There are exceptions. On average, ministers make about $50K per year.

IMO it's better than the land of I've done little to take care of myself, therefore I'm entitled to make you take care of me. The Entitlement mentality, that seems to be growing in this country, scares me.

She wasn't covert, so she couldn't be outed.It's very simple. If she were covert, how did the world know? A conundrum, I think. "Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employee for who the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States.", CIA unclassified document filed 5/29/2007 with the Libby trial court, Then why wasn't Armitage prosecuted? The consensus seems to be that she did not meet the definition laid out in the act. . I'm sure you know better than the CIA what the meaning of "covert" is. Then why wasn't Armitage prosecuted?

Thanks. He definitely undermines the belief that worldwide Jihad efforts are primarily a response to western foreign policy,... pointing out that it's about believers versus infidels.

Isnt that getting to be a bit tired.... the right wing saying that anyone that thinks Bush is an incompetent and a liar is filled with hate? LOL I love how you take a statement about a portion of a given group and interpret it be a general statement about all in that group. SSDD

Okay, that was during the Civil War... understandable. I just don't see it happening again. Some around here seem to think it's eminent. Pay attention man! The writing in on the wall! It's plain to see! President Bush is planning declare martial law, do away with elections and take away many of our cherished rights! If... you'd... only... open... your... eyes!!!

Were they earnest or merely trolling? With the amount of righteous indignation seen on this board, I can see how some might chum the waters a bit.

Blue Thunder was a great flick.

I assume you're talking about nationwide martial law.

Martial law has been declared and enforced many times in our country's history. In every case is was to manage a specific problem and was discontinued, once the problem was handled. I would not have a problem with temporary Martial Law, if is was reasonably warranted. However, I think Amazon's frequent mention of the subject have to do with a permanent power grab. - It ain't gonna happen!!!

Until we suffer "a devastating attack with weapons of mass destruction causing tens of thousands of casualties", I'll sleep well, knowing the vast majority of our freedoms are intact. Ted Koppel sure did seem confident a major attack was eminent...THREE YEARS AGO!

All or nothing, eh? How about "Martial Law before a new administration is in place"? I'm constantly amazed how some people can take an off-the-cuff, conditional statement, about the what could be the will of the people, and turn it into a sinister plot being persued by the current adminstration. LMAO

Which officials have stated it is coming?

Welcome to the new and improved form of Police State http://www.infowars.net/Pages/Sept05/270905Martiallaw.htm Troll, troll, troll your boat...

Troll troll troll your boat.. gently up some other stream.... Merrily merrily merrily lifeis just a right wing dream. What was that Jack Nicholson line from "A Few Good Men"? Something about handling the truth???

Hmmm....that list above identifies roughly 75% of public broadcasting...and has been for a long, long time. If 75% of the media is broadcasting a particular agenda, would you say they're the initiators or initiatees? You're right; the media should quit swinging hammers. Since it will never happen your opinion (and mine) means nothing. I wish the sky would occasionally be fuschia, and I wish that Princess Di would return as president of the USA. Since that will never happen, what I want is meaningless. Until that day comes, hammers will be swung, and the American public can choose to be hit by hammers, or they can become educated on why the hammers are being swung. Understanding both sides of the issue is probably a good place to start. The difference is the level of bias. Absolute objectivity is a hypothetical standard. Most mainstream media outlets strive to meet that standard most of the time. Generally speaking, the networks (including Fox) do a pretty good job of reporting the news in an evenhanded manner. On the other side of the honesty spectrum, we have people like Michael Moore, who rely of deceptions to bolster their agenda. The thing about MM is he uses hot-button deceptions to make his films emotionally charged. Without them, his films would just be run of the mill documentaries... no different than what is being offered on cable, every night. By using the hot-button deceptions, his films create a buzz and people pay to see them in the theater. Maybe it's a good thing that he employs these techniques to push his topics to the forefront, but don't kid yourself about him being honest... or being on par with the mainstream media.

With the politics of the far right that is championed so frequently.. What politics of "the far right" that ARE championed so frequently? You frequently bring up the threat of martial law becoming a reality and all of our constitutional rights being taken away. Do you have anything other that an out of context quote from 2003 to back it up? How about it, amazon? One last time.

Want to count the opposing numbers there bubba??? How many times was the same thing done to me?? Oh thats right it does not fit into THE intellectual dishonesty that IS the right wing. Playing the victim to justify your own bad behavior??? Tsk, tsk.

That ability to read people's minds is quite impressive.

Civil is as Civil does... I am just responding in Kind from the Right Wing Posters who know no better.... This is a LIE! This is a particularly offensive LIE.

I would get banned for saying something like that to any of the right wing poseters.. You seem pretty comfortable implying someone is too stupid to look up a word, though.

It's a good thing we have your civil, objective insights to help promote an open exchange of ideas on this forum.

Well put.

Why do those of you on the right use it so much then???? Irony.

Watched Fox News much???? Oh thats right as long as its the right wing doing it.. its FAIR AND BALANCED The old "use others bad behavior to justify your own" rationale. Most school kids quickly learn this is a bullshit ploy.
