ANSWERS! WE NEED ANSWERS! Before I wrote all of these notes today I thought it might be fun just to consider a few imponderables on the air. Who knows, maybe we'll get bored and go to these questions anyway. So ... here you are. Come up with some good answers. Will the Imperial Federal Government of the United States ever actually cut spending or eliminate a spending program in our lives? Will liberals ever admit that America is great because of the dynamic of people living under economic and social freedom, and not because of its government? Will Royal ever...

Hearings Shed Light on War BAGHDAD -- Members of the U.S. Army's 41st Regiment uncovered an AK-47 during a routine search in the dangerous Baghdad slum of Sadr City on Aug. 31. Finding a weapon was not unusual, but Sgt. Michael P. Williams, 25, said he felt danger when he saw a smirking Iraqi man in the house where the gun was found, according to the testimony of fellow soldiers. "I feel threatened," Williams declared, the soldiers recalled. The "Iraqi went for his weapon." Moments later, Williams shot the Iraqi man with two bullets to his head and chest, according...

Are the Police and Courts doing a good job, are we still protected by the Constitution or do Judges and the Police make their own law.

Can anyone explain why so much attention is placed on poll questions that ask whether the country is going in the right direction or wrong direction. Anybody concerned with social issues and bias in the media will clearly say that the country is going in the wrong direction. Good survey questions should lead to minimally ambiguous conclusions. Right direction, wrong direction - is clearly bizarre.

Questions:: Dear NKzone, I'm doing a social studies project for social studies and my question is: How does communism in North Korea compare to that of China? If you could answer a few questions for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. 1)Is the North korean government strict? If so, how? 2) What are some laws that prohibit people from doing certain actions?; What are some things the North Korean government has made illegal that would be legal in most other countries? 3) Do you think the North Koreans are happy living in North Korea? 4) Has there ever been a protest...

Ten Questions for Candidate Kerry! JB Williams & Regular Readers ©2004-10-19 Since the American media is determined to not ask Presidential candidate John Kerry the most important questions of this election, the American people will just have to ask them themselves… It could just as easily have been 100 questions, since the press has given John Kerry a complete pass on all pertinent questions concerning his candidacy. But since we only have 2 weeks left before Election Day, I thought we better narrow them down to the ten most important questions, in hopes that we can get someone to ask...

You Could Drive a Truck Through the Holes in Kerry's Campaign Written by J. B. Williams Tuesday, October 19, 2004 The American people can’t get the most important answers if nobody will ask the questions… While the mainstream press is busy playing partisan politics, overtly or covertly endorsing their candidate via bogus headlines, irrelevant invented stories backed by forged documents or biased coverage of world events, the main questions go unasked and unanswered… If John Kerry is the war hero he claims to be, why is he the only candidate who has not signed form 180, releasing all his military...

Steve Malzberg will be interviewing Thomas Lipscomb on Sunday. After dialing a hundred times, then having it ring about 25 times I got through last night around 3 a.m. and got to talk to Steve Malzberg a few minutes. Some of you wanted to know how the chat went. I taped the conversation, saved it to my computer as a wav file and then posted it as streaming audio to my site (it would have been to large just to give people a link directly to the wav file). Go to the bottom of the home page above the Google...

• Question 3 -- What 'misjudgments' has Bush made? • Question 4 -- Who's top target, bin Laden or Saddam? • Question 6 -- When should troops come home? • Question 7 -- Are U.S. soldiers dying for a mistake? • Question 8 -- What was the 'miscalculation' in Iraq? • Question 9 -- When has Bush misled the public? • Question 10 -- Has the war been worth the loss of life? • Question 11 -- When will the war in Iraq end? • Question 12 -- Would Bush lead another pre-emptive war?

WRITTEN BY LT.COLONEL CHARLES WADE Wednesday, October 13, 2004 Even before the primary elections, President Bush’s military service was a political issue as was Senator Kerry’s military service which he touted and others questioned. Reporters continue to seek comment from candidates, political operatives, and pundits. It seems that everyone is an expert, and everyone has an answer. Some of the more interesting responses have come from Republican senators who typically begin by asserting that they honor Senator Kerry’s Viet Nam service, but… Honor: What is that all about? What virtues are honorable? More important, what virtues are both militarily and...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley may have violated congressional restrictions on how federal voting funds may be used by spending some of the money on Democratic consultants who attended fund-raisers and party meetings, a newspaper reported. At the least, the way Shelley applied some of the nonpartisan funds differs from how his colleagues in other states spent the money earmarked for replacing voting machines and educating poll workers and voters following the disputed outcome of the 2000 presidential race in Florida, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "We didn't intend for anyone to hire political...

http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=10146 Debate Score: Bush 1, Kerry 0 Written by Gregory Borse Monday, October 04, 2004 In order for the creeping dynamics of the race for the presidency to change as a result of the first presidential debate, two things had to happen: President Bush had to commit a major gaff and Democratic challenger Senator Kerry had to hit a home run. Neither happened. Still, this first debate offered an opportunity--as a result of the fact that the two participants performed so well--a real contrast between the candidates. For all the harping before the first of the three scheduled debates, about...

Special Post-Debate Release....10-1, 2004 Style vs. Substance Round 1 Written by JB Williams ©2004-09-30 Before even I become confused by the pundit’s efforts to tell me what I saw and heard last night, I’m writing round one of the 2004 Presidential debates in to my own history book. The answer to who won the first round will depend on who you ask. If you’re asking me, both candidates lost… John Kerry looked good, was articulate, on message, calm, forceful, yet uncharacteristically respectful. Bush looked tired, verbally stumbling at times, a bit too on message, forceful as expected, but almost agitated,...

Q 1 (to Kerry): Do you believe you could do a better job than President Bush in preventing another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States? Q 2 (to Bush): Do you believe the election of Senator Kerry on November the 2nd would increase the chances of the U.S. being hit by another 9/11-type terrorist attack? Q 3 (to Kerry): "Colossal misjudgments." What colossal misjudgments, in your opinion, has President Bush made in these areas? Q 4 (to Bush): What about Senator Kerry's point, the comparison he drew between the priorities of going after Usama bin Laden and going after...

I apologize for the vanity but I know I saw a thread which contained some excellent info on the Al_Q/Iraq/Saddam connection recently. I've searched with various key word strings but have come up empty handed. Any links would be greatly appreciated! Very Respectfully, MTBNate
