Free Republic

Your first point freedom isn't cheap, is right on the head. If freedom is so expensive, and our military personal, are a precious commodity that should never be wasted, but only used with the utmost discretion. Why wasn't the Secretary of state consulted before the decision was made to go to war. Why was Prince Abdula told before him. That bothers me, on many levels, and I didn't have to hear that from the liberal press. That Joesph Wilson guy is a nut case, but why his wife sold out! She was a CIA operative, if the military is gold the CIA is diamond,it smacks of treason to me, and I don't like it. Sure I could be like chicken little and run around screaming "the liberal press is falling", or just believe that if I ask questions and don't tow the party line, I must be a traitor, or God forbid "really a closet liberal". "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", and "truth will out". I'll be watching and waiting, and in the mean time, I'm digging for the facts, "just the facts".

We nonsmokers really appreciate the smokers avoiding the nonsmoking restaurants. They usually smell like an ashtray, and that can be just as annoying. You know they can't stop even for an hour, even when they're eating. Ha! One reply said there are alot of smokers in Northern Ohio. Who wants to go into business with me selling Oxygen in Northern Ohio, there has got to be alot of C.O.P.D. and emphysema up there, or we could open a restaurant that has special little alcoves for people to park their oxygen bottles, so they wont get bumped in the isles. We could get rich. What a business opportunity

It amuses me the level of simplicity on which some people think. I've heard four year old with more insight. I dont mean this about every comment on this page. Just the slogan one's "you know who I mean". To really know the truth one must research the history and events that have led us to this point, with an open mind. Unfortunently, "those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it." You can kill a man but you cannot kill his ideas. Within living history, there was not animosity between the Muslim east and the American west, so one must ask what changed when did it change and what were the change of events that led to this day. I have a pretty good idea of the answers, but evryone must find out for themselves. "knowledge will set you free".

All politicians, are bad! They are either "tax and spend" liberals or they are, "create huge deficit's" conservatives. It all comes down to the little guy paying for it one way or another. Tax us now or tax us later, its coming out of our pockets or our childrens pockets.
