Earlier I posted a question that had to do with Air America's newest group to bash . . . . CHRISTIANS .

Yeah , they have a new show called 'THEOCRACY ALERT' . A show featuring Atheists , and Christian Bashers . Quite frankly , I'm tired of this new-wave attack on Christians . And Air America making it sound like a WARNING / Ala Theocracy ALERT , is quite disgusting as well .

Wouldn't it be better for AMERICA and AMERICANS that the left-wing focus some of that anger on RADICAL ISLAMISTS ?
You know , the ones HELLBENT ON KILLING US ALL .

Just a thought .

I doubt the "progressives" who placed Stalin, in power, didn't expect him to murder millions of people.

Before you jump on Soros and Michael Moore's bandwagon, maybe you should find out where they are taking you before you sign on.

Oh, you don't believe giving up your freedom, allowing the govt to re-distribute wealth, taking from the successful to give to people who don't try, etc will snowball into a dictatorship nightmare? Of course, trust in government will prevent that from happening. Right!

I worked for this contractor a few years ago and the dude still owes me 3 grand. Obviously he hasn't paid me yet. He's screwed over his customers and employees. Do I seek him out and sue his @ss or forget about it?? Anyone else have this happen to them?

So I was mailing off a letter, and I was thinking, "man, there are a billion different stamp designs out there. I could easily take any picture and print it out on a blank sticker and mail it off." Ok, obviously that would be Mail Fraud and therefore a Federal Offence not worth committing, but wondering if the post office really has any way of identifying fake stamps. They don't seem to be encoded with any anti-counterfeit designs.

I'm a conservative who knows that Bush is not conservative.

That being the case, why is it a favorite Liberal arguement to use Bush's spending as an excuse for Hillary's proposed expenditures and endless pandering?

Two wrongs don't make a right, do they?

Mitt Romney is running for President, and it seems like THE issue is that he's LDS (aka a member of The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints).

In recent years there have been Mormons representing California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada,Oklahoma, Michigan, Massachusetts, Oregon, and New Mexico in Washington DC as senators or congressmen. They have also held numerous national positions. They've been liberal and conservative. Republican and Democrat.

So why are people suddenly up in arms about having a Mormon as President? We've had a Jehovah's Witness President....did he screw everything up? Have the Mormons in Washington now screwed everything up?

Mormonism is the 4th largest Christian denomination in the USA.

So.....why get all uppity NOW over a Mormon in DC???

Whenever criticism is leveled at Hillary's promised spending libs cite Bush's spending on the war, saying it is wrong.
Does the war spending make Hillary's promised spending "right"? Or, are libs just ducking a legitimate debate?

Look... if bright lights, loud music and long sleepless nights is torture then most teenagers would be put in jail for what they have done to their parents... I get that... but when autopsies are telling us that a substantial number of people are dying of heart attacks, asphyxiation and blunt force trauma... wouldn't you agree it's time to look into our methods? Also.. one more thought. They admit the methods they use are the very same methods we use on our own soldiers (that volunteer) to prepare them if they are ever caught behind enemy lines.. and they justify it that we use it on our soldiers so it must not be torture... doesn't just the fact that our enemies would use it contradict this? So wouldn't you agree it's worth looking into our methods.. as opposed to just "assuming everything is fine"?

I'd be interested to meet them both just to see what they're like as people, not just heartful conservative supporters. I like their political, economic, and moral ideals they speak of. (Although, I enjoy listening to Limbaugh much more than Hannity, whose show I've practially stopped listening to because he repeats the same talking points over and over.)

Anyway, I would think Limbaugh would actually be nicer than Hannity, believe it or not. I've heard Hannity is a jerk once you get to know him. But, that's just hearsay, and maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you!

A 12 year old 7th grade boy mooned a school bus with 7th & 8th graders onboard as well as the driver. He was suspended for 2 days for sexual harassment as well as indecent exposure! The school considered expulsion, but decided the 2 days off from school was punishment enough.

Is this a just or unjust punishment? Should the student have been expelled from school? Have you ever done it?

You know, like that Visa commerical.

Because, if you set aside healthcare (gosh knows how much that will cost) and just look at her recent proposals of the $5,000 baby benefit and the $1,000 new 401k for everyone, then do the math, you have:

$5,000 (baby benefit) + $1,000 (401K) = $6,000,

then take

$6,000 x $300,000,000 Americans (if that's right for population count)

and get

$1,800,000,000,000 ($1.8 Trillion, if my math is right)

So, the Visa commercial about "what's in your wallet" may be true if Hillary gets her way, because the only thing that will be left in your wallet will be a credit card.

Now, not everyone will have a baby, no doubt, but whatever number will, Hillary's benefits costs are going to have more digits "than a country mile."

Thoughts?

Growing up in America was a life full of blessings and opportunity. As I watch our country fill up with new immigrants I have to wonder if they come here to change America or to join it? I see illegal immigrants carrying the Mexican flag in out streets in protest. I see Indians and Pakistani’s coming here by the millions to make America like their third world countries. We have to give up our traditions to accommodate them and to be politically correct al the time. America is a land of immigrants, but when my fore fathers came here it was to start a new life not to drag the old one to America. The word assimilation has no meaning to these new age immigrants and it is causing a great rift in America. I hate seeing 14 people living in a two bed room apartment. I hate seeing people form other countries taking advantage of our freedoms with out ever having to sacrifice for them. I hate unwanted house guests. I am writing this as message to immigrants. Be proud to be American.

It would appear that when Democrats want to rally their leftwing base, their sure-fire method is to throw them some "red meat" by bashing the troops.

This phenomenon is occuring more and more frequently, and I think it is despicable.

"Tricky" Dick Durbin compares the troops to Nazis, Soviet gulags and Pol Pot:

"Don't Know Jack" Murtha falsely accuses Marines of murder:

Hanoi John Kerry implies the troops are "dumb":

The list goes on and on. This should serve as a reminder to all Americans who's side the Democrats are really on (i.e. not ours!)

I was in an automobile accident, seemed limited with little damage. Yet, the other party have hired a lawyer and my bodily injury liability is 15k/30k per incident. If the other party wants to come after my assets, are there any protected such as 401k, current auto, etc. What is the best way to protect myself? I'll probably get a lawyer soon but thought I'd ask here to get a sense of what I'm up against.
Thanks for any advice from someone who might have been through similar.
