Yea, cartoon boy is funny alright, like in between his ears.
So after 4 years, we are now officially at war with the Arab World. Great, welcome aboard the war on terror, pinkos.
Let me guess, you want to surrender, right?

Andy - Correct me if I’m wrong. The difference is:
You want to invade and go to war with all Arab countries because they are terrorist.
I don’t want to invade anymore countries, but would prefer if all things being equal if logistics at our ports were not being handled by a gov’t that recognized the Taliban aka Bin Laden, remember him.

Wait a minute, Bush isn’t a midget anymore! He’s fully grown! Is this a new found respect of him for his not discriminating against the Muslims or not acting unilaterally in this UAE ports deal?
Bush is finally listening to you libs!

DavidU, your facts are incorrect. The ports would not be controlled by the company from the UAE. The security of the ports would still be handled by US personnel. The new company would only have 30% control of the operations of the ports, not total control. Not saying I agree with the idea, just saying that you are not painting a wholly accurate picture

With such evidence, we will be able to PROVE that Hillary Clinton both knew of, and participated in, the under-reporting and mis-attribution of the largest contribution to her campaign to the Federal Election Commission. These are acts for which her campaign’s finance director, David Rosen, has already been indicted. These are not minor infractions; they are felonies. We also believe that through the discovery process, the Clintons will be shown by the evidence of having committed an even more serious offense- obstruction of the federal investigation into this matter that led to David Rosen’s indictment and trial. This “obstruction of justice”, or illegal cover-up, is the same crime that finally held Richard Nixon, Martha Stewart and other powerful people accountable in the past.

DavidU, if you read my post you would see that I said that security would still be handled by us and that the new company would only control 30% of the operations of the ports. So my point about your post being incorrect is true. They would not be handling all the logistics. Once again, I am not saying it is a good idea.

WHEN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TAKE homeland security seriously, it’s a welcome development. Unfortunately, Tuesday’s bipartisan hissy fit over the Bush administration’s approval of a Dubai company’s $6.8-billion deal to manage six important U.S. ports is neither serious nor welcome.
Dubai Ports World, like the foreign companies that already run the majority of key U.S. ports — including 80% of the terminals in Los Angeles — does not own the points of entry. It is a contractor that coordinates logistics. And most important, it’s not in charge of security. Port operators work with U.S. security officials (port police, the Coast Guard, the Department of Homeland Security) in charge of preventing terrorism.

I love it! Not Toyota, but watching the reactionaries.
Something comes up and there is a sect of our population that instinctively criticize everthing. These characters are the Anybody But Bush (ABB) crowd that came out strong in 2004. This ABB group is actualy the intelligent, well thought out, well informed, freedom loving individuals who are not being led. Nooooo, they are the good compassionate rational and objective observers (excuse me OO) of the world.
They are so well thought out that they at one point tell us we are stupid for alienating our allies (France, Russia, Germany, LOL) and then they will alienate a friendly government in the heart of the region Bush is trying to stabilize. They know this will not offend Muslims and make them more hostile to our efforts.
This should be fun as the info comes out.
Maybe the fact that the the terrorist in Iraq struck a big blow that may incite a civil war in Iraq will devert their criticisms?
I hope the Shiites can prove to be the bigger people and not resort to violence, time will tell. If not, it was better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.

The Iraqi government now is supported more than ever, and if its security apparatuses are not able to offer the required security, then the faithful must be able to do it, with the help of God,” according to a statement released by Sistani’s office in Najaf…………….the Iraqi Defense Ministry. “This may be the start of the civil war.”

Saudi Arabia on Wednesday became the second Arab ally in as many days to reject the U.S. strategy of financially isolating Hamas if the militant group does not moderate its policies as leader of the Palestinians.

In one of the first cases tying residents of the U.S. to the insurgency in Iraq, three Ohio men have been indicted on allegations of plotting to train terrorists and provide explosives for attacks on Americans overseas — including U.S. forces in Iraq — the Justice Department…..accuses the men of gathering detailed information on the construction of explosive vests for suicide bombers and the manufacture of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, a leading cause of casualties among military personnel in Iraq.
They must be from this religious-right group:
“The scriptures are crystal clear that when God sets out to punish a nation, it is with the sword. An IED is just a broken-up sword,” Phelps-Roper said. “Since that is his weapon of choice, our forum of choice has got to be a dead soldier’s funeral.”

Ricky: The Washington Post reported DP World a company owned by the UAE would take over the operations at six major American ports. Is this a good thing? Should American ports be controlled by the private sector, (i.e. up for sale) in a time of war? Shouldn’t the government control these operations. I understand McClellan said the Coast Guard patrols the ports. The concern is that our enemies will ship an explosive device in a container.

Just another vicious, bigoted, anti-White House dig at Bush and our UAE allies by Luckovich and the rest of the over-the-hill Metamucil-sipping flower children at the Al-Jazeera Constitution. Can’t you hippies realize that the senility is taking a toll on your minds and affecting your rational thinking. Woodstock was 37 years ago and the Vietnam War ended 31 years ago…can’t the AJC, the New York Times and other nazicrat rags of their ilk stop enabling terrorists for just one day?
No they can’t because THEY have the same hate-filled, anti-USA positions as the America-hating terrorists and jihadists. The left-wing nazicrats and the anti-USA, anti-Israel terrorists are basically one in the same.

Daniel, once again look at the facts. DP World would have 30% control of operations. They wouldn’t be in complete control of the ports.

What is stopping our enemies from shipping an explosive in a container right now?

The country’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, sent instructions to his followers forbidding attacks on Sunni mosques, and called for seven days of mourning.
Sounds like a people tired of violence to me.
Name the liberals and Al Qaeda’s only hope to win in Iraq. Gin up a civil war. They are defeated and civil war has not broken out on it’s own. So the foreigners from the democratic party and Al Qaeda have to bomb a holy site and hope that it starts a war among innocent people so that they can win a war that they have already lost.

Daniel, American serivcemen are always going to die. That is part of the job description. I have done two tours in Iraq and understand this as do all of the soldiers serving overseas. There is a job to be done in Iraq and our service members are doing one helluva job. Is that what they hear about when they come home? No, they hear about how we are losing and that Cindy Sheehan is more important than our soldiers are. And we didn’t go in under the best of circumstances during Desert Storm. We were severly outnumbered and had to rush to get our troops over there. They didn’t have body armor or up armored HUMVEES then either. Didn’t hear anyone complaining about that then did you? What bothers most of the soldiers I have served with is the amount of sheer politics being played by many of the anti war crownd. In reality how many Senators or Congressmen care about the soldiers? Not many. All they care about is embarrassing Bush and his admin

The UAE has given the US an almost infinite amount of intelligence and helped immeasurably in the capture of terror suspects. The UAE couldn’t take a public position in support of Israel even if they wanted to because the animals that are trying to kill us from an the other side of the world would eat them alive in their own backyard.

From his comments, it looks like N-GA and the other left-wing butt-boys (and girls) are into advocating for the return of the KKK and their hate crimes. I didn’t know that progressives like N-GA could be such overtly flaming bigots. N-GA said it: “Bring back the KKK, (etc., etc.)”, I didn’t know that such bigotry was part of N-GA’s planned platform for the Democratic Party. I suppose that explains the leftist opposition to the UAE port deal…I just knew that your bigotry would come out, first Tex let us all know that liberals openly support the Nazi platform and their genocidal ideas, then N-GA let us know that so-called progressives support the return of the KKK. I guess that follows in the liberal tradition of the ACLU supporting deviant organizations like NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association)…it just all makes so much since now that N-GA has revealed his flaming bigotry.

“For once George Bush, wrong on so many things from Iraq to tax cuts, is right.”
Interesting factoid in the above link. A theater in Dubai is now showing “Brokeback Mountain”.
But I digress.
Once again, the Bush administration has helped make a mountain out of a molehill with it’s penchant for secrecy and it’s refusal to even appear flexible. Or is it just being stupid??

That is the one thing I don’t understand about this. There would be no reason for the White House to be intimately involved in this, because it is really a non-issue, but if Karl Rove is really such a political mastermind they had to know that they would have to get waaayyy ahead of this story.
Either that or they have forced the Democrats to acknowledge the threat, will find a suitable compromise, and once again win on national security issues. If that’s the case, all I can say is:

RW - I think the idea presented by the article:
“Simple corporate restructuring of the deal could also address concerns over how foreign-government-owned businesses are allowed to exert control in operating U.S. ports. DP World’s operations could be conducted under a U.S.-limited liability company framework with two classes of shares — voting and non-voting.” Is one to explore.
I think for you conservatives the fact that Carter signed off on this deal, Is “little more troubling” .
I don’t really believe the whole “Strengthens our ties with a strong Arab ally” Saudi Arabia is supposed to be the “Top Dog” in the Middle East and our Ally and where has that really gotten us.
(I can’t believe I’m going to say/type this) I side with Ann Coulter on this one.
We blocked China from buying out U.S. companies, but are ok with UAE operating the ports. I don’t know its all very confusing with the impending confrontation with Iran (and you know Syria is just waiting to lend a hand to Iran if that happens) which mean oil takes a dive, then Venezuela and Chavez are just eager to stick it to Bush (Venezuela being the other relevant exporter of Oil to the US), and the fact that China and Venezuela are becoming bosom buddies with all kinds of trade deals, and China holding all the IOUs from us. I really don’t like this UAE business deal on top of that.

What’s the score? Let’s see:
Tex, from the other day, advocates liberal support for Nazi extermination of American conservatives and all who disagree with “American” liberals.
ATC, from the Port Security blog, advocates for liberals to support violence against women (rape of people’s sisters) to try and prove a senseless political point.
N-GA advocates that liberals support the return of the KKK, the hanging of “coloreds”, hate of Catholics for eating fish and violence against Jews.
and that right there is the “progressive” platform from three liberal AJC bloggers. Now rhetoric like that is how you go from two eight-year scandal-ridden terms in the White House to the political wilderness.

I’ve been quite consistent, Dusty. I don’t think the UAE deal is a threat to US security, although I’m not fond of the UAE. I’m not fond of Saudia Arabia either.
I do worry about Bush reacting so aggressively against critics of a deal he didn’t even know about a week ago. He’s still refusing to accept any possible compromise, and still threatening to veto any bill postponing the UAE sale.
Inattention, inflexibility, and hostility to honest criticism are not the signs of a good leader.

Dubai Is Said to Have Long Aided the U.S.
By ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the NY Sun February 23, 2006
CAIRO, Egypt - With the president and Congress banging heads over the safety of American ports, opponents of the United Arab Emirates deal will soon discover that America and the UAE are far closer than ever was suspected.
For at least a decade, intelligence officials in Dubai have quietly shared detailed banking records of suspected terrorists, and even neighboring officials in Iran, with American intelligence agencies.

A survey by the Pew Research Center shows that conservatives are happier than liberals — in all income groups. While 34 percent of all Americans call themselves “very happy,” only 28 percent of liberal Democrats (and 31 percent of moderate or conservative Democrats) do, compared to 47 percent of conservative Republicans. This finding is niftily self-reinforcing: It depresses liberals.
Election results do not explain this happiness gap. Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the survey began in 1972. Married people and religious people are especially disposed to happiness, and both cohorts vote more conservatively than does the nation as a whole.

Al Qaeda Blows It
This is a lot worse than those Danish cartoons
The bombing of the shrine of Imams Ali al-Hadi and Hasan al-Askari in Samarra, Iraq, one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam, has sent crowds into the streets in protest and led to reprisal attacks on dozens of Sunni mosques. So is Iraq on the verge of the long-expected sectarian conflict that will tear the country apart? Don’t count on it.
So the foreign fighters must have been stunned when Shiite and Sunni leaders rushed out statements saying they knew that the takfiri (i.e., those who accuse other Muslims of being infidels, a code word in this context for the foreign extremists) were behind the attack, and they would not let this act of brutality divide Iraq.

Hamas winning the election isolates Islamic anti Israel terror, forcing them to be accountable for their actions as a government. Plus we can cut off aid to them, which we should have never started, probably Jimmah Carter’s mistake, with Clinton heaping on an extra helping.

Just another tidbit for you opportunistic left-weenie knuckleheads: There are more U.S. Naval and military ships using the port in Dubai than there are anywhere in the world, so if port security is not a problem for our armed forces in the Dubai port in the UAE than it’s not a problem for civilian cargo ships in the U.S.
….and thanks for the support Semper Fi, that means a lot to get positive encouragement to rain acid on left-weenie traitors from a proud member of our mighty armed forces. Unlike the anti-American support from the left which just often seems to go un/anti-American organizations. Like hmmm, lets review where leftist support often goes….the KKK, the Nazis, the Viet Cong, anti-American Communist Venezuelan and Cuban dictators and anti-American terror-enabling left-weenie Hollywood celebrities (why do Harry Belafonte, George Clooney and Alex Baldwin suddenly come to mind?)…you know it seems like leftist support often goes to everywhere and everybody but where it should go…THE AMERICAN SOLDIER, you know the ones who helped to make all these precious freedoms possible.
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER…the ones who were willing to sacrifice life and limb to protect the USA amd defeat EVIL Nazi Germany and EVIL Imperial Japan so that we could sit here and have this and other conversations freely in English…oh, how soon we do forget. That’s why I don’t have no respect for those left-weenie traitors because they often don’t seem to have any respect or appreciation for their own country where they have the freedom to say whatever they want.
A lot of these left-weenie, nazicrat traitors would much stand next to Venezeulan communist dictator Hugo Chavez or Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro than they would even the President of their own country who is trying his darnest to protect them from guys like Hugo and Fidel (and Osama and Saddam and that a**hole from Iran). The guys who call for the downfall and destruction of the USA only like every second of every minute of every hour of everyday. Since they like Cuba and Venezeula so damn much why dont they move there and see how much freedom that have to dissent the first time that they disagree with the anti-American, iron-fisted communist dictator and good ole Hugo or Fidel locks them in some rat and maggot-invested dungeon.
Good ol’ Hugo and that ahole in Iran want to cut the supply of oil to the US. Now how much money do these numbskull nazicrat traitors think they will make if innocent little Hugo (or that ahole psychophant from Iran) decides to cut the oil? How much would their left-weenie, nazicrat, anti-American propaganda b-movies make if nobody can afford the gas to go see one of their pinko smear flicks? Hell! you can’t afford the gas and the jacked up movie ticket and concession prices now….guess that’s why nobody goes to see their Eurotrash garbage now.
Seems like Joseph McCarthy wasn’t too far from the truth of Hollywood being a breeding ground for communist traitors, after all. At least Ronald Reagan had since enough to realize how whacked out the pinkos are in that town (and after leaving the pinko socialist nazicrats in the dust, Reagan only went on to become like arguably the greatest President ever in the history of the world, I know the pinkos were in heavy mourning when Reagan almost single-handedly took down the evil USSR, the place that left-weenie socialist pinkos like to call “The Mothership”).

While Clinton was busy “working hard for the American people”, focusing on domestic policy, and not having sex with that woman, he was completely indifferent to international threats and as an example of his policies, allowed the Commerce Department to vett deals with China. See Ron Brown, Loral, and DNC fundraising. The list is endless, and it is fun to see Hillary running to the right.
This is also a good peek into the Clinton White House

Oh, and how could I forget the ACLU’s foaming-mouth rabid support of NAMBLA (the North American Man-Boy Love Association) and their well-known stance against the use of God’s name in public, which often shows when they’re always the first to immediately attack public postings of The Ten Commandments. It seems like if they even hear of somebody somewhere thinking or dreaming of displaying the spelling of God’s name in public, their dark army of well-trained lackey nazicrat lawyers immediately descends on that locale and threatens to bankrupt them.
So according to the ACLU, using God’s name in public is bad and shameful, but NAMBLA’s quest to molest young boys is perfectly okay and a right worth defending to the hilt. I’m glad that were all clear on that.

I see the neocons have received their marching orders from Rush & Co. The day’s spin is “Denying Middle Eastern corporations control over our nation’s port security is racism!”
Not even close, but a nice try from the tools-and-fools crowd. Though I’ll give them credit; if anyone understands racism and how to recognize it….
The only thing I haven’t heard an explanation of yet, though, is how this UAE company fits into Bush’s category of “unqualified cronies.” We all know that’s the only type of job applicant he EVER considers for important positions.

He tells it like it is: the war in Iraq is a crock; the president is incapable of any valid decision. All that saves Dubya is the lack of political courage on the part of Demcorats. Hirsh correctly labels Kerry as a political coward and doubts Hillary will be able to show the necessary cojones either.

One senior U.S. official told reporters the Saudi government was sensitive to support in the wealthy kingdom for Palestinians and could not take a position that could be seen to harm their fellow Arabs.
This statement alone is why we need to be careful about who we call a friend. Most of our “allies” pretty much have the same attitude when it comes to their people and their religion. A large part of their friendship is based on money, something the Bush administration understands very well. But when the smoke clears, we should all know which side they will be on.

If there’s a civil war in Iraq, it will have been ignited by the US. There wouldn’t be Sunni/Sh-ia bloodshed or a Zarqawi/al Qaeda in Iraq if it weren’t for the US invasion. But “don’t confuse me with facts” Bush groupies will never admit to THAT!
They’ll never admit it’s not surprising that an administration which once thought American forces would be “greeted with flowers” in Iraq and that Iraqi oil would pay for the war and for reconstruction (thanks Paul Wolfowitz!) couldn’t forsee that reckless intervention would raise the possibility of civil war.
They won’t see that it really doesn’t matter if it was Zarqari’s pathetically named “Al Qaeda of Mesopotamia”, or Sunni radicals who were behind the bombing of the Golden Mosque.
The disintegration of Iraq was inevitable from the moment the US invaded with too few troops (when you pick the timing of a war, you should definitely go with the army you want, not the one you have), too little money, terrible intelligence (even Bush says there were no WMDs), and no long term strategy.
Add in fairy-tale expectations (flowers???), criminal ignorance of sectarian tensions, and virtually no international support, and you get FUBAR.
I don’t know which is worse. Their naivete or their stupidity. Murtha’s wrong; the US can’t pull out now. But the people responsible for this tar baby should not be getting applause, medals and promotions, and their apologists are quite simply unpartiotic.

I wonder if Mad as Zell truly understands to be a patriot in a democratic society you have to question our government’s moves at every turn to make sure that the citizens are in charge and not the other way around. It’s easy to rally behind a flag, but to truly be a free people then you must question and debate all aspects of what our society does.
I also wonder if he will ever realize that even the liberals are true American patriots too..and that they too have friends and family members in this war in Iraq.
If Iraq goes into a civil war then we better get our fuzzy butts out of there becuase no country can survive in the middle of a civil war, as both sides tend to shoot at the foreigners first.
As to ML’s cartoon — I wonder how many people here realized it was a stab at the fact that Osama Bin Laden was a trained Construction engineer here in America and USA trained Construction skill was the reason he knew the key points to hit the WTC and make it fall. This cartoon makes a stab at both the DP taking over our ports and the overly trusting in people.
Now lets see - Terrorist that work with DP staff that secretly aquire security data while on their job at our ports can now use the DP ports to sneak in a nuke, and then also use the DP owned CSX Train system to move the nuke to any city they want… Fun Fun —

Now when are you going to admit that most liberal bomb-throwers are nothing more than jihadist plants, spies and propagandists for Osama bin Laden, Al-Qadea and the Taliban? Because of your buddy candide and his “up- close-and-personal” ties to Osama we know that a definite link exists between the “American” left and Islamafacists. Just might-as-well give it up and admit it.

For nearly five years, Democrats have said President Bush should use more carrots and fewer sticks in his diplomacy in the Muslim world. They argued that we need to reward our allies with trade and trust (except when we actually did it in places such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia). Liberals lectured that equating “Muslim” or “Arab” and “terrorist” is not only bigoted but counterproductive, in that it will feed the “root causes” of terrorism.

It is time that some of you Bush worshippers start caring a little bit more about your country and a little less about the President. Calling people pinkos does not make you a better American. It only shows your ignorance. Asking your government questions about why they are truly doing things,makes you a better American.
Forget all the security concerns for a moment and simply ask yourselves why in approving the purchase, the administration chose not to require Dubai Ports to keep copies of its business records on U.S. soil, where they would be subject to orders by American courts. It also did not require the company to designate an American citizen to accommodate requests by the government.
Outside legal experts said such obligations are routinely attached to U.S. approvals of foreign sales in other industries.
Lets face it, there is more to this and questions need to be asked. Anyone asking those questions is someone who cares. Anyone with their fingers in their ears is someone who doesn’t.

Wrong again, Zell. Cheering against Bush IS cheering for our country.
It’s very simple; you can be pro-Bush, or you can be pro-American. Bush is the terrorists’ best friend. America can only survive if Bush is stopped.
So choose sides, folks; do you love Bush, or America? Zell’s made his choice.

If the U.S. government interferes in this private business deal, I have heard that it will cost us a billion or more and you people are already whining about the national debt.
The advantages of letting it go forward far outweight the disadvantages that will result from our interference.

SAFETY AND SECURITY: Americans in the United Arab Emirates should exercise a high level of security awareness. The Department of State remains concerned about the possibility of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world. Americans should maintain a low profile, vary routes and times for all required travel, and treat mail and packages from unfamiliar sources with caution. In addition, U.S. citizens are urged to avoid contact with any suspicious, unfamiliar objects, and to report the presence of the objects to local authorities. Vehicles should not be left unattended, if at all possible, and should be kept locked at all times. U.S. Government personnel overseas have been advised to take the same precautions. In addition, U.S. Government facilities may temporarily close or suspend public services from time to time as necessary to review their security posture and ensure its adequacy.

My goodness, how apt:
There is nothing new about a fragment of citizens within a country hoping for its country’s defeat. What is new is how it is coming so often from the wealthy classes, and how broad it is. Worse, those harboring these poisonous sentiments are, more than ever before, the shapers of societal opinions, cultural arbiters, and prominent in the media from which Americans make political decisions. Their access and money have allowed these unelected and unaccountable activists the power to shape policy as if elected officials.
How did this happen? Fifty years of unprecedented wealth and comfort — a soft and safe life so different from world history— has allowed two generations of middle/upper middle class Americans to luxuriate in incessant piercing of its own country, criticizing and ostracizing each of its facets. What started out as avant garde self-righteousness has degenerated into a loathing of America itself: a self-hate of our nationhood, historic culture, and power.

(B)ART, Here’s more, from the same State Department Website:
U.S.-U.A.E. RELATIONS The United States has enjoyed friendly relations with the U.A.E. since 1971. Private commercial ties, especially in petroleum, have developed into friendly government-to-government ties which include security assistance. The breadth, depth, and quality of U.S.-U.A.E. relations increased dramatically as a result of the U.S.-led coalition’s campaign to end the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. In 2002, the U.S. and the U.A.E. launched a strategic partnership dialogue covering virtually every aspect of the relationship. The U.A.E. has been a key partner in the war on terror after September 11, 2001. The United States was the third country to establish formal diplomatic relations with the U.A.E. and has had an ambassador resident in the U.A.E. since 1974.

Andy, you axed me a question yesterday and I did not respond. Sorry, and here is the question;
Scooter: I agree that both the fair and flat taxes have to be implemented fairly, with some bugs worked out of both proposals. I know the percentages that Forbes uses to present his idea are more than what most in the middle class pay now, would it be an increase on them?
Alright Andy, First off, everyone will recieve their full paycheck, at least with no federal taxes taken out. Not FICA, Medicare, Income… nothing at the federal level. So right there the average joe is better off.
Now, I’m sure you know that most goods go through several stages of the production and each stage has a tax consequence for their profits. In their cost functions they will always have a tax variable that will be reflected in the cost of the final product. The fairtax would remove that federal tax consequence from all levels of production, thereby reducing the retail price of goods substantialy.
The fairtax would be an inclusive tax. Meaning the tax would already be included in the retail price of the good. For instance, they say the sales tax rate would be approximately 23%, but I would bump that up a little, so if the retail price is 100 dollars, that is what you pay and 23 dollars goes off to the feds.
All Americans will recieve a check equal to the amount of sales tax they would pay on goods up to the poverty level.
More directly to your question, since it is a tax on consumption at the retail level it entirely depends on the individuals lifestyle and consumption levels as to how much tax they will pay. Drug dealers, illegal alliens, tourist, shade tree mechanics, everyone that buys retail goods in the US will pay the tax and ease the burden on the rest of us. The individual liberty that it would afford all Americans is awesome.
I just have a huge problem with the government using a income tax to divide Americans when a consumption tax would be better. Consumption tax would allow rich people to fuel their vanity and pay taxes on the stuff they bought, at approximately the same price as now (due to the removal of federal taxes from the production process). While the average joe, if he chooses, could pay little to no taxes simply by shopping at thrift stores consignment shops, etc…
Andy I have to leave, but I will check back and hope we can discuss further at a future time.

Hey Fred: I wouldn’t know because I was too busy driving above ground in CIVILIZATION while your parents were busy as sewer rats being chased by cats while trying to steal cheese for you and your pinko rat siblings.

Oh shucks, Fred. You know Zell came from the same place as RW, Andy, Semp - all the rest of em. That SAME scummy neighborhood bar, where the parents got it on on the beer, urine, and vomit covered mensroom floor. Some things are just too obvious, eh? Same stringy haired, toothless parents. Right outta “DELIVERANCE.”

Sailor Boy -
I read the “consular sheet”. There was a general reference to Americans exercising caution “THROUGHOUT THE WORLD”. I bet that the exact same warning appears on every consular sheet for every country in The Middle East. DUH!
I specifically linked the TRAVEL WARNING LIST for everyone to see. Guess what?! The UAE is not on the list.
If you don’t believe me and think that there is some vast right-wing conspiracy to rewrite the State Department website then why don’t you, and Art, and Amelia, and the rest of your comrades call CNN and report it? You can all be famous whistleblowers and get on tv and the cover of Newsweek.
Enjoy!

Finch: Thanks my friend. You may take a breather. When these loud mouths are spewing their hate toward me they’re giving you a rest. You’d think they would lead. Lacking the ability to lead they bad mouth liberals. Yet, they forget how America got her greatness. Like Bush, he was born on third base and has been telling everyone he hit a triple.

Congratulations Danish, you’ve gotten the pinkos all agitated this evening, even more then ever. We seem to have alot of suicide flamethrowing going on. They are showing faith with their Al Qaeda brethren, attacking real Americans where ever they can find them.
I’ve found it helps to remember that these libs were most likely raised without the benefit of guidance from a tender loving parent. If they were lucky enough to survive the abortion, they usually got dropped off at a shelter, where they learned to be vicious and bitter to the extreme. I try to ignore them now, give their wounds a chance to heal without further inflammation.
It’s kind of like nation building, right here at home.

That curfew is not dissimilar to what happened when the military showed up in New Orleans and restored order. Is it now?
I think the Iraqis can handle a curfew.

Drain-o: Who is my daddy? Who is your daddy? Did your mother ever narrow it from that list of 100 taliban soldiers and 100 nazi soldiers? I think your just narrowed it down to between Teddy Kennedy and Saddam Hussein, she wouldn’t really know for sure because she was with so many guys that night she needed a traffic cop outside her backdoor (and she thinks she was with him too after Osama had his turn)

News Flash!!
One year after Brian Nichols went on a rampage in the Fulton County Courthouse, it is still not safe and appropriate measures have not been taken.
Why don’t all you whiners and complainers and Bush critics explain to the rest of us how it is that Atlanta can’t secure ONE courthouse?
Compare that to the challenges that our nation has faced since 9/11 - here and abroad. It’s no contest.

Sorry, MikeT, I can’t help you!
Look man, it’s bad enough that you are gay, it’s a terrible sickness to be fixated on another man’s anus, but to be paranoid delusional on top of that. It must be terrible what you are going through. Seek help, dude. Go to your nearest neighborhood church and confess your sins. This is a very important first step. A faith in God will help you get over the lie that you are living and will restore your dignity as a man.
I’ll pray for you.

What state has the greatest number of “segregated schools”?
Oh, that would be California - liberal mecca and motherlode of multiculturalism.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I completely oppose forced busing, social-engineering, or any liberal solution. I just find it interesting that it always seems to be NIMBY from the very people who DO try to create a perfect little “diverse” utopia - for the rest of us, while excluding themselves.

No doubt, but the point is that this is just one courthouse. Contrast that to NYC after 9/11, restoring the economy, Afghanistan, Iraq, dealing with North Korea, Iran, and everything else that the know-it-alls never have a solution for, but are so quick to criticize.

The liberal folks in Frisco would take the UAE above and in place of a U.S. Naval vessel, cause they don’t see a need for the military. But like most liberals, they won’t support the military, but will cower behind them if attacked, and then wonder who within the government left them vulnerable. YOU DID YOU DUMBA**SSES!
