I love the Democrat majority Congress. They started investigating the White House once they won the election in 2006. It is good for the country because of the Checks and Balances. Love it !!!

Is a powerful centralized government and Marxism related to democracy ?

Shouldn’t they be called the “Anti-Democratic “ party ?

Hi. I have an idea for a poem, and I need to incorperate 7 different wars into it. What would you consider the most famous and influencial wars in global history?

I'd appreciate it if the wars spanned throughout history as much as possible (you know, don't make them all a year apart) and that the list uses as many different countries as possible.(please don't just list every American war you can think of)

Thanks! I'll post the poem when I'm all done!

Extremely SEXIST and SICK Feminist quotes
http://www.fathers.bc.ca/feminist_quotes.htm



Hillary is a man hater. She is a typical SEXIST Feminist who refuses to recognize that men can be victims.

Hillary Quote
---------------------------
"Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. " [Ed: Women's grief is more tragic than men's deaths] Hillary Clinton, Feminist - First Ladies' Conference on Domestic Violence in San Salvador, El Salvador on Nov. 17, 1998


Why would any intelligent human being vote for Hillary? Only the sick men-haters would vote for her.

From reading a lot of the misspellings and lack of punctuation on this site (I just read a post that contained the word "imbarress," for God's sake), isn't it clear that not enough Americans know enough about English to actually claim it as our official national language?

This is a tricky one. My husband, who will be 19 before his court date for this citation, was the Designated Driver for three of his (of-age) friends. He drove them to a local club, then headed home. Unbeknownst to him, one of the guys had left an empty cup in the car that apparently had a mixture of Vodka and punch in the front seat. It was, of course, empty at the time and had been thrown in the floorboard of the front passenger seat. An officer pulled my husband because his seatbelt appeared to be just draped over his shoulder. (He was using the friend's car- in which the seatbelt on the driver's side is broken) The officer insisted that he smelled alchohol, searched the car, and found this empty cup. He asked my husband to take a Feild Sobriety test and a breathalyzer (he of course agreed) and, after making him blow three seperate times, finally accepted the fact that my husband had not been drinking. (He doesn't drink- he just DD's for his friends). (see details below)

Every industrialized coutry in the world has free health care for its citizens.
To hear conservatives talk, you'd think the citizens of Israel, Germany, and Canada would be marching in the street demanding the right to buy a policy from Blue Cross Blue Shield for $500 per month.

Pro-Israel lobbyists criticize Bush on Iran
Question response to nuclear program
By Dafna Linzer, Washington Post | December 26, 2005

"
....WASHINGTON -- After years of unwavering support for the Bush administration, the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC has begun to sharply criticize the White House over its handling of Iran's nuclear program.

At issue for AIPAC is Bush's decision last month to hold off on pushing to report Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council. The president and Israel have favored reporting it for the past two years. But with little support from other key US allies, Bush reversed course and endorsed a Russian offer that would allow Iran to conduct some, but not all, the nuclear work it says it needs for an indigenous nuclear energy program...."

The Democratic Party has changed. No question about it. And Im sad to say that it has not changed for the better.

-The Democratic Party used to be a morally strong, intelligent, democracy loving, capitalism loving, free market oriented, pro-American party.

-Today the Democratic Party is the party of cut and run. They want to impose socialism on the American people while claiming to be democratic. They do not support our troops, they hate our military, they think we should have a welfare state, and still others.

The Democrats of yesterday are gone. The monsters that have taken their place are not democrats - but they claim to be - they are something else. It has become clear to most Americans at this point that the "nu-Dems" are really not democrats at all.

The nu-Dems are really the "NSPA" the National Socialist Party of America.

-Beware the NSPA

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see..... our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegal came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop!

"My biggest frustration remained the president's unwillingness to wield his veto against out-of-control spending," Greenspan wrote.

Bush took office in 2001, the last time the government produced a budget surplus. Every year after that, the government has been in the red. In 2004, the deficit swelled to a record $413 billion.

"The Republicans in Congress lost their way," Greenspan wrote. "They swapped principle for power. They ended up with neither. They deserved to lose."

And cons say dems are big spenders???????????

On online discussion boards, whenever someone says Bush is the worst US president ever, one of his very few remaining supporters says something like, "That's what they said about Abraham Lincoln."

Indeed, Lincoln went through a period of unpopularity, however there's a few key differences between him and Bush.

1. Lincoln's foreign policies didn't suck. Lincoln managed to maintain decent relations with other countries, unlike Bush who has turned most of the world against us.

2. Lincoln won his war in four years. Bush's war has passed the four year mark, with no end in sight. Even Bush has stated that the war will go past his presidency.

3. Lincoln tried to avoid his war. He waited until the other side threw the first punch at Ft. Sumter. (I'm referring to Iraq BTW, NOT Afghanistan. )

4. Lincoln made it very clear he disapproved of the fact that he had to go to war, and several great anti-war quotes were made by him. Bush has had nothing but good to say about Iraq.

We Rol
S Polygraph Results & Experts are needed please...?
I took a polygraph for a job, and the job returned 2 weeks later to advise me that my results were "inconclusive" and that I would have to re-take the exam. Well I re-took the exam and I got the same results. I am not sure what this means. I was as truthful as I could be. Why are the examiners unable to make a decision? If I keep yielding the same result, does an agency automatically disqualify you?
