I heard Bush is going to initiate marshal law next year. Some sort of catastrophe so he can stay in power. If he doesn't he will be investigated by the next president republican or democrat. so bush has to stop any further elections.

I keep hearing about marshal law and some major attack on the U.S. to make this marshal law happen.

why?

why is Bush doing this? I am very very scared. The military is out of the U.S. pre-occupied in Iraq. how conveinent is that?

But what can we do to save America? why would Bush ever do such un-belieavable things? it is so unbeleable that it is crazy sounding. but so was 911 it sounded crazy but it happend.

we as Americans are helpless. the democrats got elected to stop bush and they wont.

I feel so helpless as an american. I am sscared. my brother was killed in Iraq. what can we do for the country? Why won't Bush stop this?

God help all of us. Please it is scary.

most of you know I lost my brother in Iraq. Not a day goes by that the pain fills us up so much. But we are so angry too. We trusted Bush and my brother is gone. My brothe and 3700 soldiers are dead in vain.

Can't the troops please come home and not die for Bush's lie? Since Bush has blackwater why can't the troops come home?

Why should honest loving sooldeirs die in vain. Bush hired Blackwater. Why do more patriotic soldiers need to be killed for Bush's lie?

Please bring the troops home and let them live. Support the troops ALIVE not dead.

Please in my brothers name I beg you all to save the lives of the troops and bring them home. Please?

isn't the notion of a prvate militia unconstituional in the United States?

furthemore since our tax dollars are paying for black water- how come congress has no idea how much money is being funneled to them by by Bush?

Apparenlty bush did his homework on hitler. because blackwater is the modern day S.S. on steroids.

note- bush considers blackwater not a militia but rather, "SECURITY" see below link

"Project Checkmate, a successor to the group that planned the 1991 Gulf War’s air campaign, was quietly reestablished at the Pentagon in June.

It reports directly to General Michael Moseley, the US Air Force chief, and consists of 20-30 top air force officers and defence and cyberspace experts with ready access to the White House, the CIA and other intelligence agencies."

Does anyone have any idea where the plane that went down in Pennsylvania was headed to? I've heard many different answers...

AND

Was that plane, flight 93, shot down or crashed? I know the official report is that is crashed, but they found pieces of the plane miles away...that doesn't happen if a plane crashes.

My aunt is 89 years old, she has never had a liscence before and she has no government issued pic id. She needs to get her birth certificate from TX, but they want a gov pic id, and when she goes to dmv, they tell her that they can't giver her one unless she has a birth certificate. How do we solve this? The birth certificate she has, is soo old that no one can see the writing, (it's from 1918!) It was legiable enough 35 years ago to get Social Security started. Another problem is we are in CA and we are dealing with everything over the phone in El Paso, TX. HELP!!!

the government was able to integrate the buses and schools. Sadly, only the government can enforce gun control. Washington will never be safe till we have nation-wide gun control. It you want something else to read, click here -

Does it remind you of another culture, far, far away of say Oh, the middle eastern muslim kind?
Could it be that the CONS have more in common with radical muslims than they realize?

Chris Wallace Fox News. Now, Sunday am. When asked will you run he states after a week of workshops he is sending out advisors to see if the public will back him. And if he can get up to 30 mil for a decent campaign. What would you say?
Hillary was on also. That is another post. More flip flops. It started with Bill's finger pointing last visit on set with Chris Wallace.
Thanks.

i get the feeling that 99 percent of them take the attitude of john edwards, that the war on terror is just a bumper sticker...do you have any idea how dangerous that approach to terror is? can any liberal explain why we should NOT worry about their approach to truly dangerous situations like the one we see developing with syria and israel??

Why is the U.S. investing crap amounts of money into energy research while blowing massive amounts in on a war which, through pathetic attempts to "democratize" a region, is instead simply securing our non-renewable energy (oil) for maybe the next 10 or so years? Why are we building roads for cars that run on oil that we won't have soon? Don't people realize the oil's actually going to run out? Why is there no discussion of or interest in this huge and obvious problem?

Still, apparently we Americans are just too good to ride our bikes to work anymore in spite of the fact that Americans, who comprise less than 5 percent of the world's population, suck up more than 25 percent of its energy.

A friend and I went to an all you can eat restuarant to have dinner. He can be a little picky about his surroundings. He does not like to eat beside families with small children and he does not like eating near loud teenagers. (I can somewhat understand). When we sat to eat we moved from one table near small children (ages 1 and three) to another table.

A family sat beside us with a "mentally challenged" daughter. She looked like she was 10 years old and my friend wanted to move again b/c he said looking at her made his stomach turn. At this point, I drew the line. I told him that his behavior was "snooty," childish, cruel and unnecessary. He was angry at me b/c he said that I was being rude for not respecting his wishes and I was trying be controlling. To make along story short, we ended up moving b/c the argument became a little heated and the family was beginning to notice.

QUESTION FOR YOU
Was I wrong for taking up for the family instead of moving right away!

I live in Las Vegas and when listening to the old timers who lived here the longest all agree on the same thing:

The place was sure better when the mob ran things.

They complain about how the crime went up through the roof, how bad things are and everything in general since the corporations and US goverment took over.

Isn't interesting to hear that the Mafia actually was able to run a city goverment better then our actual goverment? Isn't rather sad?

< As topic reads, would the world be better or worse without America?

Oh, and it helps (not to mention makes for a fun read) if you back your answer up with an explanation, maybe some weighing in on history (what America did right vs. what it did wrong), etc... instead of just an answer.

My dad told me about a situation that happened between him and a doctor yesterday.

He has been diagnosed as having high cholesteral and the doctor wrote him a prescription for a popular drug to control it. The doctor warned him however, that one of the possible side effects of the drug is that in certain people, it will case extreme muscule degeneration, which will in turn cause the destroyed tissue to travel by blood to the kidneys, which will also be destroyed. There is no way to forsee this until after it has happened, eventually leading to a paralysis-type state or death.

My dad refused the medication and has no other options as diet and exercise do not work either.

Now, what you need to realize is that, when looking at the many proposed frameworks for a Nationalized Healthcare Program, EVERY ONE will require that if a doctor prescribes medication, you do not have the right to refuse it.......

It's sad that I have to say that, but it's only coming from experience...anyway what do you think about the fact that we've literally "lost" 9 billion dollars and 190,000 automatic weapons in Iraq? Is this still somehow a good thing because it happened during Bush's war?
