Rush Limbaugh was detained after customs officials found Viagra in his luggage with no prescription in his name. He was returning from the Dominican Republic, a hot bed for sexual tourism.
Is this John Mark Carr story just a cover for Rush Limbaugh?
Should Bush make a statement on the trafficing of women?

Seems like no matter what anyone does, the media will attack the people in power in full force. Now my question is,

would this country have been founded back in 1776 if todays media had been there? Or would the dirt they dug up to try and crush George Washington and Thomas Jefferson prompt most of the colonies to not follow them?

I was searching google for something when
I noticed this site,

http://www.metric4us.com/whynot.html

And it made me think, why doesnt America use the metric system? It is so much easier, and everyone else uses it!
Please read at least some of the site ( http://www.metric4us.com/whynot.html ) before answering.

Please give a serious answer with facts. I do not want to hear that he sent your brother or uncle to his death in Iraq. I don't want to hear "because his interests aren't my interests." And I definitely don't want to read anything regarding Iraq oil and terrorists. Please follow those guidelines before answering. I really want a legitimate argument that does not involve those statements. Thanks!

I think instead of reading about counting other as enemies, killing and torturing people of other religion, Muslims should read the words of Jesus,like "Love your neighbour", "If someone slaps you right cheak, show your left as well". "Forgive seven seventy times", Though you dont believe in others religion, you should not forbid it. "Love your enemies".

First ,my kids are no where near over-weight.But my point is what harm is a piece of cake or a cup-cake for your childs class on their birthday? Now I am told by the school it's against the law. I know their is a problem with overweight kids nowdays . But I don't think the little bit of stuff they get at school is causing it. Now my kindergarten twins have to bring a daily snack for the class once a month .Which is great . But it has to be a health snack.Shouldn't it be the parents place to teach their child how to eat . Not punish all the kids. Is this just in Arkansas or country wide.

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed
to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
