My biggest fear is that our country will end up turning on Israel which would sure put us on the wrong side in the end times.....which I think are near.

It'll pass just like it did in the 60s. n/m
I'll pass on that one, thanks!
This was meant to be a joke right?
Merely an observation. I'll pass on this and
Sam is hateful because sam is hateful. Her posts speak for themselves.
I'll pass on the kool-aid (nm)

What wishing? It'll probably be true. Lots of hangovers on Wednesday from all the partying.
Not wishing anything on anybody. However, I bet you felt real good after you thought that your one liner up, didn't ya. But that's what we've come to expect from you, so it wasn't really a shock.
You'll think differently when it all comes to pass...O will be a failure and make us
it'll be worse....just wait and see...already is and things coming to pass...and yet

She said it was the NYT. Want fries with that? NM
Do we want fries with that?
Whoa, gourdpainter...this is spooky!
I was pretty much going to start a thread that said the same thing.
There was one main reason I voted for Barack Obama: Because I was sick and tired of Clintons and Bushes. I felt they were merely opposite sides of the same coin. (I particularly was uneasy with Papa Bush's "adoption" of Bill Clinton and the unusual "coziness" that developed between the two families.)
I really truly believed Obama and believed IN Obama. My first "red flag" went up when he appointed Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff. I realize that Israel is supposed to be our friend, but do you realize just HOW many government appointees have dual citizenship with Israel (starting with Michael Chertoff, who's running "Homeland SECURITY")? Now, I believe that Emanuel revoked his Israeli citizenship when he turned 18, but there are a BUNCH of other ones that still hold dual citizenship. At some point, I think we have to present somewhat of a neutral stance in the Middle East, and I would question a government employee's loyalty if that person holds dual citizenship with another country.
Then when I heard that the Hillary for Secretary of State thing WASN'T just a rumor, I almost fell out of my hospital bed. I remember during the debates how hawkish she was regarding Iran and so willing she seemed to be to start yet another Bushlike Middle East War (confirming, in my mind, the "two sides of same coin" thoughts I had).
I HATE the negative "gut feelings" I'm starting to have about Obama. I HATE the fact that after almost eight years of mounting distrust of this government, I'm going to be skeptical about the person I thought was better even before he takes office.
I hope I'm wrong. If I'm right, however, I don't see much point in ever voting again. If the thread below regarding the one-world government comes to fruition, though, voting may not ever be an issue again in the former United States.
Okay. Two posts, and I'm wiped out for the day! LOL.
Have a great day, everyone. 
So you are obsessed with chili dogs, cheese fries, whirling dervishes
you cannot manage to focus on the subject at hand. Like I said, dear, you are a bit confused.
PS. FYI, the Sufi Dervish practitioners are famous for being a source of wisdom, medicine, poetry, enlightenment, and witticisms, so thanks for the compliment.
I respectfully request
that you not infer that I am not a Christian. I am certainly aware of David and the many other Biblical people. If memory serves me correctly Saul (Paul) was on his way down to Damascus breathing fire in order that he might persecute some more Christians.
irrational request...
Maybe you need a reboot like your dear Obama!! huh?
I do wish we all could make a new selection because all of his mistakes are systems errors!!
Perhaps you could make your request through
the "big bad," as this poster was the first to use the term, "Mother Bridger." Hummm, one in the same maybe? Or just coincidence? Oh, Brother!
There was an apology request.
The Security Council must apologize for infringing on the North's sovereignty and "withdraw all its unreasonable and discriminative resolutions and decisions" against the North, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
Otherwise, the regime "will be compelled to take additional self-defensive measures," including "nuclear tests and test-firings of intercontinental ballistic missiles," the ministry said.
I would like to request an audience with Pope Bridger.
There is so much we need to discuss!
Not worried. O's request for a special prosecutor to investigate
DOJ regarding the pub party's umpteenth chapter in dogging this group will undoubtedly uncover both sides to this story...can you say voter suppression? How about election results challenges ala 2000 and 2004? Third time isn't always the charm.
A bipartisan prayer request viewed as provoking hate.
by taking this kind of position and posting these kinds or rants.
Obama's suspension request draws IMMEDIATE PRAISE from across the globe.
A few hours after being sworn in, US President Barack Obama has asked prosecutors to seek a suspension of Guantanamo military trials, a decision welcomed by the world as a first step towards its closure.
"In the interests of justice, and at the direction of the president of the US and the secretary of defense, the government respectfully requests the military commission grant a continuance of the proceedings," said prosecution documents cited by Agence France Presse (AFP).
Obama wants all pending cases, including the trial of five on charges of plotting 9/11 and Canadian Omar Khadr for allegedly killing a US soldier in Afghanistan, suspended for 120 days.
"[This would] permit the newly inaugurated president and his administration time to review the military commissions process, generally, and the cases currently pending before military commissions, specifically."
Military judges will decide on Obama's request later on Wednesday, January 21.
The special military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees were established in 2006 by the Bush administration to try them under separate rules from regular civilian or military courts.
The Bush administration has declared the hundreds of detainees held at Guantanamo as unlawful enemy combatants to deny them legal rights under the American legal system.
Twenty-one people have been charged and 14 out of an estimated 245 remaining prisoners have appeared before judges.
The Pentagon had refused to unveil the body of evidence to justify the prisoners' continued detention, claiming it would endanger national security.
Obama has vowed to close the notorious detention center.
His attorney general designate Eric Holder said this month that the military commissions did not provide enough legal protections to the defendants and that the Obama team was already taking steps to close Guantanamo.
Welcomed
Obama's suspension request draw immediate praise from across the globe.

Finding those Bachmann, US-style weath distribution and prayer request for O's GM
Hate-generating slurs don't blink an eye, even with Obama's last living elder relative on her death bed. Such class. And this would capture votes how?
I'll double that 'amen', and I'll raise you one!
amen
Lots of them are nm

You know they will have lots to say. sm
After making all those concessions about those stupid tax cuts that the pubs wanted so badly (when it has been proven time and again they don't work), and then they didn't even vote for it. And I'll bet all the whining pubs on here sure won't turn down their checks when they come!! That tax cut money should have gone instead to creating and boosting those industries that could generate jobs!! They are all like vultures -- circling around and gleefully waiting for failure. I say they are no better than the terrorists they so rabidly fear!! 
There are lots of people
who make loads of money, and why would you choose these two? If you are a Republican, there are rich ones. If you are a Democrat, there are rich ones.
lots of books on this - even old ones

No harm in trying....lots more not to.
you have nothing to fear from tighter gun control laws. Nobody but hunters are worried about hunters. By your logic, why incarcerate people? They'll just keep on committing crime anyway, so what's the point? Ridiculous.
lots of difference..........sm
Treatment for alcoholism, STDs, obesity, and all other medical "conditions" do not require the taking of a human life. Abortion does.
I had a cousin who had a baby born with hydrocephalus and that child lived for 6 years. It was a very hard delivery for Sherry and she knew that Scotty would never be able to sit up or talk or play or do anything else like other children. Yet there is no way she ever even considered abortion. Scotty was a beautiful child. Yes, he brought a lot of work into Sherry's life, but he brought a lot of joy as well.
Put lots of pepper on it will ya? LOL n/m
Why are lots of CEO, CFO's leaving
Medquist CFO quitting. Symantec CEO retiring. Yahoo CEO quit. There are some other companies too. Why? Because they already know how good they have it and decide to take what is left of the their money and run?
Lots of times...
because their behavior is DISGUSTING and that's what we teach our kids, to bash the behavior. Just like any other bad behavior. If you want to label yourself as a sick behavior then accept the consequences of being bashed.
Lots of cheap shots there.
Especially Reagan, but nothing new.
The Chickenhawk argument goes something like this: anyone who favors military action should not be taken seriously unless they themselves are willing to go and do the actual fighting. This particular piece of work is an anti-war crowd attempt to silence the debate by ruling that the other side is out of bounds for the duration. Like all ad hominem attacks, (argumentum ad hominem means “argument against the person”) it is an act of intellectual surrender. The person who employs an ad hominem attack is admitting they cannot win the debate on merit, and hope to chuck the entire thing out the window by attacking the messenger. This is a logical fallacy of the first order, because the messenger is not the message.
The messenger is not the message. That’s all you need to throw away the entire Chickenhawk response. But why stop there when this one is so much fun?
If you are ever see this charge again, you may want to reflect that person’s own logical reasoning in the following fashion: You may not talk about education unless you are willing to become a teacher. You may not discuss poverty unless you yourself are willing to go and form a homeless shelter. How dare you criticize Congress unless you are willing to go out and get elected yourself? Your opinion on a National Health Care System is negated out of hand since you are unwilling to get a medical degree and open a clinic. And as far as your opinions regarding the Democratic Underground or The Huffington Post are concerned, well, you can just keep them to yourself, mister, unless you can produce an advanced degree in Abnormal Psychology and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Using the internal reasoning behind the Chickenhawk argument means you cannot comment on, speak about or even hold an opinion on any subject that is not part of your paying day job. It is simple-minded and profoundly anti-democratic, which is why it so deeply appeals to those who sling it around the most.
But wait! There’s more!
If you accept the Chickenhawk argument – that only those actually willing to go and fight have a legitimate opinion on the subject of war – then that means that any decision to go to war must rest exclusively in the hands of the military. Is that what this person really wants? To abandon civilian control of the military? That’s the box they have trapped themselves in with this argument. Now to be perfectly honest, I think Robert Heinlein made a very compelling case for just this line of reasoning in Starship Troopers (the book, not the clueless projected travesty). Heinlein said that the only people who should be allowed to vote are those that have served in the military, since only they are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of the state. I don’t agree with that. I think civilian control of the military has been one of the pillars of our nation’s success, and it has withstood the test of both World Wars and Civil ones. But that is the world you are stuck in when you toss that little Chickenhawk grenade.
Finally, if the only legitimate opinion on Iraq, say, is that held by the troops themselves, then they are overwhelmingly in favor of being there and finishing what they started. I recently received an e-mail from an Army major who is heading back for his fourth tour. The Chickenhawk argument, coming from an anti-war commentator, legitimizes only those voices that overwhelmingly contradict the anti-war argument.
Bill Whittle wrote that. He's a real live veteran and I happen to agree with him.
Have read lots about Obama -and know he is

lots of fish hang around those
offshore drilling rigs. huh huh huh.
Jealousy? HARDLY. Try uneasiness. LOTS of it.

There are atrocities in lots of countries
and nobody seems to give a dam@. We are only interested in countries that have something we want.
as are lots of Obama supporters...nm

Said he had lots of money, I know I gave as much as I could.

Lots of people have, but Obama
and he may be smart, but no common sense.
It made lots of sense, and it's something
references to Jesus in Christianity, Judaism (sp)? and Islam. I've often wondered, given the language differences, if they all have more in common than disagree.
And lots of people are good at
POUNCING. ;-)
Oh. Well, they'll have to kill me before they'll censor
We'll see who'll be laughing tomorrow.
Bet it's me!
Well we own a gun, I think 9 mm, a stun gun, lots of knives - my husband's
a collector of knives, all kinds and yeah we're in BAMA, but terrorist don't want to go toe to toe with Americans, they're going to try to sneak us everytime.
That goes for New Yorkers too, they don't want to go toe to toe with them either. I despise Ann Coulter. She doesn't think when she talk. What ever comes up comes out. I think she is obnocious (sp) and has no respect for the left, and she gets as good as she gives from me.
She'd probably be the first chicken liver hiding under her desk.
Bravo to them. Lots of cancer in my family.
Great article. Thanks for posting it! I applaud them. Obviously early detection is key, and it makes sense that many people without insurance are not getting regular screenings done.
Lots of websites offering bankruptices for $599
My son-in-law emailed me this, and this is what I sent him in response:
Nuttin' made in the USA any more
(except for declarations of war).
Give it back to China so they can keep
sending us stuff to sell real cheap.
"Leaden" our kids and poison our pets,
and the rich get richer with no regrets!
I keep seeing websites offering bankruptices for $599. With no health insurance, mounting medical bills, a car repossession, dwindling income and a fatal disease, that may wind up being my way of "keeping it" in America. My preference would be to buy a $600 American-made car, maybe something like a 1983 Ford Escort, anything to get me from Point A to Point B safely.
Thanks, Mr. Bush. 
Lots of folks DO hate her. Something underneath all the
gives lots of people the heebie-jeebies. "Got that born-again look", ya might say.
So, lots of people have tanning beds
If I lived in Alaska I'd have one too. Looking at the pics of her it doesn't look like she uses it in excess. My cousin has one and says it does not use a lot of energy (they told me this about 7 months ago).
So maybe you don't think she should have a microwave or toaster or even a coffee pot either.
Lots of questions remain about Obama.

Went to 3 stores today, lots of people
Store clerks state it is because of Obama. Some stores keep running out of ammunition to purchase. Then I found this link on CNN.
