Of course they do, right? Always wanting to give the little guy a leg up? Why I'll bet Barbra Streisand's gardener makes at least 20% more than the guy who trims the flowers of the little people.

"NBA OR NFL?

36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly/indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Neither the NFL nor NBA,
it's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

AND THEY JUST VOTED THEMSELVES $15,000 PER MONTH PENSION FOR LIFE AFTER SERVING ONLY ONE TERM"

American kids get dumber every year, as class sizes get bigger. It's no wonder we have to import Physicists, engineers, and doctors from other countries.

There sure are a lot of people working on creating TV shows and new video games for our kids though.

Who believes the Patriot Act is really honestly being used to fight terrorism? I am aware of only one incident in the news that it was used to gain information on a local business man in Vegas named Mike Gilardi for bribing officials to approve his strip clubs. Many people I know are personally aware of how the Patriot Act was made with loopholes to spy on Americans. Are you aware of any or do you just trust the feds?

Isn't totalitarianism against core socialist principles such as liberty and equality? Why does the central economic, political and social control have to be placed in the hands of an oligarchy rather than the hands of all workers, or even all people?

I see whenever oil companies hit a home run and make a lot of money off of their risky investments, the left always wails for the wonderful "windfall profits tax" to make it all better. Yet curiously, when oil prices are in the dumper and oil companies are struggling, there is no call to help the poor oil companies out. This is just one example.

1. The fighting stops, everyone puts down their guns, while the gov't runs a fair and efficient country, and spends their oil revenues responsibly on the betterment of Iraq.

2. The extremist groups fight until one gains the military advantage to suppress the rest (majority) of the country. The oil revenues are soon controlled by a group who is bent on destroying parts of the world who do not bow down to them, creating another, larger problem/threat for the U.S. and the world.

3. The elected gov't in Iraq is somehow able to put a stop to the fighting between the extremist groups, without the help of the U.S. gov't.

Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.

It restates key sections of a 2000 document the pope wrote when he was prefect of the congregation, “Dominus Iesus,” which set off a firestorm of criticism among Protestant and other Christian denominations because it said they were not true churches but merely ecclesial communities and therefore did not have the “means of salvation.”

This seems a good example of the need for separation of church and state.

I took my elderly mom to the ER last night because two of her doctors were afraid that she had a blood clot and they needed the ER to use their equipment to check it out. She doesn't have a clot, thank God, but oh-my-gosh, what a nightmare being in the ER waiting room for 4 1/2 hours watching all the really sick or injured people, and then seeing other people come in with a mild rash or splinter and yelling at the receptionist because they had to wait so long. The trouble-makers brought their friends, neighbors, neighbors kids, buckets of chicken and bags of other fast food, laughed and partied like it was all a big joke. Why is healthcare so expensive in this country? The people who use medical cards go to the ER for non-emergencies, and then the dr gets paid about 1/10th of what the bill actually is, leaving the rest of us to make up the difference.

I didn't think a soldier was a slave/robot until this war started. Aren't soldiers human beings, thus, aren't they also protected under the Constitution?...then why do they blindly follow a defunct leader who has repeatedly broken international and domestic laws when these men and women know this war is wrong?

Since lefty talk radio is a winner and the only reason it hasn't succeeded is because of evil white man forces, why don't one or more of the wealthy leftys (Soros, Geffen, Simon, take your pick) apply for and recieve a license to start their own lefty radio network? Can't see how the FCC would object to their licenses (the fairness thing) and since it's a sure fire moneymaker of course those leftys would love the huge profits.

I'm trying to understand this movement to get the fairness doctrine reinstated.... Let's see... Americans have a choice of what they listen to on the radio... they have chosen for whatever reason to listen to Limbaugh, et al and chose not to listen to Air America. To me that's just a winner and a loser in the marketplace, just like when a company goes bankrupt because a competitor took its customers away. So, since Americans were too stupid to embrace Air America, we now need legislation that forces those stupid Americans to do the right thing?
