The Ottoman Empire was all of the Middle East did the liberal House just increase world wide tensions by passing it's censure on Turkey VIA the Ottoman Empire? DO democrats realize that they just slighted the entire Midddle East?

AND WAS THAT A GOOD IDEA?

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)

This August, the Senate and House of Representatives both passed landmark bills that - if combined, will put America on the path to energy independence and solving global warming.

Right now, members of the House and Senate are working to create a final version of the bill - which could and should include the best of both measures - that raises fuel efficiency standards to 35 miles per gallon and requires that 15% of our electricity be generated by wind, solar or other renewable power.
If Congress flips the switch, this bill will:
Cut 20% of our global warming emissions by 2030 and make significant progress on the long term reductions in global warming pollution that we need,
Save consumers more than $25 billion at the pump and billions more on their home energy bills,
Bring a new clean energy economy to life - an energy economy that, according to studies by the Union of Concerned Scientists, will keep and create hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying American jobs.

well, I want to know where all this "Americans" are, looking for a job. I work for a staffing service and we have an add in the newspaper, so they know. The pay is decent and these are temp-to-hire positions with a very reputable company and great benefits. It is a manucfacturing job, light assembly, but americans don't want the job or they are felons. Therefore it is not that illegals are taking our jobs, is that most americans are lazy and don't want to stand for 8 hours, or actually work. I also know for a fact that illegals are not the only ones not filing their taxes, americans do it all the time. In addition, ilegals are not the only ones committing identity theft, americans do it also, you know why? so that they don't have to pay child support. So if in your little mind some of you think, that AMERICA would be a perfect world if all the ilegals left, think again.

I have always been very Proud to be an American every since I was a child I will be 30 next week but anyway I am buying a house and the 1st thing I am doing is putting up a flag pole. My question is that I want to put the flag at half staff as well as the POW Flag cause my feeling is the many many men and women who have died for this country should be honered and remembered everyday not just a few selexct days a year. Would it be wrong to do it that way? also would it be wrong to put the POW Flag under the American flag or should the POW Flag be flown seperatly? I wish I could had joined the military after I turned 18 but I cannot use my right hand from being born with brain damage. I also am going to light the flag pole with RED White and Blue Lights shining on old Glory.

Fear is a powerful motivator. Consequently, war will always take precedence over any social program.

While at lunch, my son drank another kids tea that was laced with cough meds. He was unaware of this. The school knew this other kid had just been arrested for stealing these products the other week. I had already advised the school to keep my son separated from him. My son was so overdosed he spent the night in the hospital thinking he would die. While there, the kid who had the drugs spoke to my son on the phone in front of the Dr. to admit what had been taken. My son is home now but is faced with 5 days of out of school suspension. The school has launched an investigation but I feel there is some criminal negligence & intent on both their part and the 17 yr. old who brought this to school. I am still waiting for the police department to contact me. I can't afford a lawyer and am asking for some serious feed back from you as well as wondering if anyone else has experienced this themselves.

Can I sue Mcdonalds for 2.2 Bajillion dollars for having beef in their french fries? I'm a vegetarian and I've been eating Mcdonalds french fries a few times a month, and I just found out that there is beef in their fries! It doesn't say anything on their website about that!

I demand 2.2 Bajillion dollars. If an old lady can sue mcdonalds for spilling coffee on her self, can I sue Mcdonalds for this?

"Many of you are well enough off that [President Bush's] tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to have to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

A music concert was just announced to take place in my town in January 2008. Tickets to the "general public" go on sale Monday at 10:00AM. An on-line search reveals ticket brokers already selling tickets at considerably over the face value indicated on the official ticket seller's website. First question, how do the ticket brokers get the tickets they are selling already (or do they even already have them??) and how do they skirt scalping laws that prohibit sales at over face value??

instead of sending all those greenbacks to mexcio why cannot the illegals start a fund to help us anglos and black taxpayers out that are being squeezed to pay for them living here. You can see them lined up at wire transfer centers all over the southwest wiring money back home. I wish i had some spare cash to send home to mom but I am paying for illegal mexicans.
