Only if you're totally uninformed.
Let's get one thing straight. Being informed about history and seeing it with a clear eye has nothing to do with "hating America." I love America, I was born here, it's my homeland and I will take up arms against any invader who sets foot here. But America is in danger now - and has been for decades - by a different kind of enemy and if you don't know that then you have no idea what people are talking about when they protest vigorously against that enemy. So, it seems "unbelievable" to you.
The actions of men and women with objectionable agendas, who start wars for the sake of profit and power and ultimately better control over you, have NOTHING to do with the constitutional ideas that make this a great nation. The individual heroism, sacrifice and bravery of our armed forces is just beyond question. The selfish and evil plotting that goes on behind closed doors to send those individual heroes to their deaths is likewise beyond question. One thing they must do to make us willing to go to our deaths is define and demonize the enemy, make us think we are in imminent danger of attack and put out the call to defend the homeland against the evildoers. Sound familiar? All of the wars of the 19th and 20th centuries followed this script to one degree or another. Behind the scenes the warmakers let nothing as silly as "American ideals" interfere with the business of making money, collaborating with the enemy and claiming the natural resources of other peoples'lands. If you can't see their objectives clearly you aren't looking for them and if you're buying their propaganda, I assure you, they love you a lot. Now give them your money and send your children off to die for another great financial quarter, and don't expect anything in return.
This is nothing new, "leaders" have been doing this to their populations forever. That does not mean the populations, and some of their representatives, and their countries and constitutions are to blame - but there is always a struggle in the population between those who believe the nice fairy tales and those who don't. The truly evil ones like this, and they do all they can to keep the people fractured and squabbling. Otherwise, a united people is a specific danger to them and their agendas, as you can certainly understand. They don't make their money and their empires without our consent. That's just a plain fact.
America at its heart *is* an empire, a good one with the potential to shed light across the globe - but they are taking it away from us. You should be more concerned about that than you are about dissing me. That 800-pound gorilla is standing right behind you and I'm only pointing at it.
LOL! You're totally nukular, PK!
Wow, my post was totally and completely respectful and yours is totally and completely not. sm
what a surprise. Can't stand to be corrected or proven wrong, can you. Have to call everyone a liar, don't you. Got to tell people to stick things somewhere, don't you. TSK TSK TSK Anger management might be helpful.
You're entitled to your opinion. I guess it depends on what side of the spectrum you're on.nm

We're not defending Bush we're pointing out the obvious
All you see in your view is Bush, Bush, Bush. Nobody else exists. You have yet to answer any of the questions I posed yesterday. We're not the one obsessing about Bush. I'm sure you'll counter that with I don't owe you any answers! It's really telling that for five or six days this board was mute about the Israel/Lebanon situation. You were too busy posting trash news about Bush like nothing was even happening, but I know that the left has wait for its talking points. You all cannot formulate opinions on your own. You have boilerplates ready to go though. *This is Bush's fault because _____________ but you have to wait on Howard Dean, Bill Clinton, etc. etc. to fill in the blanks for you. It's not just a phenomenon here but with all the left. You can count on at least two days of silence when something unforseen breaks out in the world, because they have to retreat to their bunkers to get their talking points straight, but it will always start with *This is Bush's fault because....
Hey, if they're smoking cigs, they're paying for SCHIP.

They're too lazy to show patriotism......they're waiting

So you're not racist but you're most definitely SEXIST and AGEIST!!!
"Someone more in our age group..."
"She should be taking care of her family."
Your true colors are showing, and they're truly ugly.
Just because they're LOSING doesn't mean they're VICTIMS.
What is it with people these days? You think that just because Hamas is getting its fanny handed to it that that magically makes them victims, and we should all weep and throw cash at them?
From the dawn of time, lesser civilizations have fallen to stronger ones.
It's why the human species survived and the neanderthals didn't.
It's why Rome conquered the Celts.
It's why the Barbarians conquered the Western Roman Empire.
It's why the British conquered the American Indians.
It's why the Spanish conquered the Aztecs.
It's why the Muslims conquered Israel the first time. But, since their societal progres seems to have permanently parked in the Stone Age, now Israel is conquering them right back.
Deal with it.
You're right. They're simply not worthy of a reply.
They're not tax breaks....they're tax credits
xx
I'm snotty, you're rude...we're even....
My dearrrr....not everyone in this country pays taxes. So you are wrong there. Obama said "spread the wealth." From his own mouth. The interview in Canada...economic parity and redistribution. Words from HIS mouth. If you believed those words from his mouth as much as you believed other words from his mouth, you would know he is a socialist. Selective memory is a wonderful thing ain't it??
You're right. They're all wack-jobs... nothing
so they try to make themselves feel important by standing around on street corners with their posters and their dollies.
Most of them are just buffoons, good for nothing other than being laughed at by the rest of us. But the ones that totally lose all reason, and go so far as to shoot people (in a church of all places...) is pretty off the deep end.
I am being totally serious. What would
I did not ask what you wouldn't believe. I am not being facetious or trying to set up an attack. I am genuinely curious what it would take for those that protest eligibility to hold office on this basis to change their minds.
Let's say Obama produces his birth certificate for verification. Who would have to attest to its validity for you to really, truly believe it?
no he is not hot and I think its totally sm
inappropriate to publish something like this on a magazine cover! He is the president of the United States not some wanna-be Hollywood star...(or is he?)
This is absolutely ridiculous. Sure wish they would put on a cover something he is doing for this country that is positive...but I guess this is as positive as it gets huh? Sickening
And I totally get that.
I understand your point of view and I respect that. Yet you are one of the few feminists who has come out and said that these vicious attacks are uncalled for. Whether or not you agree with someone or not, I just thought feminists were supposed to stick up for their fellow women. I'm just not seeing that out of a majority of feminists. In fact, the ones I have seen are joining in with the personal attacks.
yes, it is, but not totally.......it is about
creation versus evolution and all the discrepancies mentioned in the bible.
For instance: Who was Maria
Magdalene? What role did she play in Jesus's life?
totally agree with you sm
You are correct on all counts. And I do agree that Bush lied to the American people to further his agenda as a warlord. It was not about bringing democracy to Iraq. It was about domination of the oil market in Iraq. Bush and his henchmen are making millions out of this deal, while killing our soldiers and causing more tension in the world. It's the same thing his father tried to do in 1992.
It's all about greed and money.
I wonder if a president can be impeached for lying to the American public to procure his own agenda. If so, I hope it happens.
Totally agree.
I totally agree that Sadam had to be taken down, kudos to the president. What gets me is that Sadam had nothing to do with 911, and this adminstration still thinks that people are not smart enough to READ and figure that out. Yes kudos to President Bush and his daddy for taking Sadam down he needed it; but thousands are dead because of his personal agenda - see ya in church Sunday, Dubya.
This post is totally out there
This post is totally wrong. I am reporting you to the administrator. How dare you post something like this. HOW DARE YOU.
LOL.....totally clueless. So, gt.....sm
It only matters to you if a Republican's ancient ancestor was in cahoots with Hitler. But Democrats can skate, right? Right! Gotcha!
I totally agree!!!!
This woman gave the ultimate sacrifice, and to me, the opinions of people like her hold more weight than almost anyone's. She has my admiration and respect.
I totally agree! NM
That is like, so totally lame. nm
You are totally twisting what the OP said.
They said, and I agree, that there is a difference between the people looting for food, water and bare necessities than those who are looting for guns, purses, and accessories. No one is promoting people who are stealing guns and harming people.
Take it at face value, and leave the spin for the conservative board.
I agree totally
I feel sorry for the the kids, but I also don't think throwing money at the parents is the answer. I've had an example of a deadbeats in my family who get a check, but the money hardly ever benefits the children. They pocket it and spend it on their selfish desires. To help kids the best thing to do for them is free school lunches and WIC. Food stamps can be traded for drugs and sold for cash. I'm glad to see most states are going to the debit card system with no cash back ability, however, I'm sure the scammers will somehow find a way around that too eventually. I think putting the money directly to what benefits the children is better than a check.
I totally agree. It's at the very top
of my list, as well. More importantly, I certainly hope it's at the top of Harriet Miers' list.
I can't believe you mentioned the Groene children!! I just talked with my daughter about that very case not five minutes ago, and I brought up Bill O'Reilly's campaign regarding this issue to her.
I don't care for Bill O'Reilly, but I do applaud his efforts in changing the sentencing, going from state to state and exposing judges who give out these ridiculous sentences. These people deserve life or worse.
I totally agree!
And when contraceptives are outlawed, as well, there will be more pregnancies than ever!
I totally agree.

Yup; totally agree with you.
This is totally wacho...sm
To even put this idea together is wacho much less to make a Christmas greeting out of it. These people are so possesed by politics that they are willing to use Christ to get it.
Shaking my head in disgust. Pathetic.
I totally agree, but I
just wonder how true this really is. If a 4-year-old is navigating around on a computer and answering POLL questions, how interested is this 4-year-old going to be in BARBIE? Shouldn't she be studying for high school finals?
To me, that's totally understandable.
If anyone hurt any of my children, I'm not sure what I would do. If people can't count on the system to do its job, in my opinion, I don't blame them for taking the law into their own hands, and I believe they're justified.
I just wonder what a jury would do to such a parent. As messed up as the judicial system is, I could see the parent thrown in jail while all the other abusers run free. 
Totally agree!
Too bad you right wing whack jobs are selling it off to the highest bidder.
I totally agree.
Very well said. 
I agree totally. sm
And that's why I got banned. Go figure.
I totally agree. sm
And I don't believe I have ever asked those questions of any administration.
Also totally agree - sm
The bigger/biggest danger that our country faces is from those who opine without being informed.
I totally agree. nm
I totally agree - she really went over the top!!!...NM

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
NO DEMOCRAT in the white house!!
I totally agree!
I'm not an Obama fan but I just don't think I would want the support of such a racist person as Jesse Jackson especially since he wants to castarate him. Sheesh. Wouldn't it have been a hoot if Obama had put Jackson in his place. I sure wish someone would and maybe he would shut up for once. Activist my rear end....he is just a man out to make himself heard no matter what crap comes out of his mouth.
I truly don't know how Jackson could say he supports Obama but then say what he did. That isn't support.
I totally agree. nm
.
Totally agree on that one
It isn't my business who politicians screw behind closed doors. I couldn't care less really. Does Edwards having an affair make my life miserable? No. However, I must agree that if that information does come out and they lie about it.....that does show me what kind of person they are. Instead of admitting their mistakes and saying sorry.....they lie about it and make things worse........that is what I don't like.
Just like Billy Boy....I couldn't care less if he stuck a cigar up Monica's yahoo, but why lie? He could say no comment or tell us it is none of our business but to lie....different story.
I guess my biggest annoyance is the media because they thrive on finding out trash like this about people and exposing it for the world to see. I just find it really sad that I looked at my TV last night and saw the words "BREAKING NEWS" and it was about Edwards having an affair. Sorry....but that, IMO, shouldn't be BREAKING NEWS.
Totally agree with you too.
Right on - I would say I blame the media more than Edwards. I sit here yelling at my TV "This is NOT breaking news. The war in Georgia is breaking news, Iraq is breaking news, not this". Also that missing girl in Texas is not breaking news. They keep flashing it - breaking news, girl in Texas missing. Well she's been missing and I'm really sorry about that but that's not breaking news and if they are giving this story that much attention is she the only missing girl in America? My understanding is hundred and hundreds of kids in America are missing/abducted or whatever. So why don't they all get equal air time? Now...finding her alive or finding her body or finding the killer would be breaking news. But then again not from morning til night and never giving us any news about the what's happening in the war and stuff that is affecting us financially.
I totally agree.
But what I have heard is that he's willing to bring some change. Of course, Joe Biden, is a representative from my own state, so who doesn't love that? He's made Delaware famous! Thanks Joe!!! Make 'em sweat!!!
Totally. Besides the B-52's likeness, the
I'm sure that win or lose for the 'pus, Tina will be making a few guest appearances on SNL in order to play part of the schoolmarm/beauty-queen/church-lady. I'm even thinking of dressing like her for Halloween this year (as are probably 100,000 other people!) If nothing else, she sure is fun to watch.
I totally agree
I believe that education should be about questioning and exploring all the information out there, not just spitting out the facts that are laid out in textbooks. If we're not giving our kids all the information, we are cheating them educationally. How else are they going to learn to decide what choices and beliefs are right for themselves if we don't teach them that it's okay to think for yourself?
The Republicans are totally AGAINST
Just wait. If they get in office another 4 years, there are freedoms we have today that could disappear tomorrow.
totally irrelevant
smacks of fox drones endlessly repeating attack points over and over and over. I prefer to see DIFFERENT information nightly when I watch news/opinion shows.
totally agree
We should help others, yes. That would be help those others who actually deserve and need the help and CANNOT help themselves and not the ones too lazy or disinclined to help themselves, those who feel "entitled." Welfare and such social systems were supposed to be a temporary situation and were supposed to be paid back when the recipient got back on their feet. Not working and supporting one's self and family was humiliating. We have let it become a way of life for far too many people. The Obama plan would encourage more of it. We need to put an end to it, not increase it. I don't know anyone, while most of us barely taking care of ourselves and our own families, who wants to be supporting someone else who isn't willing to do for themselves. Selfish? Maybe, maybe NOT, but personally I want to be the one to reap the benefits of my own hard work and decide in what way I choose to help others, not have it shoved down my throat.
