I am not talking about changing criteria or anything else, but if you had a candidate for a job or school who was equal in every way to another student, do you think it is OK to use gender or race as the determining factor? Why or why not?

A convicted drunk driver who "found god".

With a reputation for being "not all there" in the first place.

Just like George W. Bush.

Let the personal attacks and non-answers begin.......NOW!

From the Middle Earth Journal Online Pamphleteers



The battle over the Immigration Bill continues. It is seen as a war of us against them. Many in the Republican base think the 'them' are the hoards of brown skinned men, women and children form Central America - they are wrong. The 'us' is the American middle class and the 'them' are the feudal corporate overlords who wish to destroy the American middle class. Now they have shipped nearly every job they can off to third world countries to avoid paying a decent wage and to escape those inconvenient safety laws. There are some jobs that just can't be outsourced like the ones at the Del Monte plant in North Portland that was raided last week. Nine out of ten of the workers supplied to Del Monte by American Staffing Resources was illegal. I for one cannot believe that Del Monte management was not aware of this but they are the 'real' criminals here but will go unpunished. The Del Monte raid gives us even more insight as to why corporations are willing to hire illegals - working conditions and worker safety. more http://ronbeas2.blogspot.com/

Daily, or weekly, and of substantive time. Maybe we would get more involved with our leaders again, instead of relying on, nationally recognized, but untrained, except in shock jock tactics meant to titillate the public, and, bring in more $'s.

I'm not asking whether or not he's a good president (personally i don't think he is). I just want to know what impact he has had on the world, be it positive or negative.

After seeing the ongoings of Bohemian Grove- mock human sacrifice, worship of giant owl gods, wearing weird robes and chanting pagan rituals- I can't help but think that anyone who attends is far from christian. So if Bush and friends go, does this mean they are hiding theyre true beliefs from the public? And shouldn't this be discussed by the media?

The Libby Legal Defense Trust, backed by former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and other prominent Republicans, has raised more than $5 million to help Libby defray his legal costs, The Politico has learned, with contributions of as little as $5 coming from grass-roots conservatives.

Mary Matalin, the vice president’s former counselor, wrote direct-mail letters raising more than $1 million, and she has promoted a Libby fundraising website during her frequent radio and TV appearances.

Perjury - a conservative republican Value
Members of the party of responsibility and integrity do not want to be held responsible for anything and have absolutely no integrity. And to think they used "no underlying crime" to fire up the base, to justify a republican party leader's lying to a federal prosecutor.

Oh, if there were no underlying crime why did scooter HAVE to lie?

Because things didn't go 'his way', he says, "We must do something about this!" What does he mean by that?

Was it talk radio or is it because most of us are simply outraged at the way our government is handling this?

And libs, stop and contemplate HOW and WHY you can say what you want about our President without consequences.

Truthfully, I don't like Bush anymore than any one of you do but you guys are disgustingly disrespectful.

A republican Senator visited Iraq a few months ago. He spoke with soldiers from his state. One told him that when an Iraqi officer told a few of his men that he was Catholic, they stoned him to death. People, maybe Iraq is NOT READY to be a stable nation willing to trade its "beliefs" in for compromise and a constitutional government dedicated to stability. It is time to go...

In the current political climate, in which Richard Nixon, and Barry Goldwater would be considered far to the left of center, all media (internet, radio, print and televised) are owned and operated by multibillionares who can label moderate conservatism as radical liberalism, and old pseudo-scientific arguments espousing the genetic inferiority of blacks and poor people are once again gaining credence. What forces, if any are likely to rebalance the equation and restore some compassion and reason to public dialogue?

SO the police rushed in and saved the rest of the family from this man .
Then they stayed to make sure that mom did not bring home any more bad men .
She sold her only resource and tried to feed and cloth the kids as best she could for years and the police had often come to her aid .
But now the police wanted her resources and this time after they saved her and the 26 million kids they decided to stay .
Some of the kids did not like this and began attacking the police who shot and killed them .

Do you get my point or not .

Are we forgetting how we won ww2 . Fire bombing entire cities . This worked .
Vietnam and Korea failed with the kinder and genteeler war which tried to win the hearts and minds of the people .

The only kind of war that wins is the kind that bombs people till they say ok we will do whatever you want please stop killing us . Then for good measure a few more deaths, hangings ,and trials to keep the people in line .

A permanent occupation like we have in Germany will not work in Iraq till we bomb them into complete submission .

'If americans were smarter, wouldn't you be leading in the polls'- Bill Maher to Ron Paul. A good point. But I guess a national debt of 12 trillion dollars doesn't motivate someone today as it is the problem of tommorow, right? Look up fractional reserve banking, research the legitimacy of the Federal reserve and the income tax (don't believe the lies about the 12th amendment- its all crap), and then tell others.

One company, Exxon, makes NET PROFIT over a $100 Million Dollars a DAY
And the US Government subsidizes them...Not only don't they pay any taxes but the US Government gives them money..Their current Net Profit for last couple of years has been over one hundred million dollars a day, A friggin' DAY..Net Profit....Only one of the oil companies. Add all the rest up and the Daily amount of Net Profit is absolutely staggering...
......But they won't build a $3 bil refinery because it's "too expensive" without tax $$.........exxon mobil is still on government subsidized corporate welfare........
and then has the gaul to screw the consumers that pay for it.

What do you think?

Should we have An all out attack on clerics which is needed to prevent the spread of terrorism .
We should target Mosques and religious schools who are educating the next generation of terrorists and feeding the current generation with support for their actions .
Seems these religious sites are used as meeting places for terrorist groups and spawn new groups incited by the leaders of the church .
