Whatever your political affiliation , if you're observant and have the ability to think logically , then you should know by now that if Iran doesn't capitulate , we will hit them .
If you found yourself disagreeing already , then please move on to another question . We will hit Iran if they don't comply , and it will come during this administration .

Now the following is conjecture , but pretty logical conjecture and worth taking the time to think about and plan for . If / When we hit Iran , I think it's pretty safe to assume that they , Iran and their Terrorist minions will hit us in our own homeland . Yet I see nobody on these boards discussing what we'll do TOGETHER to help our neighbors should an attack befall our own city .
I like arguing with the libs out there , but there's also the matter of patriotism , helping a neighbor , a fellow countryman regardless of politics .

What Can You Do To Get People Thinking And 'Seeing' What May Be The Inevitable ?

"SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Costa Ricans on Sunday appeared to narrowly vote in favor of joining the Central American Free Trade Agreement with the U.S., and President Oscar Arias declared victory for the pact. But with results so far contradicting most earlier polls, the opposition balked at conceding before a manual recount. "

Strange how all the recent elections across the globe have been going to the fascists....even though public opinion polls say they should not.

Recently I was walking out of my on campus apartment to meet some friends in their doorm room. As I left I saw some of my other friends hang out out side their apartment. I went over to say hi. no one had beer in their hand but a couple of them had backpacks on with it in them. i talked to them for about 10 min when undercover cops showed up and made all of us take a breathalizer. I blew a .00 because i had not been drinking but the cops felt the need to get the school involved and I got written up for drinking. My school is a dry campus and you get written up and fined even if you weren't drinking but you can apeal it with the school. this is what i plan to do because I wasn't even at the pary just the wrong place at the wrong time. Will they let me off the hook do you think.

400,000 illegals get in every year, you can't just deport them all because businesses will go bankrupt and eventually they will unite and want rights.

In 10-15 years there will be more illegals in the US than Canadians in Canada.

I wonder how many illegals are having kids which become legal.

The Hell's Angels were hired as security for this event and a few deaths had occured. A young black teen was stabbed in supposed self-defense and the Hell's Angel member was acquited from the murder. A short while later his body was found in a resevoir. Who do you think was responsible for that?

Global warming is affecting our environment. This is a worldwide problem. Some argue that a tax on carbon, the main greenhouse gas, would be the most effective measure, and that it should be taken at the level of the EU to be effective. Others argue that this will damage our industries' competitiveness and that national governments should see what's best suited to their national economy.

What do you think?

Nearly 1 in 5 Democrats Say World Will Be Better Off if U.S. Loses War

Get the PDF of the poll. This is one of the questions:
"Do you personally think the world would be better off if the United States loses the war in Iraq?"

A full 39% of Democrats either say YES or DON'T KNOW.
If you look at the PDF it is 19% yes and 20% don't know.
Personally, I would count a "don't know" as a yes; "don't know" is just as sick and troubling as a yes.

So WHEN can we call you traitors? Not yet? Do we have to wait until it's 45% maybe 60%?

Truly a party in moral decline.

Fair Warning: Saying such things as "A FOX news poll??? Blah, blah, blah" marks you as a zombiefied political hack that is incapable of seeing the sickness that is right in front of your very eyes.

Do you care to know the truth about the President's veto of the Child Health Insurance Bill?

The president has repeated time and time again that he supports the $5 billion expansion of the program and has offered to sit down and negotiate the provisions of the bill.

Congress still pushed the bill through EVEN AFTER being told that some provisions they included were unacceptable.

So why then would they waste the time and money to push a bill through when they KNEW it would get vetoed?

That's right! They wanted to make sure that a bill dealing with an important issue like Children's Healthcare would get vetoed so that they could all get together, give high-fives, slap each-other's butts and make commercials about how evil Republicans are because they want to deny healthcare for children.

This is misuse of time and money, as a well as a clear abuse of power in order to wage political and media warfare on the president and the Republican party.

THE TRUTH...

I want my protagonist to have a gun that is stronger than the standard issue pieces given out to cops (9mm glocks?). I first wrote that he had a .45 Desert Eagle(cuz it's f*ckin' sweet), but then that he had a S&W Model 29 double action .44 Magnum Revolver with an 8 and two thirds inch barrel. This novel takes place in the late 70's early eighties. So could you tell me what kind of gun, model, would be appropiate and what were the standard issue guns back then. Thank you very much.

Question Details:
How can you or can you start a union at a bank?

Bank of America has grown way too large, and the people who work there are treated so poorly. Hispanics, Black and White it doesn’t matter what race you are, you can stand outside of there corporate centers and ask the employees what they think and they’ll tell you a Union is needed desperately.

They had a hiring fair, and hired around 200 people from the hiring fair. Then before the 90 days was up, they let those 200 people go.

Bank of America needs a UNION, help?
