Now that Bush has commuted the sentence of his buddy who leaked the identity of an undercover CIA agent because the sentence was "too harsh", will he commute the ten year sentence of a 17 year old kid who got a BJ from a 15 year old kid?

I mean gosh, doesn't it seem a bit "harsh" that this 17 year old kid will spend 10 years in jail for getting his penis sucked at party? But then again we all know blowjobs are serious crimes, unlike, say, lying to the American people about the reasons this country starts wars and intentionally leaking the identities of covert CIA agents who are married to those who speak out against such illegal wars that kill thousands of Americans...

this type of **** makes me want to move to Canada....

'Steeling' oil would be sooo easy, the oil is not in the cities and towns, its in the desert. If the 'evil bush warmachine' wanted oil the war would have been bloodless, all we would have to do is roll in, secure the oil fields build a perimeter and thats it. No one can stop the US army in the field, 1000 yard kill zone, oil galore. But thats not what we went in for, we went in to take down an evil dictator in order the scare the bejesus out of Korea and Iran, and now we are proving we can build a successful Muslim Democracy. If we wanted oil we could have oil, whats not to get?

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Does the Statue of Liberty still express American views today?

We ignore our problems, fail to exercise our rights to vote (more people voted for american idol than our last president), we push aside those who do not agree with us, and we fail help those who truely need our help.

In this age, we look at our tired, our poor, and tell them to get a job. So many look away from the homeless, because they dont want to be asked for their spare change...

al-Qaida has been able to totally rebuild and is now strong than it was pre-9/11.

Gee could it possibly be because our brave forces are in Iraq fighting a civil war when they should have stayed hunting down OBL?

Noooooo....can't be.

The Islamic Terrorists are the fascists. Most people believe fascism is putting the state before the people. This is a common definition. But; there are several things that charaterize all fascist states which are the basis for Islamic Terror. Firstly fascism depends on the fear/hatred/attack of a specific group, for Franco it was the Communists, for Hitler the Jews, for Mossolini the British, For the Islamic Terrorists America and the Jews. Second is the objective of gaining or regaining power for the fascist state. Franco wanted the old Spanish Empire, Mossoulini wanted to rebuild the Roman Empire, Hitler wanted Barbarosa's Holy Roman Empire, the Islamic fascists wan the old Muslim Empire, the Caliphate, the Islamic State. Just as we were during the early 20th Century we are again at war with Fascism, and we must not rest untill it is once again swept from the face of the earth. Why do liberals not see that fascism is the mark of our enemy: Islam, I mean terrorism.

What would you do if the government classified ketchup as an controled substance, and that posesion or production of ketchup could result in up to 5 years in prison and/or a $50,000 fine?
Would you buy it from your neighbor who was making it illegaly, or would you even go so far as to become a ketchup bootleger yourself?

it seems to me that if you love Jesus you cannot be for war. Jesus said bless those who curse you. Turn the other cheek, and love thy enemy.

How does all this fit in with invading the middle east. Bush did run on the strength of his love of Jesus, but he doesn't seem to practice what he preaches.

Shouldn't the people of faith be looking to jesus for a Jesus-like answer instead of grabbing the 16's and loading the lads onto the battleships?
