It seems "mayor" Nagin thinks the insanely high murder rate in N'Orleans isn't so bad after all! It draws attention to N'Orleans! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????!!!
This is the same putz that refused to follow the LAW and the City Charter which states very clearly that the mayor is to use ALL means public and private to evacuate the city in the even of an emergency. We know the reality and thousands of school busses sat flooded in lots while thousands of N'Orleans residents stayed home and cried waiting for big mama gubmint to rescue them!!! Then they blamed the feds and the prez for their idiocy!!!
Lefties, is this your idea of tolllllllllllerant and open miiiiiiiinded thinking? Murder rates drawing attention to a city and keeping it in public discourse is a GOOD Thing?
esplain por favor.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Mayor Ray Nagin said he worries that killings send the message that the city is dangerous, but the news also "keeps the New Orleans brand out there."

Tancredo, Obama...I thought Obama was anti-war?

I swear these politicians and their handlers are completely out of touch. As if they think that's what Americans want to hear right now!

Just who are these people running these campaigns anyways? Israelis? I think they must be from some other country because they sure can't be regular Americans running these politicians' campaigns.

post 9/11 is there even a difference between the two parties or is it aimless bickering for the sake of tradition.

As a non-American, I find it hard to believe. The man has the 'gift' of not being able to put a simple sentence together.
This leads me to one of two conclusions:
1. Harvard is way over-rated.
2. Drugs and alcohol have fried Bush's brain.
Which is the correct one?

Think about it. Back then, they had electricity and gasoline. They had jobs. They only had to worry about soldiers or secret police from their government invading their houses and carrying people away. Now they have to worry about being shot by Americans or kidnapped, bombed, shot or beheaded by one fo the ethnic factions in Iraq. Under Saddam, they had to worry about being taken away from their homes and tortured in an Iraqi prison; under U.S. occupation, they have to worry being taken away from their homes to Guantanamo or a "black site" in some other country for questioning under torture by American "contractors." Under Saddam, they had stability of a sort. After the American invasion, stability is a distant mirage.

If I were an Iraqi, I would be getting all misty-eyed and nostalgic about the "good old days" under Saddam. Life was simpler and better back then. "Freedom," "democracy," and the right to drink Coca Cola isn't all it's cracked up to be.

What are your opinions?

Have you seen any coverage of this in the MSM (Main Stream Media)?

Are you aware of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “The Conquest of the West: The Islamists' Secret Project”?

I have heard that the president will send out a letter (probably a generic form letter) to any U.S. citizens turning 100 years old. My great grandmother is turning 100 in a few weeks. Does anybody know any more specifics on this? Could you point me in the right direction?

Please leave all political views outside. I don't care for the president, but this is for my grandmother, not for me.

There is a bill that has been proposed and I am trying to get my states represenatives to get on board with this bill. It is a bill to hand out a congressional medal of honor. I am going to do my part in my community to get hand signed signatures, but is there an effective online way that I can reach out for help to family and friends in other states?

you are homophibic or a hate mongar. I answered a recent question as to why Republicans may not have attended the LOGO debate. I stated that because they may not agree with that lifestyle they may not have attended. Furthermore that they have the right to stand up for their principles and points of view. For this I was called a homophobe.

I don't condone the lifestyle but I certainly don't dislike someone because they choose that lifestyle. I have worked with gay people and as long as they don't force their beliefs on me... just as I wouldn't force mine on them, its no problem. I don't mind discussing their lifestyle if they don't mind discussing mine. Point is, I can disagree with you politically or spiritually or about sports and so on... It doesn't mean I don't like you or I despise you. I have liberal friends... its all good!

Nowadays, it is easier than ever to get in college, especially if you are a minority. I see so many inner city families sitting on the step all day long, and I wonder why they are stuck in poverty? Why don't they do something with themselves instead of just sitting there or just walking the streets?

Is there something our government could do to get things rolling?

to have to report his end-of-year tax payments to the press?

And is this mentioning of it each year supposed to be some kind of assurance to the general public that yes, indeed, the President does have to pay taxes as well as the rest of us?

I don't ever remember the press mentioning Clinton's tax payments each April. But then again, I wasn't watching or listening to the news as often as I do now, back then.
