I've seen many people attempt to down-play the very real threat from Radical Islamists . They say everything from "Oh it's only grandstanding by politicians" . . . . . . all the way to the other side of the coin when people say " I'm ready and we have arms to protect our family " . . . . . Well , both are wrong and I'll address the 'naysaying grandstanders' first .

Naysayers -- Would you tell your family and your neighbors that it's only 'grandstanding' ? And if so , then : Who's the fool if / when it does happen ? Who will people call a jerk for misleading them like that ? And more importantly : What will you say to your family and neighbors if something does happen ? Sorry ? Ya think 'sorry' is gonna help ?

Now the folks who say they're armed and safe : Oh really ? So you think Terrorists will hang around long enough for you to shoot them ? Did you forget that they also blow-up themselves ? And what if it happens at a mall , or elsewhere ? Do you have your gun with you there ?

Demographically, when ranked by wealth I live in the 40th wealthiest county in the USA. Inside this county I live with the confines of the number 1 school district. Why am I underwhelmed by the quality of education my child is receiving? Does anyone have any thoughts as to America's long term economic competitiveness with this obviously substandard education system? I was recently told by a school administrator that it was unreasonable to expect a child to read by first grade (my child could read at four) and in addition it was unreasonable to expect a child to have full command of a second language by sixth grade. Why the overall lack of ambition?

No matter what party wins 08, they will be handicapped by fixing the Bush disasters, 3.5 trillion in increased debt, manifestation of BUsh foreign policy, etc...

Wouldn't a person who would want that job have to be completely insane? Would you seriously trust anyone who would essentially be a proxy for Bush's third term?

while flying the confederate flag?

ANY REAL LINCOLN REPUBLICAN WOULD HAVE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST IT

Political considerations color the divergent views of presidential candidates on whether the Confederate flag should be moved from the State House grounds. For Republicans competing in the Feb. 2, 2008, GOP primary, where white voters will hold sway, the flag is a state issue that the candidates are not eager to discuss. On the Democratic side, where half or more of the voters in the Jan. 29, 2008, primary will be black residents, candidates have no qualms about calling for the flag’s removal.

Why did the four liberal Supreme Court Justices vote to ALLOW schools to judge incoming students based on the COLOR of their skin?

http://www.edweek.org/ew/collections/scotus-race/index.html

Personally, I am proud that I voted for President Bush, because he appointed two new justices who have made a stand for racial EQUALITY, you know, the idea where all people are equal, and are not judged by the color of their skin.

Shame on those liberal judges, and shame on the Democratic candidates for President, who actually SUPPORTED the vote for racial discrimination.

Judge Roberts summed it up the best:

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

al-Qaida is.

WMD - Bush / AIPAC lies
Saddam's role in 9/11 - Bush / Neocon lies
al-Qaida - Better / stronger than ever.

Thanks Bush, Project for a New American Century, AIPAC and the rest of the Neocons for wasting a Trillion $ and over a hundred thousand total killed in Iraq while we let the terrorists get stronger than ever before.

Dr. Ron Paul warned you years ago of this threat.

What would be conservatives and democrates opinion of someone (fairly highly qualified) who cannot get a job (because of high levels of male unemployement)in their own area, and they cannot afford to leave or travel?

Do parties have any practical solutions?

Would you be against paying them a lot more benefit to get out and set up somewhere else?

Or would you do everything possible to prevent this and let them rot.

I spent 20 minutes last night refuting some lefty's question about how Bush cut taxes for the rich and screwed the poor. I had real data and comparisons that showed the rich paying even more taxes than under Clinton.

Then I go to check this morning for reactions to my answer, only to find the question has been deleted. This is not the first time this has happened.

Why don't they have the guts to just leave their questions up to show how stupid they were?

The GAO just did an undercover sting in which they were able to obtain a licence for nuclear material without appearing in person, in 28 days. The licence was mailed to a UPS store. They then altered the document and were able to successfully purchase enough nuclear material to build a dirty bomb.

Looks like our security priorities are a little screwed up.

Environmentalists silent on threat from water tainted with estrogen

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56623

When they netted 123 trout and other fish downstream from the city's sewer plant, they found 101 were female, 12 were male, and 10 were strange "intersex" fish with male and female features.

The main culprits were found to be estrogens and other steroid hormones from birth-control pills and patches that ultimately ended up in the creek after being excreted in urine into the city's sewers.

If you're killing mosquitoes to save people from the West Nile virus, you can count on secular environmentalists to lay down in front of the vapor truck, claiming some potential side effect that might result from the spray." "But if birth control deforms fish – backed by the proof of an EPA study – and threatens the drinking supply, mum will be the word."

54 percent of congress thinks that that Bush is probably guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. So how can Pelosi and democratic candidates run and bet on success in 2008 on Bush's criminal activities, without at LEAST attempting to bring this to justice? Is our country and it's constitution so irrelevant that we ignore that justice should be served?

This is what our lame duck president said:

The president also said that, while al-Qaida remains a threat to the United States, it has been hurt by his war on terrorism and is "weaker today than they would have been" otherwise. He spoke as a new U.S. threat assessment found that al Qaida had rebuilt its capability to mount attacks to levels not seen since 2001.
