I think Mr Mayor Street should get off his *** and open his eyes instead of his new iPhone! Which by the way he too sat in a long long line for his iphone when he should have been dealing with all these sense-less deaths in Philadelphia. Shame on you Mr. Street.

Every election I can remember, the Republicans have always proclaimed that the Democrats will tax us to death and then take away our right to keep and bear aims.

I have yet to see any of their "predictions" come true in my short 48 years as an American, how about you?

Yes.

I had signed up for a six year enlistment under the advanced electronics program. My MOS wish list included all the cool aviation electronics aircrew MOS’s.

Then, during week 2 of boot, they showed us the USS Forestall movie (the classified stuff you don't see on the History Channel). They turned off the projector, turned on the lights and asked, "Does anyone want to change their aviation MOS?" About 15 hands went up, including mine.

They gave us our MOS lists back then turned off the lights again for our next film, "Ballistic Missile Submarine."

“Three months on. Three months off. Hazardous duty pay and steaks on Saturday. Hawaii, Scotland..."

The lights came on again..."Who would like to volunteer for submarines?" Mine, and bout 10 other hands went up.

I filled out my new MOS request list, ET, FT, RM, IC and some funny one I remembered from the movies...Sonar Tech.

Sonar Technician Submarine...what an adventure!

USS Thomas Jefferson, SSBN 618 Blue

They all hate America and are harboring Bin Ladin. Why spend billions more fighting them, sacrifising our liberty and more troops, and risking another terrorist attack? This is why God gave us nukes. Let's stop listening to the pansy's in the U.N.

I’m proposing that the United States should look into giving tax benefits to those that have one child for a college paper. And not give tax breaks to those who decide to overpopulate our cities, destroy our education system, and act as if it’s their right for us to support their children. The aim would be to make it socially unacceptable to have more then two children. Instead of implementing cruel policies of forced sterilizations and such, although government sponsored sterilizations and birth control wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’m having trouble finding a primary source I was thinking about using China’s popular one child act, which I would criticize but also encourage some of it at the same time. The only problem is, I can’t find the actual document any help? No I am not looking for anyone to argue my point of view its not even properly established at the moment so please don’t bother all those wanting to yell fascist.

I went to a new OB Gyn on 6/15/2007 and was given a prescription for birth control, on 7/16/2007 I found I was pregnant. On 7/17/2007 I had a sonogram and was informed my pregnancy was ectopic, I was 6-8 weeks, and I was bleeding internally. I was sent to the emergency room where I had surgery and a portionof my right tube was removed along with the pregnancy. The doctor who gave me the prescription for birth control (ortho evra) did not bother giving me a pregnancy test only a pap smear. Had the doctor diagnosed me four weeks prior could the surgery have been avoided? Do I have a case for medical malpractice?

I would say 9/10 dont even know why it failed, practical and theoretically, only that we just got out of the Cold War and it was the "enemy."

I admit that I dont know much either but I dont go throwing around words that I dont know.

FAQs and Web Resources on the Impeachment Process
Impeachment: A Look at the Process

Q. What is impeachment?
A. It is a process, authorized by the Constitution, to bring charges against certain officials of the federal government for misconduct while in office.

Q. Who are these officials?
A. Article 2, Section 4, specifies that "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." These "civil officers" include federal judges and cabinet members, but do not include Senators and Representatives, (the Senate and House deal with misconduct by their own members).

Q. What is the role of the House of Representatives in impeachment under the Constitution?

Why can't some people look at economic and political issues when addressing terrorism rather than just blame it on religious nutcases? Is it wrong to think that is isn't purely in black and white, and that the US isn't completely innocent and that we were not attacked completely unprovoked?

Then why are some alleged criminals incarcerated until trial? Isn't that the same thing as locking up an innocent person?

During the cold war there was a fear of a clash between the two superpowers and it was generally believed that an all out clash between the two countries and their allies would have led to the end of civilisation as we know it. What course do people think a war of this nature would have took and what the results would have been at the end of it?

Soldiers - Congress wants a 3.5% raise for troops whereas Bush has been haggling since March to screw them out of 0.5%.

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Jul/16/ln/FP707160308.html

Meanwhile, Bush has no problem increasing Israeli aid, the largest of any country on the planet, from $2.4 billion to $3 billion PER YEAR for each of the next ten years.

http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=189185&Sn=WORL&IssueID=30132

Percentage comparison:

Bush to Israel +25%, sure no problem.
Bush to American troops fighting Israeli wars in Iraq +0.5% - outrageous, forget it we can't afford it.

Dollar comparison:

Troop pay increase through 2013 per the article = $2.2 billion.
Israel increase through 2013 = $4.2 billion.

What can possibly explain these positions?

Think that they bailed the British out in WW2.....when the fact is that they didn't enter the war until they knew which side would be the winning one

while:
thousands young Americans are killed or become disabled in Iraq,
thousands of Americans are going personal bankrupt due to sluggish economy and increasing debt
the country is going poorer day after day
and China took over monetary policy control...

Anyone can tell me what he has actually achieved for almost 8 years, that might justify his Mr Happy behavior?
