While they seem to be wrong on almost everything, including the rule that any members can't disagree with them, why have they never defended a person's second amnedment right??
Do they know that ALL amendments should be protected, or just some, and just for some people??

It really is true that they only champion 'black' causes. But Chloe, Jessie Davis & Bobby Cutts unborn child was half-black. Surely those two fake reverends would find time to demand justice right??

If this was a black pregnant woman killed by her white lover, they would be all over it like they were the Duke Lacrosse team.

Ultimately, no one is to blame for Jessie and her baby's death except the killer, but it seems hypocritical to me that the 'champions of the oppressed' can't take time out of ther busy schedules to demand justice.

They are currently running a poll that you can vote in if you wish. His 'approval' rating is at 14% right now but only approx. 400 people have voted.
What do you think? Yes he has done a good job? or No he has not?

Colonel Bui Tin of the North Vietnamese Army said this,” The American antiwar movement was essential to our strategy", "Visits to Hanoi made by persons such as Jane Fonda, former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and various church ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses", "America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win."

The Tet Offensive in 1968 was a huge military defeat for the North Vietnam Army. This could have signaled the coming ended to the war with an American victory. However, because of the antiwar protest in the U.S. the NVA were emboldened and continued to fight. From 1969 until the end of the war, over 20,000 American soldiers lost their lives in a war that the United States did not have the resolve to win.

Could this be happening today? Could todays protesters be puting our troops in harms way?

For years Ron Paul, being a Gold advocate has recieved lots of attention in the Gold community.
Here is what one reporter recently said:


http://www.kitco.com/ind/nystrom/jun212007.html

Nystrom’s comment on Ron Paul: An interesting character indeed – a rarity in this modern world, he is both a true patriot and an independent thinker. And hell yes he’s entertaining! Ron Paul is the best entertainment value in town. Seeing someone tell the truth in this time of near universal deceit is a rare sight indeed.

By all means keep listening. I have a feeling his entertaining message will start grow on you. And America loves a long shot.

in fact, China and USA are the real "evil axies" !
it is US and China that cooperate to exploit resource-selling countries !

China go on buying US T bond and peg on US dollar. then, US dollar will still be the global-dominant currency.China can earn more and more US dollars because Chinese export can rocket on.

When devalued USD has price of oil and other raw resource raised,the pegged RMB also has the price of Chinese goods raised. So, the rocketing price of oil and other raw resource won't bother China at all .

So,we can see a evil triangle-trade here. USA uses devalued green notes to take trillions of industrial goods
from China. then China uses those devalued green notes to take oil and other raw resource from Africa, MD and other developing countries.

Does it bother anyone else that people hate Bill Clinton because of his affair with Monica Luinski? I realize that a president represents our country. I also realize that what he did was wrong, but what does that have to do with his presidency?! He actually did alot for the country. We have no right to judge him from that PERSONAL mistake!

Economic policy by Republicans has proven worthy (and used by Clinton I hasten to add), and, most social liberal ideals won (woman's rights, civil rights, GOOD social spending programs, etc.), and, yawn, I'm already weary of the rhetoric coming up next year in the big race...it seems to me the old stand by issues should be considered closed, and, the new and exciting one's, left to unfold, what do you think?

More than 800 of them have lost an arm, a leg, fingers or toes. More than 100 are blind. Dozens need tubes and machines to keep them alive. Hundreds are disfigured by burns, and thousands have brain injuries and mangled minds.
More of them are coming home, with injuries of a scope and magnitude the government did not predict and is now struggling to treat.
Back home, concerns grow about care. The Walter Reed hospital scandal and problems with some VA nursing homes.

These are America's war wounded, a toll that has received less attention than the 3,500 troops killed in Iraq. Depending on how you count them, they number between 35,000 and 53,000.

I think the answer is obvious. Each generation has become more tolerant, egalitarian, and has adopted a more live and let live attitude then the previous generation.

"The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them."

Bill Clinton spent his time trying to act cool and have sex with White House interns instead of getting Osama, like he had the opportunity to do 5 times. Many people also forget it is also because of Clinton that most of our blue collared jobs have moved to China and Clinton was a big factor behing globalization, which many foreigners believe is destroying their culture, and is the driving force behind terrorism, caused by normal people who think America is destroying their culture with globalization. One of the main hijackers on 9/11, Mohammed Atta, stated he wanted to destroy America because he saw how American businesses, like McDonald's and Pizza Hut, were being built in ancient cities and he says he hates how his culture was being changed and he also wanted to destroy America because of American support of Israel, but globalization was the bigger factor. If you ask many foreigners, they will agree that globalization is taking away their culture.

The Chungs have prevailed over the judge suing them for $54 Million dollars . The judge gets ZERO and the Chungs get 'Costs' .
Does that mean they only get 'court costs' ?

Can they sue him in civil court for their losses on defense ?.. . . . ..btw it cost them tens of thousands .

And also very important . . . . Will the bar address the competency of the judge who sued them ?

No holy wars, no jihads, no chosen people, no promised lands. It seems that the source of 75% of world conflict is religious in nature. The rest is economic.
