As much as I "hate" anonymous users, the one on Charles C's thread raised some interesting points. I have personally seen this happen only to an elderly person. They where threatened with "either do what I'm telling you or I'll put you in a home and then we'll do it anyway. So as to not hijack someone elses thread, I brought it here. Medicine at gunpoint Public trust in conventional medicine has plummeted to such an all-time low that the industry is now resorting to the threat of vio...
I'd like to take just a moment to tell everyone here how proud I am of them. The last 3 of Klink's articles died on the vine. The only response he got was one that he did himself. Way to show self control guys and gals! Keep up the good work.
According to this piece from the WSJ it sounds like they "really" don't want a democracy. Just maybe we should leave them to their own devices. Mr. Nasr uses this history to explain why Iraq's Shia so eagerly embraced the fall of Saddam Hussein. Whereas the Americans saw regime change in Iraq as a harbinger of democracy, Iraq's Shia viewed it primarily as the end to centuries of Sunni domination. And Saddam's fall inevitably stirred hopes for a Shia revival elsewhere. The mantra "one man,...
Well the frogs have tried again, they have dangled the bait and we "bit"! How long before they cut and run this time? Any guesses? And only 400 troops at that. They might as well stay home. They won't be of much use since all they know how to do is surrender when the going gets tough. The following is excerpt from the WSJ. To read the entire article follow the link.

Some left wing wacko was just spouting off about how the estate tax needs to be left alone and in place. I say "phooey"! And....it would seem so do a bunch of my fellow Americans! From the Wall Street Journal:[/] Taxes Everlasting Why the superrich don't mind the death tax. Thursday, June 8, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT If you've followed the death tax debate, you know that few issues raise liberal blood pressure more.

I just went in to have tires put on my truck and what do I get? I get some fat slob of a manager ranting about how bad Bush is and how he's running the country into the ground. Then he goes on as to how good "Slick Willie" was and how "hanoijohnkerry" would have been a lot better than Bush. I promptly told him that he just messed up big time and that he was talking to someone who was probably the most extreme right-winger he'd ever met. He then told me (in basic terms) that he didn't care ...

Probably should be under humor, but oh well. ------------ 1. "Okay, okay! I take it back. Unfuck you!!!" 2. "You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing?!" 3. "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" 4. "Well this day was a total waste of make-up." 5. "Well aren't we a bloody ray of sunshine?" 6. "Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after." 7. "Do I look like a fucking people person!" 8. "This isn't an office. It's HELL with fluorescent lighting"...
Look I know that a lot of people find me offensive. You know what? I don't really care. I'm not here to make friends (although I have made some) or influence people! If you do not like my opinions or comments, then don't read them. It's as simple as that. When I'm wrong I try to admit to it as quickly as I can. But then that's so the lefty's can't take what I said out of context. So if you are expecting an apology from me for something I said that offended you.....don't hold your breath caus...
This was totally unexpected. Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent...

Why are the democrats stone-walling the publishing of the Barrett report? Could it be that they are afraid of what will come out in it? Like more of Clinton's misdeeds? From what I've read, if this goes public "Shillary's" career would be over. Of course along the way some republicans have become involved. They must be "stuck on stupid"! WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "No wonder they call us the Stupid Party," said a disgusted Republican operative in Washington. "You've got to wonder what these guy...
I have a question for those with more knowledge than me on the constitution. With very few exceptions, "where" in the constitution does it say that the government can own land? I know about the military bases and such not. But lets take one and start with Anwar. Where does the government get off saying it can own that piece of property. The senator from Alaskatried to get an Anwar drilling bill passed yesterday and hid it in a military appropiations bill. Well per usual the dems and libs cau...
