.

I got flashed on motorway midnight. in his car..I shouted about the police and being unfair. The woman said she will restrain me, I said try it and ill restrain you. This point I went to my pocket. They both then said they could smell cannabis on me when i moved my pocket, BULL, stereotypical for asians with fast cars.

Anyways they stop and searched there and then and found it.

They gave me a caution for cannabis.

This questions is posed for liberal democrats. Why is it ok for you and your party to trash talk Conservatives and call us horrible names. For example..because we believe in God we are religious nut cases...But if conservative say something bad about liberals, they are hate mongers? or that we spew hatred?

Rush Limbaugh Audience Among Most
Knowledgeable and Educated in All of American Media




RUSH: I just got this, and I'm not able to study it and really make a whole lot of sense out of it. It's a Pew survey on who watches television and what the partisan political split of various TV show audiences is and all. You get down to what the Pew -- P-e-w -- survey of this stuff, you get down to one section, who's got the smartest, who has the most knowledgeable audience, and on television -- just listen to what this says. "On television, The O'Reilly Factor, has the most knowledgeable audience, 27% of the audience are college grads, which matches the national average," but, but:

Only three audiences in the Pew survey scored higher on high knowledge than O'Reilly at his Factor TV show. Regular readers of The New Yorker and the Atlantic, regular Rush Limbaugh listeners, and regular Weekly Standard and New Republic readers. I don't know if there's anybody above that. I don't have that, because radio and this stuff is not part of the survey, at least from the website that I'm reading this from. But I have always known it. I have always known that you people are among the most knowledgeable, engaged, informed, and educated people listening to any media in the country today. I think I found documented evidence of it here from Pew, but it's just a little aside in a story about television audiences.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I had some time to dig deep into this Pew survey for People and the Press, and it starts out here by saying, "News audiences vary widely in age, education, and how much they know about what's going on in the nation and the world." Then there's a ranking here of various television programs. At any rate: "Judged by their answers to three knowledge questions, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, The O'Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources. Close behind are the regular audiences for NPR and The Daily Show."

It doesn't look good for the major broadcast networks. At any rate, education, age, and knowledge. College grads, this program number two, at 37%. The average age of the audience of this program, 51, and the high knowledge score is 48, and its number two. This program, number two in all of American media in education and knowledge. It is preceded only by the Weekly Standard and New Republic readers, 38% college grads, 38 is the average age. The libs are dragging us down a little bit. Eh, the libs may be dragging down the Weekly Standard a bit.

Why in the hell are we making one of the biggest deals we have ever made about the number of troops killed in Iraq. It is in no real comparison to any other significant war we have participated in. I feel it is partly due to the media coverage, and alot to do with the overall strategy of the Islamic extremists, they no we have lost our stomach for blood.

I'll break down the words by definition:

Civilian: A person following the pursuits of civil life, especially one who is not an active member of the military, the police, or a belligerent group

Inmate: one of a group occupying a single place of residence; especially a person confined in a prison or hospital for a long time

Labor: 1. productive activity for the sake of economic gain 2. body of persons considered as a class distinguished from management and capital; physical work, esp. of a hard or fatiguing kind; toil

Camp: 1. shelter for persons displaced by war or political oppression or for religious beliefs 2. a penal institution (often for forced labor); "China has many camps for political prisoners"

Get the picture? It's being thrown right in your face. Are you mad yet?

KENNEDY: We know what they're against! We don't know what they're for! Time and time again, they tell us, "We don't like this provision! We don't like that provision! We don't want that part of it!" Well, they ought to be able to explain to the American people what they are for! What are they going to do with the 12 and a half million, erra, who are undocumented here? Send them back? Send them back to countries around the world? More than $250 billion, buses that would go from Los Angeles to New York and back again? Try and find them. Develop a type of Gestapo here to seek out these people that are in the shadows? That's their alternative? That's their alternative!

RUSH: Well, this is laughable. Senator Kennedy, perhaps you don't remember that there was an amendment offered, the touchback amendment, and this is where all of these 12 million (as you say, we think it's closer to 20) but have to go back to their home countries. Now, just how in the world were they going to be found and forced to do this? If we can't find 'em now, if it's going to cost too much money and all this, how in the world...? Oh, oh, oh, I get it! They were going to obey the law on their own. Oh, they knew that. You think that was going to happen? They wouldn't trust that provision for a second, and they know there's no reason to leave, because the odds that they're going to be rounded up are no better than they've ever been, so why? Why go back and touchback when the overriding theory you have is you might not get back in unless you come in illegally. There's so many contradictions in all of this, but we have shouted from the rooftops -- I'm sorry, from the golden microphone, Senator Kennedy -- a we do know what we're for, and that's enforcement of current law. Enforce of existing law! It's not complicated. Here's more of Senator Kennedy.

KENNEDY: And we have a process, er, that said, "Look, okay, you're here and undocumented, and you're going to have to pay a price. We're going to take people that are in the line, that have said that they want to play by the rules. They go and they wait and you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait, and you pay and you pay and you pay. You pay, uh, your fees. You pay your processing fees, your adjustment fees. You pay, uh, not only for yourself; you pay for the other members of the family. You demonstrate that you're going to learn English. You demonstrate that you've worked here. You demonstrate that you're a good citizen. You demonstrate that you haven't had any run on in on crime [sic], and then maybe -- and then maybe -- you get on that pathway with the green card and perhaps in 15, 18 years you'll be able to raise your hand and be a citizen, eh, here in the United States.

RUSH: (Laughing.) Fifteen to 18 years to be a citizen! (Laughing.) You know, this is why it's laughable when they insult us for not knowing what's in the bill. The simple fact of the matter is that there's no need for these people to pursue the path to citizenship because the minute this bill would have been signed, they're legal! You all know all this. We're going blue in the face talking about it. If this bill ever does or did become law, the minute it's signed, they're legal -- after the mythical 24-hour background check. (Laughing.) How are we gonna do the background check if we can't find 'em? But they don't have to pay the fines if they don't pursue citizenship. This really is a disconnect here. I don't know if it's just tone deaf. I think they have, Senator Kennedy and some of these people, such a lofty view of these people that he thinks that they all want to be full-fledged citizens (crying), and that that's what they're dying to do, and that's what they came here for, and we're standing in their way (sobbing), because these bigots and racists and restrictionists and talk radio! All we want them to do is be citizens in 15 to 18 years.

But they don't have to do any of that and that's the only way they get out of paying the fine. We also know that if they did pursue citizenship, it wouldn't be long before the senators would say, "Well, you know, this $5,000 fine? That's bit high. It's a bit punitive. Why, we're taking food out of the mouths of starving children who are someday going to be American citizens." All of this was poppycock. What it boils down to is, very simply, the American people -- you --didn't believe what your elected officials were telling you, and you didn't believe that they could do what they said the bill would do, and that's why I said this is an opportunity. People got a great illustration here of the inefficiencies and the unworkableness of a bloated, over-the-top-size government, and believe me, folks, that's premise I'm not going to abandon. It's going to be a reminder I'm going to continue to make, because that's something that people may not even notice themselves until it's pointed out to them, until their reminded of it, but this was one of the fabulous aspects of all this that happened.

When the average American income is less than $50,000, isn't this too much? If we could force them to work for the wages of the every-man, wouldn't that keep our government more in touch with their constituents?
What do you think? Why?

Once Iraq is stable how many American corporations will invest there. How many Iraqis will be working for american companies and making the fat cats of america richer and richer.... whilst they hide behind the guise that they are helping to rebuild the nation.

I am against war, and I feel some sympathy for people who get involved in it and can't handle it for whatever reason. It's proven that most soldiers suffer some psychological damage from war. I sort of believe though that if you sign up for the military, this is what you can expect to happen. I just read that penalties for U.S. deserters are small - they often return voluntarily and are discharged less than honorably. Do you think they should face criminal charges? I guess I feel that desertion is better than going loco and committing unspeakable crimes against innocent civilians. I would think that how patriotically charged this country is, that they would jail these people. I kind of think they're heroes - they're standing up against war in a way.
