Why is it that when Denzel Washington whipped out his checkbook to donate the full cost of a family building at the Brook Army Medical Center it made page 3 of the San Antonio Metro section but, If Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin and other hollywood insiders speak out it makes front page?

When the War is why most of them joined, to begin with
I'm confused because someone dislikes Our President. That they want to put Our Soldiers down.by wanting them to stop doing what they have so much concern in doing. Which is, Protecting this Great Nation and they show their Love for!!
How can you support them. When you're not allowing them to do what they show so much Pride in doing?

Those are my thoughts. And I certainly welcome yours!!!

I was just wondering who else sees a problem with all the anti-terror measures being implemented even today to supposedly combat terrorism. I mean the constitution wasn't meant to be changed but just certain ammendments added without changing the meaning of the law. Read the new FISA act, The Military Commision Act, The Protect America Act, and the newly Homeland Terrorism Prevention Act which can basically label anyone who dissagrees with the administration a terrorist. I suggest you people in America get your heads out of your asses and wake up before you are enslaved to your leaders and the elites. The constitution can't protect you if you don't protect it!

I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion on this, regardless of which side you're on. Consider this your place to rant without fear of judgment on my side!

And please keep it clean, guys. Leave the name-calling to the political party leaders.

In our technologically advanced society could we not take care of everyones minimal needs? Why is this not an aspiration in our culture. I think to heal the so called "lazy unproductive people" we must stop the cycle by allowing their children to have less stress in their childhoods. Then educate their children on how the world works, something they are incapable of doing.

I was born and raised there. In 2001 I married my Canadian girlfriend and moved to Canada with her.
I am a transit bus driver. I was one in the USA too. When I left, my job started at $12.60 per hour (90%) and maxed out 5 years later at $14.00 per hour. Contacting those I left behind say today, 6.5 years later, the starting pay is $12.325 per hour (85%) which is actually LOWER today than it was then, but $14.50 after 5 years. Amazing! $14.00 in 2001 would need $16.52 today according to US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Starting wages are WAY down, and adjusted for inflation, top of scale stinks pretty badly too.
They used to have a half decent medical plan for $20 a week when I was there for a single person. Now it is $30 per week with a bigger deductible and co-pay.
When I moved to Nova Scotia, I got a job as a bus driver. At that time, it took $1.53C to make $1US. Now it takes $0.98C to make $1US. MY healthcare is FREE. My wages are over $19C per hour. I get more

He wants to issue National ID cards, but when Republicans asked him how he would do that without raising taxes and enlarging the government, he said he would put Mastercard and Visa in charge of our national identities and let them print the cards and keep track of us...

Isn't that just brilliant?

All you have to do is tell them they will be attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger . It works the same way in any country."

Americans can't speak freely without being called racists
Criminals walk free among us without fear of being arrested
Illegals get more benefits than some Americans
We are required to adhere to the traditions of minorities but are banned from practicing our own
We are forced to feel sorry and ashamed to people who were not ever alive to be offended for atrocities that were done hundreds of years ago by people who we don't even know or have any direct relation to save the color of the skin.

Political correctness my as$ were just being duped and being used plain and simple.

And get this pointless war over with. The terrorists bombed us so why not bomb them back. Plus we are getting rid of future insurgents and hidden enemy bases. There are more terrorists then innocent people. Also to lower the innocent body count. Evacuate as many as troops can in 48 hours, then nuke.

What do you think?

maybe its not a concern. Maybe the best way is to let "nature" take its course. Let the strong get strong and let the others serve the strong. Or....maybe we should wonder if we really want a total dog eat dog law of the jungle society,...or perhaps something in between. What do you say?

Who really thinks Russia and China will sit by and watch the US take another nation

Take their oil supplier and set up camp to dictate to their economies ?


Would the US let any nation take over a resouce supplier to America and then allow that to dictate to the US ?

Niether wil Russia or China - If Bush is stupid enough to back Russia and China into a corner they will fight - and so would anyone else in the same position

Putin has been quoted saying an attack on Iran = and attack on Russia - Look it up for yourself

Bush might see himself as a Churchill but the rest of the world see's him as Hitler

The way I see it the Iraq War question boils down to one thing: Will it have a positive effect on U.S. security? If it does, then it was worth it. If it doesn't, the war was a mistake. Can we all agree on this?

So with that in mind, can't we all agree on this: Having a pro-democracy, pro-U.S. government located in the heart of the Islamic world makes the United States safer.

True or False?

Bill O'Reilly claims that Pat Robertson's endorsement of Rudy makes him indestructible.
