"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the Body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind . . . Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."
--Thomas Jefferson, Letter to his nephew Peter Carr, August 19, 1785.

2005: Iran developing nuclear weapons.
2007: Iran stopped developing nuclear weapons in 2003.

Right....

Here's a better idea. Maybe America should stop starting wars completely.

This case had been going round for quite some time now, and still the 80,000 homeowners need to see one penny returned to them, but the lawyer and his SEVEN clients have had to return the money.

Isn't this a fine example of what citizens can accomplish when they really get interested in what their government is doing, and be able to "correct" some mistakes?!!!

I am currently in the DEP for the USMC. I got in the DEP In June of 07 and I ship for boot in June of 08. The reason I wanted is because I didn't want to grow up with the ordinary depressing job, and I wanted to be a man of respect, courage, commitiment, honor, and I wanted a chanllenge to make a difference in this world. Now the reason I want out is because since then I have come to realize that I can be all of those things with out the marine corps and I could probly make a bigger difference if I don't go in the marine corps. I also don't want to go in because I don't want to help fight for and support what I believe to be a corrupt gov. in several aspects; such as the North American Union, possibly going to Iran, getting involved in unnecisary foreign affairs, the RFID chip dated to come out mar. 8, 2008, and I think 9/11 may have been an inside job to manipulate the public into supporting it's agenda. So what would be the best way to tell my recruiter so he doesn't constantly call?

Team Clinton’s latest sleazy trick, an astonishing press release about Barack Obama’s gradeschool essays….Yep Grade School.
Countering an Obama jibe about certain senator’s “long-held plans” to run for president. Hillary’s well oiled attack machine accessed its data base – accusing Obama of “rewriting history” by ignoring his own lingering interest in the White House.

The evidence? A pair of essays he’d written – one back in 3rd Grade and the other when he was even younger. :In kindergarten” deadpanned the Clinton release “Sen Obama wrote an essay titled “I want to become President”.

Naturally the Obama camp stated it was prepared to counter the suggestion that he’d actually flip-flopped from his 2nd grade dreams of becoming an astronaut.

Now all this would be funny if it was not disgusting, to tell the truth, Team Clinton’s actually message was meant to be something like “If we know what you did in kindergarten, Sen Obama, Just imagine what else we know about you. You’ll tread lightly, if you’re wise”

And that would be ironic given how many years Hillary has been crying about smear campaigns against her.

As the ridicule mounted, Clinton’s pollster Mark Penn finally claimed the press release had been a joke, professing his amazement that anyone had taken it seriously. Right, it was a joke, but it wasn’t wrong, message delivered, And no doubt, understood by Obama

Now question, who gets someone to go and investigate what someone did in “KINDERGARTEN” ? and if you stoop that low, whats NEXT ?

The Israeli government is mad because the NIE didn't match with their agenda. Now most people don't think of Israelis as terrorists, but they invented modern day terror as we know it. Google "terrorism, Zionism" if you don't believe me

They have used terror in the past against the Paletinians and the British.

Also Zbigniew Brzezinski of the Council On Foreign Relations, warned in May in front of the Senate Foreign relations committee that the US could stage terror to kick start this war with Iran (source) -

So do you think they will use terror to drag the US into a war with Iran?

Don't like the media? Call it socialist.
Don't like liberals? Call them socialist.
Don't like foreign nations? Call them socialist.
Don't like school? Call it socialist.
Don't Yahoo? Call it socialist.
Don't like government programs? Call them socialist.
Don't like somebody? Call him or her socialist.

From what I take it, 'socialism' is something that isn't liked, or isn't hard core right wing.

So what isn't socialist? Fox news?

Hillary would transform our economy from carbon-based to clean and energy efficient, jumpstarting research and development through a $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund and doubling investment in basic energy research. She would also spur the green building industry by funding the retrofitting and modernization of 20 million low-income homes and take concrete steps to reduce electricity consumption, including enacting strict appliance efficiency standards and phasing out incandescent light bulbs.

Recognizing that transportation accounts for 70 percent of U.S. oil consumption, Hillary would increase fuel efficiency standards to 55 miles per gallon by 2030, but would help automakers retool their production facilities through $20 billion in "Green Vehicle Bonds."
