Do they really know our weaknesses? By now, the enemy should have figured out that the people who run America will never continue a war if doing so will put their own sons at risk. Under the jihadists' interpretation of Islam, infidels are no better than insects, so there is no shame in killing teenagers.

Besides, why wouldn't the American rich want to avoid all this personalized terror by converting us to Islam? Considering the soft, luxorious, tax-free, alimony-free lifestyle that the Arab sheiks have, unbothered by any disrespect from their subjects, our leaders will inevitably be tempted to follow this path. In times past, Holy Warriors conquered many areas without firing a shot. All they had to do was point out to the native rulers how Islam made the common people totally obedient to whoever was in power.

Our leaders, sheltered in their gated communities, are threatened by our democracy, which they call "mob rule." Islam would do away with all that.

The reason stem cell has been painted with a scraligious brush is that is leads to actual cures. It has nothing to do with god. After companies invest large amounts of money researching stem cell it is quite possible they will develop the ability to cure people from, at present, uncurable ailments. This leaves the companies in a conundrum. They no longer can sell pills to treat illnesses for life. Instead a procedure will cure the patient and they will no longer be a revenue source. Stem cell research is a bad investment for profit driven drug companies. Society on the other hand could benefit greatly.

Please read the article. I wonder, is this just another, in the long list of spewed propaganda, designed to provide hope, or better said, false hope?

I mean really, as if the November 7, 2006 message wasn't clear enough. Why are we even discussing the withdraw from Iraq? There's nothing to discuss if our votes MEAN ANYTHING. We the people have spoken. Get OUR PEOPLE OUT of Iraq. It's that simple. There is nothing to talk about.

"Poor records plague Bush AIDS effort By RITA BEAMISH, Associated Press Writer
24 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush's ambitious AIDS-fighting program in poor countries has pushed so hard for fast results that basic record keeping and accountability often went by the wayside, making it hard to judge the true success, according to government audits and officials.

Investigators found the three-year-old, $15-billion program has over counted and undercounted thousands patients it helped or was unable to verify claims of success by local groups that took U.S. money to prevent the spread of disease or care for AIDS victims and their children".

The Bush administration, with its history of greed, homophobia and racial intolerance has the motive, means and opportunity to ensure this program would fail, all the while lining the pockets of fellow minded neocons.

Now, how are the spin doctors going to flip this to Clintons fault.

Did the "tratior" get you here?

Please don't answer me with "lol" or or by telling me that the 9/11 terrorists didn't correctly state the purpose of their visit. I would really like to know in terms of national and national laws., and also ....what actually happened. This question occured to me last week while I was waiting in a long line of cars to cross the US/Canadian border. I knew the likely questions would be....Where did I live? ...what was the purpose of my visit?...did I have with me any alcahol, tobacco, or firearms? ...And I imagined the soldiers in an ivading army being asked similar questions.

To me it's this, democrats are willing to pay higher taxes for the betterment of our society in general. Republicans are more for the individual and how much can they keep for themselves.

I have the feeling I'm gonna get bombed on this, but that's my opinion.

Can you give some examples of freedoms that Americans have lost or, on the other hand, gained over the past six years?

Yes the constitution says so but needs amending in favor of the legal majority! The minority wealthy mob has ruled & controled all levels of government,they plant candidate's for you to choose from. They privatized your banking system from the government with the Federal reserve board in the early 1900's You to date do not have a proof positive verifiable form of voting from point of ballot cast to transmitted numeric results thats NOT subject to being tampered with. What democracy? More like land of the conquered & divided!

To the tune of "Way Down Upon the Swanee River"

Way down upon Dick Cheney's liver
Somewhere near his guts
Lies a heart as cold as Breyer's ice cream
With chocolate fudge and almond nuts

Way down upon Dick Cheney's scrotum
That's a funny thought
Can you imagine if he gave a speech naked
And never ever even got caught?
