They only agreed to sign off on the 1 yr AMT tax fix if the provision to make up the lost $50 million in taxes was dropped. What was that provision you ask? Closing the loophole for offshore banking. Once again, looking out for Middle America.

How to make the UN cease to exist.

1) the US should pull out (no more $5bill. per year)
2) leave security council seat to isreal(this way all the arab nations leave, and they also carry the oil money they use to bribe the UN to be unactive in cases like Iran, syria, hamas, hizbolla and sudan
3) ask them nicely to pull out.
4) when they do, we give the building to 'The Donald' to turn it into a musume or a mall.

what do you think?

In other words, why is the only freedom of choice they embrace is the "right" of a woman to slaughter her unborn child, yet see no problem denying my "right" to burn light bulbs if I so choose?

Hillary is a Methodist, and Barack is United Church of Christ. Do those churches teach creationism? Do those churches teach about God and prayer? Have Hillary or Barack ever communicated with an invisible being? Have they felt led? How will their faith influence their governance?

I have noticed for the last 2 years on YA a consistant Republican Question that reads "Why do Libs say ... "

Yet in all this time I have never heard a Democrat or Lib say even one of these so called popular sayings.

No Other Republican since WWII could come close to Gen Eisenhower.

Just think what the rest of the millions could do. For example, Hillary Clinton has raised $90million. That could do so much good in other areas, like child poverty etc.

Savage is certainly not the first to call CAIR's political motivations into question. CAIR is the leading Islamic lobby group in the nation and the organization is accorded a great deal of legitimacy by the mainstream media, the Bush administration and other politicians, academia, civil rights activists, and even military and federal agencies that have employed the group's assistance for "sensitivity" and "cultural training." Nonetheless, questions surrounding CAIR's philosophical underpinnings, foreign funding, and political goals continue to haunt the group's footsteps.

Federal prosecutors named CAIR, along with the Islamic Society of North America and the North America Islamic Trust, an unindicted co-conspirator in the recent case involving the now-defunct Muslim charity the Holy Land Foundation and its alleged financial ties to the Palestinian terrorist group turned terrorist government Hamas. Also coming to light via the Dallas trial was a 1991 memo put out by the Egyptian Islamist organization the Muslim Brotherhood citing a strategy to subvert the West using mainstream Islamic front groups such as CAIR. As Dallas Morning News columnist Rod Dreher put it:

The HLF trial is exposing for the first time how the international Muslim Brotherhood — whose Palestinian division is Hamas — operates as a self-conscious revolutionary vanguard in the United States. The court documents indicate that many leading Muslim-American organizations — including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim American Society — are an integral part of the Brotherhood's efforts to wage jihad against America by nonviolent means.

The only reason why these dictators rise to power in the first place is because we keep buying their freakin' oil!
Venezuela can thank us for making them a communist nation and putting Chavez in power.
Our government makes lame excuses! Did you know there is a place in the state of Utah that is believed to have more oil than the entire middle east? But it needs some refining work to be ready to use. Whats the problem? It takes work? Oh crap it takes work! Are Americans to lazy to work? Another stupid excuse from our evil government! Are people to afraid to stand up to our government. I think we should all stop buying oil period as a protest or since we need to travel use as little as possible as a nation until the prices drop. But why buy oil from terrorist and communist?
If we are going to buy oil we can get it from Canada. That's just hippie-redneck oil and Canada is never going to declare war on us and even if they did those mounties are no match for us.

Hillary Clinton has two things going against her in those areas. One is she is a woman and many people even conservative woman may not vote for her for that fact. Secondly she is considered to be too liberal (abortion supporter, welfare supporter, socialism for health care, tough gun control laws) for the deep south such as arkansas, texas, kentucky, georgia.

We the people acknowledged that the world is full of conflicts on many different subjects some are possible to bring solution some are hard to find a right answer.

There are so many organizations who are fighting for sovereignty or right to self determination. The reasons of their struggles are based on historical backgrounds, human rights situation and racial discrimination etc. Some of them use extreme form of violence to achieve their goals and as a consequence civilian casualty are unavoidable. So I have two questions 1. Is sovereignty or right to self determination possible in the present context of today's world? 2. Is violence a means to bring attention of the international community or to achieve their goals?
