Source: truthdig.com The aircraft carrier Eisenhower, accompanied by the guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio, guided-missile destroyer USS Ramage, guided-missile destroyer USS Mason and the fast-attack submarine USS Newport News, are making their way to the Straits of Hormuz off Iran. The ships will be in place to strike Iran by the end of the month. It may be a bluff. It may be a feint. It may be a simple show of American power.

What do you think about people getting funding for school and using false information to do so while those who work but can't afford schooling and want to better themselves get denied? Why do the goverment allow people to go to school and drop classes after so many hours of the class and still fund them for the class. Is it okay for people to be married and lie to the government about their marriage status just to get pell grant checks, and student loans? Should the government investigate into these situations more to detect things of such? And should these people be charged for giving fraudulent information?

It's getting to be crunch time and we've vented our frustrations but now that election day is coming, shouldn't we make sure we get out and vote so that the LEFT doesn't take over our government?

It seems there is always some excuse to raise gasoline prices. How much do you think gas per gallon will go up if North Koreas runs their nuke test which will fail and probably spill nuclear waste all over the place?

names offend you?

Certainly your mother told you about sticks and stones, right?

I love to be called names by libs, lets me know I'm getting my message across.

I fully expect one pansy or more to report me for this, but it's worth it since Carla apologized.

What we just bully around little piss ant countries and then when a real country stands up to us we run and hide like little girls? WTF!?

We look like a bunch of sissy boys! People will say " they are more dangerous and have a bigger military and nuclear weapons " that translates into " We are a bunch of cowards who are afraid to get popped in the mouth ". We went to Iraq looking for WMDs, We know N. Korea has them why aren't we going?

when liberals talk of finding the root causes of terrorism rather than pursuing a war against global Islamic jihad.

2006-10-10 06:24:04 · 5 answers · asked by gizzardout 3

Here we are, at "war" with Islamic radicalism-- a philosophy diametrically different from Liberalism-- and so many of you devote virtually all of your efforts fighting your own little war-- a hate Crusade-- against your fellow Americans! Liberals are NOT the enemy-- why do you act like they are?

Everything that makes America great and special is an expression of LIBERAL values. The Founding Fathers were Liberal. Don't believe me? Check this:

1) Conservative means adherence to the tried and true, resistance to change, a suspicion of the new and different. Agreed?

2) In 1776, monarchy was the tried and true. There was NO example of a Constitutional, representative Democracy. So if they were conservative, our Founders would have been monarchists. Giving us Democracy makes them Liberal, then and now.

What do you expect to accomplish with your Hate Crusade? Make Liberals go away? Make America a place where everyone must conform to YOUR way? THAT'S NOT FREEDOM!

Jack Straw, former foreign secretary to Blair and now head of the house of commons, representing constituents in Blackburn England, has said he asks women to remove their veils when speaking at his constituency office. He points out that a female assistant is always present.
He has been quoted as saying he finds it hard to communicate with a person whose face is covered, and that he believes the veil is a sign of the dividedness in our society.

What do people think about this?

I know this question has been proposed before but I'm from Missouri and our governor has now suggested that teachers in Missouri might be permitted to carry guns. Rural Missouri is a strong gun-advocate area and it scares me to think we might start arming our teachers. I can't see how it can help but I think this is a real possiblity and I find it frightening. I wonder if the focus and attention to the details has contributed to the increase in these incidents. Not that it shouldn't be reported - it's the details that I think are more impacting on potential copy-cats.
