My objectives would be to forward equal rights for white male Americans.
I would work to:
1. End the racist "Affirmative Action" policies.
Thus allowing equal opportunities for education and employment for all Americans.

2. Work to strike all "Hate Crime" legislation. Making criminal sentencing equal regardless of race.

Let's see..someone is shot....nobody knew if the gunmen was still around....dude shows up with shotgun, protects and aides woman...saves her life....gets fired!!! now that's liberalism for ya!!

Tonnetta Lee survived Tuesday's pre-dawn shooting at her Jacksonville apartment, and her sister and a neighbor praised Bruley's actions. But his employers, the same people who own the Arlington complex where Bruley lives, reacted differently. They fired him.

Bruley, a leasing agent at the Oaks at Mill Creek, said he lost his job after being told that brandishing the weapon was a workplace violation, as was failing to notify supervisors after the incident occurred. He'd worked at the Monument Road complex since December and for the owner, Village Green Cos., since 2005.

Hamas was elected by the Palestinians. Immediately after the legit election, Palestine is slammed with sanctions by the international comunity in hopes to turn the Palestinians on Hamas, which didn't work. With the Hamas and Fatah fighting, Hamas finally decided to form a coalition between Fatah and Hamas to prevent a civil war in Palestine. While the coalition is in place, Israel is arming the Fatah for whatever reason, maybe a military coup. Recently, even though Israel had been arming the Fatah, Hamas easily kicked out the Fatah probably to prevent a potential Fatah coup. Abbas then safe in the West Bank, declared a state of emergency and doesn't recognize Fatah or Hamas, even though he isn't the prime minister.

Anyways, now the story is being played out as if Hamas is a terrorist group when in actuality Abbas has illegally crowned himself king, which the U.S. and Israel are backing by getting rid of sanctions for only the West Bank, and not Gaza which is controlled by Hamas.

Can anyone tell me in simple terms the recent history of the present troubles starting with say the elections last year?

51% to 49% does NOT mean Dems control Congress.

Dems tend to not tow the party line quite like Republicans. This means that Republicans are required to pass off on bills if they ever hope to pass them in both the House and the Senate.

Then Dumbya vetoes it. That means that 2/3 majority is needed to override the President's veto.

With a 51% to 49% lead, they'll never have 2/3 majority.

A one or two percent difference between the number of seats a party holds is not enough to control and dominate Congress, such as the Republicans enjoyed for the last 7 years.

7 years of not getting a damn thing done I might add.

Many illegal immigrants are building the fence that is supposed to keep others from crossing the border. That's really ironic to me...

While watching the prapaganda machine we call "tv",or while reading any one of the countless, spineless Bush bashing newspapers, its quiet obvious the terrorist are doing there job.. it is well documented that the middle east will use the American Media to win a war, or to attempt to win one. this is the only chance they have. they count on us to be divided. the terrorist are not engaged in a "war" this is why they are resorting to the tactics that they are using..they have studied the ways to divide the Western World..As we all argue this point against that , left vs right, dem. vs rep. vs libs., we are falling into the plans of our enemies. The taliban and other worthless cowardly fighters, have said, "DUMB AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING ON TV", i for one am not a dumb American, until we all unite and become one, the victory in the middle east will only get prolonged. Fires We Don't Put Out Today, Will Forever Burn..

. Lord Falconer is planning to ease overcrowding by releasing 2,000 prisoners early Yet it was only six weeks ago that the government said they wouldn't have to resort to these measures. Is this the right way to deal with the crisis? Who is to blame for the current overcrowding? Is it cost effective to the taxpayer or endangering the public?

I just want to know why you support the man. I especially want to hear what your reactions are to the scandals (scooter, Alberto, missing emails, war in Iraq, etc.). I am looking for informed, mature, relevant ideas and not just what was spit up by Sean Hannity & Co. Please indulge me in this small favor

However you feel about anyone burning the American flag for any purpose, do you feel the same way or differently about burning the flag of an individual state? Would it offend you any more or less if your own state's flag was burned?

Would you support an amendment to your state's constitution to ban the practice? What if the flag was burned in another state?

For example, suppose you lived in Ohio and your neighbor burned an Arkansas flag. Would it matter to you? Would you support Ohio banning the practice of flag burning, or just burning the Ohio flag?

Airplanes pollute the air a lot. I think a lot more than cars. What do you think can be done about it? What are the technologies? I have no doubt that the threat of global warming is real.

I remember liberals being so happy! Now what?

Impeach Bush? Nah, Pelosi said is off the table and she'd "work" with him

Iraq war? Still business as usual.

Rolling back Bush's tax laws? Nope!

Democrats pretending like they have never heard of the North American Union with it's plan to merge Canada, Mexico and the US into a country without borders? Of course!

Going right along with Bush's amnesty bill for millions of illegals? Absolutely!

What a joke.

I heard that the electric car was already invented but the government bought the patent and are sitting on it. This is just a rumor I'm sure but can any of you that know more about this help me out? I am so tired of gas prices going up and up and up, is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Mark of the Beast

Revelations 13:16--

"And [the Antichrist] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save [except] he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."



Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13:16-18 KJV

So according to this passage in the Bible the Antichrist will force everyone to accept a mark in either the right hand or forehead of the wearer. Without this mark you won't be able to buy or sell."

What are your INSTINCTS about this?

as a moderate on either side it seems like a win-win situation with the current frontrunners. Not like last time with Bush and Kerry, that was more like "should i shoot myself in the leg, or cut my arm off with a hacksaw?"

Look at the riots over Salman Rushdie.

Liberals think we are the bad guys trying to stop them from taking over the world.

Oh well like you to consider their views of Free Speech and what kind of speech they will give you if given a chance.
