BAGHDAD — Taking advantage of a dramatic drop in car bombings and sectarian murders, Baghdad residents are once again venturing out to local markets and restaurants after dark in many parts of the city. They're celebrating weddings and birthdays in public places and eating grilled carp on the Tigris River late into the night

A local television station has begun a feature called "Baghdad Nights," showing the capital's residents shopping, eating and socializing after the sun has set— a sight that until recently was unheard of in most neighborhoods.

Their full-page attack ad against the General was nothing less that disgraceful, and at the very least I think they owe him a HUGE apology

I miss the good old days when we had enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world eight times and kept making more.

Assume:
I am a forward looking blue collar worker. Myself and my wife have set aside $2,500 every year from the time we were 18 until we are ready to retire at 65. I have earned the historical average stock market returns, and am now sitting on ~$4.7 million.

By your definition, do I qualify as an greedy rich fat cat investor, who deserves to be taxed at a higher rate, seeing as how I'm not "technically" (in your words) earning the dividends and capital gains I am now living on?

If you have a $70 trillion shortfall that you know is coming, at least you would be honest with yourself.

Why aren't Dems honest about it?

Our true debt is $79 TRILLION thanks to Dems' programs --- not $9 trillion.

How many Americans vote for a candidate simply because one of their favorite actors/singers advocate said candidate, and support them?
Do you think this would be irresponsible voting?

Do you take the time to listen to the positions of both major political parties before you make your decision on where you stand in regards to a particular issue?
Or, is it easier for you just to blindly follow your chosen party for the simple fact that you feel that they represent your interests and beliefs in totality?

From the Left WIng LA Times;

"By every objective measure of military performance, the United States' surge of military forces into Iraq has been a great success. The number of terrorist attacks has fallen significantly. American military casualties are down, as are Iraqi civilian casualties. Perhaps the best testament to the surge's success is that civilian refugees are beginning to return."

It's hard to say this being a liberal, but I think that this is where the downfall of the country began.

The movement gave women too much power in the most important entity in the world - the family home. If you go back and trace when the divorce rate started to rise, you can see that it coincides with women being given the upper-hand in the courts across the country.

Because of this children are now very likely to be raised without the strong leadership that a man provides and thereby fall into more negative situations because they lack the guidance of a strong male figure.

This in turn leads to an increase in kids dropping out of school, becoming teenage mothers, getting involved in crime, and a whole host of other ills that are now ravaging this society.

And it's all because women have too much power to be put in their place in nowadays.

Hillary Clinton becoming president would the blow that breaks this nations back.
