    With Michael Moore's incessant drivel during the lead up and eventual overthrow of Saddam Hussein why didnt he talk to these members of Congress? Atleast 5 members of the house or senate have children serving in the military in Iraq, several in very dangerous areas doing very dangerous jobs for instance......

    Last month Marine recruit Jason Tharp drowned while undergoing water survival training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC. By all accounts and even his own admission, he was not cut out for the Marine Corps and badly wanted to go home. I don't belittle him for that. Some people are simply not military material, and there's no shame in that. Hell, there's lots of things that I'm not cut out for. But the family and some segments of the public just don't seem to understand the basic premise of military training in general, and Marine training in ........

    Well Im sitting in class in the journalism building at UGA and my right jewel begins to get a slight burning sensation, nothing major just an irritation, I scan my recent memory for ANYTHING that might be causing this and find nada. So I sit quietly taking notes and then it hits like a bolt of lightening the entire region, sausage included is screaming 911!!, 911!! 911!!! so I jump up look down and my new cool Zippo has been leaking into said naughty area ......

    The Neo Con’s guide to Democratic buzzwords Dictionary of Democrat buzzwords Silent Epidemic- We have absolutely not evidence other than our feeling to back this up so don’t expect any hard science. Democratic wing of the Democratic Party- This is trying to find our base. No one really understands what this means but it sure sounds good. Why not the liberal wing of the liberal party? Oh that would just make Janeane Garofalo stumble ..... Please add your own and I will add them to the list.

    As you read exceprts of the article below notice the inherit bias in reporting on Global Warming. The AP has an agenda (always), and this is one of many articles not only touting global warming but proclaiming that no one disagrees with the theory. If this is correct then why mention that virtually no one disagrees with it? First of all Earth's climate can be explained by mechanisms that do not involve human greenhouse gas emissions. The earth has been colder over long periods than now and hotter over long periods than now. Even when greenhouse gases were only being...

    Abortion performed on 24 week old fetus because of cleft palate. Prosecutors say they have no case? Our concern was that if it was beyond all doubt that all it was a cleft lip and palate, then we could not understand why a decision to terminate had been taken," said the chief executive, Gareth Davies. How long before decisions are made to end an unborn childs life based on whether the parents or parent in this case would rather have a green eyed child or a boy instead of a girl.......

    As Koreans say, “The Americans may be our friends, but the North Koreans are our brothers.” It is very easy for this generation of South Koreans to forget the 35,000 dead and the 120,000 wounded to secure liberty for their country..... Gallup poll South Korea: Over the same period, the percentage of those who said they liked Americans fell from nearly 64 percent to 37 percent. On the other hand, 55 percent had positive attitudes toward China and 47 percent toward North Korea.... it gets worse!

    Compassionate Conservatism is just another way of saying "let's be nice to Liberals". You can be sure if they had the big stick they would be beating us to death with it. The party of Michael Moore and George Soros ..... We need to tell the UN to get a real job and find a new home. Its time we found the backbone to be the majority party, put the full weight of the Republican party behind these issues and stop trying to nuance the Democrats. ...

    Reservists will park elsewhere, although union admits mistake banning nonunion cars, Bush stickers. said Lt. Col. Joe Rutledge, a top-ranking officer at the reserve infantry rifle battalion. "However, I've made my decision -- either you support the Marines or you don't." The UAW proclamation has to qualify for the stupid act of the month. Let us count the ways this hurts their own cause......

    These 37 countries, which accounted for 61.6 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions in 1990, have to reduce them by an average of 5.2 per cent below the 1990 levels by 2012. They can do this through a combination of direct domestic action and by paying cash to developing countries who reduce these emission levels . This is the kind of stuff that would make the mafia proud (extortion)......

    "It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners," Kramer wrote Looks like the left is going to force a Federal Consitutional Amendment. The idea that this would be handled state to state is dwindling quickly.

    Bennett's answer :It depends upon what you are trying to achieve. I guess the question I would ask is: if you look around the world in strategically important places, is the US actively engaged there promoting democracy or not? I don't think there is much evidence that promoting democracy is what the US is doing. It is what it says it is doing. here is the most interesting question and quote of the interview: Yong Tang: In such sense, do you think America should be the leader of the world? Bennett: No, I don't think US should be the leader...

    Tonight he interviewed Ward Chruchill and basically went on one of the longest anti American tirades Ive ever seen. Ward Churchill needs his own wing in the looney bin right next to Maher's. Last week Maher was ranting about religious people having neurological disorders, this week he is trying to give some sort of credence to Ward Churchill's remarks about the 911 victims being little Eichman's
