Instead we have shown remarkable restraint.

Shouldn't "the world" be a little more respectful and grateful for our tolerance of their backstabbing?

What do you think? Fair? Also, each side only gets to benefit from their projects...republicans get all the benefits of the Iraq war (ALL OF THEM!) and democrats get all the benefits from their social programs. Agreed?

They were so confident that they were telling the truth that they had elected to remain UNINCORPORATED and take the risk of being perhaps the only 527 in which its members were willing to accept PERSONAL liability for their actions, unlike MoveOn which had compared Bush to Hitler and called an American General in wartime a traitor. The Swiftvets were very brave or stupid not to incorporate and protect themselves from legal action; OR they were truthful.

In fact, Senator Kerry has let the last statute of limitations for defamation to lapse, forever barring any defamation claim against SwiftVet authors O'Neill and Corsi.

"The very last thing John Kerry wants is to ever give the SwiftVets the legal tools they'd need to conclusively document their claims, because truth is, of course, a complete defense to defamation claims."

Cavuto praised Greenspan for years and suddenly dislikes him for making a point about Bush. Why are neo-cons this way?

I'm curious if anyone can provide a link to a formal police sort of "rule book", if you will, that we can check to see if the cops involved in this incident were just following their training or were out of line. (i think they were probably out of line, but I want to know if there's an official source (not just ppls opinion) that says what police officers "should" do in such a situation.)

If you are a cop, please feel free to answer to.

Thanks everyone!!!

Are you consistent that the swift boat attacks (which were a bunch of lies, even President Bush came out and said that Kerry's service was honorable and his medals deserved) and agree that wether its move on dot org or swift boat these kinds of attacks are a disgrace to all of us

shouldn't we then assume they are guilty when they are arrested?

I mean Michael Vick indicated it is part of his culture to have dog fights which he knows is a crime. Issah Thomas indicated it is part of the black culture for a black man to call a black woman a "female dog", but he would take offense to the same thing being said by a white male.

I tend to agree with people like Charles Barkley, Clarence Thomas, and Bill Cosby, at times.

What do you think about such black culture standards?

to funnel through a bureaucratic system and give, six months later, 25 cents on the dollar to some guy who lost his job in the widget factory........

I would have spent on a widget, invested in the widget company, or at least deposited in the bank that provides the widget company a line of credit, and the widget factory would not only have cut back the second shift but started a third?

We've had this debate, we've tried it both ways, and the results are clear - - - when we do it their way we get double digit unemployment AND inflation, and when we do it our way we get low unemployment and low inflation even at the peak of the interest rate cycle.

Are people better off with a meagre handout in a poor economy or a job in a strong one?

You can't have it both ways.

I was in a business with someone else she agreed to buy my 50% of the business. A week before we settled the sale she told me to get the hell out of the business and that it was my problem because I wanted out of the business. She had made a verbal agreement and also we had dicuss a price at one of our corporate meetings. We are now going to court and I want to know if I can use this corporate paper as evidence in the trial.

There's been a huge discussion this year about fixing the "bear problem" in the west. Seems the bears are not finding any food or water in the mountains and now they're coming into town looking for alternative sources. Some folks wanted to give food drops to help these animals out. But, wildlife experts say to let nature take it's course.

That got me to thinking. Shouldn't we do the same for the left. Why give them free health care, free housing, food stamps, WIC, welfare, etc...why not let nature take it's course? This will solve 99% of the social program issues we have in this country. I think the 08 slogan for the right should be "Let nature take it's course, vote Republican".

I do. I don't support this war, but to insult a U.S. generals is idiotic.

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
Asked about last week's ad from the liberal group MoveOn.org Political Action that referred to Gen. David Petraeus as "General Betray Us," Bush was harsh about both MoveOn and Democratic leaders.

The ad, he said, "was disgusting. It was an attack not only on Gen. Petraeus but on the U.S. military. ... I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democratic Party spoke out more strongly against that kind of ad." The president's conclusion: "Most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group -- or are more afraid of irritating them -- then they are of irritating the U.S. military. That was a sorry deal. ... It's one thing to attack me, but another to attack somebody like Gen. Petraeus."

I bought something on ebay for probably half of what it's worth. I already paid for it. The seller isn't talking to me and they were before. I'm wondering are they obligated by law to give me the item or its real market value or just return my money? Of course I'm hoping for the item or market value.

I went and spoke to a lawayer about my DUI case yesterday and he asked me if i had a copy of my breathalyzer results, I said no and he told me that they should have provided me with a copy. Its a time issue on how long they took to test me and the breathalyzer supposedly keeps a record and he says i should have gotten this. It was a lawyer that told me this but i am still curious because i have never heard of this..I am new to the whole thing. Also, i called about getting a copy of my arrest report and they told me i could not have one today, I would have to wait until next week. Should i not be able to obtain my own arrest report on any day during the week, this sounded questionable to me but I am no law expert by any means.....any reasonable answers are welcome and will be helpfull......hopefully. Thanks in advance.

Some form of healthcare is probably inevitable . Whenever it does happen , let's just hope that it's done right.... . although I'm not holding my breath with the government in charge of it .

But funding must be withheld from Sanctuary Cities . So why not put that money aside for future healthcare costs ?

Snacks and water stations for protesters of the Jena 6. Al Sharpton calls for a civil rights protest of an arrest of 6 black males, some of which had previous arrests for assault. When they are prosecuted for the 6 beating 1 white high school student to the ground and then stomping his head.

I've been giving to the Red Cross for many years through an automatic payroll deduction from my retired pay check through combined federal campaign (CFC)

Never in my many years would have thought that the American Red Cross supplies Al Sharpton's protesters with support. Al Sharpton is a fake. I'm not even sure he is a minister as he claims to be. Should the Red Cross be supporting his anti white agenda with donation dollars. I don't think so... What do you think?
