Finding reliable news sm
If you want facts, the best place is the internet and alternative news sites. Those that rely on the mainstream news for information are not well-informed. The only news I watch on the TV is BBC World.
Here is a good article on the subject:
The Difficulty in Being an Uninformed American.

Finding another line of work.......... sm
That might work for a prison doctor who did not believe in capital punishment but was suddenly asked to perform lethal injections as part of the job. That physician could find employment in the private sector where lethal injection would not be a part of the job description and do just fine.
But what about the OB/GYN who specializes in women's health care? He or she would not be able to practice medicine in his/her chosen field ANYWHERE. Some may have been practicing for 20 years or more. What do you propose they do? Go back to medical school to specialize in cardiology or neurology? Or maybe they should just go flip burgers at Mickey D's.
Some people have a lot of years and many thousands of dollars invested in their professions, unlike most of us who could easily change our line of work if we were suddenly required by our job to do something we found ethically or morally wrong.
Right-wing websites are the only sources I'm finding.....
People from all over the world own property in the US....so, in that respect, it is nothing new. Whether or not they'll get "bailed out" is whole nother ball of wax.
They are continuously finding evidence through DNA testing
that an innocent person was executed.
Clarification. sm
I love all soldiers - my point was this lady's son was a career military man, I did not mean by my reference to "buck" soldiers that they are of less importance in anyway. O'Reily kept egging it on and finally asked this grieving mother if she had visited M. Moore's webside, to which she replied "I WILL NOW". LOL.
Thanks for the clarification
so a whole bunch of libs got together and google-bombed failure and miserable failure to alter the search engine results, and that's supposed to be impressive? All I can say is people who do this seriously need a life and/or a job.
Clarification.
I meant the part about cutting and running part when I said from your keyboard to God's ear. You can call it whatever you like as long as it gets US out of there.
Clarification
By you guys I mean you and the other conservative posters who have done the bulk of the posting on the liberal board in the past few days. I probably should have been clearer on that.
You do have a point about my posts and in some ways I would agree. However, as stated, it is not worth perseverating over and restating the same points repeatedly, as I have stated.
In the same league and someone's equal would be very close in meaning the very same thing. They would pretty much be definitions for each other. Look it up if you disagree.
Clarification
I am the OP here, and just want to clarify. I meant no harm posting this and I am sorry if I offended anyone. I don't like getting bashed for making a statement either. I didn't make any other comments about the two men. It's just one of those things, being an MT, I have always noticed the way words or letters go together. It was something that I saw, and I just thought it was really weird. I just wondered if anyone else had made that connection, since we are all in this business together.
Now go on and flame me, I could care less. You all think I did it to bash Obama. I didn't. Take it for what it's worth. I just thought it was crazy weird. I NEVER compared him or put him in the same class as OSAMA. Just made an observation. Leave it at that.
Just a little clarification here....
Bush was not against SCHIP. That program is still in effect today. All he opposed was expanding it ever higher up the income ladder.
Clarification....(sm)
What religion does with politics is abuse of rights. Yes, they should have the right to worship and do whatever within the guidelines of the law, but when it gets to the point it is now where every time you turn around the govt has to worry about how the "religious community" will respond it is obvious that those "rights" have turned into a lobbying force.
It is illegal for a church or pastor with nonprofit status to endorse any candidate, and yet all through the presidential election the church down the street from me (as did a multitude of other churches) posted signs all over the place about how Obama is the anti-christ, etc, etc. Exactly where do those rights end?
Also it was evangelicans who initiated the campaign to pass prop 8 in California and did so with huge donations not only from individuals but from the church as well. In that case the "church" actually facilitated taking away rights from people. They didn't think twice about that, and actually rejoiced in their victory, but when it comes to their rights its a different story.
Thanks much for that clarification!
Would be nice if the government stopped using SS for other things, because per my yearly statement, the percentage that will be left by the time I retire as scheduled keeps going down.
And I'm worried about Obama finding a reason to declare...sm
martial law once he's in office, and creating his own dictatorship. Works both ways.
I still say Bush will be glad to be well out of it come January 20, 2009.
But watch....Bush will get blamed for everything that goes wrong for the next four years anyway
why don't you answer my question? Not finding any 'disgraces' in O's speech?...nm
I am waiting for examples. I guess, in vain.
Not a slam, just a clarification. I post under sm here. sm
MT is his or her own person. Final post. DD.
Clarification...when one perceives attack I should say...
but then she views anything a conservative posts as an attack. Even when I tried to basically get along...and I did try. At least one of you on this board recognized that.
Have a good day, kam. :-)
This is what passes for clarification in W's 22% fan club?
That apples and oranges line of thinking does not compute (life in the US, Russia or Cuba). My brain cells do not connect along those same pathways. Let's try some logic.
Since we don't know what it going to be like (your words, not mine) under O, one can only speculate. Knock yourself out on that one. I'm not into that. Bush, however, has had his debut, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th acts. The curtain is coming down and we have concrete evidence on which to base our individual takes on his regime. There is reliable data available (approval ratings, whose better off now than in 2000, the state of our economy, our standing in the world, etc) which suggests that for many of us, W has managed to single-handedly turn our country into something we can barely recognize. The hatchet job he and his buddies did early on with the Constitution is all the evidence I need to feel justified in my absolute contempt for the man and his legacy, not to mention the fact that pretty much nothing he has done has even begun to address the problems we face with terrorism on the international front and the economy, health care, the environment, etc on the home front. The decider to some, the destroyer to others.
Rick Santorum's claim of finding WMDs is just more false propaganda.
(I can't understand why they must keep lying.)
Lawmakers Cite Weapons Found in Iraq
Thursday, June 22, 2006; A10
Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), chairman of the House intelligence committee, and Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) told reporters yesterday that weapons of mass destruction had in fact been found in Iraq, despite acknowledgments by the White House and the insistence of the intelligence community that no such weapons had been discovered.
We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons, Santorum said.
The lawmakers pointed to an unclassified summary from a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center regarding 500 chemical munitions shells that had been buried near the Iranian border, and then long forgotten, by Iraqi troops during their eight-year war with Iran, which ended in 1988.
The U.S. military announced in 2004 in Iraq that several crates of the old shells had been uncovered and that they contained a blister agent that was no longer active. Neither the military nor the White House nor the CIA considered the shells to be evidence of what was alleged by the Bush administration to be a current Iraqi program to make chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
Last night, intelligence officials reaffirmed that the shells were old and were not the suspected weapons of mass destruction sought in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.

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?
