Maybe these men will be:

John Murtha- defamed our Marines by spreading bogus lies about them. For example, he said they murdered in "cold blood".

John Kerry- flipped the bird at our war vets, called our troops stupid, and said we couldn't win in Iraq.

Dick Durbin- called our toops "Nazis".

I don't know about you.

Do you think the liberals will think it's too patriotic?

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

With all of the Police bashing, complaining, alleged misuse of authority, and brutality, I'm curious to see what it would take to please some of the Police bashers out there.....be REALISTIC.

what is better, getting off the freeway and seeing a white man, with a sign, saying he needs money, or getting off the freeway seeing a mexican selling roses?

I'm always hearing "they hate us for our freedoms", and "what rights have you personally lost?"

Please explain how one is worth going to war over, and the other one is "no big deal"?

They are starting to migrate north to Canada by the thousands Windsor Canada is already starting to complain that it has cost them 300,000 bucs last month alone. Mexicans found out that you can claim refugee status for 2 yrs and it makes you eligible for free medical housing and food plus cash. A govt. spokesman said they feared once the word started getting out they would be over run by an influx of illegal mexicans. He said what they dont understand is that after 2 yrs only about 20% would be allowed to stay they would send the rest back to the US thats the bad news.

Considering the elections are still a long way off ...What would happen if big businesses started backing her national health care plan? Business lobbyists are some of the most powerful lobbyists in Washington and Republicans are usually known to support big businesses. As a business owner or company, why wouldn't this be appealing? It means more money in their pocket, more profits for the company could mean better pensions plans for retired employee's ( just one example).
We all know that health care costs are enormous (look at what's happening to GM right now). Why wouldn't businesses/companies back her plan? Wouldn't it be in their own best interest to do so...passing the buck (literally) to the federal govt is a win/win situation for them. By doing so they would save HUGE amounts of money and even if they have to pay some sort of higher tax , that still would be significantly lower than paying for the individual health care costs of their employee's (and retired employee's).

So i have a cousin, who lived in California for a while. He was a 4.0 student and was given scholarships to numerous schools. However; he instead turned to a life of crime. He started with trying every drug. Then he sold drugs and buried them in his parents back yard. Then he drank whole bottles of liquor in the bathroom of stores, then he stole credit cards, then he stole cars. Finally after he was given to many "breaks" he moved with his parents to Mississippi, where they had a mansion. For some reason he decided it was a good idea to douse the place in gasoline and burn in to the ground. Now he is in a Mississippi prison and was given 10 years. I heard however that he was getting out much earlier then usual, early next year. He has only been there for about a year and a half. My question is why is our justice system like this, why do they give you scary sentences with no backbone whatsoever. and what should i do about this cousin in the future,i know he is the type to make plans.

1. CHP officer is a rookie only on the force 2.5 yrs.
2. I requested a breathalyzer; reference: California Vehicle code 23612. = I have a choice.
3. I was taken to hospital due to my medical condition which was bogus. Also I was waiting to take my breath test for 1 hour prior to transportation to the hospital.
4. Police are not doctors and can't determine if a person needs medical treatment if they are coherent and speaking complete sentences.
5. I was never given a chance to prove to the officers that I could perform the Breathalyzer normally. If they gave me a chance to take the Breathalyzer as it is in police protocol and I failed by fudging or by not being able to take the test, Then they should and could take me to the hospital and take my blood under my consent or without it.

6.I was never given that chance which deems that I was medically able to take the Breathalyzer.

7. This means that the blood draw which I didn't refuse would be an "illegal blood draw".

Busted in AZ for a felony. so they take away your right to vote. but it is not a FEDERAL charge, just a STATE charge. Now if I move to another state can I vote in the state that I move to seems how I have never committed a felony in that state? This has been bugging me for a while.
