Powerful Iranian Cleric Says Country in Crisis http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090717/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iran_election Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

*** "If we are a great society we do what other great societies do which is take care of each other, and value our lives more then money". Quote......Should we take care of everybody? Should we include people here illegally? From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance We've just learned that The National Council of La Raza has issued a strong, but transparent plea to lawmakers that universal health care should include illegal aliens. From their site, they are "strongly urg[ing] President Obama and Congress to make every effort to ensure that health care reform reaches all communities." They also added that they aren't the slightest bit interested in any citizenship or eligibility testing. After reading this obscene statement, I almost fell out of my chair. The audacity of this organization knows no bounds. But even more outrageous is the fact that unless you and I fight back against the government takeover of our health care, La Raza may actually succeed in getting their wish! That's why I want to appeal to you right now. With Obama poised to take over your personal and private health decisions, and now La Raza standing at the ready to accept government health care for illegal aliens we must take immediate action to ensure this kind of outrageous grab doesn't happen. Please take a moment right now to join with me and more than 144,582 citizens who are staunchly opposed to government-run health care by clicking below and signing our petition: http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=20235&RID=18103904 Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

And do you really think people making over 50K say fuck my health or they choose to pay their bills? I can't think of anyone who thinks health is no big deal. Most don't get it because guess what it costs too much. ...........Darius, there are people who can afford health insurance, but pass. It's a gamble they are willing to take. Under my company's plan, I paid an extra premium for my family. A co-worker cancelled his, and his wife broke her back in an vehicle accident. It was his choice. As for patriotism I thought saving your fellow citizens lives would be a high priority, but I guess for some it only applies when we kill some brown people, or put a yellow ribbon on the truck. ........ You don't have a yellow ribbon on your pickup? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Basically, that's what I do now. I roll it up with an extended velcro tab. I just don't like the time it takes to do this. Thanks all again. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I wear an open faced helmet. I guess you can mount the atachment on goggles or perhaps sew it in place? I read something about the Optima being made of poor plastic. How long you had yours, and does it appear to be holding up. Thanks for the response. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Thank you both. I didn't realize it was that simple. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

And how'd that work out for us? ..........After the Tet Offensive of 1968, most of the Viet Cong infrastructure was eliminated anyway, and we were fighting the NVA who contnued to build trenches and bunkers inside villages and steal the local rice so they were not exactly welcome either. I remember a division directive coming out that said we were to use fire and maneuver intead of artillery and airstrikes. At one point only the point man was allowed to carry a round in the chamber. Great for the morale; sure. After I left, things got a little hotter. I believe the directive probably was adjusted? I extended and saw the war from a different perspective as an advisor to a Vietnamese ranger battalion. At first, I had the feeling they were in no hurry to win until I realized they would still be here long after I went home. My counterpart was a Catholic from North Vietnam who fled after the French were defeated. No doubt he had a tough time in the re-education camps. I went back later as a helicopter pilot; came home just a little annoyed at giving everything away. We were on the eve of a massive bombing campaign that was about to put the North Vietnamese into the stone age when a little thing called Watergate tripped up Richard Nixon and brought it to an end. He most clearly was blaming Obama, which is ridiculous. The whole point is that we've learned a lot about counter-insurgency since Vietnam. This time maybe we'll do a better job. ..............Yes, and the neighborhood organizer hasn't a clue. Yes, I hope we have learned from past mistakes. I believe it is unfair to ask our men and women to die only to pull out (we do have practice at that). Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I can imagine the exciting testimony this would lead to. Q: Do you remember the birth of a child 40some years ago? A: uh, I guess? how do you cross examine it? Unless you witness the birth of a 3 head baby, or octuplets, why would anything about it be memorable? Or maybe the question I need to ask is who are witnesses? Hospital staff, or relatives? The first group isn't going to remember, and the second group isn't going to say anything to suggest he wasn't born in Hawaii. Well he must have been glowing or something at birth. BHO's Kenyan auntie, who is in this country illegally, can tell you whether he glowed at birth in Kenya or somewhere else. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I don't think he blames Obama, but it is a kind of political correctness when you go out of your way to walk on pins and needles concerning civilians: something about not engaging the enemy around homes etc. Apparently we are making a special effort to bolster our image. In an earlier conflict, we thought nothing of blowing up anything we took fire from and of course, civilian casualities were high (Vietnam). On the other hand, we did take the time to assist civilians to include dustoff. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Not entirely. The coalition forces pretty much adhere to the "don't get out of the boat" mentality and stick to the roads and run "patrols". Having contact with the locals seems to be the farthest thing they are interested in doing. Not meant as a dig, just my personal observation. Isn't this why the Russians lost, plus their punishment of the locals everytime they were ambushed. To keep this from turning into a goat fuck, it better turn into a goat roast at all levels.

Everyone? Hope that doesn't include me. Didn't General Petraeus formulate some of his doctrine for the Counterinsurgency field manual from British Counterinsurgency doctrine and experiences in Malaya and NI? Lt Col Nagl, one of the manuals biggest contributors, argues how we got it right in Malaya whilst America got it wrong in Vietnam, attributing this to the British army's organisational culture and ability to learn from unanticipated conditions. It's my belief that all soldiers should be - to a man - flexible enough to incorporate such strategies within their particular areas of soldiering. Flexibility - the key to all good operations.

Quote. So, what's the deal here? Why is this so important? Did I mention that Zelaya is close buddies with Hugo Chavez? ...........and Hugo is close buddies with Furer BHO. Maybe Furer BHO wants to run a couple of extra terms himself, and will play dead when Chavez exports revolution to restore Zelaya. What a fraternity Furer BHO has joined.

Something some of us get as we grow older CRS - Can't Remember Shit

I would go with his communist mentors. Had this poor lad been given school vouchers instead of Islamic charity, he might have had a chance to become an American. You know, the beer drinking, gun loving, bible thumping type. Instead he ended up with a Koran and a funny middle name What makes you think he is gay?

I remember the HMS Sheffield. My wife and I were given a private tour of the ship by a couple of cooks when the ship made a visit to Abu Dhabi. I still wonder if some of the people we met that day were lost during the Falkland War. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Ask anyone who was ever flogged or racked or burned for heresy. Or any kid who's asked "But how's that possible?" in Sunday school, and gotten a smack in the mouth for his efforts. Never met anyone who had been flogged,racked or burned,but I got smacked a couple of times as a smart ass kid. Christianity has had its dark moments when people strayed away from God's word. The holocaust is a perfect example. In Rome, when the Germans rounded up one thousand Jews and shipped them to the death camps, the Vatican remained silent.
