Especially for those against abortion, if you knew that another Saddam Hussein was about to be born, would it be a sin to abort the fetus?

O.K the libs have been kicking, screaming, and just trying to sabotage the Iraq war for us. They tell us of the thousands of great sacrafices our soldiers have made for this country. And, I say that this is a good thing we need to know of those who have scraficed their lives for freeedom. But, back to the point they talk of the 3000+ casulties in Iraq but they condone the murders of babies here in the U.S. Millions of babies have been savagely killed and yet the liberals support this.

I'm still trying to grasp how people do not see a conspiracy in 9/11. Help me out. Please explain what makes you think 1200 feet tall skytscrapers would fall in their footprints from being hit by a plane? Seems to me if the towers were so weak as to collapse from such a hit, they would have toppled over. Just a guess based on physics.

Please explain. Thanks.

Why is it that so many Americans don't use the most powerful tool they have for getting the government they want?

"Car bombs are cheap, simple and deadly. Ever since an Italian anarchist named Mario Buda packed his horse-drawn wagon with explosives and killed forty people in Wall Street eighty-seven years ago, the devices have been the favourite tool of terrorists around the world. The American urban historian and social theorist MIKE DAVIS has written a history of the car bomb, or “the poor man’s air force”, as he calls it. Buda’s Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb is published by Verso." UNQUOTE

A bit worrying if George W Bush's advisors consider a car to be a potential WMD... woohoo another excuse to invade ANY country in the world..

George W Bush, as the ELECTED LEADER of USA, and, in the highest Office of the land should have come out with the truth of why he ordered troops to invade Iraq instead of allowing political and media spin to manipulate Joe and Jane Public.

Sounds a simple enough question, but I don't want Americans to just thing Geographical and give me a load of States in the middle of USA.

"Flick through any (UK) newspaper and it soon becomes clear that Middle England is a force to be reckoned with. Politicians are desperate to woo it, asylum seekers had best avoid it, and anyone who sees themselves as an upstanding citizen could do a lot worse than move to it."

a) What and who are "Middle England"

b) What and who are the U.S. equivilant?

A great deal of Americans are against President Bush's desire to amend the Constitution to forbid gay/lesbian marraiges from taking place. Whether homosexual marraiges are right or not is not for us mere humans to decide (and I couldn't care less since such a ban wouldn't affect me in any way), but what is the real problem with Bush wanting the Constitution amended this way? If it just so happened that the American public would be disgusted by such an act, couldn't they just vote to have the amendment amended after Bush was out of office (please remember that he doesn't have much time left at all)? Remember for a while that drinking and selling alcohol was a federal offense in the U.S. for quite a while, but that was amended after it was realized how ridiculous it was. If gay marraiges were banned and it was decided that such a ban is just as ridiculous as prohibition, couldn't the ban just be lifted in a future amendment?

"The definition of Rotten"


You really should be sitting down when you
read this one

Gold Star Mothers (G.S.M .)is an organization made up of women
whose sons were
killed in military combat during service in the United States
Armed Forces.

Recently a delegation of New York State Gold Star Mothers made a
trip to Washington D.C. , to discuss various concerns with their
elected
Representatives.

According to published reports,
there was only one politician who refused
to meet with these ladies.

Can you guess which politician
that might be?

Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer?
Nope, he met with them.

Try again. Do you know anyone serving
in the Senate who has never showed anything but contempt for our
military?

Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington
who's husband once wrote of his loathing for the military?

Now you're getting warm! You got it!


None other than the Queen herself,
Hillary Rotten Clinton!

She refused repeated requests to meet
with the Gold Star Mothers.

Now, please don't tell me you're Surprised.
This woman wants to be
President of the United States
- - - and - - -
there is a huge percentage of Voters
who are eager to help her achieve that goal.
- - - - <*> - - - -

Think about this one !!!
Don't forget, our girl,
Hillary Rodham Clinton,
as a New York Senator,
now comes under this fancy congressional Retirement and Staffing
Plan.

It's common knowledge that, in order for her to establish NYS
residency,
the Clinton's purchased a million+ dollar house in upscale
Chappaqua, NY

Makes sense.

Now, they are entitled to
Secret Service protection for life.

Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting.
The mortgage payments hover at about $10,000 per month.

BUT, an extra residency had to be built
within the acreage
in order to house the Secret Service agents .

The Clinton's now charge the Secret Service $10,000 monthly rent
for the use of said Secret Service residence
and that rent is just about equal
to their mortgage payment,
meaning that we, the tax payers,
are paying the Clinton's mortgage,
their transportation, their safety and security,
their 12 man staff, and it's all perfectly legal.


Sincerely, Cmdr. Hamilton McWhorter

Absolutely unbelievable. I don't, for a minute, believe the Democrats are trying to do anything to stop the war. I think it is all show and tell. BUT, when you read the article linked above, it really doesn't matter. It shows beyond any doubt that Bush and his party members in Congress and the Senate don't give a damn what the people want.

I think it is a sad state of affairs when our government out and out turns against us.

What do you think? Is this treason on their part or not? We the people clearly want out of war, wherever it may be, and Bush and his people DO NOT CARE WHAT WE WANT.

Something has got to be done about these people.
