CNN is reporting that Rummy is resigning. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bush say less than a week ago that Rumsfeld was staying on to the bitter end?

If so, this would be a definite flip-flop.

So, why do Republicans and conservatives mercilessly attack Dems such as Kerry for flip-flopping when the president has just done the exact same thing?

Does anyone know if Tennessee Amendments 1 & 2 have been passed? One of the TN Amendments was the banning of gay marraige in TN. And the other one was over property taxes for owners over 65. Can anyone help me out here. Is there a website that i can see stuff like that?

Our country, and economy are about to enter the toilet. When the dollar finishes tanking will the Re-pubes successfully blame the Democrats for their gross mismanagement for the past six years?

Please read these facts and then decide if you think its OK
MYTHS ABOUT ABORTION



Myth 1. It's "my body".
Busted 1. No it's not. It is a foundational genetic fact that your body has your DNA, your fetus' DNA is different.

Myth 2. The fetus is a parasite.
Busted 2. A parasite, by biological definition, must be a different species. No thinking person would consider apples as parasites of an apple tree. (However a worm in the apple is indeed a parasite). The biological defintion of parasite can be found at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/parasit... . Some committed abortion supporters cling to the etymological definition of "one who is sustained by another without benefit to the host". Taken in that sense, a 6 month old baby is as much of a parasite as a fetus. Only the most despicable monsters in world history killed the very young.

Myth 3. You can't legislate women from getting abortions by making abortions illegal.
Busted 3. Driving while intoxicated is also illegal, but thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers every year - only an imbecile would suggest that we legalize driving drunk because people "will do it anyhow".

Myth 4. You can't tell a person what to do with their body.
Busted 4. Wrong. There are many laws regarding public health and decency (Ex. you can't ride the city bus while in the nude.)

Myth 5. Fetuses aren't human.
Busted 5. 46 human chromosomes couldn't possibly be anything else. Tyrants and slavers throughout history always rationalized their crimes by denying the humanity of their victims. Radical supporters of abortion point out that on rare occasions terrible genetic diseases like Turner's Syndrome cause people to be born with 45, 47 or 48 chromosomes and that these people are "not human". While these genetic diseases have pronounced physical and mental manifestations, they do not change the species of the affected person.

Myth 6. The fetus cannot survive on its own.
Busted 6. Neither can infants - a six month old infant would quickly die left to its own abilities. Again, only history's worst monsters killed infants.


Myth 7. Many Christians get abortions.
Busted 7. Many Christians owned slaves - didn't make it right.

Myth 8. Making abortion illegal would force women who were raped or pregnant through incest or whose health was threatened to give birth.
Busted 8. Before Roe v Wade many states allowed for court ordered abortions for this very specific set of circumstances. A system for quick and condfidential judicial review for terminating these troubled pregancies would ensure the taking of human life has its day in court.

Myth 9. Human eggs and sperm are alive. Menstration and masturbation are the same as abortion.
Busted 9. So are the cells of the lining of our mouth - but like the egg or sperm, they independently could never be the start of a new human being.

Myth 10. The fetus isn't human because it isn't sentient.
Busted 10. Neither are people who are unconscious, and no one would suggest killing a person because they are unconscious is legal.

Myth 11. If you don't like abortions, don't have one!
Busted 11. If you don't like slavery, don't own one! Didn't work in 1865 - the abortion version won't work today.

Myth 12. If abortion is made illegal, dangerous "back alley" abortions will thrive.
Busted 12. The availability and efficacy of modern contraceptives can make unwanted pregnancies as likely as winning the lottery.

Myth 13. You can't support the death penalty and be pro-life.
Busted 13. Any unborn person convicted of a capital crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Every year that Tony B-liar has been in power everything has gone up... not by a little...but by a huge amount. We have taxes upon taxes upon taxes... Rates have gone skyward, new taxes have appeared and now we are told we will have to pay out over £1000 a year to help climate change, 4 x 4 have been extra taxed, City congestion charges....

Anyone think, like me, it is all blown out of proportion so a greedy useless government can rake in extra billions for doing bugger all??

And if it is all down to climate change and we have had the hottest year in hundreds of years then waht was the reason for being so hot back then... it couldn't have been climate change could it??

I smell a bl**dy big conspiricy...

What say you........

What does the normal man or woman in the western world think about this: Why do the Arabs and Muslims hate Israel.
Why is there that big hatred in their harts towards that state in the middle east.
Why did they have those wars with it, why do they support the palestineans in their fight against it, Why would 1,2 Billion in the world hate Israel.
I have always tried to find an answer for that question.....???

I've heard people argue that the tax increases will only affect the extreme wealthy, the richest of the rich.

While this alone will deflate the market and will have profound economic effects, the reality is that they have promised to roll back all tax breaks granted by the last Congress.

That means the marriage penalty get reinstituted and the child tax credit gets eliminated. Those programs have a greater effect on the middle and lower classes than the upper class.
