I asked a question earlier today about is talk radio free speech. One responder said that "No because they do not exercise journalistic integrity" and report false information. Is this the same journalistic integrity that:

1) Dan Rather used when he published George W. Bush's fake military records?
2) That Time Magazine reported for the Haditha massacare and our marines are being court marshalled for? If you are unaware, all soldiers have been cleared of charges so far because of poor or one sided reporting. Another soldier was just charged with a bogus charge.

I don't think any journalist has any integrity anymore. They just want the story!

Also - do not let welfare moms have more than 1 child. Do not let them keep having them without fathers present so they do not have to work. This pretty much describes the city of Milwaukee.
If all the able-bodied people on welfare worked and contributed to society, wouldn't this be a better place?

Was it in the army report that they were also torturing children,
that it's allowed to torture children in front of their parents, with pliers, even sexually?

That there is even proof of them torturing children?

If you say "no" could you please supply proof?

At a bipartisan Ways and Means caucus last night, Chairman Rangel outlined his long-awaited “Mother of All Tax Hikes” legislation. The basics of the package are simple: This is the largest individual income tax increase in history.

The bill will add a 4% surtax on Americans earning more than $150,000 a year ($200,000 for couples). That is on top of the scheduled expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. So, under Democrats’ plan, over the next few years, the individual income top tax rate in the United States will rise from 35% to 44%. By way of comparison, the other 29 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries – basically other developed nations - have an average top marginal tax rate of 35.7%. In fact, only five OECD countries would have higher top marginal tax rates in 2011 than the United States if the Democrats’ bill is enacted.

This crushingly high ta

In your wildest imagination can you see Americans ever switching from air travel to rail travel? Senator Sununu of NJ brought up two amendments that would have brought down the cost some but they were both rejected. He is the only one who dares to touch this admired white elephant. Why is that?

I've heard a lot of conservatives calling for the resignation or impeachment of Harry Reid concerning his letter and to-do about Rush Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" comment. They're justification being that either 1.) he is a deliberate liar or 2.) he is incompetent and unable to judge situations correctly. But can't the same rationale be used for Bush and his WMD justification for invading Iraq? The way I see it, Bush either 1.) deliberately lied or 2.) is too incompetent to correctly judge situations. Shouldn't those conservatives also be calling for Bush's resignation or impeachment? Isn't starting a war a much more serious problem than criticizing a private citizen?

the US is in for a real rough ride, very soon.

for those too young to remember gas was rationed-there were odd/even days you buy gas depending on the last number of your license plate. before the gas crisis, gas was so cheap, nobody had locking gas caps. the oil crisis took down the entire economy for a good 10 years...mired in unemployment.

So I finally saw the movie so I can see what it was about. From everything I heard about it, I thought it was about the global warming hoax. But the only thing I got from the movie was that the Alien Love Child (Al Gore) was still upset about losing the 2000 election, and the movie was his way to do his share of Bush-bashing.

Is the movie really about the global warming hoax or is it a political bash of his opponent?

Why are Conservatives making (man made) Global Warming into a full fledged political issue? Sure, if we are going to have a solution to Global Warming, it will involve politics to implement laws and such, but why do you make this into a "Liberal and a Democrat lie?" It is a serious environmental issue (that people on both sides accept) that will affect all of us unless we can reverse it now. Why do you deny it when the scientific community accepts if and even the White House accept it? This is an environmental issue that needs to be addressed. Why is it such a huge deal to address this issue? Does the future of our planet matter and how it affects us and future generations even matter to you or does only the political side matter?

or at least for many many more decades to come at a very minimum? I am not talking like a lukewarm war like the cold war. I am talking real fighting wars with invasions and conquests and policing of civil wars, and eavesdropping on would be supsected terrorists, and extraditions and Gitmo, and looking at citizens rights under "more enlightened" eyes due to current threats and the whole ball of wax. We are at war against terror, and we are in this war for the long foreseeable and unforeseeable future.
