Not false, you called me Newton, Darwin, and a nasty little wretch - see message
When I never called you anything. After you called me Newton I called you Einstein. And you even made reference in one of your posts that I was an a@@ without coming out and writing the "a" word.
This IS getting childish, but after reading your posts attacking me I said enough, keep your name calling to yourself.
One poster said it's childish and I do feel it is childish. If you hadn't called me those names when I clearly didn't call you anything then I would not have posted. But it was getting to the point that everything I was posting about you were replying calling me things. While I am all for a discussion with people who have a different opinion than mine I should not have to keep reading the negative remarks about me personally.
Someone else said I have the nasty attitude. I believe she probably agrees with a lot of your posts and is defending you. So I took her challenge and read through the last 3 pages to when I first began posting.
I've even copy and pasted all messages in a word document if your interested. But never once in any of my posts did I call you or any other person names. I only called you Einstein after you called me Newton.
Having a difference of opinions is one thing, and explaining why but there is never any need to result to name calling. The moderator has expressed that many times.
But at least I don't feel alone because I read some other posts where you called someone a prophet and a snake when they hadn't said anything bad to you.
So please, be my guest, you show me one post that I started off calling you names. I don't take this personal, this board is to discuss issues. I'm always welcome for quality discussion of issues. I know a lot of people don't like their posts challenged but when I feel something is wrong I will write a post. I don't post to every post on this board like Nasty Attitude said I did. I went back through the pages to when I first started posting and there are only a few posts I replied to.
And when I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong. This time I am not wrong. And I'm respectful to other people. Everyone is entitled to their viewpoint. But we should not be badgered and called names because of our differences in opinions.

she's here 18 hours a day
7 days a week. Takes a 6 hour break to hang from the rafters in the attic.
I don't think bar hours ...(sm)
are really the issue. If people want to get drunk they'll do that whether or not the bars are open. I think the larger issue is that so many people will be there at one time. Anytime you put that many people together (regardless of the reason) there will always be the few that act the fool.
Not if you know that there are 24 hours in a day.
Lets break this one down. If she posted in the morning, it means she get to count the hours in today. So, that means we have 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and part of 20 to get through. I have listed them so (assuming you can count to 14) you can finger count them and see that she is on the mark. Besides, If she didn't count today's hours or left out the ones on the 20th, you guys would be all over her like a cheap suit on a used car salesman telling her she is trying to jump the gun.
Could you get anymore petty than this? Suck it up. Time is short no matter how you slice it and before you know it, he will be sworn in. Deal with it and while you're at it, why can't you simply let somebody be excited and feel good about something for a change? Not all of us choose to wallow around in self pity, look on the dark side 24/7/365 and forecast the end of the world every time we open our mouths.
Why? Because he took a few hours off
Much ado about nothing.
They have to complete 40 hours of
community service each year. The district provides a list of opportunities for them to chose from. If they want to do something that is not on the list, such as initiate their own project, they simply have to have it approved beforehand to be sure it will count toward their credits. Scouting activities, NHS CS commitments, etc., all count toward this requireement.
As of 1 pm EST only 11 days and 22 hours to go
Now if we can just keep W's hands off any fountain pens, we're home free.
Only 14 more hours, and Bush will
I am so glad to say, we're dumping Bush today,
At last it's finally time, to rid us of that SLIME.
He quite unmercifully, screwed our economy,
But no more will he vex us, he's going BACK TO TEXAS!
YAAAAYYYYYYY !!!!!!!! (And good riddance, too.)
can't even MT - restrictions say he cannot sit more than 2 hours!
His restrictions are that he cannot bend, squat, lift, climb, crawl sit more than 2 hours, stand more than 2 hours...
but in that 24 hours important information
could get away. The NSA should be monitored, but 24 hours on wiretaps that need to be done right now is just not realistic for accurate intelligence gathering.
When you dial into a phone line you've just given up your right to privacy. You are not guaranteed privacy on phone lines owned by private companies. There is no privacy contract of any sort when you dial a phone. That's where the disconnect lies. Pardon the pun.
I said warrant within 24 hours of taping...sm
None taken...However the private company is providing a *service* to you and the consumer should have rights.
It's 4 hours 15 minutes, an HBO special...sm
Yeah Spike Lee put it together.
Saddam's in his final hours....sm
By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The official witnesses to Saddam Hussein's impending execution gathered Friday in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone in final preparation for his hanging, as state television broadcast footage of his regime's atrocities.
With U.S. forces on high alert for a surge in violence, the Iraqi government readied all the necessary documents, including a red card - an execution order introduced during Saddam's dictatorship. As the hour of his death approached, Saddam received two of his half brothers in his cell on Thursday and was said to have given them his personal belongings and a copy of his will.
Najeeb al-Nueimi, a member of Saddam's legal team in Doha, Qatar, said he too requested a final meeting with the deposed Iraqi leader. His daughter in Amman was crying, she said 'Take me with you,' al-Nueimi said late Friday. But he said their request was rejected.
An adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Saddam would be executed before 6 a.m. Saturday, or 10 p.m. Friday EST. Also to be hanged at that time were Saddam's half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, the adviser said.
The time was agreed upon during a meeting Friday between U.S. and Iraqi officials, said the adviser, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media.
Saddam will be handed over shortly before the execution, the official said. The physical transfer of Saddam from U.S. to Iraqi authorities was believed to be one of the last steps before he was to be hanged. Saddam has been in U.S. custody since he was captured in December 2003.
Al-Nueimi said U.S. authorities were maintaining physical custody of Saddam to prevent him from being humiliated before his execution. He said the Americans also want to prevent the mutilation of his corpse, as has happened to other deposed Iraqi leaders.
The Americans want him to be hanged respectfully, al-Nueimi said. If Saddam is humiliated publicly or his corpse ill-treated that could cause an uprising and the Americans would be blamed, he said.
Munir Haddad, a judge on the appeals court that upheld Saddam's death sentence, said he was ready to attend the hanging and that all the paperwork was in order, including the red card.
All the measures have been done, Haddad said. There is no reason for delays.
As American and Iraqi officials met in Baghdad to set the hour of his death, Saddam's lawyers asked a U.S. judge for a stay of execution.
Saddam's lawyers issued a statement Friday calling on everybody to do everything to stop this unfair execution. The statement also said the former president had been transferred from U.S. custody, though American and Iraqi officials later denied that.
Al-Maliki said opposing Saddam's execution was an insult to his victims. His office said he made the remarks in a meeting with families of people who died during Saddam's rule.
Our respect for human rights requires us to execute him, and there will be no review or delay in carrying out the sentence, al-Maliki said.
State television ran footage of the Saddam era's atrocities, including images of uniformed men placing a bomb next to a youth's chest and blowing him up in what looked like a desert, and handcuffed men being thrown from a high building.
About 10 people registered to attend the hanging gathered in the Green Zone before they were to go to the execution site, the Iraqi official said.
Those cleared to attend the execution included a Muslim cleric, lawmakers, senior officials and relatives of victims of Saddam's brutal rule, the official said. He did not disclose the location of the gallows.
Raed Juhi, spokesman for the High Tribunal court that convicted Saddam, said documents related to the execution would be read to Saddam before the execution. The documents included the red card, al-Maliki's signed approval of the sentence and the appeal court's decision.
On Thursday, two half brothers visited Saddam in his cell, a member of the former dictator's defense team, Badee Izzat Aref, told The Associated Press by telephone from the United Arab Emirates. He said the former dictator handed them his personal belongings.
A senior official at the Iraqi defense ministry also confirmed the meeting and said Saddam gave his will to one of his half brothers. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Saddam's lawyers later issued a statement saying the Americans gave permission for his belongings to be retrieved.
An Iraqi appeals court upheld Saddam's death sentence Tuesday for the killing of 148 people who were detained after an attempt to assassinate him in the northern Iraqi city of Dujail in 1982. The court said the hanging should take place within 30 days.
There had been disagreements among Iraqi officials in recent days as to whether Iraqi law dictates the execution must take place within 30 days and whether President Jalal Talabani and his two deputies had to approve it.
In his Friday sermon, a mosque preacher in the Shiite holy city of Najaf called Saddam's execution God's gift to Iraqis.
Oh, God, you know what Saddam has done! He killed millions of Iraqis in prisons, in wars with neighboring countries and he is responsible for mass graves, said Sheik Sadralddin al-Qubanji, a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, known as SCIRI, a dominant party in al-Maliki's coalition. Oh God, we ask you to take revenge on Saddam.
I posted this 12 hours ago. Did it take you that long
Little language lesson for you. Could've, as in could have....subjunctive mood, hypothetical. Go figure. The only fools here are the ones who think the hate machine is going to resurrect their tanking campaign.
Coud'a Worked 80 hours too
But after 12 years at my other much better paying job that included 22 years with the company, they eliminated all 8 of our jobs. So here I am still at Medquist and a daughter just turning 18 and not working at all. Would you believe they did this on 11/04. Then I voted for McCain. I was disillusioned with Obama even when he was still running.
!3 hours, 57 minutes and Bush will be out, out out.
How many millions and millions and millions of other children are doing the same thing? Take me for example. 64 and counting every single second.
4 hours a day of rocking and chanting...........
--
Children were scheduled several hours each a.m.
--
Survey: How many hours a day do you spend on these boards? Please?! Thx. nm
.
The debate takes 2 hours. Have it in Washington if that is...sm
where McCain feels he needs to be.
That makes the 3rd time this has been posted within the last 6-8 hours (nm)
x
'a couple of hours??' Are you feeding charcoal?...nm
nm
He was signed up for Islamic teachings 4 hours
nm
Which can be said for BOTH parties. :-)
nm
I hope you all enjoy working an extra 10 or 20 hours
So you can give it to Obama to give to the people who don't work. I'd rather spend the time with my famiy.
Yeah, well, I've worked 80+ hours this week....sm
like I do every week. I've been busy watching the spell Obama has over you......so gullible. And I'll be watching to see how long it takes for you to become disillusioned.
Here are some other parties and their candidates.
The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr, the Constitution Party has nominated pastor and radio talk show host Chuck Baldwin, and the Green Party has nominated former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Ralph Nader declined to seek the Green Party nomination and is running as an independent candidate. That is in addition to the Ron Paul fans as well as McCain and Obama.
What did we get out of the debate last night? That same ole crap Obama and McCain have been throwing around since the get go. Imagine what that would be like with all these other people thrown in the debate as well.
I think you have the 2 parties mixed up. (nm)

Tea parties across America
first here is a great video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA. Also, many states, including Chicago, are actually hosting tea parties throughout many communities and they are gathering a large following. We could be on our way to a revolution.
So you believe we need separate parties to
nm
Yes, that is true, BOTH parties have to...sm
find newer, stronger, wiser candidates, real workers for the American people, NOT lobbyists or special interest groups. Does such an "animal" even exist in politics???? I am wondering. And as for Pub candidates, had Mr. McCain had more, better ideas for the economy, the war, etc., I was willing to vote for him. But after listening to every speech and debate I could, I was horribly disappointed in this brave man. And when he picked Palin, well, let's just say it was like a sign from God saying "Don't go there." JMHO, thanks for your post, and I, too, felt so bad about how Micheal Phelps was VILLIFIED for perhaps taking a hit off a bong. C'mon, he was SUPERMAN for America, and one youthful mistake that happened in private, and no on knows all the circumstances....so wrong how they made this kid feel!
It looks to me like they have all been working parties too -
One of the lines even said that it was a "hamburger and hotdog" affair for the congressman; and it also plainly stated that Obama had left the party before the conga line started - but who cares anyway?
Do you think just because he is President he is not human and does not like to interact and have fun? Do you not think that every President before him has entertained and enjoyed themselves at their "HOME"?
And these Tea Parties are funny because?????? ...
Rachel Maddow is a mean 5 letter word.
I am one of the organizers of a Tea Party in my city. The little people cannot do anything to the politicians, and true, this may not amount to much, but if it makes even ONE elected official take notice then the purpose has been served.
Perhaps if more people got out and did something rather than laughing about this, we ALL could make a difference. But then that is just my opinion.
The corruption is pretty even in both parties. sm
The current administration calls itself conservative, but they definitely do not represent my beliefs. I believe in freedom, peace, and prosperity, rights for everyone, and bias towards no one, and have the deepest respect for the Constitution. Except for a few individuals, none of that exists with Democrats or Republicans. I do mean the politicians, not the people.
Free market capitalism produces long-term growth. Socialism and middle-way economic interventionism by the state produce poverty and bureaucracy. If the goal is to keep poor people poor generation after generation you should promote socialism.
What we currently have is a plutocracy. America is one big giant corporation, and the very affluent do control our political process. Those who are honest call them fascists.
I would really like to see those on the left unite with those on the right to do what is right. We are leaving one helluva mess behind for our children and grandchildren, and generations after. The best way to start to do that is become better informed (not the TV news) and get active.
Both parties have raided it since the first raid...
which I still think was during a Dem administration...I will have to research that more.
Well, since corporate america provides most of the jobs in America...what is the answer to that? Socialism, where we all fight for a spot on the government teat?
Class warfare...generally always works because it is the human condition to want what the other guy has without having to raise a hand to earn it. Always easy to stir people up using class warfare. Then all of a sudden you have a dictator running everything and people are no better off than they were before the great benefactor. Ask the venezuelans how that is working for them.
You're right about both parties being politicians
and I guess it just boils down to a lesser of the two evils! This is such a simple thing, I just don't understand why you wouldn't just prove it to shut everyone up.
I hate to say it but BOTH parties caused it!
Wake up, America.
Yeah, I could live without the parties myself..(sm)
The problem though is that when you talk about just issues, then the same lines (party lines) will be drawn. You will never get everyone to agree with you, and until everyone is willing to go to the middle (which will never happen), we can forget the having no parties deal. I think differing opinions are good and are what make sites like this interesting. It makes everyone look at both sides, whether or not they like it. Yeah, I'm sarcastic and will argue till the cows come home on some issues, but I'm obviously enjoying it or I (like everyone else) wouldn't still be here...LOL.

There is considerable reason for ardent supporters of both parties to be increasingly concerned about the direction the country is being taken (shoved!) by the Obama-Pelosi-Reid troika, which has already shown that it is far more radical in its liberal agenda, in its contempt for states' rights, its palpable fear of conservatives, and in its "globalism" than many Democrats can stomach. The pendulum has swung too far, and now it threatens to come off its hinge entirely. It must be swung back toward the middle before it is too late.
Can it ever become too late? History says "yes" - and the tipping point can be reached with astonishing speed and little warning. I never cease to be amazed that so many Americans seem to be so ignorant of history that they have no real appreciation of how little it takes to destroy even the mightiest of nations, or how many seem to believe that "something" would never let this happen to America. They cannot imagine a world in which there is no America or, what is more likely, an America that becomes an extension of the socioeconomically incompetent system of "government uber alles" that now literally stinks up Europe.
Here's a very disturbing oxymoron about the "troika" that the mainstream press has not bothered to look into: Given that the world is quite obviously becoming more dangerous rather than less so, and given an administration that believes so strongly that big government spending is the solution to the current recession with massive increases to almost every government agency, how is it that the Department of Defense is the only skeleton at the feast? With extraordinary ineptitude, the day after North Korea defied the world and launched its intercontinental ballistic missile, the Obama administration announced defense cuts, including the missile defense program - which has shown that it works.
Now we have a grave situation developing with respect to illegal immigration. Not only are the labor unions beginning to collude with the illegals, but the number of "anchor babies" born in the US to illegals has nearly doubled from 2.7 million per year in 2003 to over 4 million in 2008. Is there anyone on this forum who understands what is happening here?
I know that Americans of most political persuasions, including independents, are becoming very alarmed, as well they should. What concerns me now is that we might already be past the tipping point. We must restore two-party government to Washington in 2010, or I believe there will be no turning back from this calamitous course.
Turnout for tea parties is pathetic!
I just saw coverage of some of the Mad Hatter's tea parties, and the turnout is pathetic. I also don't see any government agents harassing the crowds, as some paranoid posters here claimed they would. Much ado about nothing!
Bet the African-Americans at the TEA parties
