I made a mistake and was trying to respond to the post below by *LOL* when I wrote that.

in the article you posted, nor did I see the word *impeach* anywhere in the article.

I agree with your comments and with the article you referred to, and I understood the comments of LOL to mean that the article was responding to some sort of "talking points" and using the word impeach often, when in fact, it can't be found once in that article.

As far as impeaching Bush, I believe time will tell.   I personally believe he's guilty of war crimes, and that his war will be judged to be illegal before the end of his "reign as King of the USA." (if we all manage to survive that long).

The mere fact that he led us into this war based on lies should be enough to impeach him.

If I offended you, then I truly apologize.  I agree with you and I'm glad you posted this article.  I surely wouldn't have referred you back to the very article you obviously read and posted and tell you to educate yourself, and in no way, shape or form do I believe you are ignorant; far from it.

If you posted the LOL statement below, then I apologize for misunderstanding what you meant by it.

I made a mistake when posting my post, and instead of winding up under the intended post, it wound up under yours instead.  Again, I'm sorry if I offended you.

I got it mixed up with the EMS tax of $250. It's called Per Capita Tax (right to breathe) . The PCT s only $5.50. Then we have occupational priviledge (right to work) tax of $10, local income tax 1% of gross income, school tax (and doesn't matter if you don't have school kids) $1500, county tax $400. Then there is the business priviledge tax if you operate business $10. On top of that is the state and federal income tax.

All taxes are due April 15th except the county and school taxes. They are paid April and October but still, it's just sickening what we pay. Now the gov. wants to raise the sales tax and make us pay it on everything we buy.

It has to stop. Oh, yeah, that's right, it will when we are dead and buried unless they put a yearly tax our final resting place. Oops. Shouldn't have said that. They might get the idea to do just that.

But you support the troops...right?

read it first. 

This isn't about the ACLU, or an agency LIKE the ACLU.

I think you would be hard pressed to find a liberal who agrees with NAMBLA or any organization like them that is in favor of sexual exploitation of children.  I don't think prison is even good enough for them.  I think they should get the death penalty.

Maybe if you would have actually taken the time to READ the post, you would see it has nothing to do with your response.

I don't feel the need to make the choice. It's a child, not a choice. n/t

I can't thank you enough for such a compassionate post.  You're right.  I would give anything to not be in this position, though I am grateful that Medicaid exists for people like me.  It's the "people like me" caricature that causes my shame and self-disgust.  I was brought up to believe that only the dregs (sp?) of humanity are on Medicaid assistance.

To me, it represents a myriad of losses:  My loss of control over my own life and ability to earn an income, my loss of control over the devastating things my body is doing to me, my loss of control over my own self-reliance, and my loss of self-esteem.

If more people were as compassionate as you are, this country would be a much better place.

Thank you again for the kindest of responses I could have hoped for.

Thank you again for the kindest of responses and wishes that I could have ever hoped for in this forum.  I can't even begin to explain how good you have made me feel.

Bye bye freedom of speech. 

FBI has better things to be working on and I'm afraid if this is any indication they are going to be bombarded with inappropriate statements. 

.....no amount of money would induce me to volunteer to be tortured (you know, beaten cut, burned - severe pain or harm).  But cut me a check (certified only, please) with a number followed by a whole lot of zeros and I would be waterboarded (strictly in the interest of science).  Our special forces are trained to withstand this and other 'harsh' interrigation techniques......  It's scary and unpleasant but way different from having your fingernails pulled out or a field generator and alligator clips used.

I had in mind more like $500,000, but yeah, for enough money I would certainly consider that an offer I couldn't refuse. 

It was very clear.  Don't know how to make it any clearer.

I agree 100% with what you had to say.  Too many Americans have been brainwashed by fear, and I think many Americans who are against universal healthcare are just buying into the Chicken Little syndrome that is so prevelent in this country lately.  The sky will fall if all of our citizens have access to affordable healthcare!

As you said, using France's system as a model does not mean we have to do everything exactly as France has, but they are a great example of a system that is working.

Sorry, but I haven't been able to post lately due to some problems, but the FOIA report I posted and said to pay attention to certain pages....Clinton KNEW there were WMD's in Irag in 1996! Did he do anything? Nope. He left the country he was visiting right before a bombing; i.e., he knew it was going to happen. The jist I got of the report was that he knew and did nothing.

Did you read that report?  Don't want to dredge up old presidents but you seem to do it every chance you get, so I just have to respond to that. Bush also knew but did nothing because the CIA,DOJ, FBI and whatever other departments were to keep him informed but never worked together on anything so he got conflicting reports all the time. Was he a mind reader? Doubt it or 911 would not have happened.

Sorry, but this post does not hold water IMHO.

This is just bunk.  How arrogant can human beings be?  To think that we can manipulate this planet in such profound ways is ridiculous.  This is a dynamic planet.  These things have always happened, and always will.  The world has reinvented itself at least twice.  It will shake us all off like fleas off a dog, if it chooses to do so.  Not that we shouldn't be good custodians of the planet, but we don't even come CLOSE to having the kind of control that the environmental loons seem to believe.  Reminds me of that movie Armgageddon where Bruce Willis is standing out on that oil rig hitting golf balls at a Greenpeace boat screaming at them asking them how much diesel does that boat you've got there use?

And lastly, the United States cannot be single handedly blamed for a supposed case of global warming?  That people think that, specifically liberals, shows you just how political the whole thing is, and very little to do with science.  Last time I checked there was a great big huge INHABITED world beyond our shores, and they're also especially good at polluting this planet that we all share.

If ignorance is bliss, the Obama-land is the happiest place on Earth!  Screw Disneyland!

You accuse me of drinking and then cry when it happens to you. SM

WHAT happened to ME, Brunson Burnout?
