Will a pandemic hit the USA? Hopefully not, but the odds are the highest in our lifetime. Prepare now in case it happens. If it happens, there will likely be empty grocery store shelves, long lines at gas stations and hospitals. 1). Food Stockpiling food is essential. Suggestions: Rice, oat meal, canned/dry beans, ramen noodles, canned tuna, sardines, summer sausage, potatoes. Fill up the pantry. Much of this food is CHEAP. $200 will buy so much rice, oat meal and beans. In the freezer, pack it solid with meats. Also, stock up on disinfectants (alcohol, bleach, Lysol), TP, hand soap....

What do you think of this message. A woman told me this today as I was at the car wash. She says America doesn't want more prisons, immigration enforcement, military and police. She wants most of the budget on government run jobs and schools.

I'm beginning to think that Donald Trump was right when he said that he could "stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody" and not lose support among certain segments of the population. The man who crafted a campaign around two primary issues--illegal immigration and trade--just caved on the first of these. After months of being the toughest talker on illegal immigration, he's basically come around to the establishment's way of thinking--namely, that there are just too many lawbreakers out there to do anything about it now. Trump maintains that if he's elected president he will still build...

Hollywood rolled out the green carpet Tuesday for former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and his global warming documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." Actors and activists joined in celebrating Gore's film, which argues global warming is imminent and potentially catastrophic. Actors including Sharon Stone, David Duchovny from the "X-Files," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star Larry David and comedian Garry Shandling attended showing, where guests walked a green carpet instead of the traditional red. "It's just the environment and planet, that's all," said Shandling. He joked that people don't pay enough attention to global warming because "they are focused on TV." One event...

Bardoe was the first to bring up the subject of a loose immigration policy in France and it's danger to French culture. She was labeled racist but I'm sure the French are re-thinking their position. What do you think?

How utterly evil the Palis must be to have rejected a state as natural in its borders as the one shown above! (this was the only way to slice and dice Palestine so that "Israel" could be born with a Jewish majority). Slicing and dicing into islands is called apartheid. picture is from: http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/maps/part.html Though Balfour, himself, was in favor of a Jewish state, Great Britain particularly favored the declaration as an act of policy. Britain wanted the United States to join World War I and the British hoped that by supporting a Jewish homeland in Palestine, world Jewry...

To: Fox News et al This morning, I turned on TV briefly (to catch the weather report, since we really need rain here in Tennessee) and I heard you discussing the self-outing of "Deep Throat" yesterday. At the end of your on-air discussion, you said, "If there's another Deep Throat out there, give us a call, won't you. We're waiting for your call." Yeah, bullsh*t. For the past eight months, thousands of people have been sending you information on the 2004 stolen election and you've been ignoring it like a burning herpes sore on your anus when your wife asks...

"The only person there at the time was a man in a black ski mask, trying to set up a sound system he never did get to work." In addition to the ski mask pulled down to conceal his face, the man wore an athletic shirt displaying the word "CUBA" and a white headband over his ski mask with the word "PEACE" scrawled on it. "We were a little taken aback," relates Cothran. "He looked like a terrorist." If the manner and appearance of this lone protest leader weren't disconcerting enough, the signs he displayed gave additional pause. "Abortion Isn't...

because many other messageboards like ex libris nocturnus,and the wizards of the coast(dungeons and dragons) boards give you three warnings before they ban a person and i think that is the right way because overhere the way you do it is only ban the person and that's mean spirited.I plead you look into a warning system like the other boards have. warning from the wizards of the coast board"please don't post the picture again or you'll be banned" of course i didn't do it again. so i think i deserve a another chance. *stomps feet* *give him another chance* *give...

In todays society it not an easy task to raise two daughters. The influences from the secularist culture pose a war that most people lack the enthusiasm to fight. Tolerance were told is the key to liberal utopia, and this of course is the only right way to think. Basically, all of us Jesus freaks who are too stupid to understand how the world really works, should turn a blind eye to the departing virtue of logic, and moral values. The idea that the left holds a monopoly on logic and moral values used to make me laugh. But in...

I have to say that I never in my wildest dreams would have thought-before I became a freeper-that somehow every problem someone has is somehow President Bush's fault. I wouldnt believe some of the conclusions people come to if I hadnt read them. Maybe I'll compile all the spots Ive read of someone blaming Bush for a conflict or tragedy and see what I come up with.

The last time I posted somthing all it said was "Why not let others enjoy this event?" (referring the Michael Moore coming to speak at UVSC, Which I will be at in support of Moore)I went on looking at what other people had to say, when I clicked "Reply to post" a message came up saying "Your posting privileges have been revoked" now why is that? what did I say that was so wrong. Its to bad everyone on this site is so close-minded. I already know that this will be taken off and my "posting privileges" will once again...

The waging of an illegal war, the crimes against the Iraqi people, the killing of independent journalists. This man is a war criminal. He should be convicted as soon as possible.

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House sought to have an administration official counter Saddam Hussein's claims in an interview with CBS' Dan Rather, but could not reach agreement with the network on the right person to do it.</p> <p>Much of the interview was airing Wednesday night on "60 Minutes II."</p>

(CBS) There are just two men in the world now who can prevent a new U.S.-led war in Iraq, and CBS News Anchor Dan Rather sat down with one of them: the president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. In his first interview with an American journalist in a decade, Hussein talked for more than three hours about the looming war and his efforts to head it off. Saddam indicated he will not destroy -- as ordered by the U.N. -- his arsenal of controversial al Samoud missiles. Saddam also challenged President Bush to a televised debate about their differences. CBS News...

NEW YORK, Feb 24, 2003 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- CBS News' Dan Rather said hard work and luck helped him land his interview with Saddam Hussein on Monday - the Iraqi leader's first interview with a foreign television journalist in 12 years. CBS posted a report about the interview on its Web site Monday afternoon, saying Saddam has challenged President Bush to a live debate on their nations' differences. It's the biggest interview "get" of the year in television news, one all the national news organizations had been seeking. Reached by telephone in Baghdad, Rather credited his executive producer,...

Hussein calls for debate with Bush Iraqi leader also tells CBS anchor he won't destroy banned missiles 02/25/2003 Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein on Monday challenged President Bush to an internationally televised debate and indicated that he did not intend to follow U.N. orders to destroy his al-Samoud 2 missiles. In an interview with CBS anchor Dan Rather, Mr. Hussein said he envisioned a live debate with Mr. Bush along the lines of those in a U.S. presidential campaign, CBS said on its Web site. Regarding chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix's order that Iraq...

So why did Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein choose CBS tycoon Dan Rather to be his propaganda tool? Rather claims it was because of "hard work and luck." Here's the truth: Fanatical Bush-hater Ramsey Clark, a force in the pro-Saddam appeasement movement, set it up. Thus reports the Associated Press. Clark, of course, was attorney general to the disastrous Lyndon Johnson, who pursued that really popular Democrat war in Vietnam. Clark has even visited his pal Saddam in Iraq. Useful IdiotIn giving Saddam a propaganda platform to spout his self-serving rhetoric, Rather handed him a nationwide audience for his attempt...
