My little brother was driving to the airport to fly to Florida with a friend to visit my brother when he was hit by a woman who blew a red light. Everyone in his vehicle was wearing seatbelts and they were properly insured and registered. The other car, however had 8 people in it, 4 adults and 4 children, none of which were wearing seat belts, no one in the car had a drivers license and the vehicle was not insured at all. No one in the vehicle that struck my brother was injured, everyone in my brothers car was taken away on stretchers. Also, my brother was supposed to leave for the Navy in 3 weeks, but he sustained such a serious knee injury from the accident that they don't think he's eligible anymore to join the service. A young man, answering his countries call to war, seriously injured by a negligent idiot who may have snuffed out his carreer before it ever started. Furthermore, he is a National Karate Champion for over seven years running, now he can't move his leg. Help.

Just in case you don't know what "reverse engineer" means, it means to take another product (such as a competitor's) take it apart and study how it works so that a new and better rifle that has everything the AK-47 has and more can be made by America. Why dont we do that?

I read an article written by a Dem that was promoting the idea that dems should register as repubs and vote for Ron Paul in the primary election. The concept was to prevent one of the others from winning.

So if that is the case, who do they hope will win the Repub primaries? Who would a vote for Paul take a vote away from?

I find it a clear indicator of their lack of morality that they would stoop to such deception to win an election.

It seems so.

"Wilson said that a former prime minister of Niger, Ibrahim Assane Mayaki, was unaware of any sales contract with Iraq, but said that in June 1999 a businessman approached him, insisting that he meet with an Iraqi delegation to discuss "expanding commercial relations" between Niger and Iraq -- which Mayaki interpreted to mean they wanted to discuss yellowcake sales. A report CIA officials drafted after debriefing Wilson said that "although the meeting took place, Mayaki let the matter drop due to UN sanctions on Iraq."

According to the former Niger mining minister, Wilson told his CIA contacts, Iraq tried to buy 400 tons of uranium in 1998."

European are NOT having babies and most all of the immigrints coming into Europe are from the Middle East.

"And the hard data on babies around the Western world is that they're running out a lot faster than the oil is. "Replacement" fertility rate--i.e., the number you need for merely a stable population, not getting any bigger, not getting any smaller--is 2.1 babies per woman. Some countries are well above that: the global fertility leader, Somalia, is 6.91, Niger 6.83, Afghanistan 6.78, Yemen 6.75. Notice what those nations have in common?
Scroll way down to the bottom of the Hot One Hundred top breeders and you'll eventually find the United States, hovering just at replacement rate with 2.07 births per woman. Ireland is 1.87, New Zealand 1.79, Australia 1.76. But Canada's fertility rate is down to 1.5, well below replacement rate; Germany and Austria are at 1.3, the brink of the death spiral; Russia and Italy are at 1.2; Spain 1.1, about half replacement rate."

Have you ever listened to these guys? they talk about the Left letting the terrorists win, yet they talk as they live every second in fear of another attack. Isn't that the objective of terrorism?
Oh, and before all you right wingers start calling me a liberal, I'm not. If they had an extensive radio network I'm sure it would be just as laughable.

*He gets them to fund the war even when the Dems said they wouldn't.

*He got them to approve all of those Conservative judges into the Supreme Court.

*Congress tries to distance himself from Bush but they're approval ratings are still just as low as his.

Could it be that Bushie is actually smart because he makes fools out of the looney libs?

Of those of you who profess to 'Support the Troops', how many of you have actually DONE something to support the troops? Aside from sticking a Made in China decal on the back of your car, that is?

How many of you have just shaken the hand of a GI in an airport?

How many of you have offered up the use of your cell phone to a GI returning from Iraq?

How many of you have volunteered at: The USO, a VA hospital, or a military Family Support Center?

How many of you have had the guts to speak out against an unjust war and the deaths of over 3,000 of our sons and daughters?

How many of you have had the guts to speak out against the folly of diverting the troops to Iraq for a needless death yet leave UBL to run free in Afghanistan or Pakistan where they are TRUE HEROES and HEROINES for a JUST CAUSE that virtually the entire world supported?

I've done all of the above. Have you done even one??

Stand and be counted, or sit down and just shut up!

Isn`t it just possible that by invading a country and killing 300,000 if it`s poulation it may be said that the stupid yankees are causing a little trouble themselves. For goodness sake wake up to what you have become !!!!!!

Short of a revolution? It really doesn't seem like the voting thing is working all that well. No matter who we vote for, we end up with a disaster of some sort or another. And more than half of Americans don't even vote. What a disgrace.

Do other countries go through this?

I'm not so mad about this Libby thing...we were expecting it anyways...it was predictable. But overall, I see the "higher ups" get away with murder, legislation is bought for special interests, with little concern for the people, and voters have to wait years for recourse.

Something like George W. Bush embroiled the United States in a futile and protracted war in the Middle East.
