Because apparently, that's where Bush gets all his ideas. God told him to be President, God told him to go to war, God is his shoulder to cry on. So, why do we trust this man?

how we can see the same information, the same words from the same people and come away with completely different conclusions? For example, the second amendment...cons would say it protects the right of individuals to keep and bare arms, while I read it and say it protects the right of a state (like NY or NC) citizen militia to arm it self....against the feds...a bit archaic, now. I hear Bush and all hear are lies and deception while cons hear him and think he's truthful and great.

I am currently in Law School and when i graduate I was looking to do some Government Work. I am looking into the FBI Special Agent Attorney route, but the JAG career track has caught my eye, but the problem is finding any information.

I know Judge Advocates must go through basic training, but what i would like to know is if they must also serve in combat?

What i mean is....

After training do Judge Advocates go right into practicing law? or must they server in Iraq etc?

If anyone knows the answer to the question please reply, also if you have any other information about the JAG career track please post it here...thanks

I do not know these two personally, but disagree with them on ISSUES.
I feel they would BOTH raise taxes, they BOTH would appoint Supreme Court Justices with views different than my view for America , and they BOTH want socialized medicine.
Do these disagreements make me a racist, sexist, homophobe, or all of the above??
Thank You.

I got this email:
SOCIAL SECURITY:
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan. In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.For all practical purposes their plan works like this:When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000 with their wives drawing $275, 000 during the last years of their lives.This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.They pay$0 for this plan. OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK. Meanwhile the average person SS is $1000 mo.

Working towards joining. I'm 21 and married. No kids.

Just curious, I've been hearing and heard stories from veterans that retirement pay isn't that great and these days don't hardly even cover normal living expenses. I'm sure rank and such would make it all vary but I'm mainly looking for someone who is already retired, weather you have been for a while or just recently. Is the retirement a descent living check or do you have to look forward to getting a civilian job after you retire from service to afford to live?

After basic 20 year service

Have you ever been convicted of a crime other than a traffic violation?
(Note: Please exclude misdemeanor convictions for marijuana-related offenses more than two years old; any misdemeanor conviction more than 5 years old; convictions that have been sealed, expunged, or legally eradicated; and misdemeanor convictions for which probation was successfully completed or otherwise discharged and the case was judicially dismissed. A conviction is not an automatic bar to employment. Each case will be considered on its own merits.)

Someone who was a virtual unknown outside hardcore politics might have the capacity ability to destroy the entire earth as soon as Jan 2009. Isn't this a scary thought?

"We support our troops, just not what theyre doing".

Why would they burn an effigy of a soldier in Portland, OR on March 17, 2007? (Not to mention flags.)

Thanks liberals but I think we can do without that support.

I was resently let go from my position. I was accused of things that didn't happen but being that the report came from a female. I had no recourse. The MN lawyers say that it doesn't matter what I say or did the law protects the employer and women.

Besides an American liberal??? (Either personally or reported on the news.)

Is this legal to do in other parts of the world?

Who else would want to burn their home flag?

My neighbor just did this for a guy and I'm curious if there's any way for the ATF to find out about the sale. The gun was obviously not in the felon's name. It was a 100 year old rifle and very collectable. Is this a potential ATF problem for my neighbor...or is everyone in the clear?

The Left thinks Iraq is a killing field for Americans. Actually, it is a killing field for our enemies, at a very great but vitally important sacrifice. That reflects a grand strategy, tailored to the peculiar nature of the global terror threat. You don't shoot poisonous fire-ants with a BB gun; you just set an ant trap. Ant colonies are highly "distributed" biological societies, much like the world-wide web. They can't be killed with a BB or a pressure hose; even pouring flaming gasoline on an ant hill won't work. Instead, you destroy ant colonies by attracting hungry ants to a chemical bait, and then kill them all in one small place. Ant traps work. That's the Bush strategy in Iraq. Al Qaeda isn't centralized, with big cities or steel industries like Nazi Germany. So you can't destroy the enemy by hunting them one by one. Rather, you bait a trap -- provoke them to come to you, and make sure they don't get out alive.
Iraq is a trap for Al Qaeda.
