If Holocaust (assuming that it is true) is done in Eurpoe by christians, why should Muslims in the Middle East be revenged? Why don't you give a piece of Germany or even America to them?

Just curious as to why this isnt an issue for dems?

In front of me was a family man, woman and kid, they purchased all processed foods. Now my question is, is that normal for people who are on assistance? If so I know why they complain about not having enough food being to lazy to cook is why. If I purchased like that I wouldn't be a home owner. What is wrong with these people? Also not only is their food free it's tax free and some places sell cheaper to food stamp actaul prices are lower. How much more will I have to substudize the do-less or worthless of the world?

Do you take the time to listen to the positions of both major political parties before you make your decision on where you stand in regards to a particular issue?
Or, is it easier for you just to blindly follow your chosen party for the simple fact that you feel that they represent your interests and beliefs in totality?

From the Left WIng LA Times;

"By every objective measure of military performance, the United States' surge of military forces into Iraq has been a great success. The number of terrorist attacks has fallen significantly. American military casualties are down, as are Iraqi civilian casualties. Perhaps the best testament to the surge's success is that civilian refugees are beginning to return."

The Draft to War
What positions are there in the military if you get drafted?
How does it work?
Do you think it might be put into affect soon?
(If it ever comes into affect, I am going to Canada :D
Not because I am a coward but I don't like to kill and don't want to kill)
What are your ideas on a military draft?
Do we need it?
I am just a curious person about other peoples thoughts and ideas :)
Oh ummmm
Do you have to sign something for a draft and you get a draft card and when your number is pulled then you go to war?
Not sure how this works please clear this up for me :)

It's hard to say this being a liberal, but I think that this is where the downfall of the country began.

The movement gave women too much power in the most important entity in the world - the family home. If you go back and trace when the divorce rate started to rise, you can see that it coincides with women being given the upper-hand in the courts across the country.

Because of this children are now very likely to be raised without the strong leadership that a man provides and thereby fall into more negative situations because they lack the guidance of a strong male figure.

This in turn leads to an increase in kids dropping out of school, becoming teenage mothers, getting involved in crime, and a whole host of other ills that are now ravaging this society.

And it's all because women have too much power to be put in their place in nowadays.

Hillary Clinton becoming president would the blow that breaks this nations back.

When President Bush presidency is over on January 20, 2009, it will be a sad day for America and the World. Bush is a True American who will be missed by All Americans for his hard work and dedication of service to our country and he will be missed by people all over the world for being a great humanitarian. If his brother John Ellis "Jeb" Bush became the 44th President, I would be insured that Bush's legacy of Hard World, Prosperity, and Success would be continued for Four More Years.

"A plan to bring red-light cameras to the city remains on hold.

The proposal by Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems was slated for a vote at Tuesday night's City Council meeting but was set aside because the city and Redflex continue to negotiate a contract.

Corporate Counsel Alayne Weingartz told aldermen there remains "some language to be worked out" in finalizing the deal that, based on Redflex's plan, calls for 20 cameras to be placed at key intersections throughout the city at no cost to the city.

"This has been bouncing around for a while," said At-large Alderman Bob O'Connor, chairman of the Finance Committee that has twice considered red-light cameras in the last year.

According to the plan submitted to the city in January, Redflex would own and operate the cameras.

Vehicles running red lights would be photographed, and citations would be sent to vehicle owners -- not the drivers -- by Redflex after consulting with police."

The mantra of the pro-war crowd is that the U.S. military must fight terrorists in the Middle East so that they can not attack us here. Given that a terrorist attack typically requires very few people to pull it off, why does the presence of our military in the Middle East assure that they will not attack U.S. civilians in America?
