Somalia wasn't a threat. Neither was Rwanda. Neither was Afghanistan. Neither is Darfur now. Odd how we pick and choose when we are, and were, wrong not to act. yeah it is odd...but that's America!
Those issues are enhanced everytime a prominent journalist or politician suggests the reinstatement of a military draft, based on the premise that I and others have not done our duty if we didn't serve. It's insulting, it's condescending, and it's downright wrong. i'm sorry, i just don't see that as being the point of bringing up the draft. if you take it as a personal insult, than that is your perrogative. what i hear when the
Okay "23" senators thought that way...what about the other 77 that didn't? i think that reflected the society at large at the time...i'd have to look it up , but at the time of the invasion, around 75% of the people did support it as well. and many of the 77 who did support the invasion have admitted their error either publicly or just
furthermore, the federal goverment does choose to fund scientific research. is it their "job" to ban this type of research if their funds are financing the research? or is it their "job" to allow this type of research since almost all the scientific community wants it, and a vast majority of taxpayers say "yes" to it? again, if you want to contend that the goverment should immediately halt all funding of all scientific research, close down the CDC and do whatever it takes to get out of
I never saw anything convincing posed as to why it was the federal government's job that is not the issue. complaining about it over and over again doesn't change anything. if you hold the philosophy that goverment is responsible to protect the country from invaders and pretty much nothin else, then fine, that's your philosophy. but in
I grew up in New york as you know and remember when the logo on the front page of the times was "all the news that's fit to print" was their motto. The NYT was the best news paper in the entire country. Not anymore, now it has as much veracity as the national enquirer. oh please...stop with the neoconservative mantra...the times is still "the Pa
and btw,,,ya won the stem cell debate too..despite their protest...let em whine all they want...
gene...don't worry...some of these guys think that if they just keep being "true believers" and keep repeating the same discredited talking points crap over and over that their "faith based reality" will actually become real. factis that you are right. saddam was not a threat. 23 senators saw the same thing as the rest of the senate, along with most of the nation fell for the fear game that was played, and continues to be played by this administration. colin powell reported ju
he was a damn fine coach. It's sad to see him go, but i hope everything works out for him. yeah, it's always sad...but this season seemed to be an emotional letdown for the team, aside from big ben's hardships...and cowher himself has always been the leader of that emotion. in retrospect, maybe the rooneys should have honored his request to resign after the super bowl last year. but don't cry for bill...he'll take a year or 2
She's a huge, and i mean huge steelers fan. me too...i was born and raised in and around the Burgh. Cowher's line ..."And to the fans. To the Steelers fans in Pittsburgh and the fans around the country – second to none. I want to thank you for your passion and your support. I've said this before: I'm a part of you. You can take the people out of Pittsburgh, but you will never take the Pittsburgh out of people. I'm one of you. Yinz kn
i would want to see what the times actually said, but that aside,,,if the facts you report are accurate and she killed the baby after birth, it's just sickening.
As some have anticipated, Bill Cowher today announced his resignation as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cowher, in his 15 year reign as head coach lead the team to 2 Superbowl Appearances, 1 Super Bowl win and a ton of playoff appearances. the 2 leading contenders for the job is rumored to be Russ Grimm, the offensive line coach and fellow assistant, Ken W
On Tuesday, The 110th Congress will go into what has been dubbed their "1st 100 hours." It's not technically the 1st 100 hours that the new Congress is in existence. That would end somtime Sunday if they were going by that. And it's not the 1st 100 hours from 12:01 Tuesday either. It is the 1st 100 legislative hours, meaning the 1st 100 hours that Congress is in sessi
I understand your dance around this one. Three Democrats voted against the attack on Iraq. actually, 23 voted against the war reolution,,,here's the actual vote tally from the senate website... Grouped By Vote Position YEAs ---77 Allard (R-CO) Allen (R-VA) Baucus (D-MT) Bayh (D
Yep, thats relevant, we are treating our people like the dead and dying of the French Revolution... oh wait, it isn't even in the same friggin universe. lol
This will just be the era where you condemn the Republicans for stonewalling Democrat corruption. funny thing...remember pelosi waving the "minority bill of rights" on the floor years back? this week the republicans, complaining already about thieir treatment as the minority, were touting pelosi's minority bill as well...funny...
Right now on TV I hear Pelosi whining about corruption, and the Dems are set to put someone being investigated by the FBI in the position of control over its funding. You have plenty to already be mad about if you were honestly unbiased, but you aren't. This will just be the era where you condemn the Republicans for stonewalling Democrat corruption. <
Let them eat cake!
anyane? bueller? bueller?
I know the TV show you're talking about mind of the married man (HBO) did an episode where the TIVO kept recording stuff that gay guys would supposedly like. that was a few years back...
excellent analysis...i'm not sure if i agree with everything, but the argument holds water. maybe not the only answer, but probably some of the best rationale by a "hawk."
CONGRATS on the arrival of your blessing X 3!!! best wishes to you and yours:)
