The article about New Orleans shows how the actions of Bush have added to the lack of money. He did nothing and now we have even MORE bills to pay. Gene, we could argue who's at fault for bad levee's forever, it still has nothing whatsoever to do with poverty. I live on Lake Lanier which comes under the

Take a look at this BOYS: This has what to do with poverty??
Whatever else that body politic is under it is most definitely under and subject to the State, whose only interest in the body of citizens is in whether or not they obey the law. As a private man a citizen may believe what he wishes. As a public man he must obey and uphold the law, and
My first reaction to hearing the news of this federal judge's ruling was that I would like to take him out back and put a bullet in him. Then I realized that I was thinking like a terrorist. I begrudgingly have to admit that the judge was correct in his ruling. I will say this though, I find it amusing that the "anit-pledge" people are using our own constitution to institute minority rule. If I moved to Saudi Arabia, Iraq,
Oh, just one more personal story that will help to drive my point home. I accompanied my wife recently for a regular prenatal visit with her doctor at the Emory clinic located at Crawford Long hospital in downtown Atlanta. While waiting for our turn and after having paid our $30.00 co-pay, we had two young ladies sitting on one side of us and a couple on the other side of us that already had a young daughter. The two young ladies were obviousl
and who need just a bit of help getting back to being productive members of society out there Ah Tex, if only everyone on welfare was just getting a "bit of help", we wouldn't be discussing this issue. I needed that "bit of help" before around 14 years ago. What I saw every time I went into that welfare
Although Bush cannot cover it up like Nixon in Watergate I was only three years old at the time, so I'm no expert, but I thought Nixon resigned in shame and has been one of the most villified persons in the history of American politics. What exactly did he cover up Col??
Nice thoughts moderate, could not agree more.
I speak for no one but the truth. But the weaker mentalities can't see that. They take sides which dooms them to continuance of their wrong thinking. I don't say the US kills entire families with indiscriminate bombing because I like Arabs or Iraqis or terrorists. I say it because it's irrefutalbe that the event occurred. </T

The Terri Schiavo case was very difficult for me. I am not a Christian per se so it was not a religious issue. The case really struck me on several levels but when it was all said and done, I found myself basically against pulling the feeding tube. Forgive me if I jump from subject to subject but here a few reasons why I disagreed: 1. I flat out did not trust Michael Schiavo, period. I don’t know why, I just did not. Just looking at the guy ga
Reply #7 By: MasonM You da man Mason, have you considered politics? We need thinkers like you serving our country.
Reply #3 By: MasonM Reply #2 By: Citizen latour999 I agree completely guys, I once had a nice conversation with a Rabbi who said that he 100% believed
MasonM: You are endearing yourself to me more and more this morning.
I feel obligated to say here that so would I, as an individual if left without a viable alternative. I know I didn't make that clear in previous posts. I simply do not think that we should sanction it as a nation. But I also don't call what was described in the Time article as torture either. Well s
Should Our Society Endorse Torture? One more thought and I might be accused of arguing semantics here, but I think begrudgingly accepting the fact that we are fighting a unique war and a unique enemy that may call for us to resort to some form of torture is not necessarily an endorsement o
It'll take a while, but we will eventually find out ( well not find out, but finally have proof of) the real reasons some countries preferred to continue working with Saddam. I can't wait till the liberals find out their UN support in protesting the war was all about contracts and money and not agreement with their anti-war sentiments.
We can win and still maintain moral integrity At what cost? I would rather sacrifice a little of my morality than ANY of my children. How bout you? Is your morality more precious than your family? Your friends? Your fellow citizens? A lot of people talk about the high ground, but I would be wil
It was the first to recognize the maddening escalation of health costs and urged universal health care not only to enhance the health of so many of the uninsured and eliminate the need for Medicaid, but it actually championed small and big business alike beset with insurance costs that position them unfairly in competing with dom
It continually struggles to protect Medicare and Medicaid I would invite you to visit some of the housing projects here in Atlanta where Medicaid is a way of life, not a safety net for lower income people. It is a system that invites hiding income and encourages single mothers to stay single so as not t
Tex: Notwithstanding your views on terrorist torture , I'm liking you more and more every day. Very well said, I could not agree more. While on the subject of the trial, let me be one to say that this is a case where I think the state should have to pay back MJ for his costs. That was the worst prosecution I have ever seen.While I agree with Sneddon's remarks that he ca
BTW, very nice article, I forgot to thank you for that. May I offer up a # 6? 6. You are not a spell checker. If you attack someone's spelling (more than likely typing) errors, you have lost all credibility in my book. It gives the impression that due to the lack of a viable alternative viewpoint, you are lowered to mere attacks of one's grammar. Here's a possible # 7. 7. If you must send a link, make
Zoomba, as a conservative, there is nothing that gets my blood boiling more than a liberal that simply disagrees with current policy and offers no alternative. I can learn something from # 2 and 4 myself. I have been guilty of both in a fit of anger. I like to think I am very tolerant, just not of people guilty of committing the sins of # 1.
You see, I feel so strongly about it, I subconciously posted my praise twice. Sorry about that.
