Who is involved, Where do they stand IS it an act of terrorisom to fullfill this plan?

Hail to the great hyprocrite Paul F. Macri, Auburn, Maine President Bush is a great American, a great American hypocrite, that is. My stomach turned last Thursday night as Bush’s jet landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln and America saw him in a flight suit for the first time since he went AWOL from the Texas National Guard more than 30 years ago. Don’t those cheering sailors — who truly are brave and did serve their country — know that Dubya conveniently sat out the Vietnam War, not as a protester or Rhodes Scholar, but with a rich boy’s “in”...

Also, if you get a chance, go to FoxNews.com and scroll down to the lower part of the homepage. There's a graphic with a badge that says "PC Patrol." There's an article there about females at an all-girls college removing feminine pronouns from their Constitution b/c it will alienate transgender shemales... -sdk

From George Looney "It's the head guys who really tick me off. You dumb down at the top, so what does that do to the bottom? Who's going to stand up for us now? I just want someone smart to stand up and shout, 'Bullshit!' They tell us we're going to war and no one's saying 'Bullshit' loud enough. And the language! Listen to the language! 'Evil.' 'Evil'? 'Nexus of evil'? 'Evil-doer'? That's my favourite, 'evil-doer'! What's wrong with their vocabulary: couldn't they come up with 'schmuck'?" "What did Bush do on 9/11? He ran away and hid. Even Reagan...

Once again the news media mind-control "spin doctors" are baiting naive Americans to believe that the Bush administration's "preferred target" at this time (Iraq) was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing escapade. Those of us who have done our inside homework on the OKC bombing most certainly KNOW that this was a government/military insider job, with a special agenda for our nation connected with it...and hence we are not falling for this diversionary tactic to somehow now justify in the American minds the "war on Iraq." From my CIA-insider whistle-blowers, to General Ben Partin's exposing of the obvious government/military role...

Boy sticks out tongue, is suspended David Crowder, El Paso Times Sal Santana II, a 12-year-old Magoffin Middle School student, said he stuck his tongue out at a girl who declined his invitation to be his girlfriend. School district administrators viewed the incident as sexual harassment, suspended him for three days and are considering placing him in an alternative school. "This is crazy," said Sal's mother, Silvia Santana. "It's a shame that a guy trying to be cute with a girl can get himself into this much trouble. I don't think he even knows what sexual harassment is." El Paso...

I'm posting this topic in an effort to try to get a grip on the insanity that plagues this country. Generally speaking, I know the reasons, but it is without logic why our country continues to spiral out of control towards oblivion in regards to political, social, and cultural traits. Thus, without further ado, I will try to explain some of the many examples. In regard to politics, how can our politicians continue to promote policies that expand government control. Furthermore, how can they neglect to get involved in those areas that are constitutionally given? Not only that, but how ...

German scientists are telling the public to stop using words derived from English and use French terms instead. Armin Burkhardt, who heads the working group on language in politics, calls the project a way of "peaceful linguistic protest". He is a professor at the German department at Magdeburg University. In an appeal published by the committee, Burkhardt suggests Germans should buy billets not tickets, go on a rendezvous instead of a date and agree by saying d'accord rather than okay. He is also calling for "formidable" to replace "cool" and "bonvivant" to replace "playboy". French expressions have long been part...

Could be a plane testing for AAA? Seems to change directions. Can hear explosions in the background. Does anyone else see it?

If you thought the rabid anti-Americanism displayed by such bottom-sucking slugs as Michael Moore was as low as Hollywood can sink, think again. The producer of the CBS miniseries "Hitler: The Rise of Evil" says it is a warning to the American people that if they don't watch out the Bush administration could morph into a carbon copy of Hitler's National Socialist dictatorship. According to the New York Post, something called Ed Gernon, the CBS producer of the Hitler miniseries starring Robert Carlyle, Peter O'Toole and Julianna Margulies, says he sees the program as a warning for Americans about the...

"Human Shields Flee Baghdad" Tuesday 1 April 2003, 8:05 AM Australian human shield Donna Mulhearn has fled Baghdad for Amman before what is expected to be a bloody battle for the capital. The 34-year-old said she and five other people arrived in Jordan on Sunday night, after paying a driver the equivalent of $A1,250 to drive them out of Iraq. She said the trip would normally cost less than $A16.71 on a bus. Ms Mulhearn said she met Australian SAS soldiers about 200km west of Baghdad at a roadblock, describing them as professional. "I was actually quite relieved when I...

<p>Funnyman Robin Williams has launched a scathing attack on President George W. Bush and his decision to go ahead with war on Iraq.</p> <p>The "One Hour Photo" actor also criticizes what he sees as his country's mixed messages when it comes to national security.</p>

EVEN on Donald Henry Rumsfeld, that formidable and remarkably well preserved 70 year old who as Secretary of Defence is running the campaign in Iraq, the strain is starting to tell. Outwardly, it is the pugnacious Rumsfeld of always, the steamrollering CEO who brooks no dissent. Look more closely, however, and the lines of strain are visible. The tiredness is evident in the eyes behind those rimless spectacles. And small wonder. For he is the man in the hot seat as, eight days into the Gulf War of 2003, a once cocksure America is forced to face the possibility it...

Something Suspicious Is in the Air By Courtland Milloy Monday, March 24, 2003; Page B01 The sign above the highway leading into the nation's capital advised motorists to "Report Suspicious Activity" and gave an 800 number for the Office of Homeland Security. As a reporter, I figured this was right up my alley and set out yesterday to report on things that struck me as suspicious. For instance, near the Jefferson Memorial, I saw a five-foot-tall metal box that was hooked up to an electrical outlet and equipped with a high-tech antenna and chrome-dome receptor. What was it? I asked...

Sheryl Crow wore a white T-shirt emblazoned with "War Is Not the Answer" when she accepted her American Music Award in January. Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst was received with cheers when he said, "This war has got to go away as soon as possible" during the Grammy telecast. But when Natalie Maines of the country music trio the Dixie Chicks said from a London stage that she was "ashamed" that President Bush was from Texas, the result was quite different. Angry fans flooded radio stations in San Diego, Nashville and Dallas with calls demanding that the Dixie Chicks' music...

Protesting For Peace Activists gather against Iraq invasion (WSBT) Activists from several Michiana churches gathered Thursday afternoon to protest the U.S. military action against Iraq. The Not in our Names demonstration was one of more than 100 planned around the country. The group started with songs and prayers in front of the Morris Performing Arts Center in South Bend. They say their goal was to show the effects of war on the women and children of Iraq. "The Iraqi people are mostly innocent," peace activist King Giloth-David told NEWS22. "To have them suffer for policy disputes between Saddam Hussein and...

I'll keep it short and sweet.I've had it! Sadly, I have to tell all my friends here, that I can't take anymore of this frog-bashing. The french have been better friends to me, than anyone here could ever be. So off I go and hope the door doesn't hit me on the way out!
