In Orange County CA a judge just sentenced an illegal alien to 16 months in jail for a DUI. He could have received a 6 year sentence.

Problem is that this wasn't his 1st conviction. It was his 9th DUI and he has been deported 3 times over the last 21 years. His blood alcohol level was .27 (legal limit is .08) for this DUI. The illegal alien plead guilty.

Thankfully he hasn't hit or killed anyone YET. However, he will probably spend 8 months in jail and then will be deported AGAIN.

What do you think about the sentence, the fact that he will be back in the US in about 9 months and the judge is an idiot!?

Our brave and dedicated military heroes can't take a vacation, can't take a break or even a breather, their lives are on the line every day and they bust their *** every day for us. How many of you actually realize it and appreciate it? I sure as hell do...

The Differential Theory of US Armed Forces (Snake Model) upon
encountering a snake in the Area of Operations or A Diversified
Approach to Military Operations:

Infantry: Snake smells them, leaves area.

Airborne: Lands on and kills the snake.

Armor: Runs over snake, laughs, and looks for more snakes.

Aviation: Has Global Positioning Satellite coordinates to snake.
Can't find snake. Returns to base for refuel, crew rest and manicures.

Ranger: Plays with snake, then eats it.

Field Artillery: Kills snake with massive Time On Target barrage with
three Forward Artillery Brigades in support. Kills several hundred
civilians as unavoidable collateral damage. Mission is considered a
success and all participants (i.e. cooks, mechanics and clerks) are
awarded Silver Stars.

Special Forces: Makes contact with snake, ignores all State
Department directives and Theater Commander Rules of Engagement by
building rapport with snake and winning its heart and mind. Trains it
to kill other snakes. Files enormous travel voucher upon return.

Combat Engineer: Studies snake. Prepares in-depth doctrinal thesis in
obscure 5-series Field Manual about how to defeat snake using
countermobility assets. Complains that maneuver forces don't
understand how to properly conduct doctrinal counter-snake ops.

Navy SEAL: Expends all ammunition and calls for naval gunfire support
in failed attempt to kill snake. Snake bites SEAL and retreats to
safety. Hollywood makes fantasy film in which SEALs kill Muslim
extremist snakes.

Navy: Fires off 50 cruise missiles from various types of ships, kills
snake and makes presentation to Senate Appropriations Committee on
how Naval forces are the most cost-effective means of anti-snake
force projection.

Marine: Kills snake by accident while looking for souvenirs. Local
civilians demand removal of all US forces from Area of Operations.

Marine Recon: Follows snake, gets lost.

Combat Controllers: Guides snake elsewhere.

Para-Rescue Jumper: Wounds snake in initial encounter, then works
feverishly to save snake's life.

Supply: (NOTICE: Your anti-snake equipment is on backorder.)

Transport pilot: Receives call for anti-snake equipment, delivers two
weeks after due date.

F-16 pilot: Finds snake, drops two CBU-87 cluster bombs, and misses
target due to weather.

AH-64 Apache pilot: Unable to locate snake, snakes don't show well on
infra-red.

UH-60 Blackhawk pilot: Finds snake on fourth pass after snake starts
bonfire to mark Landing Zone. Rotor wash blows snake into the fire.

B-52 pilot: Pulls ARCLIGHT mission on snake, kills snake and every
other living thing within two miles of target.

Missile crew: Lays in target coordinates to snake in 20 seconds, but
can't receive authorization from National Command Authority to use
nuclear weapons.

Intelligence officer: Snake? What snake? Only 4 of 35 indicators of
snake activity are currently active. We assess the potential for
snake activity as LOW.

Judge Advocate General (JAG): Snake declines to bite, citing grounds
of professional courtesy.

CH-47 Pilot: Slingleg breaks in flight while slingloading anti-snake
equiptment, pilot cuts slingload. Slingload lands on snake and kills
it. Crew chief uses dead snake to replace broken slingleg.

Navy Pilot: Draped snake around neck at Tail Hook to pick up chicks.

Military Police: Gave snake a sobriety test for not moving in a
straight line.

Signal: Broadcasts 200,000+ watt transmissions in support of anti-
snake missions, accidentally electrecuted snake in the process.

Corps of Engineers: Surveyed and researched area for plans on
improving flood plain, can't do it because snake is on the endangered
species list.

Cooks: Snake sneaks in chow hall. Snake dies of food poisoning.

hipocarcy upon hiporcarcy

durning the confrimation hearings the dems where slowing confrimations. so the repub. tried to pass the nuclear option.

(note:the nuclear option is not a new idea. the dems tried to passit once befor)

so republicans you are no smarter than the demicrats

SO THE REAL QUESTION
why didnt either side vote for the nuclear option when they where in the minority knowing that sooner or later they would be in power to take advantage of it?

People say that china is next in line for the top of the world. Do you really think so? My opinion is that, yes, but only if our economy keeps going the way it is.

Im confused! My husband is wanting to join the Air force, and I think he should go for it. BUT, I was looking at the starting pay and its only 1300 A MONTH!!! I was shocked. Im a stay at home mother, and with making so little, I would have to get a job, and put my baby in daycare. And I don't know if I like that. Why so little....and two...what is the base housing situation? Is there really a waiting list, and how long are they usually?

I heard that the Army buys homes from soldiers if they cant sell it. I have not found any information on this, is this true? That would be great, but I am sure that it is a slim chance. Anyone know any information about this?

Just a very simple question. Please imagine the things happening after such thing occurs: what the governments will do (especially US government), what the course will be, what the world will react, etc.
Please be serious and enthusiast. I don't appreciate too simple or foolish answers.

chairity has always existed... but it simply has never even come close to filling the needs that are present among the poor...

that's why we have welfare...

would you really want to live in a nation were 1,000's of the the poor died daily and lived in squalor in shantytowns? There's plenty in Africa where they don't have welfare if you want to see an example of what "no welfare" looks like... they have charities in Africa, but the need is so large, it does little...

do any of you care in the least?

Lets remember that Al Qaeda in Iraq is there and functioning. They may not have gone there if we didn't invade, but that doesn't mean they aren't there now. If Barack Obama was smart, he would push for a redefinition of the Iraq war to only fight terrorism, period. Leave the political reconciliation up to the Iraqis instead of us shoving an unrealistic policy down their throat. If they blow it all, we can sit back and blame them and Iran. Let the military do what they do best, kill and capture.
