  • FairTax, here to stay

    AmericanCowboy to Man50D

    How would you implement? And do we really want to test this new tax reform on our Economy? If something were to go wrong or if something was overlooked, we could be hit with a depression that could trust us back to the stone ages......I think Martin Luther said it best...”I have a dream” I think he was speaking about the fair tax.....just a dream...........

  • Most-wanted Iraq terrorist al-Zarqawi dead

    AmericanCowboy to NormsRevenge

    Dems, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, you liberals? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Al-Zarqawi, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Al-Zarqawi death, while nottragic, definatly saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think.

    One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

  • IMMIGRANTS UNITED: Thousands protest accross the U.S.; Laredo shows support [near riot in Mexico]

    Teddy Roosevelt said it right:

    "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

    Anything less contributes to the rise of individualism and multiculturalism, and with that contributes to
    the diminishment of our national security and personal freedoms,
    the degradation of our structures of education, science and technology, jurisprudence and legislation, and
    the disintegration of the American culture and its values, which have created both
    the most effective system of equal freedom and justice for all, and
    the most productive and advanced civilization in the history of the world.

    When we apply new ideas to anything that's already working well, we either improve it still further, or injure its ability to function. It's undeniable to even a casual observer who is not agenda-driven that our country and the pillars of our society have taken some serious hits over the last half century. In spite of some spectacular achievements in science and technology, our country is falling apart and we are falling behind other nations in various areas --especially that of education in general and in science and math in particular.

    Now we are engaged in a war for the survival of our civilization and freedom, and we're giving ground to the enemy while we fight bureaucratic and political turf battles and worry about being politically correct. This is insanity.

    I say it's time to debunk individualism, personal nonresponsibility, multicultural diversity and political correctness, and get back to what we know works. We need to teach our children what makes American democracy work, and to restore the values that support our families, our communities and our culture.

    If all you do doesn't work and you're falling behind, get back to the basics! There will always be problems to be worked out, but you never succeed in fixing them by sacrificing the basics!

    We have to realize we are in the middle of a relgious war. This is not about Al Queda, Iraq, Iran or any other country. This is about Islam. The US does not want to admit that. This is a mistake. Declare war on Islam all together or get the hell out...period.

    Sources please.

    Lets be real here, the only sources are going to be the ones not wanting to reveal themselves. This is obviously a ploy, to incite the muslim population againt the west. What a fantastic way to do so. Think about it..

    This man is not really a Christian, he is a Muslim. This is just a ploy to plot the west agaist Islam to icite a Jihad or (religious war) this is what terrorist want. This man is just a tool, be used to build tension amongst the west. The same could be said about the Muhammad Cartoons. We must wake up.....

    AmericanCowboy to rob777

    This cannot be made into a war of religion. If it is, then we have to worrry about the guy next door, or the guy in the next cube over. We have to remain in Afganistan and Iraq for many many years, before this type of behavior and rule can be dimished. If this man is truly a Christian, and does not deny that fact, he will spend eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven. There are many many here in the US who would openly deny Christ in order to keep living. I would like to meet this man, for he is truly his brother's keeper.
    God Bless him, if he does not revert.........

    The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
