Moving forward? that's because they had the wool pulled so far over some people's heads, it kept the light out.

Let’s look at it this way, when he took office our economy was thriving; when he left it was near collapse.

The auto industry was failing, the housing market was in the worst shape it had ever been in. The banking and financial institutions were on the verge of an all time melt down. The airline industry was failing, retailers were experiencing lows not seen in 30 years. Unemployment had skyrocketed; homelessness was seen in numbers far beyond anything we have ever seen in this country. Pay rates for middle class workers were growing at about half the rate of inflation, while the whole time corporate taxes were being cut and cut again.

We saw the largest numbers of illegal aliens crossing our southern borders that we have ever experienced. We started a war (with the wrong country) after being lied to by an entire administration. (fake threat, fake wmd’s, fake intel)

In the first quarter of 2007 the top 5 oil companies reported profits totaling $468 billion. that number only grew for the rest of the year. yet in 2008 Bush passed a bill that gave these same companies $28 million in subsidies (on top of the subsidies they already receive) and also lowered their taxes for them...nice of him, no?

During this same administration the average ceo's wages grew to around 300 times that of an entry level worker. The average government salary stood at about $70,000 while workers in the same fields, but in the private sector earned slightly more than $40,000

"The highest-paid federal employees are doing best of all on salary increases. Defense Department civilian employees earning $150,000 or more increased from 1,868 in December 2007 to 10,100 in June 2009, the most recent figure available.

When the recession started, the Transportation Department had only one person earning a salary of $170,000 or more. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees had salaries above $170,000."
Now maybe you can help me here….what part of this illustrious past is it that you would like to return to? ….is it the part where a political party in the United States Of America picked as its leader a man whose father bought him a diploma from Yale? Or the part where this same individual pretended to serve his country (that is, when he saw fit to show up) by signing up for the National Guard.

Unless you are an oil company executive, a defense contractor, the ceo of any energy supply corporation or one of the few entities that get no bid contracts to rebuild **** that we blow-up, I fail to see how you or this country were better off……but please feel free to enlighten me, because i am sure that check for $600.00 is just about used up by now...

Well you know it is much easier to tear down a country than build it back up. Bush had it easy, send us to war with a couple of countries that had nothing to do with 9/11, but have lots of oil. Sit back while all your rich supporters and cronies rape the country financially and make sure they make theirs.

etc...

and now Obama has to try to make up for it all. Taking the blame for it all. He really does care about this country.

So I have to be a thug in uniform to have an opinion? Talk about an appeal to authority fallacy!

Do you realize that thousands of veterans share my opinion? (Iraq Veterans against the War-http://www.ivaw.org/ Veterans Against The War-http://veteransagainstthewar.com/wordpress/)

As long as soldiers are paid by taxpayer dollars, dissent is not only legitimate-it is necessary!

Some do enjoy murdering, but for the most part they are tools of murderous politicians. The good ones (like members of Veterans Against The War) choose not to fight.

Cops are another subject entirely-but they too are illegitimate thugs as well.

the first line in the bible gen 1:1 and god created...... but if you read it in the orginial hebrew it actually says alehtav. in romans jesus says he ie the alpha and omega, the begining and the end. aplha is the first greek letter in the alphabet and omega is the last. hebrew aleh is the first and tav is the last. in original hebrew gen 1:1 reads in the begining, god, jesus created

according to the belief everyone is the sons and daughters of God, the only human that can be equated to be the true son would be Adam because Adam was the first human created in God's image by God himself and not born from woman and was the only human born without sin ..Jesus was born from woman from a bloodline of sinners

there is reference to it...those before Jesus refer to god as yahweh, others called God Allah and so on...and God has provided them and others a way to Heaven without Jesus ...Jesus is the christian's way but God is the only way

Heaven isn't an action and or something you can do or place you can go to in that sence. Heaven is a reward for how we lived our lives.

Your children have free will to listen or not listen to the parents. Do the parents reward the child when the didn't obey the parents?

He was a Democrat what did you expect?The faster we get these old fart liberals out of Congress the better.No loss as far as I am concerned.

That is not correct.


On February 11, 2010, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory released the first comprehensive update of the wind energy potential by state since 1993, showing that the contiguous United States had potential to install 10,458,945 MW of onshore wind power.[17][18] The capacity could generate 37,000,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually, an amount nine times larger than current total U.S. electricity consumption.[19] This amount is also larger than the total U.S. primary energy consumption of 29 PWh in 2005.

Wind Power by State:

Most new wind power capacity is being built in the Great Plains region of the United States, which has a favorable combination of characteristics: ample wind resources, an extensive rail and highway network for shipping outsized turbine components, flat topography which both improves the wind and makes turbine components easier to ship, and broad acceptance from local farmers and ranchers. New development in some locations, however, is being limited by lack of additional capacity to transmit power to locations where it can be used.[23] Other areas seeing wind development include the Pacific Northwest, the Upper Midwest, and the Northeast. The table below shows wind potential and installed capacity along with existing construction (through June 27, 2009).

Kansas has high potential capacity for wind power, second behind Texas. The most recent estimates are that Kansas has a potential for 950 GW of wind power capacity yet has only about 1,000 MW installed. Kansas could generate 3,900 TW·h of electricity each year which represents nearly all the electricity generated from coal, natural gas and nuclear combined in the United States in 2008.[24] This electricity could be worth $340 billion per year (at 9.35 cents per kW·h[25]).

Of course, this is only for energy consumption, but oil will be still needed to produce plastic and we still don't have a reliable alternative fuel for vehicles.

So if the law states you can stop a person based on the "suspicion of them being illegal" on sight. How do you do that since some illegals are white and some are black? How can you suspect an illegal is an illegal on sight?

Considering that racists want everyone to believe that racism doesn't exist, it makes it pretty hard to believe them.

The reason the bill promotes racism is that it states that an illegal alien can be identified on sight. "suspicion of being illegal"

How do you identify an illegal alien on sight?

Can it be done without being biased or prejudice to one type of people?

That is racism or prejudice or discrimination, whatever you want to call it, it is illegal and wrong.

it does exist and will always exist this isa one of the reasons for the conflicts in the mid east. but it is not as prominate asa some would have you believe. most of it comes form individuals and not groups

racism is real, racist people are real and racist use of authority also is real,,,,


but it is a task to seperate genuine actions from racist ones

no, but the bill goes a bit deeper than that, it might be a bit more suspect if they asked your PASSENGERS for such identification(being that they are not driving the car)

I doubt people would oppose continuing to ask for insurance paper and drivers license from drivers pulled over for an actual DRIVING violation.
