I can't name 1 Conservative that has been a "featured celebrity" user here. I understand they are located in a heavy democratic leaning state California but I feel they should even things out so we can hear from both sides.

Does Tony Blair not know the level of poverty in Britain.
It is cheaper to go to McDonalds for a meal(most meals are 99p)
or the Chippy a small fish &chips 99p-£1.99 in Brum anyway.
There are a lot of women who don't know how to cook a good wholesome meal for their family and these women were all brought up with this Government statistically 1 in 5 children can't read or write when they leave school, so what hope have they got regarding cooking.
I'll bet most of these overweight children's parents are just as fat and haven't worked in years if ever.

Question is would Tony Blair be better Educating the Parents of overweight Children or should he put tax's up and give anyone over 9 stone who asks for a stomache band the operation

Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a Metro station in DC.

There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America . I politely declined to take one.

An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.

The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, "Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq ?"

The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam. All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again. I'll stick this umbrella up your *** and open it!"

God Bless America and Grandma's

I thought this was hilarious.

I see people constantly whining about welfare, I would admit that you actually had a point if I saw you complaining about giving tens if not hundreds of billions to non-taxpaying non-citizens (aka Iraqis) also.

Why did the media try to get the Marine in trouble for writing and singing the song "Hodji Girl'? What happened to free speech? How long would it take if there were video's of American snipers putting holes in terrorist on TV for the ACLU and all the peace loving people to try to have it taken off and sue the people who made the videos?

launch an agency who regularly, but randomly, checks up on welfare recipitants to see what they are doing all day?

Would the money saved, due to revocation of fraudsters, be more than it cost the agency?

What about private contractors doing it?

Why do liberals always use scare tatics like telling us the world is going to end if we do not tax this and that to make it better. What have they done to make the earth better? Does anyone know that we are being played for fools? Do they really love the earth or a nation in panic that if we do not elect them we will not be around tomorrow?

My sister is always talking about how she would love to live in Canada because things are better there. There is less crime and everyone gets free health care blah blah blah etc. etc. etc. . . . Is this true? I've heard it from other places too but i've never looked into it. Does Canada have free health care for their citizens? How does it work? Why doesn't the US have something like that? Is it easier there because they have a smaller population?

I mean, Christmas (or at least, the celebration of Jesus' birth) has been around for thousands of years, and even Ramadan has been around for awhile. and Hanukkah has been around since before all of them.

But wasn't Kwanzaa made up in the 70's? Why should people be able to get vacation for a holiday they just made up? I celebrate Christmas, but if I want to celebrate Festivus, can I have an extra vacation day for that?

But what's that got to do with the 2nd WW. ? Where milloins of folks were gased, shot, blown up, and beated to death. I think it's awefull that people should deny that it happened. This denial is particularly shamefull to Jewish folk.

I hear that the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize has thrilled milions around the world but for some reason it has never appeared on American airwaves.

Would America really rather watch a bunch of big fat dudes chasing an elongated ball across a muddy field, then all piling on top of eachother in a homo-sexually charged heap?
