Did everyone see what Nancy Pelosi has done lately. She wanted to force a vote on a killing of armenians by turkish troops hundreds of years ago and call it a "massacre" which would result in the straining of relations between the United States and Turkey.

Turkey has allowed us to keep a large military force (for the longest time the only middle east stronghold we had) and a large air force base.

Is this good for america in a time of war?

Does anyone even listen to this bitter old crone?

Is this why congress has an approval rating of 14%?

Any ideas?

Dobbs hates Peloi's, Hillary's and the Dems' support for illegals.

Dobbs can't stand seeing the Dems support the destruction of American families by giving America away to illegals.

53. While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a bottle on the beach and picked it up. Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said, "Master, may I grant you one wish?"

Osama responded, "You ignorant, unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything."

The shocked genie said, "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever."
Osama thought a moment, then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman and said, "Very well, I want to awaken with three American women in my bed in the morning. So just do it and be off with you."

The annoyed genie said, "So be it!" and disappeared.

The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt , Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton at his side. His penis was gone, his knees were broken, and he had no health insurance. God is good.

I live in Chicago and there are currently two local taxing bodies who are proposing a host of new taxes, the city of chicago and cook county. Both governments are proposing massive tax increases. As a citizen, what recourse do I have? Can I conscientiously object and not pay without getting into trouble? Is there any system of oversight that would limit the amount of taxation? I mean what do we do when our local governments decide stuff like this. It seems like there is no choice but to complain and pay it.

I say it is and life is great in the USA for all its citizens like never before. We are so fortunate to have George Bush, jr in charge of things ...and he deserves all the credit for how great things are.

On December 4, 2006, a pack of animals attacked Justine Barker, knocked him unconscious, and proceeded to stomp on his unconscious body in a clear attempt to kill him.

These animals were subsequently captured and, for some unknown reason, have turned over to the police, as opposed to animal control where they belong.

It is my understanding that when an animal attempts to kill, or even just harm a human, that animal is unceremoniously put down.

Why are these six animals receiving trials and not simply being put down like other animals???

Since, by receiving a trial, these animals are receiving far more then they deserve, where is the cause for controversy???

The only possible cause for controversy I can see stems from the question of why these animals are receiving trials in the first place and not simply being put down like any other animal that attacks a human.

They keep telling me I "make too much" but yet I still can't afford to finish. An illegal immigrant applies and gets a free full-ride....WTF is going on?? I was born and raised an American but the government won't help me out, they WILL help out someone here illegally. Is it me or is this completely backwards?

Bush has taken the country for ride. a bad, bad ride. Why are there faithful blind republicans that won't just wake up?
Lou Dobbs is by far not a left winged hippy. And he has some straight forward hard talk on bush:

"Bush campaigned for the Republican Party's nomination eight years ago, styling himself as a compassionate conservative. He's amply demonstrated that he is neither. Although many conservatives refuse to accept the reality, George W. Bush is a one-world neo-liberal who drove budget and trade deficits to record heights while embracing faith-based economic policies that perversely require only blind allegiance to free markets and free trade, without regard for consequence."

Bush isn't running for reelection.

But, it looks like the Dem-controlled Congress is going to be despised for quite some time.

Do you agree that it is useless to own gun's in Malaysia?
The law's in Malaysia makes it so difficult to own gun's.
Even if you do get the C & U chances are you couldn't shoot straight and the responsibilities that possessing a gun brings out weight the reason of owning one in the first place.
I strongly believe that gun's should be left to those who are trained and licensed to protect people.
However Malaysian are very kia su people.
They take security issue lightly and rather take the risk than hire security for sensitive task like handling large cash deposit and withdrawal, and not to mention high value goods.
This will give the robbers plenty of choices and opportunities to strike at their will and wimps'
As such they have only themselves to blame.
I am sure it won't cost you a fortune to have a security officer for half a day to accompany you on your sensitive errant's.
If no such service is available someone should start doing something to cater to this huge group of customers.

Liberals often refer to the Kennedy family as royalty and consider America's time of "Camelot" as JFK's term in office.

In comparison the Bush family has two presidents and one governor in their immediate family. The Kennedy family has two DOA's and one attempted suicide by drowning.
