Kidding. But this video clip hosted on Sundance Film's website is both laughable and frightening. A little on the long side, but fascinating. Link

Just saw this on NewsMax's website. They've got some poll up about whether Bush's domestic spying was legal or not. Personally, if people in the US are talking to al Queda, then we SHOULD be monitoring their calls. It's about protecting America!

New from Al-Jezzara! HOLIDAY HITS! OVER 1,400 YEARS IN THE MAKING! Order now for the Winter Holidays! Just listen to some of these instant classics. Infidels (formally Jingle Bells) Dashing thru the sand, With a Christian head in hand, While we speak of peace, Our Jihad will not cease! Watch them wring their hands, Just like we have planned, Oh what fun it is to kill, On our way to paradise! Infidels! Infidels! We will kill you all! Strapping on our dynamite, At bus stops and the malls! Infidels! Infidels! We will kill you all! While we speak the words...

If the communities we live are have become an unreliable disaster for our kids we must redouble are efforts as parents. As a matter of fact maybe this should have been part one, as the individual family’s values shape the nature of the community (we could argue chicken and egg theory here). Now this next concept is pretty dramatic and complex, so hold on to your coffee. Here it is....More people need to make raising their kids the most important priority in their lives. This is not a revolutionary idea, but seems terribly hard for many folks to put into...

Subject: Good Post I don't remember the name of the AOL member who wrote this post . However , he has given a great deal of thought to the only solution we in America face against Islamofacism . The author of this post should be given spots on Larry King , CNBC , Fox News Network , ABC , CBS , NBC , BBC , and most of all AL JAZEERA . "To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it,...

I am 16 years old and in the speech and debate team at my high school. Our current topic for debate is: "Should the United States federal government fund Hurricane Katrina relief and rebuilding by ending President Bush's tax cuts?" I strongly disagree with the proposition, but I need more evidence and reasons to back up my argument. Suggestions and facts would be greatly appreciated!!

President George W. Bush asked Congress on Tuesday to consider giving him powers to use the military to enforce quarantines in case of an avian influenza epidemic. He said the military, and perhaps the National Guard, might be needed to take such a role if the feared H5N1 bird flu virus changes enough to cause widespread human infection. "If we had an outbreak somewhere in the United States, do we not then quarantine that part of the country? And how do you, then, enforce a quarantine?" Bush asked at a news conference. "It's one thing to shut down airplanes. It's...

Still one has to wonder why a helpless human being was so atrociously and heinously starved to death according to the middle-age "Carolinian Criminal-Court Rules" . My theory is that the president as well as his brother only made token attempts for publicity reasons. To my mind, what is really behind it all, is that Terri Schindler was a testing case for the ORGAN INDUSTRY. In future this rotten judiciary will say it suffices to have the "expert" opinions of three court-hired and court-dependent physicians to declare a person brain-dead to be allowed either to kill this persons for "mercy"...

Robbery, not religion, motive in Jersey City family slaying By WAYNE PARRY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Robbery, not religion, was the motive behind the savage slaying of a family of four in January, prosecutors said Friday. Two paroled drug dealers who were deeply in debt were charged with four counts of murder and held on $10 million bail in the Jan. 11 killing of the Armanious family, Coptic Christians from Egypt who emigrated to the United States in 1997. Friends of the family had speculated that Hossam Armanious might have angered Muslims with postings he made in...

Hi! For those that don't know me, I met some Freepers on the side of Penn ave. during the inaugeral parade. They were very nice and were in sharp contrast to the unwashed protestors. A brief bio: Enlisted in the USMC as a 0311 back in 1986. Was a rifleman for a year then got an appointment to the Naval Academy. B.S. in English Lit. Naval Flight Officer (re: "Goose") for 5 years then a military scholarship to U. of Michigan in Ann Arbor for medical school. Now a staff anesthesiologist and pain management fellow at NNMC Bethesda and WRAMC...

I just visited Move On .org for some amusement, because it's always fun seeing deranged liberal TV ads, especially after the fact that they did absolutely nothing to change the outcome of the election. Anyways, I saw this ad on there "Who Runs Fox News" or something like that. I want to know, what's the deal with Fox News. Why do Liberals call it Republican News, Is it because CNN, MSNBC, CBS are very liberal and anything balanced is considered conservative because those Lib networks are supposed to be balanced? What's the deal here, I just want to know what...

Hi, gang, I was a regular contributor to the Kerry Online Forum and am now a regular contributor to the Common Ground Common Sense forum. I am a liberal, but I'll be the first to admit, I don't have all the answers. In fact, many of hte questions that matter to me probably matter to you too. I'm concerned with questions about how to tame power, whether governmental or corporate. I'm concern with the rule of law and how we can get the powerful to take it seriously. I'm concerned with the erosion of civil liberties. And yes, I am...

Lee Pitts, an embed reporter of the Chattanooga Times traveling with a National Guard unit, prodded one of its soldiers to ask Rumsfeld about why military units in Iraq are lacking proper armor for many vehicles. Tony is also talking to Lieutenant Bryan Suits, who hosts a radio show in Seattle, Washington on KVI, but is serving in Iraq now. Suits recently experienced an IED attack...

At Hamilton College -- an elite liberal arts institution in Clinton, N.Y. -- you can take courses in Roman civilization, Shakespeare and the "Emergence of Modern Western Europe, 1500-1815." All well and good. You can also take something called "Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change." That last course -- a month-long, half-credit seminar -- is scheduled to begin next month. Its teacher is Susan Rosenberg, formerly of the Weather Underground.

I cant believe Moore is putting up a photo of President Bush which is made up of the pictures of all the service men and women killed in Iraq. That is a sick and disgusting insult. hope he gets enough flack for it that he pulls it. then he lists their names like he cares..... bah (ranted about this in reply to a post but making it a topic) maybe if he gets enough emails he will pull it off his site :) ) ok second post of the day I gotta catch some zzzzzzz Bill

Some conservative groups expressed dismay Tuesday over President Bush’s tolerance of state-sanctioned civil unions between gay people — laws that would grant same-sex partners most or all the rights available to married couples."I don’t think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that’s what a state chooses to do so," Bush said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC. Bush acknowledged that his position put him at odds with the Republican platform, which opposes civil unions."Civil unions are a government endorsement of homosexuality," said Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute….

Things are already starting to explode. The MSM has already opened the flood gates in the hopes of washing BC04 down the river. It will take much intestinal fortitude to get through the next 7 days if you are on the right side of the isle. But no matter what happens we always know that we play by the rules, fight fair and are the ones with the honor and intigrity that is sorely lacking on the left and the MSM. If you have not volunteered for BC04 in a battleground state get out and do it now!! They need...

The same Democrats who derided the science of Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" program now believe in the futuristic science of "Superman" stem-cell research. "When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk," promises John Edwards, sounding far more credulous and superstitious than the Southern preachers liberal Democrats disdain. In this evening's debate, Kerry is expected to speak about "science" and its importance to the nation's future. President Bush should remind the audience that Kerry wasn't always so enthusiastic about futuristic science. In the 1980s, he opposed Reagan's nuclear missile defense plans with the zeal of a...

Man named in Bush memo left Guard before document was written BY PETE SLOVER The Dallas Morning News AUSTIN, Texas - (KRT) - The man named in a disputed memo as exerting pressure to "sugar coat" President Bush's military record left the Texas Air National Guard a year and a half before the memo was supposedly written, his own service record shows. An order obtained by The Dallas Morning News shows that Col. Walter "Buck" Staudt was honorably discharged on March 1, 1972. CBS News reported this week that a memo in which Staudt was described as interfering with officers'...
