The more I look at this crap, the more I become an islolationalist. Deport the Muslims and other illegals then close the borders.

The illegals are the one to be isolated, not us. Sad, isn't it?

Boo hoo, big tears for the illegals. The ones we need to isolate are in the Legislative buildings around the country. I wonder what it will take to get the bastards to review the Constitution and see what the 'Rights of the people' are?

"Rafsanjani, who served as Iran's president from 1989-97, told worshippers that the West must curb escalating Israeli-Palestinian violence or face a 'third world war.'"

Ahhh...where's this birdbrain been the past few years, anyway?

...FACT: the loudmouth has not been paying very good attention, a'tall.

We are walking a tight rope here friends. This could very well be America's last hurrah that we are witnessing. OTOH it may turn out to be the kick in the pants that America needs to get back on the right track.

I think we'll know soon. d:^/

Klinton will be remembered in history as the man who facilitated the true WWIII if and when the red chinese start it with their Tailand invasion.

Yes, and, IMO, there is a good chance that he will get all the credit for reducing the world's only Superpower to a third rate has been like England (No offense to our British friends but remember Chamberlain?) or worse.

Hashemi Rafsanjani's comments came as thousands of people across the Middle East attended rallies marking the importance of Jerusalem, the holy city fought over by Muslims and Jews. Jerusalem Day is held to coincide with the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. Jerusalem, a city wanted by both Israelis and Palestinians as a future capital, is the third-holiest site in Islam, after the Saudi Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina. Rafsanjani, who served as Iran's president from 1989-97, told worshippers that the West must curb escalating Israeli-Palestinian violence or face a ''third world war.''

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five. Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind have lost track myself. but bein' this is a 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question.......do i feel lucky?..........well do ya punk?" "

You can do the math and substitute the appropriate weapons from our current arsenal if you like.

Yeah, I know; I used to live in LA County a (long) while back. Bob Dornan was even my Congressman once upon a time! I'm just expressing my frustration with how hopelessly left-wing the left coast looks these days. But hey, I live in NY State, where do I get off complaining about liberal states?

No doubt. I am originally from Canada, and it is MORE liberal out here than it is back home. Everytime I see a headline out of Berzerkly, I just shake my head...
