Ya got me on this one Heff. This is not true? Dessert Storm was to liberate Kuait remember? Sadam really was being a bad guy then. Maybe I'm not getting your post. Not beyond the realms of possibility.

"The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system."

Maybe you should reinforce that this is a global initiative? Seems like well over half of us are Americans anyway.

And he so often looked confused or overwhelmed by the whole thing. Often he came off as a big kid not quite sure of himself. (Father issues me thinks LOL) Whats Jeb up to these days ?

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed."

ROFL, well done!

ETA When that was written, did the US have slaves? I am not that conversant with US history.

They did, but I think that poster is just attacking the intentions of our Founding Fathers. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen that. Many people have suggested that the Constitution didn't fix things it should have(that is from their point of view), but that is generally a worldview only experienced by a certain group of people.

how can you own slaves, and pen the phrase "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

and take yourself seriously ?

they weren't even referring to women when you get down to it

they really meant

"we the male wealthy white land owners..."

all they really wanted was the keep goerge from forcing them to use his currency. the revolution was fought over currency, not taxes of freedom

Truly a man without vision. He never saw our nuclear subs on the horizon. But he should have been famaliar with the steam engine so this only confuses me. Maybe they didnt use them is ships in the 1800's? Napoleon 1769-1821 . The steam engine Thomas Newcomen 1712.

You reminded me of something.

Helen Thomas once quoted George H.W. Bush as having said, "If the American people knew what we were up to they would chase us through the streets and lynch us."

This quote is more TRUE than stupid!

That quote is down right scary.

Not exactly pollution it is a chemical released by pine trees. Pollution is when its caused by man. Pollution is what we do. Nature only processes it does not pollute.

Well thats not the constitution its the preamble of the constitution. Most school kids had to memorize this at one time or another. I can also pretty much quote all of Lincolns Gettysburg address by heart.

I have only read the first couple of pages and the last.
