The Terrorists have hit London, Spain, Bali and others but because of George W. Bush's policies;

Wire Taps
Patriot Act
Cuba Prison Camps
Fighting them over there....so we don't have to fight them over here.

The terrorists have not been able to strike America on her own soil.

Thanks GWB!

High school drop-outs, please note: this is not an opinion poll or multiple choice test. Adults are required to state a reason for their opinion. Grow up!

(1) The Kurds have about 20 % of the population of Iraq and about 20% of all the oil. All they want is their independence. They will attack nobody. With our troops on their borders, Turkey and Iran would not dare to attack Kurdistan.

(2) The Shi'ites have over 60 % of the population and about 80% of all the oil. They control the government and the army and the national police. We have been arming and trainig them for several years. They are being secretly helped by Iran. Through their militias, they are pushing the Sunnis out of the Baghdad region in spite of our efforts to stop them.

(3) The Sunnis have less than 20% of the population and none of the oil. From 1924 to 2003, they had all the guns and all the oil and kept the Kurds and the Shi'ites in poverty.

I have several friends that are "one issue" voters. They are pro-life and refuse to vote for anyone that is not also pro-life.

So...they vote for these folks that claim to be pro-life and then they get into office and do not do a single thing about it (which, of course, makes me happy!). These candidates shout about being pro-life during the elections, gain the support of the religious right, and then do NOTHING about it once they get in office........(Except, of course giving tax breaks to their wealthy pals while abandoning the "salt of the earth" folks that they preyed on with their lies about taking pro-life actions.)

And they do this over and over and over again.....and the pro-life voters never wise up to the fact that they are being used.....

How come?

"They (the Jews) work more effectively against us, than the enemy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in . . . It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pest to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America."

"A day that will live in infamy..."

What a historic speech that was, after the Japense attacked Pearl harbor. Everyone knew exactly what was meant by "remember Pearl harbor".

However, what the heck do Americans mean when they say "never forget" during the anniversary of 911? I must admitt, when I hear people blabbering this hollow expression, followed by silence and confusion, it just drives me nuts.

At least the "great generation" was willing to face the enemy and call the enemy "the enemy". In America, we cant even do that...we just say "never forget" and pretend like someone knows what the heck that means or what specifically we are supposed to be remembering.

Almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic, this is not rocket science...its very plain to see who and what the enemy is, yet we just dont have the courage to speak it.

We are weak weak weak weak......

A point often lost in the debate over border security and illegal immigration is that many of the laws necessary to fix the problem are already on the books, but federal authorities have decided for political reasons not to enforce them.

Today, there are approximately 15,000 employees in the entire Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, the primary agency responsible for finding and detaining millions of persons here illegally. There are, by comparison, approximately 700,000 state and local law enforcement officials, but in urban centers like New York and San Francisco they are barred from cooperating with federal law enforcement authorities.

This problem must be fixed before putting out the welcome mat for tens of millions of people who first broke the law to enter the country and continue to break our laws by staying here illegally.

We seem to already be on the road to becoming another Zimbabwe....

The President wants to stay in office. The Minister of Health has been proven to be a thief, alcoholic, liar, incompetant, etc., yet is defended by the government & will not be fired. The former deputy-president sexually assaulted a woman & then took a shower to eliminate the risk of getting AIDS. Corruption is rife, with ministers stealing money to go on holidays. The leader of the Opposition Party has been arrested on a BS excuse. A Member of Parliament thrown out because he asked an open question.

Need I say more??? I will appreciate everyone's opinions.

I mean punishment that the law would take on towards the teen parents, such as maybe jail time or volunteer work or SOMETHING. Its not fair that adult and married parents work their ***es off to provide for their kids while these irresponsible teen parents don't work and have kids. Seriousely some people actually have taxes to pay towards things other than inconsiderate teen parents.

Why is Israel referred to as as a state -- even though they seem to meet all the requirements of a country? They have a flag, UN representation, Olympics. Is it symantics to keep Arab nations happy?

In china for a second child a family has to pay the local government up to $10,000 dollars. For a third child up to $50,000 dollars. This has led to only families that can afford to properly care for the children to have them. Of course there are exceptions.
In the U.S. we give more money to families with more kids either through taxc breaks or spending money on healthcare and schooling. This has left the taxpayers with less children to pay for the families who want more.

Which is better for the economy, and which system do you think is better overall.

(not voting on which country is better)

Not to say we are "Better" than other countries, but what would the world look like without us?

my oppinion: The US is the Greatest country this world has seen. We are the light of the world and the defender of freedom and liberty. We aren't perfect but the good things about us outweigh our faults.

Seeing as the plans for invading Iraq was in the works BEFORE 911, why would the create this plans, knowing the American people and Congress would not approve of it. They would need something to happen that was so catastrophic to scare Americans into rubber stamping anyhthing they wanted to do. Why would PNAC plan for expansion into the middle east without knowing if they would be able execute their plan?? Would you invest all that time and money into something you couldn't do? HEY what are the chances, complete intellegence failure and 911. Call me a kook, but I've got two eyes, two ears and a brain I'm not going to be played for a fool.

I just got a call from a friend with a problem; I had no idea how to help her. She has been staying at Motel 6 for the past 3 months. She went there to hide from her husband whom beat her. She just called me this is what happened Friday: She went to the office to pay her weekly rent that comes to 359.98. The front desk clerk gave her 2 cents change back. Apparently he pocketed her rent money. He’s a new guy brother to another desk clerk who’s on parole for armed robbery. The manager called her and asked her if she was going to pay or leave she said she HAS paid. She went right to the office to confront the clerk with the manager. The clerk said she did pay. She left, he told the manager that after she paid he put the money on the counter she picked it up & walked out with it. Why is he saying this Tue? She told the mngr. She was going to call the police, the mngr told her that he wouldnt do that if he was her. Now they want her to pay again or leave, what should she do?

1. Pro-life except in the case of danger to the mother.
2. Support of same-sex marriages.
3. Against the death penalty.
4. For the closely monitored use of medical marijuana, but not for legalizing it otherwise.
5. On immigration: providing a way for illegal immigrants who are found to be productive in society and clearly are not terrorists to achieve citizenship. And to allow an increase in immigrants who are trying to escape from terrible conditions. But of course, all this must be done without increasing the chances of allowing terrorists to enter.
6. For the Patriot Act.

I'm an US Army veteran who served in Afghanistan in 2005, and I listened to General Petraeus's report yesterday, and I believe that he was telling the truth (for the most part). However, there's this other part of me that keeps telling me that the White House influenced his report. The Bush Administration has allocated a lot of money to the US Military. So, I'm pretty sure that the White House had some influence on how the General wrote his report.

One of the Army Values is Integrity. However, when I was in the service, I've seen that value violated quite a few times. So, do you think General Petraeus's report was telling the "whole truth" or only a "part-truth"?

*BTW, in my unit, General Petraeus's haircut would've been considered a violation of Army regulations.

The Democrats and Osama bin laden are talking the same game. Surrender and now they are attacking our military even more then before. They call our guys and gal’s serving, "baby killers" when it is the Democrats and the drive by media are the baby killers.
Glenn Beck has a run on TV this week called “the perfect day” What this is about is the untold story that the left will not tell you about the Muslim planed attacks on our children and schools, like the Russian school attack with rape and torture.
When this happens I say we go strait for the traitors on the left! And send Islam to helll with a big pork belly bomb.
