Would you rather our country did nothing? If you were the president what would you do? And how would that make things better?

And during the presidential election major University president Said he would revoke degrees of those voting for this presidential candidate. Are we talking about President George W. Bush, no!!! With all the left talking about how evil and stupid president Bush is how will history judge him. Well when President GEORGE Washington was leaving office noted Revolutionary Writer Thomas Paine said he was a traitor and wished for his death. And another "questionable" presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson had the President of Yale University wanting to revoke degrees for those voting for this scoundrel. Left, be wary of your hatred because his history has a tendancy to judge you also in your wrongness. One of the singers during the concerts this weekend had a song invoking a leader like Abraham Lincoln who could be respected. Yes the Lincoln who at the time had half the country leaving the Union and then during the middle of the war major anti-war protests in all cities.

It's pretty scary actually. A guy with a 111 IQ is still smarter than 75% of the country. This is probably the reason so many argue he's not dumb. To them, he's not! This is all fine and dandy for your average sales clerk or ditch digger, but the President of the United States needs a little more under the hood than the counter guy at Wendy's.

Note Clinton's 136 IQ. Look at column I-U. Ignore the other three. They list unrealistically high estimates or corrections (for everyone, not just Bush II).

Republicans talk about their idealized version of America... and that version seems to be in strong contrast to what the country is really like.

What is America really like?

What if you're in small claims court, and the plantiff or defendent brings up that you also committed other types of crimes that you never got caught for. Does that mean that it's ok for the cops to arrest you again, during or after court? Were not talking about murder here, maybe fraud or something.

Just saw this headline - "After 22 years, DNA frees man convicted of rape". What is done for exonerated criminals? I think he should be awarded millions of dollars and set up in a home and basically given back everything that was taken from him. What do you think?

There doesn't seem to be any more right-wing party to vote for.

Also, communism and fascism are two different forms of left-wing totalitarian forms of governance. Why do liberals want to associate fascism with the right wing which is defined by less government?

Shouldn't we all just say to hell with everybody running for president and vote for Ron Paul?

Recently, FBI Director Robert Mueller, in an interview with NewsMax, confirmed Williams' main claim. Mueller said al-Qaida's paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Mueller told NewsMax that at times, the threat feels so real he lies awake at night thinking about the prospect.

Williams maintains that al-Qaida is not content on blowing up one nuclear device or even simply a "dirty" nuke — but wants to explode real nuclear devices in seven U.S. cities simultaneously.

Williams says these cities are New York, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Miami, Boston, Houston, and Los Angeles.

Mueller seems to confirm this claim of multiple attacks, saying both New York and Washington would be likely targets. Already Williams says the U.S. government has Washington webbed by "choke" points to detect nuclear material.

For many Americans the threat of al-Qaida's nuclear ambitions begins in the time after the horrific 9/11 attacks.

But as Williams shows so clearly, al-Qaida has been devising its nuclear plan since the early 1990s — and the U.S. government and other intelligence services have been well aware of al-Qaida's plan.

For example, Williams quotes Michael Scheuer, a senior CIA official who headed the agency's bin Laden unit.

Scheuer admitted the CIA "found that [bin Laden] and al-Qaida were involved in an extraordinarily sophisticated and professional effort to acquire weapons of mass destruction — in this case, nuclear weapons; so, by the end of 1996, it was clear that this was an organization unlike any other one we had ever seen."

Remember, Scheuer is describing the period before 9/11, proving again that bin Laden had been investing enormous time, resources, and money into getting nuclear weapons for more than 10 years.

Bin Laden and his adherents believe this nuclear cataclysm will usher in "The Day of Islam," the dream of radical Muslims to see all of humankind fall in submission before the throne of Allah as the "Great Satan," America, is brought to her knees.

Williams is not surprised at all that bin Laden has planned to launch such nuclear attacks, suggesting his delay is consistent with his past pattern of activities. For sure, it is a plan that has been long in its hatching.

Here's my thought. Sometimes this whole immigration thing just frustrates me. The first time I came to this country was through a student visa, then I went back home after I graduated college. My parents had to pay about $1,200 more than the average student because I came from another country. I ended up coming back to the US through a HB1 visa stayed 4+ years. Then I hired an attorney to do all the paper work for me so I could become a US Resident.

What blows me away is how people can just come here and get all these services, for free. While my road to being a US Resident has be a costly one.

This does not only frustrate me but it also frustrates my co-works who are from Spain and Latin America. We came here with work visas had attorneys do the paper work for us. We are college educated but yet people with barely a 6th grade education get a free ride.

Talk about double standards!

Now, am I correct in the thinking that the deficit is the amount of overage of government spending which exceeds revenue generated?

So, what is the National Debt? Who exactly does the government owe their (our) money to? And if we have such high debt, how can we give or lend enormous amounts of money to other countries?

If anybody can explain this to me in simple terms (I don't have a finance degree, I have an English degree) then you get 10 pts!

He's doing it again......now Bush says he will not allow former employees to testify under oath before Congress. The arrogance of this attempt is beyond reality. Can he really expect to force private citizens to refuse Congressional testimony? They no longer work for him so they should be able to say anything they please, according to the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. Does he think he's King of all he surveys? Maybe he feels like he has the same power over America that Saddam had over Iraq......as an absolute dictator.
