I didn't say it gave him an excuse to do those things, but go over to Iraq, stay for a couple of tours, then spout off.

The Military as a whole has a new policy where the are downsizing servicemembers throughout every branch. One of the quotes for a source in Washington stated "Servicemembers are and continue to be our greatest expense, every one we can downsize frees up money to be spent elsewhere" well what this is causing is them overworking Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen. Pushing them to work 18+ hours a day and often not in a job that they are remotely qualified for. Causing accidents, and soldiers to completely burn-out. I think this is an EXTREME case of burnout, but I still blame Washington, and the money grubbing bean counters there.

Presidio?

that doesn't even make sense. Presidio is not on the way to anywhere
Presdio is over a hundred miles south of the interstate and would be a detour of several hours out of the way. There are NO cities of any kind within five or six hours of Presidio

I think the real problem in this, has to do with the fact, that USA was trying to send over a muslim man to Iraq or Afghanistan to kill fellow muslims. No matter how you look at it, you will end up with this answer. And again, i'm gonna say it, because it's confirmed by another newspaper too, he is a palestinian. not Jordanian. Doesn't matter anyway... Imagine if you are a french origin and USA is bombing France and you supposed to go there and kill french people.

What do the dems feel? I noticed liberals mentioned and republicans but nothing on the dems.

I'm not sure america can make new jobs simply because as soon as they do, immigrants that will work cheaper than americans will get the jobs.

The stimulus package was ok, i'm sure it helped some of the people.

The site contains written and video text about proposals HR 1495, 2629, and 3217. It's the closest I've seen to sensible legislation since HR 1207. Hope you find this useful.

I find it hilarious that every single person here has jumped on the bandwagon in saying that this was a crime of religion or nationality. So far there has been nothing to even suggest this except the name of the shooter being Islamic, and a couple of "press releases" from former coworkers in the military, which is nothing but hearsay.

So far there is no evidence of anything other than a tragic shooting, on a military base. Yes history has shown us that SOMETIMES this can be due to a persons background or religion. However history has also shown us that this is even more likely to be a case of the guy needing mental help and not getting it because the military was too stingy to provide proper comp time, and treatment for those who have been under stressful situations.

Now, I am not saying he is an innocent person who was left to explode by the system, but I am not saying he was a religious jihaid (sp?) operative either. Until the fact s are known, nobody knows what the truth is.

I guess the troops weren't commiting suicide often enough with his deadly drugs, so he decided to help them along. Probably taking them himself. A satanic drug-induced psychotic pschyiatrist. When will people cry out against the way troops are 'treated' for PTSD?

Doesn't matter what you do there will always be illegal aliens, shoot them, hang them, deport them does not matter.

The only way to not have illegal aliens trying to get in your country is to be a poor, jobless, hungry and ruled by crooks, that way nobody will want to come to your country.

If I was jobless hungry like hell and have no future where I am i would want to go legally or not in a country where I have a chance.

The US claims to the rest of the world that they are the best, the land of the free, the land of opportunity and then you wonder why people will do anything to go there.

The majority of you would do the same as them if you were in their shoes.

I'm skeptical of this picture and the claim, only because I believe that it is not permitted for a uniformed soldier to modify his uniform for political reasons, no matter what those politics are.
As to the statements attributed to the three percenters, or whomever, I wont argue against them, but they seem a bit unnecessarily paranoid to me. I've never heard anyone propose even half the wild things listed ( at least not anyone who has a chance of being taken seriously). It reminds me of the left-wing claptrap I ran into as a youth, people paranoid that the U.S. was about to be turned into another nazi state, or the ravings of the folks who are sure the aliens are about to land and give us ALL anal probe tests.

I don't think I've ever heard a harsh word uttered on this board against Speaker of the House Gingrich, who many seem to idolize as the Moses of the New Conservative movement. What, don't conservatives have a problem with a spouse who cheats on his wife who has cancer unless he's a Democrat?

And do we even have to go into the Sen. Ensign affair? Or Governor Sanford? Why no clever little double entendres about them or Gingrich?

Pot. Kettle.

Billy Carter was a drunk, big deal, hell yes the USA is that bad, I'm thinking about going overseas to get a job, the pay is probably better too....The only problem with Obama is his big mouth, he's a smooth talker with oratory skills out of this world, but he made astronomical promises that can't be kept, however it won't be from lack of trying....still though he is far too inexperienced for the job, but give him credit, he surrounded himself with great people, is it enough...we'll know in a few years......My only pet peeve with him is, joining Oprah (well she got him elected, lmao) in the olympics venture and going on all these late night talk shows and charging it to the tax payer, plus he's getting paid for his appearences, maybe that time could be best spent winning the war, no not the one in afganistan or Iraq, the one here, poverty and kids killing each other over street corners.

Isn't it funny that when a cheating conservative gets caught, he needs the prayers of the other conservatives for being only human. Yet, when a cheating non-conservative is caught, it's 'grab your pitchforks' and 'those who vote for cheaters are as morally bankrupt as the cheater' (even though the vote preceded the revelation).

Bonus question: what do Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton have in common?

-Kerry O. "Sauce for the goose."

This is actually hilarious.

They are busing illegals out of our country WHICH IS WHAT THE HATEFILLED RIGHTWINGERS HAVE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT SINCE I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN and now you want to ***** about The PATH THEY USE TO DEPORT ALL THESE (BY THE HATEFILLED RIGHTWINGERS STANCE TERRIBLE CRIMINALS) (NOT TRUE BY THE WAY) PEOPLE OUT OF THE COUNTRY!!!!
