Saddam Hussein was the modern day Hitler. He murdered thousands of innocent curds, which he hid by way of mass graves, gased whole towns and falsly arrested over 300 people. How can you even say there was no reason? I mean c'mon! If that isnt a reason to go to war I dont know what is!

My ex husband is suppose to pay 300.00 every other week for child support. Originally we had custody set up on every 2 weeks alternated. Now he told me we could reduce this to every other week *if* I would return the chid support to him. I did this because my kids were so miserable with him and his new wife. Now he is wanting me to write a letter that is notarized showing I pay this back and always will until the kids are 18. He wants this because he is trying to finance a house. If I do this to keep the peace, will this hold up in court, should we ever go back to court?

A lot of the candidates at last nights democratic debate said we should stop the war and use that money to help African countries. Aren't there things right here at home we take care of first?

When you go to work do you feel that you "owe" them

Or do you feel it is a trade are you consious of that when you go to work

Same for the nation and the family what is the majority of the "feeling" you have - Indebted in some manner or somthing else ?

WAS IMMIGRATION BILL A DEMOCRATIC TRAP? -by Dick Morris

Did fifteen Democrats vote to kill the immigration bill to assure its defeat and guarantee that the Latino vote would go Democrat in the 2008 election?

Was it a set up all along? Did the Dems lure Bush into a compromise knowing that the GOP base would go ballistic and inflict a high profile defeat on the president sure to cripple his presidency and give the Hispanics a well publicized slap-in-the-face courtesy of the GOP?

Only my appreciation of the lack of strategic intellect in the Democratic Party inhibits me from saying yes to all these questions. But I still wonder?

Ann Coulter comes off very poorly every time she opens her mouth. Personally, I think Elizabeth Edwards used that to her husband's advantage. When E Edwards called in, she had to know exactly the kind of response she would get. And, Coulter delivered. I am not certain how much money was coming in to her husband's campaign but I bet its gone up a bit now. If Coulter truly wanted to hurt the Edwards' campaign, she would have apologized for her statements. Coulter would never think to do that, though. But, the fact is that everyone knows that Coulter comes off as a generally nasty person and a blowhard. So, while I do think that Elizabeth Edwards had every right to make her phone call, I also think that she had another motive in mind. Just a thought.

When someone does a background check (like a potential employer) What shows up and what doesn't. In context:: A man who assaulted his girlfriend, and plead bargained in order to not go to court, court decided to have a deferrment (meaning he doesn't go to jail, just has to be good for one year) After that year is up, does the charge stay on his criminal record forever, or does it get cleared up eventually. Will employers see this? Will it follow him around forever?

In Pennsylvania, my landlord died and his live-in girlfriend claims she's now the landlord. I guess she's going on the whole "common-law wife" bit, but when he was alive I wasn't even allowed to give her the rent! he knew she'd spend it. Her name was and is not on anything having to do with the house, deed, bank accounts, etc. When landlord died, he was in the process of fixing some things. They still haven't been fixed so I stopped paying rent. Legally, I wonder who owns the house? He has no family that has come to claim his property and if "possession is truly 9/10 of the law" then don't I have a claim on the house? Also, if she sells it (to me) and her name isn't on the deed, if a "legal" claimant comes along, can they take the house away from me? I have an appointment with a real estate attorney next week but in the mean time was curious if anyone out there had a real clue to what my rights could be. Thanks.

It's the independence from the British Govt, right? So some die hard Americans will say "yeah cuz the dang Brits make us pay taxes at that time!" So are we not still paying taxes to the U.S. Govt instead? And if the Brits had won wouldn't we be taken care by Tony Blair as our leader instead of BUSH? So why should I celebrate?? It's not like the Brits Govt. are the Commie or anything, right?

AUSTIN, TX – The Young Conservatives of Texas - University of Texas Chapter announced today that they will be displaying an “ACLU Nativity Scene” on the West Mall of the University of Texas campus. The group’s intent is to raise awareness on the extremity of the ACLU, and bring to light its secular-progressive efforts to remove Christmas from the public sphere. The display, the first of its kind in the nation, will feature characters that are quite a bit different than the standard crèche.

“We’ve got Gary and Joseph instead of Mary and Joseph in order to symbolize ACLU support for homosexual marriage, and of course there isn’t a Jesus in the manger,” said Chairman Tony McDonald. “The three Wise Men are Lenin, Marx, and Stalin because the founders of the ACLU were strident supporters of Soviet style Communism. The whole scene is a tongue-in-cheek way of showing the many ways that the ACLU and the far left are out of touch with the values of mainstream America"

There is a definite pattern. The terms libs, commies, sissies, etc How is this viewed as political discourse? Rationality and evidence are the standard. Emotion and agression dont lead to a democratic society, but a totalitarian one. SO why the use of slande, slur and aggression? Dont come back with "cause democrats are idiots", you'll just prove my point.

Or do you have a different vision of how Bush's war objectives will be realized?

The Home Depot is tired of being forced by local governments to accommodate the day laborers who turn up in its store parking lots seeking construction work. So the Georgia-based company turned to Congress for help.


I think it is insane that we try and appease criminals at all.

Every one of these poor hard working looking for a better life illegals is STEALING a job from an American.

The Americans that hire them, I just can't think of enough BAD things to say to these traitors, they would have been marched to the gallows years back.

First of all, the mexicans who come into this country are usually illegal immigrants. Notice the word "illegal". We all were immigrants at some point or had great great families that were immigrants but we came into the u.s. LEGALLY. some of us were brought into this country because we had no choice because of war and slaughtering of millions of people. So why does the hispanic community always use that saying.. that we all were immigrants too so why not give us a chance? well yeah we would if you would wait in line like the rest of the world is and do it legally and actually try to learn english and adapt to our culture. If you can picture a scene where we are at the movie theatres and the theatres represent the u.s and you see a crowd of people waiting in line to go watch it.. (them being immigrants waiting in line legally), and then you see hispanics cutting in line and making it even harder for immigrants to get in. Then when they finally get to the front they are denied.

LOGAN, Utah - A 76-year-old woman has been barred from the bus station after giving unwanted birth-control advice to mothers with large families. "I think it's wrong. It's a violation of my First Amendment rights," Laura Stevens said.

She was arrested Tuesday for trespassing, a misdemeanor, according to police records.

"She's been making comments to some of the Hispanic passengers that they should be on the pill, that they're taking over our society," said Todd Beutler, general manager of the Cache Valley Transit District.
