Been watching Al-Jazeera again, dream? Jews, by the way, are Palestinians. The original ones, in fact.
The trick of renaming muslim Arabs only as Palestinians was invented by Arafat, and it has worked splendidly. Ignorant Western scribblers have swallowed it hook, line, and singer.

It is Voodooh economics, not different from what happens in another big country. Yes, we can!

Where is the contradiction? It is totally stupid, intellectually flawed, and insulting... but it is your cash anyway.

That 1.75 trillion deficit will of course be vastly exceeded once the true costs of the democrat spending programs kick in and tax revenue declines.
Lets just hope the Chinese will continue to buy those empty promises aka government bonds that this house of cards is based on.

Likeitis:
Lots of people are "being investigated". Right now, there are plenty of jihadists who are quite willing to commit the next terrorist act, many of them in Guantanamo (which the Obama admin wants to close). Are you saying they should all be jailed infinitely on the simple grounds that their faith calls for the jihad against that?
That takes "mixed message" to a whole new level...

It is not blooming name-calling! Half your DNA comes from your mother, half from your father. Is saying that now blooming name-calling? Do you want to call in the inquisition?
Sheesh!

Taiko666:
Come again? What is "rude and condescending" there? Of course, he is is half-Canadian and half-American. The Japanese "haafu" simply implies the "Japanese", that is all.
Inasfar as people could use the word in a condescending way, the same people would do the same with "double", or any other PC term you can concoct.
By the way, I am not American.

Although, in all fairness, he should follow the masters and use a teleprompter until he is confident enough to deliver good form.
Also, he should have cut out all the politically correct touch-feely BS and simply called out the "stimulus" scam what it is: All Democrat pork and entitlement spending they could dream up plus the kitchen sink... and and all relabelled as "stimulus".

What is a "dittohead"? I don´t think name-calling is a substitute for argument. Oops, I forgot... form trounces content.

No, it couldn´t be. If Hamas wants to "end the blockade" (which, by the way, allows humanitarian goods, oil, and electricity in), it could stop shooting rockets at Israel, accept Israels right to exist, and release the Israeli soldier it kidnapped.
The way it works for Hamas, they get rewarded for aggression. I don´t know of any other place that expects concessions as a reward for aggression.

I am sure Ahmedinejad is happy to "help" Iraq, aka Irans newly accquired Western province. For the Iranian mullahs, things are working out splendidly.

You assume there was "situation". What about the situation of being accused of something in secret and then hauled in by the cops on the basis of a cellphone message? How about we turn that around and try it on you?

And how do you "retaliate against the people responsible" without identifying them, including their networks inside the country?
I don´t know what you are prattling about, and neither do you, I suspect. But it sounds great... form over content!

Yep, we are firmly back to the 9/10 mentality now. A serious threat from jihadist extremists? Lo and behold now, just a figment of the imagination.
It will be interesting to see the response of the Obama administration to the next terrorist attack on US soil.

Jindais speech had content, but no form. But in today´s media world, form trounces content, so of course he gets ridiculed.
The most wonderful new President of the United States, of course, is a brilliant orator, who delivers his sloganeering in perfect form. So he deserves all the swooning he gets.

Hamas is already shooting rockets at Israel again. Never mind, they´ll get their 5 billion in aid anyway, which will buy a lot of Quassams.
Of course, the "international community" will find some sort of fig leaf... like handing the cash to the Red Crescent first, before it goes to Hamas.
No doubt about it: the glorious Jihad is on a roll!

samsark:
Half-Japanese, of course. Which is what they are. It is simply a descriptive term. Just like Joe Flaherty is half Canadian. Where is the beef??? There is no mythical conspiracy here, just a simple description.
That said, I have no problem with "mix" or "combi". Get a life, folks, and dump some of that political correctness in the gomi.
