and drug-addled 60's hippies still pining for those glory days of their failed marxist "revolution?"

I mean really, what spectacle.

Did you know that International ANSWER is an avowed Communist organization and is merely a frontgroup for the Stalinist Workers World Party?

Did you know that Code Pink is run by avowed Communists?

There are times, it seems, people get offended when someone speaks the truth. And the speaker is castigated and sometimes fired. Which is more important, the truth or people's right to not be offended?

Mrs. Clinton refuses to say she'll pull the troops out. Will there be demonstrations?

Mrs. Bill Clinton now says that when she gets elected, she will not withdraw our troops from Iraq, or even set a date for their withdrawl.

This was a town hall meeting and let me remind you that Atlanta is far from being your average ''southern town".

ATLANTA POORLY REPRESENTED ON ESPN TOWN HALL MEETING

I hope many of you managed to see that Sports Center special on ESPN last night. I was one of the panelists discussing "The Michael Vick Divide." The experience was very enjoyable, but I must admit that I was shocked by a good portion of the audience at the Sydney Marcus auditorium at the Georgia World Congress Center. Where did they get those people? (Well, not all of them .. but a good portion of them.) They were booing former Falcons defensive standout Chuck Smith for saying that Michael Vick committed a felony and had to pay the price, and when the moderator asked the audience to show by their applause whether or not dog fighting should be legal, the overwhelming response was that it should! Are these people serious? Dog fighting should be legal?
I'm sorry, but I can't help but thing that the audience there last night embarrassed Atlanta and themselves.

I took this from Neal Boort’s site and there is a poll asking the question above.

I am talking about on yahoo. People think that "Yahoo is violating my first amendment right to free speech" if their questions gets deleted, or reported.
The First Amendment of the Constitution starts with "CONGRESS shall make no law"
Yahoo, and other posters on here are NOT Congress!!!
Is this such a tough concept to understand??

Thank You!!

From an article about the Iranians being upset with Bollinger's treatment of that madman Ahmadinejad:

In their letter, the university chancellors asked Bollinger to provide responses to 10 questions ranging from: "Why did the U.S. support the bloodthirsty dictator Saddam Hussein" during the 1980-88 Iraq-Iran war, to "Why has the U.S. military failed to find al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, even with all its advanced equipment?"

when the conserv's continue to keep people like Limbaugh and O'Reilly on the air? These two are the most biased, hypocrital and disagreeable clowns, that keep putting irrational ideas and thoughts into the heads of their political party. Both parties cannot come to terms if one side has the take it or leave it attitude that the right possess. One is a drug addict, the other is a pompous perve. Good, reliable resources you got there.

I was impressed by his depth of intelligence, sense of social fairness, and his commitment to working for change in peaceful and fair ways through dialogue.

So read a number of articles about him on-line, and how he has successfully made many changes in his country since his election. Changes that were opposed by many powerful organizations outside of his country.

My question... shouldn't the US be looking for an American leader who reflects those qualities, and why can't we seem to find one?

The "gap" between the top and bottom MLB team in terms of W/L % will be smaller this year than it has been in 25 years. That means more parity, more equality. But wins and losses within a league are a zero sum game.

The economy is not. Entry-level people make a bit more in constant dollars than entry-level people did a generation ago. People at the peak of their careers make a lot more. And most entry-level people will progress in their careers - I make more than most of my high school classmates do, 20 years after we graduated - but the gap between what we ALL make now and what today's high school graduates make right out of school is a lot greater than the gaps among the same class....

And we keep importing poor people - I don't want to deport them but please stop calling it "American poverty" when we import poor people at 4 times the rate at which we're increasing the total number of poor people!

Anyone who follows my Q&A on Y!A knows that I pledge allegiance to NO party, though I lean to the right.

I found this article quite interesting. Here is an excerpt of it:

The GOP keeps blowing a big opportunity by ignoring blacks. And what about the debate sponsored by Spanish language TV station Univision? Only McCain accepted the invite.

Today's generation of blacks and Latinos shouldn't be seen as the same as their parents. An increasing number of people are refusing to identify themselves with a party, and looking at issues. Latinos have been a huge part of the Republican outreach, but the immigration debate is turning that in a different direction.

Why should the GOP talk to black voters, and what would they talk about?

(1) Do you think he should get away with that, in court?

(2) Do you think it would change people's minds about his being gay, if he should succeed? (In other words, do you think many people would be gullible enough to fall for that?)

BTW -- I have no ax to grind, personally, on this issue, since I'm "straight." However, as an egalitarian ALLY of the gay community, and a defender of their right to have across-the-board access to EQUAL rights (including totally-harmless same-sex-marriage), I **loathe** Senator Craig's blatant HYPOCRISY. Which is why I wonder how you feel about the above two questions.

YA used to be a halfway decent source of political information. Now the only thing on here is biased bull crap that people hear on the TV ranting about NeoCons or Liberal aholes just to fuel the fire. Blaming one side or the other with no logical reasoning what so ever. People that have the mental capacity to discuss politics rationaly are being run off or corrupted. I don't mind hearing peoples opinions, i'm giving you mine right now, but throw out some evidence before you say that Republicans are more dangerous than Hitler.

It's this one-sided thinking by both sides that is tearing our great country apart, everybody has to be right.

I challenge everyone that reads this too give the other side a chance and hear them out.

The French government has publically condemned Iran's nuclear program as a threat to world peace and stability.Specifically, the French have stated that the aquisistion of nuclear arms by Iran is unacceptable and they have called for further UN sanctions against Iran.I'm wondering what the Liberal spin/thoughts are on this.Should the world take positive steps to keep Iran from developing nuclear power and the resultant fissionable(weapons grade) material?
