    Iraq... What a mess!

    You seem a bit surprised by this. This has been their lifestyle and has only been deemed newsworthy since the start of the war. A simple Yahoo search turned up this... http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=105225 "...the death rate is running at the rate of about 45 dead per...

    The Unfairness of the Katrina Critics

    These folks in New Orleans couldn't organize to help themselves from tragedy but they certainly can organize a party. I guess it's just a matter of priorities. They had the money to update those levees but built a statue instead. Again, priorities.

    Study: Cons are more racist than Libs

    "[I would] never submit to fight beneath that banner with a Negro by my side. Rather, I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongers, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the...

    Indictment: 3 plotted to kill U.S. soldiers

    I'm right there with you RightatNYU... As I said before, I work for a major railroad and we haul LP Gas among other flamables and explosives. Plus a forced derailment in a residential area...?...just freaks me out. The rail yard I work at is right in the middle of the "hood." We've had guys...

    Indictment: 3 plotted to kill U.S. soldiers

    It's simply breaking news...wasn't sure if anyone was aware of the situation. I don't really have a debate angle as of yet as it's still unfolding. Although, being from Northwest Ohio it's a bit shocking to say the least. Especially since I work in Toledo and obviously drive there everyday. I...

    Why are poor countries poor?

    You've convinced me. Seriously, your arguments are very sound. Even looking to this country...we are overtaxed (no matter what tax bracket you're in), underpaid (speaking primarily of the working class/laborers), and heavily burdened with government regulations (pick a business; any business...

    Which Conservative here would vote for Collin Powell in a second?

    I don't believe it's possible to make an educated decision on such a thing before a candidate expresses his/her position on the issues. Or, gives an outline of their basic platform. Then, of course, you have their history to contend with and how much of that history will influence their future...

    Should non-US born to be eligible for prez?

    Absolutely not. Personally, I even think dual citizenship could lead to a conflict of interest. In the area where I live we had a guy, Ben Konop, who was from another area move in simply for the reason of running against Rep. Oxley. Konop had some great things to say but I couldn't support...

    God gives life with the first breath

    Saline Injection Abortion: Dilation & Evacuation abortions have largely replaced the saline variety). Their extreme risk to the mother has removed them from common practice today. In saline abortions, done after the 16th week, a large needle is inserted through the woman's abdominal wall and...

    Male Rights During a Womans Pregnancy

    I've always wondered why women were given total control over abortion when the life inside her womb is not completely her own. Women are given a safety net if they feel they've made a misstake in the heat of the moment. However, men do not have that luxury. Men have to make their choice prior...
