I agree with some of the articles listed above, respect some of the articles opinions although I don't share them. Interesting enjoyable post overall and I'd like to expand upon articles 10 and 11... English is not the official language in the US. In fact we don't have an official language! Website of a group trying to make English the official language.... Link Website of history of official
As Landen mentioned...not all liberals are Dems and not all conservatives are Repubs... TR was espeically known to be conservative in the true sense of the word when it came to the environment (although now his views on the environment would be considered liberal) since he believed in conserving the environment for future generations. The evolution of the two parties is (to me) fascinating on certain issues...
One...blame Reagan? I just gave historical context of when the chem warfare occured (meaning it was ~20 years ago!!). The funniest part is that I am definitely not a Reagan hater and admired many of his qualities. Two...as referenced in my first reply... He would have been hailed by the left, who at that time we
The liberal-left is disgraceful. WHY do the liberal-left act like Saddam's unpaid henchman, spreading propaganda that is patently false. <TABLE cellpa
The main point of my post is that you were missing the overall picture of both of the articles. I then stated what the main point of the articles were. Your point was to take one quote and use that to define the article. But the main point of the article was not the SECRET plan. It was protecting farms and creating jobs. The SECRET plan was one line in his speech that the writer expanded upon. I showed the quotes from German and French
Wow! As Reagan would say "There you go again." While it may be accurate to say that stock piles of WMD have not been found in Iraq; that is a far cry from saying Saddam did not posses such weapons Of course this assertion is just you doing the exact thing that you bemoan the left doing but in s
It's no big news for me to tell you about the different treatment the mainstream media extends the Bush and Kerry campaigns. Today's example: Terry Maculiffe, an obvious obsessive compulsive incapable of self-control, could no resist taking a cheap shot. When spinning low expectations for this Thursday’s debate, he said Bus
Question: Wasn't Terry Maculiffe the same guy who was caught stealing top secret documents from the 9/11 commission? Answer: No. The person who did take copies of "top secret documents" was Sandy Berger. The Commission found that he took no original documents and Berger has said the incident was inadver
The 3rd point has no reference so I can't check up on it....although I have heard from both sides (R and D) that there may be a need for a larger call up to ensure stability in Iraq leading up to their national elections.... ummm....and I guess that's my 2 bits.... "Do I dare disturb the universe?" TS Eliot
Point two is interesting because it relies on adjectives and how the press interprets it... French and German government officials say they will not significantly increase military assistance in Iraq Which could mean that they will increase support but it will not be massive amounts... <
As for point number one....you miss the main point of Kerry's talk in Wisconsin by skipping around the article. His main argument is that he wants to help the farmers in the midwest as he helped the ones in the northeast while representing MA. He also wants to return jobs to Wisconsin that have been lost the last four years. That was the main point of the article. Focusing on jobs and agriculture is not the most inflammatory point in the article, but i
Hey Texas Wahine, I agree!!! I'd rather he let loose with his mind and let people know what he's thinking.....it's better than if he was losing his mind!
Are you saying that you didn't enjoy The Daily Show when they lampooned Clinton and Gore too? Because I personally thought it was funny then and the "news" is funny now. Then again I also enjoy the SNL skits about politics too...
Go to the Judicial watch website Link Even there they state that the navy is not going to look into it despite all the spin the website puts into it (hinting he doesn't deserve the medals)... As Crunchy also says, the navy response on top of what was reported by Reuters was that the matter wasn't worth looking into, especially something that occurred 30 years ago where everything seemed to be
He has voted against more programs than voted for. But you have to look at the context for why he voted against certain bills. For example, since the fight against terrorism has begun he has voted more consistently for defense bill appropriations. As stated above: Kerry Has Supported More than $4.4 Trillion in Defense Sp
In both the other links you sent, you prove my point. The Navy didn't open the investigation, it was requested by a legal watchdog group, Judicial Watch. The articles you sent talk about opening the investigation but they are older (sept 5 and 8, respectively) than the Reuters article which gives the conclusion of the JW's bid to open the investigation (i.e. there was no evidence of improper rewarding of medals). I just wanted to let you know as your s
For Drmiler, 1) I didn't write that Kerry likes the military (since personally I do not know), I wrote that both Cheney and Kerry's records can be used to show that they hate the military based on your criteria and cherry picking votes. However, you can't refute (and you haven't yet) that you lied in your post since you said Kerry has voted against ALL defense appropriation bills which I then, using news sources, proved wrong. You
that's very nice but you missed the point of my post drmiler....here I'll even quote it for you... I just wanted to prove to you that both sides can be shown to "hate the military" by using their record against them. Meaning, in case the article was too nuanced....that you can find selected vo
I agree with Crunchy....however I found that the article drmiler quotes is from NEWSMAX lol So you know it must be true!!! Here is a followup from Reuters....from the Reuters article it appears that the Navy didn't open the probe but a right wing group asked the Navy to open the probe which would make the NEWSMAX story <img src="../images/smiles/surprised.gif" border=0 ALIGN
Drmiler, when it comes to the simplistic view of the 87million, yes he did vote against it BUT if you took the time to look into the nuances (not easy for a Bushie who sees the world in black and white).... Kerry voted for the 87 billion dollar bill an amendment that some of the tax cuts would be repealed in order to minimize the amount of deficit that would occur (it's called fiscal responsibility). He then opposed the bill when the amendment
, Marvin Cooley you're a blast! I truly enjoy reading your Limbaughesque rants. If someone disagrees with you they are a moron! If Bush needs to be pro-military, then Kerry must hate the military! If Congress is still debating the value of opening ANWR, it is the liberal's fault! At least you're always the victim right? If you are young, you are an inexperienced moron! <img src="../images/s
Chemical, I understand why the pollsters narrowed it down also but I think it would be interesting to poll this way: Bush/Kerry/Nader/Bednarik/Cobb/Undecided.... then ask the undecided who they lean toward and ask the people who plan to vote for Nader/Bednarik/Cobb if the will definitely vote for them or would they possibly vote for Kerry/Bush (wording it better of course to get poll type answers). It will be interesting to see if th
I'm not questioning whether the Marines care about it or not, I'm sure they are proud to defend their country, I'm just making a point that this makes it less likely for there to be a draft. I tend to use sources when I make points, thus the accompanying article.....
wow, that came up longer than expected...again sorry about the long article....
The draft is less likely since it is harder now for the active duty and reservists to leave the military due to the stop loss orders (some call it a back door draft, but is it a draft if originally it was voluntary?). This is the first half of the article: Sorry if it's a little long......
