I saw Ted Turner On Fox news last night, the Bill O'Reilly Show to be exact. First Ted started off with comparing Fox news popularity with the popularity of Adolf Hitler during the 1930's, something he has said before. When Bill asked Ted if he admired Fidel Castro, Ted answered "why yes, Yes I do" Bill pointed out that Fidel is a murderer and a man that has people tortured, ted countered with how Fidel has such a good school system and how well trained the Dr's are, totally i

[quote who="Tova7" comment="35"]I hope this explains my stance on the subject Tova my dear.Perfectly. Thanks.I agree. I figure if something steals even a few years of my life, I don't want to spend the rest of it talking about it once I realize that's what I'm doin. Though I think in the beginning these groups might be helpful, I can easily see my brother becoming addicted to the "righteousness" of them...bragging about how many meetings he attends, like it's a badge of hono

There was a time when I was so angry at the country I refused to stand or pay any kind of homage to the national anthem, while everyone else was standing i remained sitting, then one days many years later I was moved to stand, {don't ask me why cause I can't say why} needless to say, tears started pouring down my face as I released all the anger and rage I had been feeling for so many decades, ever since I stand with pride at the national anthem.

[quote who="Nitro Cruiser" comment="6"]Well apparently the good Rev. Wright (of Obama fame) remembered Hiroshima and Nagasaki on that day. Sounds like he (and his parishioners shaking like bobble heads) needs a history lesson. And he was once a Marine, sounds more like he was an army of one - no sense of camaraderie or maybe he puts it aside to make a few bucks. What a shame.[/quote] How Obama got away with having this piece of shit for a mentor and not be questioned about it duri

[quote who="Tova7" comment="24"]AA gave me the tools I needed to get straight, once I had the tools, I no longer needed the meetings Here what is weird to me about the whole deal. The program is based on getting the tools AND attending the meetings right? So the meetings are essentially built in to the recovery.If you go into a 12 step program and don't do the meetings then you are basically saying the 12 step program isn't for you, because you can't do half of it right?

The Main Stream Media who are worshipers of Obama are going to make sure that nothing negative lands at the "messiahs feet, so the first four years of Obama where anything that is bad will land squarely at Bushes feet. Then if he gets re-elected anything bad that happens will be blamed on the Republican MINORITY.

sigh! when I read stories like this, It makes me just that much more determined to make sure something like that never happens again kupe, which is why I stay so heavily armed, I know this might sound dramatic to some, but if it does happen this is one Jew that they will wish they did not come to his house.

[quote]That picture of the running child all burned up was one of the most powerful pictures to come out of the Vietnam war. Yes absolutely, but on a brighter note I saw a follow up story (back in the late 80's or early 90's)on that girl, she was living in the US and had seemed to be doing well from what I can remember. She was in her late twenty's when I saw the story and she looked beautiful. It doesn't make up for her pain, but it's a start.[/quote][quote]Nitro Cruiseron Dec 07, 2008[

Colleen was fervently anti-gun, but mean old me made her learn how to use one anyways, just in case. now she is comfortable around weapons, knows how to use them, clean them and when to bring one out to save her life should I be elsewhere, or should I die. You don't have to love weapons to be able to use them. Nitro is right, having a no weapons at home here sign is an invite for trouble.
