Hi, I just joined the US Army, and am waiting to ship off to OSUT then airborne school (I'm 11B). I'm also going in as an E-3 (schooling).

I was wondering after I'm done with my schools/training, and I get my duty station (assuming I'm not in Iraq/Afghanistan) if she'll be able to live with me on base?

Why don't the democrats just go to jails, slums, unemployment lines, and crack houses and just give them their money directly. Those of us who don't want to pay people to take drugs and not work won't have to. And those who do will be able to cut out a middle man. Isn't the US about choice?

When taxes go up, revenue goes down. When there is not enough money to FULLY fund the government health care taxes were raise for there will have to be rationing. Who gets to live and who gets to die and who decides, or do we just raise taxes again?

The ones that think that since they worship the flag and blindly follow the president that they have the right to the flag and the country??? who else is tired of them thinking that patriotisum belongs to them??? I am a liberal and i am very patriotic so why do they think im a flag burning terrorist because i question our government????? Do they not realize that our Founding fathers were liberals??? they wanted to break away from england so they could have freedom to practice whatever religion they wanted to and also so they could have a government not controled by the church and so they could say whatever they wanted??? The flag and the country both belong to everyone black, white, brown, yellow, muslim, jewish, christian, buddist, republican, democrat, liberal, conservatie, and everyone in between!!!!

My govenor is an idiot, and she can't fix up this state at all. She says all the problems are because of of the president, but our state is in economic hell. If we don't get her tryed for the amount of damage she has done to our state, we may all have to leave. I'm not sure if we should impeach her, but alot of people want to do that to the president, and shes doing a far worse job then he has. I'm just sick of her, and I don't want her ruining my future, just cause incompetant people voted in this incompetent idiot. Please help.

Universal Healthcare is on the agenda for this next election. However for several years republican and democrats have been trying to come up with a way to pay for healthcare.

At one point it was proposed that all health insurance costs could be written off on your income tax. Thus making it a tax deduction. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and a majority of democrats are against this method?

However they are all for tax deductions for buying a hybrid car. Isn't this a better alternative than trying to implement a system that is not the best method for healthcare?

A Liberal asked this question, but I don't think he will like the truth, or the answer....(I am not mentioning names, lol.)

Will Republicans be apologizing for Jose Padilla for several decades to come?
The illegal imprisonment, torture, and forced mental breakdown of this US citizen - who is, of course, entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence - ranks up there with the mass internment of Japanese-Americans as an inexplicable violation of our most basic civil rights.

Historians will be shaking their heads. Future Presidents will apologize, and people will say "if only we could have stopped it". "If only we had known". We DO know and we CAN stop it.
But for some reason we choose not to.
chance_m_20, welcome to America. In this country, we don't find people innocent. You ARE innocent, until we find you guilty!

My answer...





No. There is no reason to.

3 days later..... PADILLA FOUND GUILTY OF FEDERAL TERRORISM SUPPORT CHARGES!

Will the Liberals appoligize to Republicans for being s.t.u.p.i.d?

Yes I just posted a similar question to this and I am posting something else on it because this issue needs to be discussed.

This is serious. Bush and all those other amnesty-supporting nuts have been awfully quiet after the heinous, brutal murders of those three young adults at the hands of illegal immigrants who also happened have criminal rap sheets that included violence and rape.

Why is it that these illegal immigrant criminals were arrested and yet freed on bail in a country that they had no busy being in anyway? Because Newark, NJ is a SANCTUARY CITY and law enforcement is not allowed to enquire from anyone their immigration status.

DISGUSTING! I believe Mitt Romney threw the idea out that we should not give federal money to those cities who welcome illegal immigrants. I thought that that was a bit harsh (and I hate illegal immigration), but now I am beginning to believe that that is an excellent idea!

Just read where Jenna Bush (one of Bush's twin daughters) has announced her engagement. Is this a final plot by Karl Rove to get a boost to Bush's popularity?
