Look at some of the evidence. Most of the Neo-Cons used to be Trotskyite Communists. The Neo-Cons believe in Woodrow Wilson's doctrine of "making the world safe for Democracy." The Neo-Cons believe in the same version of history as the left and repeated the same criticisms against Thomas Woods' bestseller "The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History" as the leftists did. The Neo-Cons admire Franklin Roosevelt and support the policies of LBJ (for example, they've started an Iraq War reminiscent of Vietnam and have expanded welfare more than any administration since LBJ; they also have doubled the size of the LBJ Department of Education).

Is the evidence correct that the Neo-Cons are actually a group from the far-left which has taken over the Republican party and the United States of America?

I am currently a postmaster relief at a small post office. I have been interviewed for a ptf position and there are three veterans ahead of me. Could I be hired over the veterans if I am already a postal employee and they are not or does the veterans rule apply and they all have to be hired before me before I can be considered for a ptf job? Please help, noone knows or will tell me this answer. I have been a PMR for over a year.

I know that the three types of congressional powers that congress has are: EXPRESSED POWERS(explicitly in its wording), IMPLIED POWERS(by reasonable deduction from the expressed powers),INHERENT POWERS(by creating a national govt. for the U.S.), but I need to categorize the things stated in the Constitution(Article I,Sec.8,Article IV,sec.3, Amendment XVI) into the three things...PLEASE HELP ME :)

i noticed theres some question's on here that are similar but most are missing out facts like CANADA beat the USA before even it it was nearly 200 yrs ago and canada is a member of nato so if the us ever wanted to invade would they have to answer to nato.and one last thing ppl think that canada has a small army but i'm sure a lot more canadians even the ones from quebec would enlist to fight off a threat.

so i dont think it would be as easy as some ppl "americans" think i mean they are losing against Iraq

I have asked this question before. I was insulted, agreed with, and made fun of. I intend to go through all of those again with this question, so your attempt at making me feel bad simply won't work.

Anyway, back on the topic:

I'm not sure if he's running but I've heard alot about him from friends saying he's going to run for being the president of 2008. Okay, no problem. But I wanted to know what will be the outcome if he were. So, do you think he has a chance? I do.
But would he be in danger of prejudice people, and will be threatend to throw up his title as president (if he wins), or will it be really unfortunate for him to be "suspiciously" assassinated? I don't know but I really do wish the best for him.
Also, If you're reading. Barack, or shall I say Mr. Obama, I really think you are going to make a very positive change in our states. Instead of causing distruction to our states, cities, people and hearts like bush did. I believe in you, and you ARE one of my "look up toers" basically saying I look up to you alot. You inspire me to follow whatever I want.
I recommend people listen to this. I'll vote for any president that can do better than this. Oh yeah, I'll excuse Lil' Wayne's language also!

I live in the USA and have been talking with an officer from the UK for the past two years. Intermittently, he has to go away for a few months at a time. He tells me that he has a special assignment that he cannot tell me about and that he cannot communicate with me until he is finished.

I'm sure he is an officer and I've seen his name written in the dept. newsletter online (researched it myself.) It even said he received a special award. I have seen him a few times in his uniform via webcam. And, he has given me his home address, which I have verified. He has been very forthcoming....so I've no reason to doubt him.

But, I can't help it. I've been played so often in this life. Can you please tell me.... Is it really possible that he is getting these special assignments and really can't contact me?

My instincts say he is legit....I just need to hear if from someone who knows. I haven't heard from him for 2 months, and I miss him so much!

My ex just finished boot camp and is stationed somewhere in Mississippi. I don't have any details on his status because he doesn't include me on any of this. We have a daughter (I have cared for solely since age 2). He hasn't seen her since several months prior to boot camp. He is ordered to pay child support, which he does and to carry insurance on her, which he never has.

Last week I got a letter from social services stating that I needed to enroll my daughter in DEERS in order to get her military insurance and ID cards. I called the number provided but basically got no answers. They're telling me that everything has to be done on his end. I'm fairly certain that he has her listed as a dependant (they say he gets paid more if he does that, even if the child's not in his custody). What I don't know is whether or not there is anything I can do to get her into DEERS. I seem to be getting so much contradictory info. I have no way to contact him. Please help...

For instance, liberals support abortion and gay rights, and republicans feel every individual should be responsible for their own financial means no matter what the circumstances are, and speak about God while they are making war with other countries. All things that are disagreeable.

I'm from Arkansas and I have a couple of problems with Huckabee.
1. He lost weight now he wants to force everyone around him to be like him.
2. A triplewide moble home was bought for him to live in when the governors mansion was being remodeled.
3. By pressing his Christian morals he has completely forgotten that the US has other religions.
4. Arkansas has a huge immgrant problem
5. Huckabee is not a protector of freedom or rights.
6. Mike Huckabee only thinks about what is right for himself and his god.

His is NOT Bill Clinton.
Please note: i'm not writing a anticampain speech I'm only concerned as a voter and a person who lives in his state. I m also not endorsing anyone either. I am only voicing my thoughts.
