and the craziest part of that is that it was carries by stealth bombers, which only the US has, and that a small nuclear device was dropped on Syria.
Do you think it's a crazy rumor

Me as a brazilian living in America illegally for 19 years i've decided its impossible to grow with the country, find a job, get a driver's license and things. How is the Brazilian community and the foreign born population treated in Canada? Feel free to share your experiences on immigrating and living there.

I'm having trouble figuring out what makes Limbaugh an authority to be listened to regarding politics and national security. I could understand if he had worked as a soldier in the U.S. Army, or if he had held a political office, or if he at least had an advanced education in political science and national security. But the only thing I know he's done is worked in radio. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between Rush Limbaugh and any other average joe from off the street, as far as discussing important political policy is concerned? Why do people listen to him and believe him? Are there really that many suggestible people in the world?

I hear this over and over. "We are in Iraq to protect our freedom" The only reason war is ever justified is we are directly attact by another country and I don't recall Iraq attacking us.

The news this morning says that British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, would not be calling for elections at this time. That doesn't make sense to me. Do British PM's decide when is a good time to call for an election that might put them out of office? And if so, why would they ever do that if they could not call for elections and just stay in office?

Like:
1. Limbaugh. He is not only a sincere conservative, but he is articulate, thorough, polite to his callers, and intellectually stimulating. I agree with MOST of what he says, and I always respect what he has to say.
2. Scarborough: He gives me the factual "fuel" I need to carry on a discussion or debate about political matters with liberals and conservatives alike. Some conservatives think he's a hack who has switched bases; I think he speaks his heart and still believes in the fundamentals of social and economic conservatism.

Okay:
1. Hannity: I used to like him, but anymore, he just repeats the same defense of Mitt or Rudy or the same arguments against Hillary or Obama 3,000,000 times a show. This stuff IS important, I'll grant, but try highlighting some of the positives in the current conservative movement. His interview style can be rude.

Don't like:
1. Savage. He's a jerk.
2. Ingraham: That Connecticut accent of hers almost nauseates this Southerner.

Or will we simply have the lowest voter turnout in history, as cynical Americans turn away from a "democratic process" that gives us a "choice" between two largely-identical candidates.

WASHINGTON - To put it bluntly, Texas wants President Bush to get out of the way of the state's plan to execute a Mexican for the brutal killing of two teenage girls.

ADVERTISEMENT

Bush, who presided over 152 executions as governor of Texas, wants to halt the execution of Jose Ernesto Medellin in what has become a confusing test of presidential power that the Supreme Court, which hears the case this week, ultimately will sort out.

The president wants to enforce a decision by the International Court of Justice that found the convictions of Medellin and 50 other Mexican-born prisoners violated their rights to legal help as outlined in the 1963 Vienna Convention.

That is the same court Bush has since said he plans to ignore if it makes similar decisions affecting state criminal laws.

Someone suggested I ask this under this category-
We were friends
He got married
They got seperated & moved into seperate apartments
We started dating. (he was dating another girl too)
He moved out of state to come live with me & my daughter.
This past year he and I had a daughter together
His divorce was never finalized & now she wants to.
I came across an email they had written to each other.
She needed to know our daughters date of birth and full name to file the paperwork.
So he emailed her back the info.

1. Why did she need that info?
2. If she is using it to file for divorce on the grounds he had an affair with me- what are the repercussions?
3. Is there anything I can do? They were seperated and living apart for a year before we even started dating- and then we dated over a year before our daughter was born.
4. They never had any children together
5. He dated other girls while they were seperated, not just me
6. She lives in Minnesota, him and I live in Michigan.

I just viewed a news video of a police officer punching a girl he was arresting after she tried to BITE him. Allegation-Police Brutality.
Next, the "Jena 6" 6 black men beat a white in front of dozens of witness arrested and charged with attempted murder--Are the charges Racism?
Now Obama says too many blacks going to prison. Is he proposing a quota system on prison sentences? Is it racism for a black to go to jail after being convicted of a crime?
So, what about responsibility--It is NOT racism if you are sent to prison for a crime you committed. It is NOT police brutality, if you assault someone and they fight back. GET A CLUE! Criminal conduct should be punished. Because you are a minority does NOT give you the right to commit crime nor assault another. Or am I missing something? You do the crime, do the time. Don't try to hurt another, they might hit you!
It is NOT racism to arrest Illegal Aliens--READ IT--ILLEGAL aliens--they violated the law.

Political Liberalism is not Philosophical Liberalism.
The latter is true Liberalism (which everybody seems to ignore, even liberals). It's based on a few key ideas, mainly accepting personal error and being open minded.

It has nothing to do with socialism or taxes. Nothing. Political liberals may be for socialism, but that's not because of the theory behind Liberalism. And yet somebody will still get it wrong here.

So why? What's the justification?
