"This war on Iraq is both a religious and economic war. It is religious in that we are fighting against a religious group who pose a threat not just to America but also to Israel. It is economic in that it is oil that Suddam and his henchmen are using to control us. We are not just fighting Suddam but also nations like Russia, Syria, and Iran, possibly responsible for suppling him with the weapons of mass destruction. And just remember that America did supply foreign nations arsenal who in return supplied our enemies with it."
Yer right...unfortunately, during the Cold War, America allied ourselves with many unsavory characters in our all-out effort to defeat the Evil Empire. Eventually, it worked, but now we've got to shift gears and quit supporting regimes that enslave their populations.
"And yes, Bill clinton did give our nuclear technology to the communist chinese by "losing" the nuclear codes. But this adminstration fares no better. I never sought to vote for a superman. I stopped putting my faith in leadership of men like these and started putting it in God for only He can save me. Jesus Christ is my Superman; not Bush Jr."
I'm with you there...I may support Dubyuh's efforts in the War on Terrorism, but he's let me down on many domestic issues to the point that I'm seriously considering voting Constitution Party this November.

BTW...we miss you over on the Black threads.
"By law the Governor must submit a balanced budget to the Virginia General Assembly. However, this year the Governor's budget unlawfully intertwined appropriations and new taxes within the same bill. Combining taxes and appropriations in one bill violates the single-object rule, which is a foundational tenet of Virginia constitutional law. The single-object rule is designed to prevent "logrolling," where multiple objects are rolled into one measure until enough votes are accumulated to enact laws that could not stand on their own merits. Clearly, taxes were incorporated into the budget bill for just that reason. New taxes could not pass on their own merits. The single-object rule ensures an orderly framework for considering distinct legislative measures for their individual worth. Article IV, Section 12 of the Virginia Constitution prohibits legislation that combines dissimilar objects, such as taxes and appropriations, since neither can be properly evaluated once the two are combined. THE GOVERNOR'S initial budget, and the subsequent Senate bill, should have been rejected, because both violated the single-object rule. Rejecting them would have compelled the Governor to abide by the state Constitution and send down a properly revised budget bill. But by referring the unlawful proposals to committee, the House acceded to the Governor's unconstitutional strategy. Failure to promptly reject the unconstitutional budget bill has precipitated a chaotic legislative impasse of historic proportions."

"This war on terrorism is absolutely bogus."
We'll haveta agree to disagree on this issue, my FRiend.
"If this administration wanted to fight terrorism, they would have closed our borders to prevent invasion into this country by those illegally entering into the United States."
You just nailed another issue that I believe Dubyuh's whiffed on.
"I miss some of you guys over there on the forum. Please tell them hello for me. However, even if I were invited back to the forum I would not crawl back. Too many posters on this forum have been banned from FR and when they went back, they were bannned again. It's as if banning posters over on that forum is a gladiator sport derived from Rome."
I'll tell them by posting this comment to Black XXV...they'll be glad to hear from you...MUD
