Why does the GOP bash and smear so many vets who served with honor?

Why does the GOP worship their cowardly leaders who never served and who send others to die for their lies?

The conservative claim that the media is liberally biased comes from the personal political leanings of the people reporting the news, and not from their reports themselves?

I didn't realize until yesterday that people were basing the media's so-called "political bias" on the fact that leading anchorpeople or owners of news outlets donate money to particular political campaigns, and not on what is said while the news is being reported.

That said, does that mean that you guys think that people involved in the media aren't entitled to the same rights as everyone else?

And are you, personally, able to keep your politics out of your workplace?

I am.

In the recent current event, Lawyer Jonathan Edington killed his neighbor Barry James because he thought he molested his 2 year old daughter.

If you knew someone who raped your daughter or even your wife/girlfriend would you kill that person?

to support it. For instance, if the Bible says a big country will invade a small country in the middle east, the first time a big country invades a small country there, you can claim the prophesy came true. But in truth, neither country was named in the prophesy, and noone will ever know which two countries were being referred to.
I think any reasonable man/woman will conclude that prophesies were predicting events that were expected to happen within the next 1 to 100 years. If they happened, they happened thousands of years ago, and they have no applicability to today. Even Jesus predicted events like his second coming that would happen within the lifetime of the people he was talking to. Maybe it happened and went unnoticed, but it certainly won't happen nowadays, unless Jesus was lying or mistaken.
I am sure someone will disagree with me, but that's what the Bible says; and the person disagreeing with me will probably be a person who claims the Bible is true. Unsound??

I'm a hetrosexual woman and I'm not advocating homosexuality but I do respect them as a people because we shuld all be judged on our character and not by our gender, race, and etc. So many homosexuals are treated badly around the world and Jewish people in a sense have their own country which is of course Israel so why can't homosexuals? Will this make everyone happy around the world? I've talked to some homosexuals about this topic and they actually really liked the idea and they even joked that the country's flag would be a rainbow.

"California Assembly Denies In-state Tuition To Military"

"Higher Education Commitee denies Assemblyman Mark Wyland’s request to put guardians of our freedom before illegals

Sacramento - The Assembly Higher Education Committee today rejected a bill (AB 2472) authored by Assemblyman Mark Wyland (R-74) that would have rescinded the law allowing illegal aliens to pay in-state tuition and eliminated the one-year residency rule for reservists and veterans and their dependents needed to qualify for in-state tuition.

In July, I was a victim of an aggravated sexual assault, but have since dropped the charges (I simply cannot speak of it, if the subject even comes up I go mute ... the only place I've even brought it up is here). My husband is now saying that I must've slept with the guy on pupose, nevermind the horrible bruises and egg on the head from being hit with a gun.

He's saying my choices are to restart the case or get out of the house, and since everything is in his name, the law will help him. I have nowhere to go, and I won't leave my little girls. I can't get help from counseling, I've tried numerous times but no one will help me. Will the law indeed back him up on this?

There are several banks that accept la matricula... There are also home loan programs (Wells Fargo) for undocumented. Here is a link with a "flag" system to know if your bank is one that does - or does not- support the undocumented....

I have one thought, though. If I can invest my $ in an off-shore account with my SS#, and, banks are in it to make money, why would they not accept it? This list has WAY MORE big banks that DO accept it than doesn't....

I say we line up our loyalties. I can transfer my money from Schwabe investments, and, tell them it is because they don't offer equal opportunities... But, doesn't that seem like a lot of energy for little return?

Whatever. Here is the link:

Mr. X, head of the opposition party has mysteriously disappeared and has not been seen for 2 weeks. Rumors are swirling that the President has had him arrested and sent to a concentration camp overseas. But the President and his administration have said repeatedly they do not know of Mr. X's whereabouts, and scoff at the idea they would have anyone kidnapped saying "Would we do something that blatantly against the constitution and blatantly illegal?" The american people soon forgot about it and were more concerned about watching american idol. Soon after that a preemptive attack/invasion was made on country Z cause they were believed to be close to having nukes and not liking the USA. Later no nukes were found during the occupation, but hey the adminstration said "Mistakes can be made ..no one is perfect".

By the way, I think this whole business about some closet gay being exposed by the cops is just shameful. I feel sorry for the guy whose only two choices were to openly admit his sexuality and be ostracized for the rest of his life or to hide in the closet until some busybody exposed him. Busybodies really annoy me.
