At the same time it does not give any religion the right to go door to door and nation to nation trying to convert the people. That is very insulting to the people of that nations faith. The ball swing both ways.
I am fully in agreement with your statement. I can not stand someone yelling that I am going to burn because I do not believe like they do. That is real sick to tell a people of a different faith.
Well said.....

So true, I enjoy watching my fellow Americans and having a good laugh. I actually heard one complaining that the Japanese do not speak "American". The guy was so mad and so bloody amusing......LOL

“They wanted to be next to each other when they died,” Caractacus Downes told London’s Evening Standard newspaper. “They held hands across the beds.
“Sir Edward would have survived her death, but he decided he didn’t want to. He didn’t want to go on living without her,” Groves said.
True love at it's finest. This story moved me greatly. They loved each other so much that they could not be without the other.
They were soul mates and I applaud them for their action. Truly truly touching.
They loved each other and were ready for the next life that they died together. I am pretty sure that they will find each other in the next life.
You far right wingers and your cute fables and tales. I find it so cute the way you guys really believe those stories. I hope that one day you find truth and tear away those chains that bind you.
Moderator: Please do not mock readers with religious beliefs. It only reflects badly on yourself.

Please note the link and the subsection I have provided. Below you will see that it states and I quote,"(a) Reports to Congressional committees of intelligence activities and anticipated activities."
No where does it say,"Unless you are the Vice President". This document give the outline as to when where and how the CIA is to report to Congress.
If Cheney told them to withhold information then he may have broken the law.
But if there is anything that we do not know about then he is in the clear. But right now he is not looking to good. He is looking like a Nixon wantabe.
UNCLASSIFIED
NATIONAL SECURITY ACT OF 1947 ACT OF JULY 26, 1947 (As Amended)

This is what happens when a religion becomes a state religion. I hope that one day there will not be things like this happening around the world. Religious beliefs should be kept to the Temples, Mosques, Churches and kept out of government.
BTW I believe that no one should come knocking to someones door unless they know the person and are visiting.
Keep religion to yourself and stop trying to change the world.

Okay simple the at the RNC convention the now famous "the teleprompter malfunctioned" story was in fact not true. Palin has an issue with not being able to keep focused on those pesky little thingamabobs.

Hillary's credentials are very impressive, from her educational background on up. I would dare to say that Hillary is better prepared for any office than Palin. Compare the two and accept the facts.
So because I have found Palin to be lacking the skills to lead, I am ill-informed. Interesting that is your opinion and I will respect it.
Is wealth distribution anything like the Republicans trickle down economics? You remember that now don't you, the Government gives to the rich and the rich would throw their un-needed pennies to the poor.
But isn't that like welfare also? Oh yes yes I forgot when the rich get government hand outs it is okay. Because they are rich and will give to the poor....
One more question, this last huge near economic collapse whose fault was it? Was it the welfare Mom's or was it the rich in Wall Street. Please give an answer to that one.....LOL
Wait let me answer for you,"It was all the people who bought homes and could not afford it, never the rich."LOL

WhiteHawk at 02:03 PM JST - 14th July 1) She's different from the "cultured" elites, in that she's capable of doing more than run for office and read from teleprompters,
Reading a teleprompter is a very simple thing and she has proven that she has some trouble doing that. I wonder how many other politicians have the same issue? Oh yeah our last President.LOL
WhiteHawk at 02:03 PM JST - 14th July She's a woman who doesn't hate men, and isn't rumored to be a lesbian,
Hm how do you feel about Hillary? Do you hold her in the same respects.....Oh btw did I forget to mention that Hillary has a darn good edumacation?LOL
WhiteHawk at 02:03 PM JST - 14th July 3) She didn't get her political office as payment for tolerating her husband's repeated dalliances,
No she did not, and I agree with you there. But, she did not want or was it that she could not handle her office. Well, which ever is the case she has shown herself to be unwilling to finish what was asked of her. Maybe that is what makes her a Maverick!!!LOL
WhiteHawk at 02:03 PM JST - 14th July 4) She isn't a knee-jerk hoplophobe,
Ah who cares about her ideas about guns and gun control. Constitution 101 says they are not going away.
WhiteHawk at 02:03 PM JST - 14th July 5) People who work for a living can relate to her,
I work for a living and I think she does not have a clue. Does that make me an elite?LOL
WhiteHawk at 02:03 PM JST - 14th July 6) She doesn't promise potential voters piles of other people's money.
So you are saying that our President has bribed voters into picking him. You better run as fast as you can and report this to the DOJ! Quick before they read your mind and stop you!!!!!LOL

DickMorris at 08:46 PM JST - 13th July I believe in the political honesty and patriotism of Mrs Palin.
At least you admit that you side only supports her because there is a R after her name. Very honest and refreshing DM, I applaud you in your honesty.
Ah, I just wish to inform you, but our President has only been in office under 200 days. Before you go taunting the left shouldn't you wait until he passes 2 years in office and has failed?
Just an observation but you look a little silly trying to play that game so early.
Like she was a two term Governor?LOL
Drinking whiskey so early impairs your vision of the future....LOL

Not bad idea.....
Very bad
Oh Sarge, I know you guys on the far right hate that little word,"oversight" but that is what was missing from this whole mess.
The far right in their zeal to get the evil doers forgot to follow the rules.
Pssst Sarge, the guys that would have gotten the report were not members of Al Quida but members of the Congress Intelligence Committee.
Opps forgot to wear my aluminum cap....sorry let me get it....
Ok as I was saying, please if you have inside information of any traitors in that committee pass it along to the DOJ so they can lockem up!
Here is the link of Congress men and women who are (and were) part of that committee since Cheney was playing,"hide the truth"
http://intelligence.senate.gov/members107thcongress.html
BTW when you find the traitor or traitors please pass it on to the FBI so they can arrest them.
(link also provided)
http://www.fbi.gov/contact/legat/asia.htm
This link will get you to the local FBI office so you can help them hunt down those Congressional members that are part of Al Qaida......
Well all I can say is god bless Dick Cheney for saving us from the evil of the world...Himself....LOL

WhiteHawk at 02:41 AM JST - 14th July You want ignorance? How about if I post a list of quotes, some by Sarah Palin and some by Tina Fey imitating Sarah Palin, and see how many Palin-haters on JT can pick out who said what?
So it is asked so it is done. Well, let us try and see if you can tell ,"who said that dumb statement"
Pick either Palin or Tina, but you can only pick one
1."As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border."
2."I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out."
3."We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. ...We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."
4."Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―"
5."[T]hey're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom."
6."I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'"
Okay so who said what......LOL
Pssssst this is a trick question......LOL

So your saying that your criteria for your next President is that they be able to raise a child? Whaaat?
Well, I would disagree with the way you chose the next leader of 300 million. I would suggest you rethink you criteria because raising a family and running a nation is a bit different.
1.Home maker; Pick Cheese burgers or potato salad?
President; Prepare a budget over 5 trillion dollars
Home maker; Pack the kids lunches
President; Should I commit troops to this war?
Yeah they are really close....Whaaaaat?
Home makers run their house hold, Presidents run the nation.....How does that make a home maker ready to run that nation?LOL
Well I need to be a far right winger to understand that logic......
How about this, try looking for the best that your party has to offer and then present it to the people. Rather than picking the one that may sound like he/she is saying what he/she is told to say.
A President must be the best of the best and not just a good parent.
I know I know, you guys try to say you are all for family value and la la la. But, in the last few months we have seen what your family value really stands for. (Lots of affairs and lots of those pages)
How about presenting a candidate that knows what they are talking about rather than a parrot that looks good......
Please before you pick your next parrot, try thinking about our nation! Man of man when will you far right wingers figure it out?

But in this case the Vice President of the United States ordered the CIA not to inform Congress of what it was doing. That in itself deserves to be investigated.
The CIA reports what it is doing to Congress. This time it did not because someone wanted to keep his own secrets.
The common citizen does not need to know what the CIA is doing, but Congress does. Congress holds the purse strings of our nation. If an agency asks for 10 billion dollars for project X. But then uses 5 billion of that for pet project Z then Congress must know. If the CIA is doing something it is not suppose to be doing Congress needs to know. That is called checks and balances.
But for some resason every time a far right winger comes to office they throw those checks and balances in the trash.

Some of the most evil people in history also did what they thought was best for the country they loved.
Poor excuse, but what can we expect from the far right wing supporters.
Wait, wait a minute, DickMorris are you trying to claim that Saddam was part of 9/11? If you were you better check out this video. It is your beloved Cheney talking about the facts about who attacked us;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWdq7hg4dLU
BTW, you may want to go to Iraq and help hunt down those WMD's. With your help they may find something.....LOL
Actually our nation has this little piece of paper called, the Constitution. That little piece of papers says that the VP does not have the power that Cheney had in the Bush administration. The amount of power he wielded almost made one feel that he was running a shadow government.
I know, I know how you far right wingers hate when that piece of paper gets in the way. But I want to tell you, our nation was founded on the principles of that piece of paper. So it is unAmerican to go against the Constitution, and Cheney did just that.
Instead of being praise like you want, he should be arrested for his crimes.

You are correct, no one should be intervening in the country of Honduras. BUt you are incorrect if you believe that the U.S. had anything to do with this.
This all started with Zelaya trying to take a page from the Chavez play book.
I am glad to see that you have taken note of the hand of Chavez in the politics of Honduras. He has been trying to make Latin America in his image.
He is the menace here and the Honduran Congress acted to save their democracy from someone who wanted to be a dictator.
Bushlover was correct when he said ,"Funny how these commie style dictators scream when taking power by a show of force is not shown by themselves but when it's done by themselves it's called a "revolution" and then they have power forever."
The only difference is the Hondurans moved against Zelaya before he could move against their Constitution and that is why Chavez is upset.

The Bush administration authorized secret surveillance activities that still have not been made public, according to a new U.S. government report that questions the legal basis for the unprecedented anti-terrorism program.
A far right wingers wet dream.....Spying on the people and undermining the Constitution. A win win situation for any neo-con....
Truly sad how the far right wingers love to skirt around the Constitution and laws of our nation. They must never see public office ever again......
