Isn't the New World Order too much like Babylon? Why aren't Christians up in arms about it? Why do Christians support people who are part of the Council of Foreign Relations who are part of creating the NWO and North American Union...(Which by the way includes ALL of the current Presidential Candidates EXCEPT Ron Paul!)

I am not sure which category to put this in, so I am just guessing.

Toll roads in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana are owned by foreign companies. A deal is being completed right now with an Australian company to manage a series of toll roads in Virginia.

While these toll roads are managed by foreign companies, the American tax payer will still foot the bill for building them. The foreign companies will collect any profits from the tolls.

In a country where American jobs are getting scarcer, it seems that these deals will make the situation even worse. In Virginia, Australia will manage 70 miles of "high occupancy" toll roads along the Capitol Beltway.

Many Americans do not realize that much of our infrastructure is being turned over to foreign management, including our ports, airlines, and roads. Should there be more publicity connected to these deals? Should foreign countries be allowed to buy into our public infrastructure or should laws be passed to prevent these arrangements that take the profits from our own people?

If people's sexual preference is not a big deal, why do some call people that come out "brave", or "heroic?
And why is there the need to specualte about a person's sexuality? This person is gay, this person "may" be gay? If NOBODY cares, then why is this even an issue?

My friend was hired a month ago and with all the benefit information, they forgot to include the employee handbook. Last week the h.r. assistant came to her to sign a document stating she received and looked over the handbook. She throught nothing of it, since she loved the job. The following Monday morning she was told she was being let go, due to budget cuts. This was a huge shock and disappointment. Does really matter if she never read the handbook?

...Liberal, as in radical I suppose....but what do yesterday`s liberals think of today`s "fascio-liberal" crowd, led by Hillary Clinton ? How in the world can any American feel comfortable with our government (liberal Dems in Washington) telling us, as Americans, that speaking our minds can mean being monitored my the U.S. government and/or squelched out or crushed by them ? What do you think ?

I'm sixteen years old, currently still living at my parents' house, but I can't stand it. We fight all the time about the stupidest things. I already have someone who's promised me a home where I know things would be much better off. I know it's only two more years, but I just don't think I can take it any longer. What can I do?

With all this talk about how the Iranian president wanting Israel to be dissolved. Also with the both Propaganda ministries in the US and Israel trying hard as ever to justify there aggression in the Middle East. Why are many media elite going out of there way to make the people think that the real Nazi's in the 1940's were Muslims living in Palestine and others parts of the Middle East? I know many think we are at war with Islam, but there are 1.4 billion Muslims and than less .01 percent are actual terrorist. However, the media wants us to view Muslims as the modern-day Nazi's and in order for us to believe this, they are making great strides in misguiding the new generations to believing that Muslims were in fact responsible for the Holocaust. We all know this is false, but given the situations evolving today and the continuous justification for targeting Muslims all over the world, the media elite are really trying to get the public to adopt this false and dangerous view.

You Ain't Gonna Like Losing!
President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq .Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII.
It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. (see the rest at my home page, plz.)

Do you think that American's today should abandon Christorpher Columbus Day? This holiday was created during a time when America (mainly everyone) was extremely racist towards native americans (and many other nationalities); referring to them as savage beasts. So, it's no surprise that they exalted Christopher Columbus as a national hero.But, here we are in the 21st century and we are not ready, as a nation, to except our sins and put this shameful "hella- day" to rest and apologize to Native Americans for the offense and for making them relive that horror every year. Throwing it in their faces as if nothing wrong happend. Are we that cold hearted?Mass murder and slavery commited by Columbus and his Conquistadors occurred hundreds of years ago, and wiped out the Aztec Nation (millions) from this planet, those actions has a great impact on Native Americans to date. It's a shame to condone this.How are we to hold our heads up high and proclaim to be "Leaders of the Developed World"?

That's tantamount to saying I support my Doctor but not the treatment, I support the teacher but not her work, I support the farmer but not the food, I support the electric company but not the electricity.
Does anybody see how silly that statement is?
