You know what's funny (I seem to be starting off a lot with that phrase lately)? A lot of "rich" and super "rich" Democrats support the "tax the rich" initiatives. Now one must ask themselves "why"? You don't have to look far. How many in this administration alone got busted not paying taxes? How many are still out there? How many more will there be if the tax rates go up? How many "skirt" the laws with their "special above-the-law" dispositions? Like Kerry skipping out on the boat taxes. Whe

I'm just amused that many of these folks are also against war. Now nobody really wants war (near them at least) but I believe it is hardwired into the human mind for a reason... to thin the herd. Now that war has become so surgical with small casualty figures, this self-cleansing is not happening. As a result (IMO) one on one violence is booming. Without war, people in relatively tranquil places are just increasing the number of murderous acts. The hardwiring is kicking in, in the form or ind

[quote]Take any unit with a homosexual(s) and chances are most of the other soldiers know it. They still work, shower, live together. They’re still a functional unit.[/quote] This is very true. I've known folks like this over my 24 years of service, but I also didn't go around flashing them either. Their presence during private moments would be uncomfortable to say the least. I always ask (other males) how would they feel if I showered with their mother, wife or

[quote] And the risk of a homosexual male donating tainted blood and it being missed is no greater than a heterosexual doing it. [/quote] Also a good point. I'm straight and I can't donate (well only at "special" blood centers, cash paid for it though) due to anthrax vaccine injections. I do see Lula's point (as the current rules stand) from an equal opportunity, governmental view point. I'm for no special treatment for any group. Everyone medically ab

I've often wondered about the deafening silence concerning the Patriot Act as of late, especially since the Obama Administration kept and expanded the program. Me, I'm not opposed to it, probably because I have nothing subversive to say over the phone, especially on an international call. As for the TSA's new procedure, well that doesn't bug me too much either. The cost of safety these days, unfortunately. I am curious how many of the "outraged at touching their junk" or "seeing ones

Very sad news, indeed. It was just a few weeks ago I was reading an old article and came across one of his responses. I wondered what he was up to, not for a moment thinking the worst. Rest in peace. LW... hasn't been quite the same here without you. Thank you for update, even if a tragic one.

[quote]and of 1760 responses thus far, 87.61 % vote #3.[/quote] That's what I would say. December is almost here, if the military "really" wants DADT repealed (and my gut feeling is the majority don't, for a variety of reasons), then who am I to say don't do it. I still personally believe it would be detrimental to future recruiting efforts, especially if it becomes the gay meeting place hot spot. That will turn off many young men and women that aren't interested in that or

I'm not carrying water for the Republicans either. They need to preform, and I want to see conservative principles applied to reducing the debt, creating jobs, and putting Americans first for a change. That's my needs, I can wait on my wants, first things first. Glad your happy though Lula. California left me wan

[quote] The Corporations are only hining Indians to do the kind of work that is the equivalent of orange picking, writing codes and programs for business.[/quote] Canon (the camera guys) among others, pay $11 an hour for tech support here in Virginia. Hardly a big payday, being less than 4 bucks above minimum wage. They have no problem filling the jobs. But why pay even minimum wage when you can pay less in India? Picking oranges... poor analogy, not even close. Some companies

[quote]no.[/quote] LOL that's pretty definitive! I'll be relatively sure by the end of the first quarter of the new year in 2011. The left talk(ed) about Obama's massive intelligence (I haven't seen it, but) let's see if it's true or not. He did nothing to head off the election results, but now that he's sacrificed his pawns it will be interesting to see his next move, now that his job will be on the chopping block.

[quote]The fact is that India is only doing thje chores that the Americans do not want to do because US IT labor is too expensive to be globally competitive. That makes no sense. You are mixing 2 different arguments here. You are using that old " Americans wont do the job" excuse when it comes to what Mexicans do. The reason for outsourcing to other countries is not because Americans won't do the jobs, it's because Americans won't do the jobs for minimum wage when these jobs should
