Politics & Government - 23 September 2007

If you're stupid enough to fall for his con man ways, then you need to get help and wake up to reality.

I'm serious.

You see, this isn't about liberals vs. conservatives.

This is about the survival of the U.S.A. as a whole.

And the fact that "Im a Jihad" has declared death to America and Israel doesn't disturb you?

And the fact that he has declared that Israel should be wiped off the map doesn't disturb you?

And the fact that he has denied the Holocaust doesn't disturb you?

And the fact that he funds radical terrorists groups like Hezbollah doesn't disturb you?

And the fact that he is funding/providing terrorists to carry out attacks on our troops in Iraq doesn't disturb you?

There are many more reasons why to not befriend this maniac.

So, let's all come together (liberals and conservatives) to denouce this crazy psycho.

If you don't, then you're an American traitor.

How's that?

Who will denounce him here now?

I will!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

ISTANBUL—Walk down the pedestrian-jammed Istiklal Street in Istanbul's fashionable Beyoglu neighborhood day or night, and you sense the tremendous energy that has been unleashed in Turkey during the past decade. Founded by Italian merchants in Byzantine times, this vibrant district, rising above the northern shore of the Golden Horn, was until recently one of the city's shabbier quarters. But since its conversion into a mostly car-free zone in the late 1990s—one of the many shrewd calls made by the city's then Islamist government—Beyoglu has taken off. The maze of narrow streets branching off the boutique-lined Istiklal buzz with trendy cafes, clubs, and restaurants, while apartments that sell faster than they can be refurbished appreciate at the clip of about 25 percent a year.

If he were alive today, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish republic, would embrace this booming, cosmopolitan neighborhood as the fulfillment of his modernizing dream. And Beyoglu is only contemporary Turkey writ small, a dramatically compressed version of what is happening throughout the rest of the country.

Averaging around a 7 percent GDP growth rate for the past five years, Turkey is flooding the world with exports produced by its "Anatolian Tigers," as the heartland-born (and often religiously conservative) members of the new industrial and commercial elite are called. With inflation and taxes down, and with continuing prosperity expected, what's to complain about?

As it turns out, quite a lot. Grumbling, partisan sniping, and even large public demonstrations have become the order of day ever since Turkey's Supreme Court—nudged by threats of a military coup and a large pro-secularist rally in Istanbul—annulled a parliamentary vote that made the candidate from the religiously tinged Justice and Development Party (AKP) the likely successor to the presidency. Events surrounding the court's May 1 decision have brought to a head tensions that some analysts say had been building for at least a year—tensions that are bound up with modern Turkey's perennial debate over religion, democracy, and secularism.

Mosque and state. At issue, says an assortment of secularly oriented Turks, including the staunchly Kemalist Republican People's Party (CHP), are the efforts of the governing AKP to bring religion into the center of the nation's political and civic life. If unchecked, the critics charge, the AKP would effectively dismantle the mosque-state barriers that Ataturk erected after creating a republic in 1923.

Not surprisingly, AKP leaders object. They deny that they are Islamists or have any designs on creating a religiously governed state. They claim only to be building a clean, open, and vigorously free-market society. If the AKP has an agenda, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan repeatedly says, it is to prepare Turkey for membership in the European Union—and to do so despite recent rebuffs from Germany and France.

This is one domestic squabble that the whole world is watching, and not only because of the large question mark hovering over Turkey's bid to join the EU. The second-largest provider of troops to NATO after the United States, Turkey offers a much needed alternative to Russia as a passageway for pipelines bringing oil and gas from the Middle East and Central Asia to Europe.

I was taking a left when I thought the turn light was yellow but it turned out to be red. There are 4 pictures on my ticket showing: my license plate, my car on the line while the turn light is red, my car in the intersection while the turn light is red, and a picture of my face. THE PROBLEM, hopefully for them and not me, is that the rear view mirror is covering my eyes along with part of my forehead and nose. So basically you can see my mouth, chin and hair (which is dark anyway)

My options are to A pay the $200 fine, B send it back with a copy of my drivers license, C request a hearing, or D attend driving school.

I am eligible for driving school (D) but I would obviously rather send it back (B). I DONT HAVE 200 FOR A BS TICKET

So do you think it will get rejected if I send it back? Also what happens if it does get rejected? Would I still be eligible for driving school?
(sources would be amazing, thanks in advance)

Any idiot (which means the average American is not worthy enough to be an idiot) can figure out the US is lying continuously about Iran. THe US uses words like "is most likely", "is believed to be",etc. which is specifically written for the idiot ( aka the US puiblic). THe problem is that most Americans can barely comprehend what they read and hardly read anyway. In addition Americans are not allowed access to unbiased news...in that "free" country of theirs bringing "freedom" to Iraq via death.
