Read what he had to say for yourself. Does he have the right idea or is this another example of his inexperience?

I was reading this article and I thought:
If someone commits a crime, the repercussions of that crime should reverberate through the rest of their lives. This guy was convicted of rape. He should have thought about the consequences such as not being able to be on school property and what not before he raped that person. The person who was raped has to deal with that for the rest of their lives. Why shouldn't he? Instead of complaining about not being able to participate more as a parent he should reflect more on his crime.

The USA is only a small part of America but seems to have hijacked the name for itself, much to the chagrin of Canada and of the countries to the south. And why does it call 'appropriated' places like Hawaii (which are nowhere near) 'America'?

Your thoughts please?

The only true outage the Demo-nazi's have against Limbaugh was that he dared to expose those two frauds for what they really are; phony soliders and phony patriots. When will they ever learn?

What do you think of these proposals?
Are we going to let the government in our homes telling us what we can and cannot do? Isn't the government just going to far with controlling us in our own homes?
How far will it the governemt go, and can we let it happen?

I have been a pipefitter in the oil and gas construction business for 22 years in Texas. I was making a good salary at about $45,000 year.

Last week, they let some of us go on a job we were doing in western Texas.

This week, they hired several mexican nationals to do the jobs we had been doing. They are working for about 25 to 30% less than we were.

No what am I supposed to do? I was born and raised in this country and still have two kids in high school. All of my wages stayed in our economy. I'm pretty sure a lot of the money I used to earn will now leave the country.

I'm going to tell my story to the news. I'll find another job, but this is not a good sign for Texas. Immigration is killing us.

Stalin and Mao weren't REAL Communbists. REAL Communists only do good, they don't massacre their own people!

Communism was practiced by the original Christians. Christians today should adhere to "that old time religion" and support Communism. Those who own the productive assets of society should be expected, as their religious duty, to give up all their holdings. Like Jesus recommended. These would be owned in common by everyone. Only this will bring in the Kingdom on Earth.

Futile efforts at 5exual repression have been tried for centuries-- THAT won't work. Time to really give Communism a try. It's the Christian thing to do!

But, Clear Channel defended Rush, since the accusations were lies. Clear Channel said Rush has a long history of supporting the troops.

Does anyone have a problem with a "war tax" to pay for our Iraq invasion and occupation? Shouldn't we be paying for it now rather than running up a debt? If supporters of this occupation had to pay for it out of their pockets now, would they feel different about it? There is only a small percentage of our population that is sacrificing now (our military members and their families).

I find her $5000 per baby savings plan utterly disgusting.

It will cost the government nothing during her reign as queen, because they're just promissory notes that will come payable 18 years later. So it'll be some other president's problem.

But that puts it directly in line with the timeframe where the baby boomers have decimated social security and it is on the verge of bankrupcy. And suddenly, on top of that, there will be this huge obligation to all these children who have turned 18 and want their money too.

Which means, after the baby boomers got their share (of course), social security benefits will have to be minimized or eliminated altogether. Which means, screw our generation, they got theirs.

I am getting tired of politicians who write checks that will be payable by someone else.

How about making those $5000 bonds paid for immediately by taxing baby boomers to pay for it NOW? They're here to save the world, so why not? They should be thrilled.

No?

I went to court a year ago and served a month of house arrest and was ordered to finish an outpatient program. I just finished the program, clean, but just looked at my court papers and noticed I was supposed to check in with probation every three months, not only when I've finished. I also havn't paid my court fees of a hundered bucks or so. Should I just check in with them? What if there's a warrant out?

Bear in mind, 250 have already returned home so deduct that number from 1000....

Also bear in mind, pre-planned troop rotation... and count the days until you see/hear GB standing up and saying "we're sending more troops to AFGHANISTAN (the REAL SOURCE of this recent terror conflict).. and the 'praise' being heaped on him....

Play on words?... OR... Gordon Brown playing the usual political game with our lives on the line...?

Rush lied in accusing and then defending his "phony soldier" statment. He accused Brian McGough of being a phony solder. Rush needs the Imus treatment.

it's just typical republican hating of our soldiers. They defend the *need* for Blackwater by saying our solderis are "not good enough".

republicans have dishonored America and our brave soldiers. This disgusts me.

How can you call a veteran a "fake soldier"? the victim has a purple heart. I don't care if this soldier has a I.Q. of 1, anybody brave enough to take a bullet for Me is a hero. I'm a U.S. Army Veteran, and that Rush Limbaugh ad just pissed me off this morning.

Why are the illegals and mexicans allowed to loiter on OUR street corners. There is a law against loitering and in every city and town in this country there is a street corner where mexicans and illegal immigrants are found loitering. The police aren't doing anything about it. WHY NOT?!!!!

I have to use these routes everyday and it makes me UNCOMFORTABLE to go into these areas when these people, who are clearly breaking the law in more ways than one, are out there loitering. So what if they want a better life!!!! I want a better life too. But I aint breaking the law to get it!!!!

Why are they getting away with beaking the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
