Watch this short video from BBC investigator Greg Palast:

Do Bush supporters know that the claims of Bush going AWOL are not simply unfounded partisan attacks? That there is actually factual evidence and reason to ascertain this conclusion? Or will they not even bother watching this short video which could challenge their narrow-minded righteousness and the infallibility of Bush?

Please, don't laugh, but for all my life I have always wanted to become a Power Ranger. People have told me that "Shawn, it's just a show!", but I refuse to believe that! I have honed my fighting and kung-fu skills for years to become the elite Purple Ranger! I have started designing my own Megazord and Power Ranger Megasuit to fight along side my Ranger friends and Zordon, my commander!! Please, tell me what else I can do to make my dream come true!!

I am only 13 now but have bad knees. You probably havent heard of it but its called Osgood-Schlauters disease. It isnt actually a disease. It is where your quads pull on and put to much strain on your pattellar tendon and it pulls away at the cartilage on top of your chin. I couldnt have prevented it because it is supposed to have been hereditary but I made it worse playing a full year of football with it. It gave me big lumps at the bottom of my knees. I had it x-rayed and I had some fracturing of my knee occur. the pain is supposed to go away by next year but the lump never goes away. Could I still join the military?

A report just released has discovered how corrupt the Howard is/was during the 2004 election. They quickly passed projects in Liberal seats and rejected them in Labor seats to manipulate the swinging voters!
Some of these projects were only in the planning stage but rushed through just before the last election.

I only have some details on it but will update this question as I get more of the report!!!

The longer this government stays in power the more it makes me sick. This government has tried to become a dictatorship by blocking out the alternative government. Anyone that believes Iraq is good because it promotes democracy is being screwed by their own government. You cannot be pro-democracy and vote Liberal. This is not my opinion but the facts, and they are comming out for you to see.

The saddest part is that there will be people that believe this is ok, and justify it to make themselves feel ok about it. This is ususally because they are so in bed with one party!!

I say because he had so much that today would be considered against him --
-He was military (General)
-He had been a Jehovah's Witness (Don't knock on ~my~ door)
-He was Republican (Oh my god ~gasp~)

But does anyone remember his "Cross of Iron" speach? I have exerpts from that printed and pasted in my cube at work and I am here to tell you, it's spiritural when I see people read that and reflect on it.

Would you vote for him if he'd run today? Even if he doesn't have as much $$$ as Hillary in his campaign warchest?

Google search "Eisenhower Cross of Iron Speech" to see what I mean. It's a brilliant play on words against the "Cross of Gold" thingy....

Would you vote for him today? Given his "negatives"? What if it were Dominici? Or Romney? Or Cain? Or ....(Fill in the blank...)

That's what I hear everytime I ask a liberal what qualifications do Obama or Hillary have to be running for president?

Have they run a company or been an excutive like Romney, Guliani or GWB?

Do they have experiance in the Military like McCain or GWB?

Have they ever managed an organization of anykind like Romney, Guliani, GWB?

They are simply two of 50 junior senators! That's it. Nothing else!

If your answer is "They Qualify under the Constitution."

Well, so does Matt Damon!

Has anyone else noticed that now in the US and throughout the world.

Whoever speaks out against the government whoever and whereever they may be are not being arrested tried and incarcerated for Terrorist Activity?

The US Consititution is now more valuable as a piece of toilet paper than the inspired document it was meant to be.

fighting to see who gets to rob your house?

The hard liners for either party fight so tenaciously but... it would seem the corruption in DC is rather partisan arbitrary at the moment.

With the amount of money that we have spent on the Iraq war, we could have replaced every car on the road with an ethanol powered car...nine times over. Think of that, we could almost cure our addiction to oil. Of course there would still be planes and helicopters that need oil, but most of the oil used in the U.S. is by cars.


And sooner or later, the oil will run out on earth, it is only a finite material. Do you think we will ever get another source of energy?
