I've seen some democrats in here make statements to the effect that poverty could be stopped in this country if poor people would be given money from rich people. I'm assuming these individuals are very very young and naive. Let's take a little survey here: who thinks that the average poor person would make their way out of poverty within six months, and stay out of poverty for a lifetime, if they were given several thousand dollars? My experience working with the poor population is that the typical poor person would use the money on foolish things, and would end up still poor, still uneducated, still blaming the government and bad luck on their plight.

I saw a report the other day where the Ameerican government considers the brotherhood, a muslim religious organisation to be a direct threat because of the fact that they are a religious organisztion that belives in male supremecy and they own many hospitals over there in Iraq and do charity work, My questions is isn't the Shriners about the same thing, aren't they a branch off of the Masons whom believe that White males are the supreme being, why is it then that the brotherhood, a muslim version of the same beliefs would be considered a terrorist organization and the Masons would not?

-Ethanol is made with sugar. We don’t make sugar real well, so we make corn…which than has to be processed to get out what we need. This adds another step to the process. Every time you add a step you add to the cost. As well as raising the costs in other sectors because the cost of corn goes up, which makes it more expensive to feed cows…you can see where this is going… -With farmers growing the corn as fast as they can, they are ruining the soil. Which, by the way is replenished with manure from the cows and made with oil -So, you say, you would rather support the Midwestern farmers than the big fat oil companies…Trust me the little farms are all owned by big, fat companies too. -Brazil is more than willing to tear down the entire rainforest to make this sugar for us, but now we are tearing down the rainforest that clears the world of much of its carbon gases, which is the original reason that we are making alternative fuels in the first place

Would youy vote for Fred Thompson for president?

My husband is threatening that he won't show up for our trial date for our divorce. We filed the papers months ago, and we did a joint petition and he signed everything, but now he says he "doesn't want to give me my divorce b/c he still loves me" What happens if only I show up for the trial date? Will the divorce still be granted to me because he already signed the papers, or will the date be moved and he will have to show up before they will grant my divorce??? Thanks!!

I'll admit, I'm only 26 ...but I've been raised as a republican. So I need to know, is Bush a correct representative of the republican party or am I just perhaps becoming a democrat? Because I've gotten to the point that I don’t like Fox news and I don’t like Bush BUT am I being to hasty to switch sides? I’ve only really gotten into politics the past couple of years.

From reading Dr. Groseclose study on bias in the media it is conclusive that the majority of the MSM have a leftist bias. The reasons he cites for why does not make sense in terms of the war on terror and the "hate bush" campaign of the socialist george soros.

So the question remains, why are they pushing a socialists agenda in AMerica. Why do you believe the media is helping the socialists?

I'm talking good and bad. The checks and balances system ensures that our president does NOT have as much control over issues as we pretend he does. Does the president get blamed for everything in this country, good and bad? Is that fair, or is that just his role as president?
