What Wikipedia has to say about American Civil Rights [LINK] Pouring through and searching through information it turns out and looks like President John F. Kennedy wrote the original Civil Rights Act, LBJ who though to continue that legacy, as well as some pressure on the issue had a revised version done, which went through it's historical voyage, a key note is that the
Looking through some more articles I found this funny article, good stuff. Who do you think would win? Link to Article Who would win the 'duel'? During a contentious interview on MSNBC’s ‘Hardball,’ Zell Miller told host Chris Matthews, ‘I wish we lived in the day where you could challenge a person to a duel.’
In an effort to be more like Matt Drudge, and looking through news articles I came upon this news article on the WorldNetDaily Site, an article from a Kuwaiti Editor's perspective.

Damn, Gideon, what did they accuse you of? I think most people don't know how much their country's perspective NSAs have, and that's just sad.
Also just listening to the news here about Haliburton, I grew up in Oklahoma, and when I left in 1998 Haliburton was going down the tubes, if they had not recieved this contract in Iraq several thousands of Oklahomans would have lost their jobs from Haliburton, and others would have lost their jobs because of their dependence on Haliburton.
Okay, either way it doesn't matter who exactly is President, America can not be destroyed by that person no matter how strong he/she is, America is more than it's government, it is it's people, and I for one will not allow my country of where I was born to be destroyed by no man, so if it comes to Bush or Kerry gaining enough momentum and intent on really harming our nation physically I will stand against them, and I will not be alone. Histo
Well better buy some fire insurance fast!
The Patriot Act just puts more, if too much, authority into the intelligence agencies when it comes to terrorist activity in the U.S. Granted it may need to be changed to clarify points and to put in clauses which will prevent abuse, b

Still think if the people of Georgia didn't like Zell Miller, they wouldn't have elected him, also keep in mind last time I was there (July 2002 to Feb 2004, US Army service), Georgia is a bit of a conservative state, doesn't matter if they are Democrat or Republican, they are just plain conservative.
Uhh, sorry, thatoneguy...but that's quite revisionist...actually, the dems OPPOSED most civil rights legislation. That's true reading a history book about it, read that Strom Thurmond, at the time a Democrat, filibustered the bill for something like twenty-four hours, shocked the hell out of me, that is
In Reply to 1: I can think of no other reason to vote against Bush than that you are voting for him. I find it interesting, as focused as you are on the "end times", that you don't realize that the beast in Revelation would be FAR more likely (assuming he/she comes from America) to be a Republican than a Democrat, prim
I never once said I disagreed with the position, I just said they were conservative in nature. Of course I don't think rapists should only get 60 days in jail, parents not be notified of a kid having an abortion or kids being exposed to sexual images at 10 years old. My problem is that the show is expressing these obviously wrong
Here I will utter forth more truth, or at least my honest truth, than has every been said about political parties, conservatism, and liberalism. Zel Miller is a Dixiecrat, through and through, he still holds the ideals of Democrats before this HUGE left shift. The Democratic party was not always so left and liberal, I remember dis-liking some Democratic candidates because they were to freakin' conservative. Their party has become so one sided
Yes, but c'mon...if I were to rent pornos for my kids and show it to them and claim it was "sex education", I would be arrested. And yet, when they do the same thing in a school, it's somehow ACCEPTABLE? Good lord, where the hell was that quality of sex education tapes when I took Sex Ed. in High School
O' Reilly is hated by both sides, the conservatives and the liberals, because he so far has not come out wholeheartedly supporting one side or the other, and that pisses off both sides. Conservatives say he is to liberal on key important conservative issues. Liberals say he is to conservative on key important liberal issues. Not to mention when ever he gives his own OPINION, he says they do not reflect FOX, or FOX afflitate etc. becau
You miss the point, McCain suffered injuries in Vietnam, and has disabilities to show for it, shrapnel in a body even undisturbed causes problems for that individual, does Kerry have any problems from his injuries? He has not stated whether he still suffers from these injuries, and I think with time and the body getting older, injuries become more painful and worse, take for example my father who had a back injury in Korea, over time it has only
Just look at CBS backing down from showing the Ronald Reagan movie a few months back. Whether the movie was factually correct or a blend of fact and fiction, Viacom made sure it didn't air. It's the same reason call-in talk shows are so biased one way or the other--ratings. Ratings attr
Article from BBC News Now this is a subject for debate. What are you views on it? Before I get bombarded by either side here is my take on Cloning. As Humans evolved in technology, we seem to glaringly forget that we should be evolving on all fronts, if the technology evolves but not the mind what good is human evolution.
Take hand, move hand in quick motion against face of Oil and Car Company CEOs of the U.S. until an audible slapping sound is heard. My idea is to get the Congress under so much pressure from the populace that they rebuff the pressure from Oil and Car Companies, so that laws are passed that increase the either fuel efficiency or an alternative fuel source for vehicles, preferably the first than the second would probably be the easiest. Proble
I loved his jokes in the speech, to break up some seriousness. Great speech, even though there was some bits of naked partisanship as Limbaugh put it.
Because America cannot survive as a single entity, when will Americans learn that there is a world beyond their shores and it is far more important? Of course, I am referring to Britain and more specifically England. England is the world's greatest nation, that is why America so slavishly imitates us in a bid to appear a "superpo
Than again some Iraqis, mostly the Kurds, hate us because we abandoned them after Desert Storm, building them up for a supposed revolt against Saddam only to abandon them to the wrath of Saddam, because some in congress thought we did enough, and that we should only sanction Saddam, so a lot of Iraqis blame the U.S. for the deaths after Desert Storm because we left Saddam in power. Also, Saddam controlled what news was broadcasted in Iraq, so who know
Japanese swimmer, by the way, was Kitajima, who not only beat the American, along with everyone else, Hansen once, but twice, proving that he, Kitajima, was a great swimmer. The medal for Paul Hamm, was bad judging if it was that at all, and they decided on that it was bad judging after the fact, that should be too late in anybody's book really. Most people hate the US at the olympic games, not because we are the US but that we are
US History with wars, take for example Germany during World War II, the U.S. did a little known thing to most, but they firebombed the city of Dresden to create a firestorm killing innocent people by fire or suffocation, because the firestorm sucks oxygen out of the area, to test this method of bombing and effectiveness. When it was seen how successful it was, the U.S. also used on a Japanese city. Long time ago left the war that only involved
