I'm 28YO, male, and have an undergraduate degree in business and Masters in business. I also attended law school for 2 years though I didn't finish. I want to become an infantry officer in the Army and am in touch with a recruiter. I have to go before an OCS board with documents that must include at least 3 and no more than 6 recommendations about my character. I've had good jobs and academic experiences, but none of the people that I've asked to write a recommnedation will. Its not that they don't respect me or think that I'm not leadership material, but they are adamantly against me joining the Army. I scored a 98 on the ASVAB, have strong college and grad school transcripts, not married, no children, and good health. However, I am having a difficult time overcoming this hurdle for an admissions packet with meaningful letters of recommendation from people with credentials. Any ideas on joining and making this happen?

And if I were George W. Bush and the FISA law said I couldn't take domestic flights without prior court approval, would the New York Times and the Boston Globe start calling my flight from Logan to Heathrow a domestic flight?

Our "Founding Fathers" were dissenters. They wanted us to be able to speak our mind about our government. If I criticize the government or its current administration it doesnt mean that I hate my country or the citizens. Arent people tired of being called "commies" or "unpatriotic" because we dont blindly follow an administration that is driving our country into the Sh**ter?

I have read and heard a lot of citizens complaining about the horrors of police brutality.
How many of you who are sickend by these acts against humanity have actually witnessed it?
How many have heard about it on the news?
How many know someone who has been brutalized and/or bullied by supposed law enforcement?

Of course I'm referring to those who supported the Amnesty.
Will You forget what they did? Will You give them another chance to restart their crusade against America? I won't. I don't care what they propose nor what they promise to get my vote. I WILL VOTE JUST GET THEM OUT OF OFFICE.

At least that's what i heard. Now,i didn't know they grew peanuts in the desert. Must be damned good to be worth the sacrifice of so many lives and money. I heard those peanuts are red. Must be stained in something.

I am a Libertarian not voting for him. I actually do not like any of the candidates on either side except for Biden. I am voting for Biden because of his plan for Iraq, Iran, Darfur, and Afghanistan.

It seems she spends all her time attacking anyone who disagrees with her position rather than letting them speak. Come on Michele, take a breath.

I hear all this sheep saying that Bush lied. What did he lie about? Our intelligence and every other one in the world thought he had WMD. We know he had them at one point because we gave them to him and he killed 180K of his own people with one plane. England and others still stand by the information of Saddam looking for yellow cake in Africa. So what did he lie about? Stop this brainwashing and re-writing of history.
