THE LAW IS THE LAW So if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words 'under God' to be on our money, then, so be it. And if that same government decides that the Ten Commandments are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. I say, so be it, because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen. I say, so be it, because I would like to think that smarter people than me are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think...

Article from a little neighborhood newspaper: Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise or feel as if someone is trying to get into your house, or, has gotten into your house, press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home at night think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no...

Lou Dobbs is taking on the illegal immigrants issue in America with a ..with quite some gusto. One thing Lou Dobbs stated when he countered the argument of a pro-illegal-immigrant guest; "the wages for jobs has declined over the past thirty years. Due to companies being able and allowed to hire cheap, undocumented labor. No wonder, the average American citizen is unwilling or unable to do the jobs. Lou went on at one point about a city in Georgia, that was forced by the gov. to stop employing the illegals for its chicken processing plant. The company was then "forced"...

Story told in a nursing class, to lighten the mood. One day,the body parts were conversing about their status for importance. The heart proclaimed, "well, I'm most important. I pump the blood through the veins in order to furnish the body with vital nutrients and necessary air and oxygen." The lungs took a clue from this and announced; "well, I do all of the work of bringing the necessary air and oxygen into the body so I am the most important." The brain said; "I, am the most important. All of you are dependent on my guidance and direction, like...

Subject: Politic World Explained with Cows DEMOCRAT You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. Barbra Streisand sings for you. REPUBLICAN You have two cows.

Brian Straw, 19, said he uses a religious message to try to recruit Democrats at Hope College, the Christian university he attends in Holland, Mich. He argued that opposition among some Democrats to the death penalty and support for social programs should win over students who want to vote their conscience. "As a Christian I feel like I have to love everyone the same and I feel like (Republicans) are cutting taxes for the rich and services for the poor," Straw said. Republicans countered that they will continue to make inroads with college students who they say have increasingly turned...

Have long wanted a space to ask a question. Or, sometimes, questions. Perhaps today, I can be forgiven for indulging myself and posting this vanity piece. My question is: Wasn't there a time in our history, when people generally abided by and went by the rules of their respective religion, and if so, what happened to the belief that it is immoral and wrong to take one's own life? To committ suicide, in other words. Why has the world at large just seemed to accept and even help promote the idea or ideology, that it is okay to take out...

Tonight on Joe Scarborough, MSNBC, Joe is acting very elated and eager to call oil execs liars in front of congress. Then next ala Chris Matthews, Joe has Barbara Boxer on, to prove how rightfully indignant the Dims are that oil execs lied to congress and that they have to get to the bottom of this. Etcetera. This is all well and good except for one thing. It is not in we, the people's interest, that the democrats are howling on this one. Problem is, the tagline for all of them, Joe and the dims, is that they want to...

Even while the letters from Al Zaqhawri,(sp?) the self-proclaimed mastermind and creator of the deadly massacre in Jordan are being read on the air, the CNN news show on television has their announcers saying something like; "It is going to be extremely hard for Jordan to find and punish the insurgents who did this because during recent times there have been hundreds of thousands of Iraqis fleeing the violence of the war in their own country...." While on another station, Fox News, it is reported that nearly 75% population of people living in Jordan are Palestinians... So by their account...

Sunday, 10/23/05. Destination America, part one, is about the history of different people(s) coming to America. During the Mexican segment, and while showing the happy documented and undocumented people as a group who are celebrating a festival-mexicali-event in a city park in Chicago, the narrator states that although some only make $100.00 per week, they manage to always send money back home to their family and ... Here, I lost something in the translation. Although the narrator was, speaking perfect english. ......"they send back a total of $14 Billion a year, to Mexico." (and then:) "with that money the Mexican...

If I get this pasted go to the near bottom of the Washington Post article and see how K. Blanco thought it better to avoid Martial Law declared in her state than to save the lives of her people. and - she is advised by the law firm of Clintoon's ex, former director Witt in how to avoid a "takeover" http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9189916

My apology to FReepers for my thread titled "Freepers Are Freaking Me Out. It was just the high emotions and intensity of the scenes unfolding before us during the last week. Now, I have a second-hand account of life in the Superdome that has given me pause. To stop and reflect. I still have sympathy and compassion for the people of NO but realize things are not always what they seem on the surface.

(Vanity) 9/03/05 Where is the compassion? Where is the feeling for another human being? After a brief hiatus I come on here expecting to find an outpouring of outrage and/or sympathy for our fellow human beings, citizens of America trapped in New Orleans and all I can find so far is sniping at the other party and recriminations against Jesse Jackson or some such political wag. And I find paranoia all over the place here about how the media is treating Pres. Bush and even jokes about who is right or wrong about the hurricane aftermath. Granted, that I have...

According to Lou Dobbs, CNN News, the Brown Berets have announced that they are planning to physically attack the Minuteman volunteers who are to begin guarding the Texas border this fall. The Brown Berets are led by some aged hispanic members from the 60's and 70's when they were compared with the Black Panthers. Meanwhile the Minutemen already are being harrassed and verbally attacked on a daily basis by drug gangs and protesters in California. These drug gangs and (probably paid) protesters do all that they can to try and get our wonderful law-abiding citizens to react and physically engage...

Thursday, June 2nd, '05, in a meeting of "deep core" Democrats, Howard Dean exhorted his followers to rise up and believe. Dean said, that the "Dark, difficult and dishonest days of the Republicans, are nearly over..." Howard Dean stated that; if you think that the average hard-working American can work all day, come home and get supper for their kids, and still find time and energy to go out (again) to the poll booths and vote, that you are mistaken. But, apparently, a lot of Republicans, did just that...." ...."if you believe that, then, a lot of Republicans never did...

According to Fox News, in the Special Report With Brit Hume, Friday, May 27, 2005, while showing audio and video of Dims who defended their unethical action in refusing to allow a vote to confirm John Bolton; a news clip of John Kerry, D-MA., showed Kerry standing tall and speaking firmly; "This is NOT, a fillibuster!" John Kerry said firmly.

NBC and MSNBC that's who. And tonight, my jaw dropped open (again...) watching ol Chris matthews try to explain this one away. This one, which is going to take more American lives.

The MSM ie; Main Stream Media in this country, USA, seems to be having a midlife crisis of late. But, overall, they are NOT funny. The MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, and any of any others, are throwing in little side bytes about how the media (not them....) has been biased to the left and liberal. But all, and I repeat all, are doing nothing to help us fight the war on terror. The biggest step and the most important step is to change the attitude of the World on who and what the so-called terrorists are. Calling them "Insurgents" is...
