They are going to be deployed for a year so it can't just be for the big protest next month. Something smells here people.

prepared to enlist and possibly die for the cause? How many Iraq war supporters are NOT prepared to enlist and risk their life for the cause? How many Iraq war supporters are willing to allow others to enlist and possibly die, instead, for a cause they support? Where should patriots stand when your President and your military calls them to stand with them?

Nugent seems to have deferred the draft in a more conventional manner. Now he wants to run for Governor of Michigan and has gone on record calling Barack Obama a piece of **** and Hiliary Clinton a ***** for being against the War in Iraq. He loves guns and says that we should bomb Iraq.

"Unbelievable. Meth," he replies, in a tone of deep sarcasm. "Yes, that's my drug of choice. You've got to realise that these interviewers would arrive with glazed eyes and I would make stories up. I never did crystal meth. And I never pooped my pants."
"But you did dodge the draft."
"I had a 1Y [student deferment]. I enrolled at Oakland Community College."

A demonstration has been held in south- east Afghanistan accusing US troops of insulting Islam after they distributed footballs bearing the name of Allah.

The balls showed the Saudi Arabian flag which features the Koranic declaration of faith.

The US military said the idea had been to give something for Afghan children to enjoy and they did not realise it would cause offence.

The footballs were dropped from a helicopter in Khost province.

Some displayed flags from countries all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, which features the shahada, one of the five pillars of Islam - the declaration of faith.

I do not mean who you WANT to see win, or who's ideas are best, but which official can try and unite us as Americans, and not divide us as libs/cons??
Clinton and Bush, whatever you think of them, are VERY polarizing figures. Reagan is a polarizing figure.
Bush I, not so much as the other three.
I do not feel there was the HATRED for him as some have had for the other three. Agree?

Since about 1974 the human rights of America has been lessened, a little at a time. Until Torture is deemed suitable. Congress took away the Right to have a case heard by the US Supreme Court, by legislation.

Most of our 1957-1964 Civil Rights cases went all the way to the US Supreme Court before Being Heard.

Around 1974 the Supreme Court magically made accused criminals magically responsible to be better than a lawyer. That is they removed the right to appeal because they didn't know the laws, or ineffective counsel.

This was extended into Civil Laws by Courts proclaiming self-representing people must be knowledgeable at filing procedures or lose-without a hearing. Self-representing people are often those who cannot afford a lawyer.

I say Its time to turn the Courts back to protecting Human Rights. And not just swing that way for 20 years, but to impose lasting improvements.

The Poor or us underpaid, must have a voice to bring about a Civil Rights haven

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, who has voted against gay marriage and opposes extending special protections to gay and lesbian crime victims, finds his political future in doubt after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges stemming from complaints of lewd conduct in a men's room.

According to the prosecutor's complaint, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, airport police Sgt. Dave Karsniam, who was investigating allegations of sexual conduct in airport restrooms, went into a stall shortly after noon on June 11 and closed the door.

Minutes later, the officer saw Craig gazing into his stall through the crack between the stall door and the frame, fidgeted with his fingers and returned to gazing through the stall for about another two minutes.

It is ok for Politicians to behave in this manner? What happened to keeping these things in your own home, behind closed doors, have they no shame?

Currently, "special ed" kids (ADHD psychos and young criminals) study in the mainstream schools disrupting discipline and downgrading SAT scores.
Should they be assigned to special schools with adequate curriculum and discipline enforcement, just like 2 types of Soviet schools:
- "special ed" for imbeciles
- juvenile labor camps for young criminals.

So what do you think about this statement from Obama?

"There are some very capable Republicans who I have a great deal of respect for," Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press. "The opportunities are there to create a more effective relationship between parties."

Among the Republicans he would seek help from are Sens. Richard Lugar of Indiana, John Warner of Virginia and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Obama said.

are we then encouraging politicians to set the bar as LOW as possible when it comes to personal conduct?

No, we don't want hypocrites around, running things and telling people what to do.

But humans have failings. And some ideas are worth fighting for, even though their proponents are imperfect. Bill Clinton, for example, had a history of sexually harassing women, but does that make the feminist ideals he espoused not worth fighting for?

I'm confused here. What do we want from our elected leaders? (Not breaking laws would be a start!)

When a conservative is found to be a hypocrite, deviant and criminal, other conservatives decry them as such.

When a lib is snared in a similar manner, other libs stand up and celebrate the behavior.

We've only got 400 days left. Should the USA just attack all three and let the Democrats sort the mess out later?

Do not assume I think the answer is yes.

As far as I know, NO major candidate on either the Republican or Democratic side supports same-sex marriage.

So if they are gay (or lesbian) themselves, would you support "outing" them to expose hypocrisy? Or is it nobody's business?

Thanks!

PS I am straight. Don't hate me - I was born this way! :)

The number of poor people continues to rise at about the same rate as growth of our total population.

But that's not because people are moving down - it's because people are moving UP - - but being replaced more than 1 for 1 with NEW poor people from other countries, who have come here either legally or illegally.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6214022/site/newsweek/

This may be an indictment of our immigration policy - or lack thereof - but it is NOT an indictment of our economic policy.

These people didn't start out in the US and BECOME poor here - they were poor somewhere else - typically a country where there is LESS of a free market in place - and CAME here.

And by and large even THEY move up over time.
