No Other Republican since WWII could come close to Gen Eisenhower.

Yet NeoCons dismiss him as a lowly Army Cheerleader.

Significant portion of the Muslim world does not recognize Israel as a legitimate state. Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab states, so far, which have sign peace treaties with Israel. On the other hand, Turkey was the first Muslim-majority nation to formally recognize the State of Israel (March 28, 1949). If these countries can recognize Israel, what prevents the rest of Muslim worlds to do the same? This wikipedia link cannot provide me any satisfactory answers either:

My youngest bonus daughter is multiply disabled and wears a scoliosis brace (my hubby has physical custody and he and her mom have joint legal). Her bio mom has repeatedly admitted to not putting the brace on her like she is supposed to. However, she only has her one day a week (her choice) and overnight just a few nights a year. Daughter’s ortho said that one day a week wouldn't make that big of a difference so in the interest of peace we haven't made a big deal out of it. Here's the problem: She's having scoliosis surgery in May to correct her curve and after the surgery she HAS to wear her brace (a few months) and this time there could be major problems if she doesn't. Bio mom has a LONG history of ignoring doctors, us and everyone else that "tells" her what to do with her child. We are really afraid she will not use the brace like she should.

Just think what the rest of the millions could do. For example, Hillary Clinton has raised $90million. That could do so much good in other areas, like child poverty etc.

When I filed I-130 for my husband I was a green card holder. The petition was approved and forwarded to the embassy. 4 months later we are still waiting for a visa. I have recently become a US citizen. Should I now file for a K3 visa or notify embassy I am a citizen to speed up processing?

I received a call from some guy who was supposedly a lawyer representing citi bank, about 6 months ago. and he demanded that i settle my depts by sending hundreds of dollars a month, at the time I was not working and had no money at all ( which caused me to be in dept)
well, i didnt and he vanished.
Now recently another guy called me, with the same tactics.
he says the citi bank is filing against me and asked if I had a lawyer i said no. so he ask if i would like to settle this out of court. i said sure, how do i do that? and he said i need to pay up 2,000 dollars. i said cant do that. thats all the money currently in my account and i have bills to pay.(like loans, cell bills and rent, plus food). i asked him, when this be filed and when i will have to go to court, he said with in 72 hrs . he got nasty and disrespectful. so i hung up the phone.

I was initially sentenced to go to court on a FTY ticket, in which I pleaded not guilty. The person that was suppose to go to court about the case never showed up. So the judge threw this case out. Months later, I received notice that I'm now being taking to small claims court about vehicle damages. Can this person try and use the FTY against me even though the judge through this case out (because of his no show)? AND if he doesn't show up for this court case. About how many times can he initiate going to court and wasting my time about this issue?

Thanks!!

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.


A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division . .

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.

Tax his bills,

Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax hi m until he's good and sore.

Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to my doom!'

And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to 'press

Savage is certainly not the first to call CAIR's political motivations into question. CAIR is the leading Islamic lobby group in the nation and the organization is accorded a great deal of legitimacy by the mainstream media, the Bush administration and other politicians, academia, civil rights activists, and even military and federal agencies that have employed the group's assistance for "sensitivity" and "cultural training." Nonetheless, questions surrounding CAIR's philosophical underpinnings, foreign funding, and political goals continue to haunt the group's footsteps.

Federal prosecutors named CAIR, along with the Islamic Society of North America and the North America Islamic Trust, an unindicted co-conspirator in the recent case involving the now-defunct Muslim charity the Holy Land Foundation and its alleged financial ties to the Palestinian terrorist group turned terrorist government Hamas. Also coming to light via the Dallas trial was a 1991 memo put out by the Egyptian Islamist organization the Muslim Brotherhood citing a strategy to subvert the West using mainstream Islamic front groups such as CAIR. As Dallas Morning News columnist Rod Dreher put it:

The HLF trial is exposing for the first time how the international Muslim Brotherhood — whose Palestinian division is Hamas — operates as a self-conscious revolutionary vanguard in the United States. The court documents indicate that many leading Muslim-American organizations — including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim American Society — are an integral part of the Brotherhood's efforts to wage jihad against America by nonviolent means.
