Poor people are under constant assault for being lazy but how productive are the Paris Hilton's and Jena Bush's of the world?

Consider this:
For those that are on welfare, it is like a full time job to get assistance. The lines go around the block and it can take up to four days just to fill a prescription or get a loaf of bread and there really isn't a cashable check that anyone gets.

For college students, most are taking out loans in hopes that they will get a good enough job to pay them back... but most companies are going over seas for cheaper labor.

For the elderly, how productive are they expected to be at 90?

For the baby-boomers, many of their jobs have been taken by outsourcing, technological innovation and immigrants. They never got to save for a proper retirement which puts their kids who want to go to college immediately in debt.

For the people who are in credit card debt - interest rates and late fees account for 2/3 of what they owe... and the companies still issue cards to them knowing that they are doomed.

when it comes to making terrorists feel welcomed and comfortable?

They don't agree on anything else from energy to social security to taxes to etc..

God forbid... if some terrorist somewhere gets made a little uncomfortable because of the U.S., or if some Muslim terrorist calling from Pakistan to New York gets listened in on in a phone call, or if a border patrol agent shoots an armed drug dealer at the border ... then Allah-shazam! Democrats rush together in front of TV cameras like pigs feeding at a trough.

Why it that?

Who would love to trim the fat and exile political extremists to some distant, barren island?

Rosie O and Ann Coulter could run for queen of the island.

There are so many. Please share your recollections. One recent example is when the dems paraded a 12 year old with parents of means to condemn Bush after his veto. What a show ! Are Americans willing to take that ? Can you name/list any of the other many stunts Pelosi& Co. have tried on the American people the past 12 months ?

This is supposedly an ID card that you are supposed to carry around at all times. I think It may have a GPS chip in it to track people's movements around the world. i know it sound Orwellian but its the truth.

Are they doctors? Are they prepared to deal with the consequences of giving medication to developing girls? Have they discussed the side effects of this with parents or students? And the kids don't have to tell their parents?

Let's take a look at the side effects for Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, which is a very common pill:

Nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.

I'm interested in seeing what people think about the United States' foreign policy when it comes to the Middle East. Spare no one...except for the troops, because it is their choice to serve that gives us the freedom to talk about this in the first place...God Bless the troops and their families for their sacrifice.

I often hear people justify radical Islamists fury with us with complaints of American foreign policy. Most of us are well aware of NUMEROUS American foreign policy blunders but, that awareness does nothing to counter the hot water we as a nation are in now.

On a smaller scale this is similar to really making a dangerous psycho mad (say you cut them off in traffic, flipped them the bird etc.) and you are at fault but, when they come after you to hurt or kill you and your family, you’re not going to throw up your hands and say, “hey man, fire away because I deserve it” are you?

I say no and I would like to think that most of you agree that regardless of Americas past and present foreign policy mistakes in the Middle East in particular we can all agree that we must be prepared to defend ourselves.

A massively empowered Iran with control over the oil fields in the south of Iraq is one of the BEST case scenarios.

A massive Sunni/Shi'ite sectarian war ACROSS THE REGION, oil prices throught the roof and terrorists being bred by the thousand in a failed state is also very possible.

(And for those who don't get it - when dealing with a country whose leader is reliant on democratic election, oil is power)
