 | Question for all you lefties who cry wolf The title of this thread is hilarious!  President Delivers "State of the Union" WMds are falling! Narrator: Chicken Georgie was in the woods one day when a WMD fell on his head. It scared him so much he trembled all over. He shook so hard, half his feathers fell out. Chicken Georgie: "Help! Help! The WMDs is falling! I have to go tell the Congress!" Narrator: So he ran in great fright to tell the Congress. Along the way he met Henny Cheney. Henny Cheney: "Where are you going, Chicken Georgie?" Chicken Georgie: "Oh, help! The WMDs is falling!" Henny Cheney: "How do you know?" Chicken Georgie: "I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!" Henny Cheney: "This is terrible, just terrible! We'd better hurry up." Narrator: So they both ran away as fast as they could. Soon they met Ducky Rumsfeld. Ducky Rumsfeld: "Where are you going, Chicken Georgie and Henny Chenny?" Chicken Georgie & Henny Cheney: "The WMDs is falling! The WMDs is falling! We're going to tell the Congress!" Ducky Rumsfeld: "How do you know?" Chicken Georgie: "I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head." Ducky Rumsfeld: "Oh dear, oh dear! We'd better run!" Narrator: So they all ran down the road as fast as they could. Soon they met Goosey Powell walking down the roadside. Goosey Powell "Hello there. Where are you all going in such a hurry?" Chicken Georgie: "We're running for our lives!" Henny Cheney: "The WMDs is falling!" Ducky Rumsfeld: "And we're running to tell the Congress!" Goosey Powell: "How do you know the WMDs is falling?" Chicken Georgie: "I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!" Goosey Powell: "Goodness! Then I'd better run with you." Narrator: And they all ran in great fright across a field. Before long they met Turkey Rice strutting back and forth.. Turkey Rice: "Hello there, Chicken Georgie, Henny Cheney, Ducky Rumsfeld, and Goosey Powell. Where are you all going in such a hurry?" Chicken Georgie: "Help! Help!" Henny Cheney: "We're running for our lives!" Ducky Rumsfeld: "The WMDs is falling!" Goosey Powell: "And we're running to tell the Congress!" On & on & on Live the Light, Give the Light, Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day! http://youtube.com/watch?v=jBcwAJZGX...=john%20denver The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party: Stop the madness before us it stops!

And this adds to this topic HOW??? OH THAT'S RIGHT IT IS A BASH ON BUSH SO IT CAN GO EVERYWHERE!!!!YOU HAVE TO GET UR UNMESSAGE OUTTHERE dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Reverse Racism? I would say that I am a person who is open to all types of people. I do hate crack slinging street folk and that is as far as my hate goes. In the early 90's I had a part time job doing janatorial work at a place called the Martin Luther King center. I was placed there by the state employment office. It wasn't a hard job or anything. It was a place that helped out black people, financially, that needed it. I worked there 2 hours a night, 7 days a week. I was told by the director I was going to be offered the full time position(with great benefits and decent pay) when it opened up because they liked my work and I did more in the two hours per day than the day guy who had the 40 hour a week job. Well they ended up let the other guy go (he happened to be black). I asked about the full time position and the director of the place told me right out that the board of directors wanted a black man to have the job. They didn't even have any candidates. They didn't care as long as the new guy was black. They ran a newspaper add and ended up hiring someone who was black. I ended up quiting because for two months I was promised the job and then, because I was white, I wasn't given the promised job. I guess I could have sued but I didn't feel right about it, not wanting to seem prejudice. About 6 months later the lady that was the director ran for Mayor. She ran as a Republican. Everything is not always as cut and dry as some would make it out to be. Anyway, that was my personal experience with this subject. Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville Last edited by tyreay; 01-11-2007 at 08:23 AM.

| Racism is alive and well depending on where you are in America. As sgt pointed out it is in the heart where changes need to be made. If you are white and you rent a house to a black you can and will be subject to the racial discrimination of those who are racist. If you are white and you own a small company you can and will be subject to racism if there are other people that think you should not hire Women, Hispanics or Blacks or Native Americans. It happens everyday in America depending on where you live. Until everyone realizes that we all live on the same planet and we each have a right to work and take care of our families, we will all miss the talents other individuals have regardless what sex, or national origin they were born. When racism or discrimination of any kind is allowed to exist, it creates more hatred and distrust for one another as human beings. Those who discriminate against white, green, red, yellow, blue and black that violate others rights are short changing the rest who do not. | |||||||||||||||||||||

 . To deny the legacy of vicious white supremacy inexorably intertwined in this country's history, and indeed it's still-alive undertones would be to deny reality of the contributions to the arrested development of American democracy and to deny the importance of humility and national self-reflection in a democratic society. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
