US Politics & Non-Americans... Posted: 8/27/2008 6:24:04 PM
the collective ....resistance is futile. Admit it, it's communist being coated with sugar and calling it liberalism, like a turd covered in sugar, calling it a Baby Ruth, it's a turd. Poor guy was forced to renounce his faith over homosexuals, faith in Christ or get beheaded. How sick and sad.

Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya Posted: 8/20/2008 8:22:38 PM
A dollar a month. According to Italy's Vanity Fair, his two meter by three meter shack is what's also awful. Senator Barack Obama's brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama, found living in a six by nine shack on the outskirts of Kenya on less than 12 dollars a year. Kim Campbell assumed Prime Minister of Canada for only four months during the 1993 debacle. Like Obama she was unknown, became popular and quickly her popularity wore off like Obama but she had more testosterone. Her gender was a major contributing factor to her historic loss. Canada, for strange reason couldn't handle a female pm. She was conservative not liberal and leader of the Conservative party. No liberal woman can ever be minister of national defense, Kim was. Heck, Janet Reno is more man than Obama. So is Hillary and Nancy.

Russia invades Georgia Posted: 8/9/2008 3:38:49 PM
The Russians can do whatever they want. Ossetia separated from Georgia in 1993 as part of the breakup of the Soviet Union, and they've been having little skirmishes with Georgia in all this time. Georgia, a former Soviet bloc prisoner much like Chechnya. South Ossetia separated from Georgia in 1993 and the Georgians have been trying to get them back. But the fact is the Ossetians don't stand a chance against the Georgians, but now that the Russians have moved in there, the Georgians don't stand a chance against the Russians. The Russians can do whatever they want here. The Russians, if they could, would crush everybody. They would crush the Chechnyans and they would crush the Georgians and they can if they want to. The only way the Georgians have any chance is with us, and I don't think we are going to get involved in this. We're in Afghanistan right now and Iraq. So the real question here is where will the Russians stop, because they can go wherever they want. Georgians have no chance against them, just in a straight up and down military conflict. It's a matter of size. People have been warning us that the old KGB guys that run Russia have just been waiting for a chance to reassert themselves, and this has been building up.

The House has got to Act Posted: 7/12/2008 3:05:59 PM
Be more like Europe! Oh-hell no. That's reason enough not to vote Democrat. They want us to be like Europe. Maybe we have a lot in common with Ireland but we don't with the bubble car/moped bunch socialists in Europe. We got to act in 3 1/2 months and get that bunch out of Congress before they have us in the E.U. Eww, be more like Europe. For God's sake, we are not atheists.

Charles Rangel (D) NY a wealthy politician/ business man involved in Apartment scandal in Harlem Posted: 7/12/2008 2:54:16 PM
Rangel is known for making money off the poor. He gets the hand-out programs from taxpayers into the hands of his people. They in turn give it to him. It's how he became rich. It's how many Democrats get rich in government. They vote for him because his district enjoys the pork he brings him and they share with him. Democrats like Rangel had reintroduced or introduced a bill to reinstate the draft. And they did it not because they want the draft, but for political reasons. They wanted to start the rumor. They wanted to get it out there. It was Charles Rangel's idea that the rich kids are not fighting while the poor kids are. And so he wanted to get the draft going to try to illustrate that. He introduced it almost 3 years ago. That would require all U.S. citizens between 18 and 26, including women, to perform national defense service. All of them, either military or civilian. That was Rangel's bill, everybody, 18 to 26, a Democrat, everybody, 18 to 26 to perform national service, no ifs, ands, or buts, no excuses, military or civilian. Rangel said Republicans are playing politics and he voted against his own bill. He also wanted the largest tax plan enacted but it failed thanks to Republicans in the House. So they got to get somebody in the White House who can restore hope and positive possibilities and enact Charles Rangel's tax plan. Charlie Rangel, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee really, threw a major cluster bomb in the presidential campaign last year when he announced his tax plan. He called it the Mother of all Tax Reforms. Republicans pounced and said it was the first major mistake of Democrats in this campaign. Democrats were not thrilled that Rangel went public with it. Rangel is 77. He's not thinking long-term with his tax hike. Well, can we be honest? I don't mean this to be a cut. The long-term doesn't interest him on this except, you know, for the sake of his legacy and posterity, how he can destroy America, but he's not going to be around to see it destroyed at 77. Hopefully, he'll be able to dream about it.

Bush was not dumped but will Massachusetts finally dump Kerry in 4 months? Posted: 7/1/2008 2:38:43 PM
Kennedy's optimism about our nation was based on Americans working for the betterment of the nation. He said, " Ask NOT what your Country can do for you, ask what you can do for your Country." Though not saying it out right John Kerry is saying, " Ask not what you can do for your Country but what your Country can GIVE to you." Frank Sinatra was a Dem and loved JFK and when the Dems became socialists, Sinatra became a Republican and showed loved to Ronald Reagan because both Reagan and Kennedy were similar. Both strong men, patriotic and both good speakers. Liberals of old were conservatives. Liberals of today are socialists and not at all like JFK and LBJ and the others mentioned above. John Kerry and his puppet Obama are Mcgovenites. Kerry lost in 2004 like George McGovern lost to Nixon. Nixon, proclaiming peace was at hand in Vietnam because of his policies, ridiculed McGovern as the radical candidate, kooks. Nixon won the election in a landslide. Kerry, in an op-ed published a few weeks ago, says there is an emerging consensus about America’s nuclear policy. He claims both Obama and Senator McCain are committed to a world without nuclear weapons and so, in Kerry’s mind, we should do away with our nuclear forces. Kerry, like many of the supporters of a world without nuclear weapons, engages in a slick slight of hand. He conflates the views of those such as Senator McCain and every President since LBJ, that the US eventually seeks a world without nuclear weapons, with his views and those of Obama that the US will actually implement the first steps toward such a goal now. He further says ( lying) that 17 former Secretary’s of State and Defense, (including former Secretaries of State George Schultz and Kissinger) also share this goal. Kerry calls for no production of any nuclear weapons material and describes our weapons as on “hair trigger alert”, (they are not). He calls for many of our weapons to be de-alerted and that we should have a national total force of no more than 1000 nuclear warheads, of which nearly half would not be available to deter on a day-to-day basis because they would be taken off “ready” status. Former Secretary of State Schultz wrote that the Reliable Replacement Warhead, (RRW), research and development needed to go ahead. Kerry and Obama oppose this. Secretary Kissinger did not support going to the very low numbers being suggested, including the number proposed by Kerry. He further emphasized that deterrence had to be maintained, a point made by Secretary Schultz to National Review in a series of recent interviews.The RRW is based on the idea that if a warhead needs replacing we should be able to do so especially if such new warheads are more reliable and secure. Not to do so would put at risk key elements of our deterrent. Schultz and Kissinger have never taken this position nor has Senator McCain. John Kerry is still lying and hopefully this November he would be out of government. As we did with Schroeder and Daschle. The road to maintaining peace and deterrence is not the same road as going to abolition.One keeps the peace. The other is fatuous nonsense. LBJ signed medicaid and medicare into legislation....so much for not being a liberal ^^^ That's when Social Security began going bankrupt. When Democrats began raiding the fund. A failed program. It's a fact, it's a failure and Johnson was against it. Kennedy picked Johnson for Veep because of his conservatism. If not for that, Nixon would have won. It was a very close race. But, the kooks of that party began taking over. Whereas Johnson was pressured by the kooks into signing socialist legislation and in return, the kooks in Congress gave Johnson everything else in the Kennedy/Johnson platform, including the Vietnam war. Johnson knew the south, the west and Midwest would be lost and it did. Overnight Democrats became Republicans, red states. Like Frank Sinatra and most true Americans.

Bush was not dumped but will Massachusetts finally dump Kerry in 4 months? Posted: 7/1/2008 1:52:09 AM
^^^ You are not at all like JFK and LBJ. Not at all like Harry S. Truman and not at all like FDR. More like Dukakis, Mondale, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, Pat Schroeder, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Diane Feinstein. I'm going by your revealing numerous posts. JFK would have been consider a hawk today because of his strong stand against the Soviet Union and especially during the Cuban Missile Crises. Kennedy supported a strong military and an aggressive foreign policy which included strong anti-communism initiatives in the Latin America and a firm stance against the Soviets in Germany after the rise of the Berlin Wall. Kennedy believed in a foreign policy from the stand point of American strength. Not the Democrats and since 1968, so it's not today's liberals, but for the Democrat party the past 40 years. Kennedy was against any negotiation with the Castro regime in Cuba and during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crises in which the Soviet Union introduced Nuclear Missiles into Cuba aimed at the United States, Kennedy's steadfast stand on the removal of those missiles caused Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to back down and remove the missiles under United Nations observation. It was later learned that a side deal to remove obsolete US missile from Turkey already scheduled for removal was brokered with the Soviets in turn for a pledge that the US would not invade Cuba. Barack Obama has already indicated that upon assuming the Presidency he would immediately move to pull our troops out of Iraq regardless of the consequences to both Iraq and the Middle East. Obama has a very obvious anti-military attitude and believes that the best way to handle terrorism is through talking with Islamic Fanatics such a Osama bin Laden. He has also indicated that he would quickly begin talks with Raul Castro the new, "President, " of Cuba a stand that is in direct opposition to US policy that has been in effect since the Kennedy Administration. Obama does not see having a strategic advantage as part of US foreign policy SANCTITY OF LIFE - JFK was a Catholic and his personal beliefs were against abortion. His one appointment to the Supreme Court opposed Roe vs Wade. Kennedy supported several initiatives while in the Senate and as President to make adoption easier to allow the finding of families for children both born and unborn. Barack Obama voted against the ban on partial birth abortion, supports Roe vs Wade, voted against parents of minors being notified about a daughters pending abortion has a 0% rating with pro - life groups. TAXES - President Kennedy was the first President to institute a tax cut as a means to spur the economy. He also was pushing for tax reform to simplify the tax code and the way that taxes are filed to reduce the tax burden on the American people. Barack Obama has indicated that in order to fund his many spending proposals he will raise taxes. While serving in the Senate Obama voted against every measure before the Senate to reduce taxes. He has garnered a 100% rating by the CTJ indicating he favors progressive taxation. John F. Kennedy understood the necessity of working with both his Democrat Party and members of the GOP. Kennedy even installed several Republicans as members of his cabinet in order to get views from both sides of the political spectrum as he made the hard decisions of his day. Barack Obama is highly partisan and in fact was rated as the most liberal Senator in the United States Senate for the year 2007. Kennedy's optimism about our nation was based on Americans working for the betterment of the nation. He said, " Ask NOT what your Country can do for you, ask what you can do for your Country.' Those who are attempting to use the iconic status of John F. Kennedy within the Democrat Party and also those who respect and admire the 35th President who are not Democrats, as a means of bolstering the candidacy of Barack Obama are barking up the wrong tree. The differences between JFK and Obama are more numerous than those that have been mentioned in this post. Kennedy while having his well publicized short comings was a far cry from the liberal, anti war, tax and spend Barack Obama and liberal Democrats of the past 40 years to date. The party left JFK as it did Ronald Reagan and most of us.

NBC is not the broadcast news of old rather, it's sin in journalism. Posted: 7/1/2008 12:50:50 AM
The few journalist around in every network and paper are the ones keeping it legitimate. New York Times for instance has lost it's credibility. No longer can a person read an article without getting distracted at the reporter's opinion in the story. If it's a political story, forget getting all the facts. Got to skip a lot of the gossip to get the full accurate story and read more elsewhere to get the full unbias story. NBC has become quasi press. Too much skipping and too much gossip. Perhaps it has to do with too many women in the news and turning it into soap opera journalism. The news of old is no longer. Unless Islam takes over and restores the patriarchy from a matriarchy. In the news of course, women can still vote and dance nude all they want.

US Sucked Into Israeli - Iran Conflict Posted: 6/21/2008 2:01:40 AM
The Russian as always threw the monkey wrench in Iran. They armed Iraq and their military equipment proved junk. All the junk Saddam had from Russia and China sucked. Same thing with Iran. Iran can scream about big blows like Iraq used to. In the end, they will start from scratch. Israel has been more than patient so have we. It's time to bomb Iran once and for all. Russia will make money again by rebuilding Iran's reactors. Then those reactors will get destroyed again. We can live with high gas prices, we're already doing it. No fear about temporary higher prices. Bush better hurry up before Israel gets the all glory. Perhaps a joint venture since Iran brags about being this great superpower with all of that Russian military crap.

Is the Republican party running out of gas ? Posted: 5/18/2008 11:33:31 AM
The Democrats are running out of gas. That was the Republican TV Ad exposing the Democrats during Reagan's first run to the White House in 1980. They had look-alike Democrats on the Ad. It was a good Ad. The Tip O'Neill Speaker of the House actor sure looked like the real one. What's interesting is the fact, it still applies to Democrats. It's the Democrats that have stop domestic oil production while insisting other countries increase their oil production. Taxing big oil will not happen. Most Democrats are shareholders and receive campaign money from big oil. Secondly, many Democrats are from oil producing states. However, it always make for good election slogans to win office. It's ageless. Only an idiot leftist candidate would actually put forth a bill taxing oil company profits. Without profits, no oil production and exploration. The reason Venezuela cannot produce anymore oil. Oil companies are not allow to profit. They receive a payroll. Leaving Chavez with an empty bag and at the mercy of gasoline from the US. All of their gasoline comes from here. They have no refineries to refine their oil as many countries around the world have few to none. Oil companies refuse to build them on account of these leftist governments denying them of profits in both oil production and refinery. Yep, the Democrats Are Running Out Of Gas.

Plan to Destroy America Posted: 12/22/2007 11:01:01 PM
What mental midgets. Europe needs paint. Europeans live under various forms of dictatorships, some more than others. The EU confederate was easily welcomed and countries absorbed due to socialist European nations lack of freedom. Only the UK is holding out but Brown signed new pact treaties, without cameras, in hiding and the British as other Europeans, can't do nothing. They are afraid. He gave more of England away this past week to the EU. Fact is, the world does not hate America, leftists do and the leftist decedents of the Loyalists that fled to Canada. They feared old king George and crapped in their pants of the thought of fighting the Red Coats so fled and populated east Canada. Till this day they cannot stomach any war and jealous that we still can. Presently, these decedents of the cowards of 1776 were finally given a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States. They have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy. While the form of treachery since 1776 varies slightly from case to case to the present, Canadians always manage to take the position that most undermines American security.

Hillary Going After DeadBeat Dads.... Posted: 12/22/2007 10:31:46 PM
LOL I can't believe I just heard a republican complaining about the "Loophole" of Clintons presidency. Considering Gore had the majority even after her had Nader take a chunk of his votes. Now, that's a bizarre viewpoint since there is no complaining, just from liberals and foreigners. Typical. Liberals have this nasty shortcoming of turning on each other. Nader at Gore, Michael Moore at Nader and the rest of these bizarre loonies showed the world of their shortcomings.

A New Cold War? Posted: 12/22/2007 10:00:52 PM
Now we have a third variable, China. Wrong decade. China was at one time...not anymore. In the past 20 years, China has been a close partner. Since Nixon, politicians of both parties believe in throwing America's doors open to goods from all over the world, regardless of the protectionist practices of our trade partners. To them, free trade is an article of faith and faithful observance its own reward. The new cold war began this past year with Russia. It's on again, difference being, Russia has become rich from it's oil and natural gas sales to it's European neighbors. Putin is a true and real leader, China has none. We pushed NATO into Moscow's face, bringing six ex-Warsaw Pact nations and three ex-Soviet republics, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, into our Cold War alliance and plotted to bring in Ukraine and Georgia. We financed a pipeline from Baku through Georgia to the Black Sea to cut Russia out of the Caspian oil trade. After getting Moscow's permission to use old Soviet bases in Central Asia to invade Afghanistan, we set about making the bases permanent. We pulled out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty over Moscow's objection, then announced plans to plant ABM radars in the Czech Republic and anti-missile missiles in Poland. Putin has now responded in kind, and who can blame him? As we tried to cut him out of the Azerbaijan oil with a Black Sea pipeline, he is slashing subsidies on Ukraine's oil and colluding with Germany on a Baltic Sea pipeline to cut Poland out of the oil trade with Western Europe. As we moved our alliance and bases into his front and back yard, he has entered a quasi-alliance with China and four nations of Central Asia to expel U.S. military power from the region. As we abandoned the ABM Treaty, the Duma, in November, voted 418 to 0 to suspend participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty, which restricts the size of the Russian army west of the Urals. If we recognize Kosovo as independent, at the expense of Serbia, Putin is now threatening to recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia, the breakaway republics of Georgia and Transneistria, claimed by Moldova. Where we backed the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Rose Revolution in Georgia, Russia backs its favorites in Kiev and supports street protests in Tbilisi against the pro-American regime of Mikhail Saakashvili, whom the United States now seems powerless to help. It was not NATO that liberated Eastern Europe. Moscow did, by pulling out the Red Army after half a century. Why, then, did we think moving NATO into Eastern Europe was a surer guarantee of their continued independence than the goodwill of Russia? Many among our foreign policy elite now talk of a Second Cold War. John McCain wants Russia kicked out of the G-8. The economic and diplomatic pressures being exerted by China... There is none. China since Nixon assists America. China's currency is tied in with the Dollar and China depends on American consumers, trade and technology. The US financial and foreign policy is tiptoe on the tight-wire right now. If that was so, you and everybody else would be living as the Germans were after WW One. I worry about that. Our dreams may be in orbit with a falling star... Only if you marry. Divorce cleaned you out before and if you marry again, your dreams will be in orbit with falling stars again. I don't see any action here, but a war by economic means.... There's been tremendous action since Reagan. Same policy that the Nixon Adminstration initiated with heavy trade and political partnership with Japan. And with South Korea and other Asian nations including Vietnam. What should be our course?..... Staying the course of the past 40 years that began with Nixon including NAFTA-CAFTA and the WTO. Remember the love the Chinese leaders had for Nixon back in the days? They still do. If you want to worry, worry about Putin. He will be Russia's leader for many years. At virtually every turn, Mr. Putin and the Russian leadership appear to be doing their best in ways large and small to marginalize and embarrass the United States and undercut U.S. foreign policy interests. China has not.

The United States is once again suppressing information that runs counter to invasion. Posted: 12/8/2007 12:17:09 PM
Really? This is news to me. It's never too late to start reading some news unless you're a hermit. So, this is the reason the Czechs need for buying a US missile defense system......interesting. Haven't you heard about Russia's concerns of missile defense systems in Poland and at the Czech republic. It has ignited the return of the bear. The US polices the world? Common knowledge, old news. Who elected them to do this? There was no vote, common knowledge. The RCMP? Now that's funny. And when are they going to start reducing? Now. And when the EU becomes one true entity, America will sit back and relax. For years now the EU has been telling other nations what to do, how to behave and what's needed. Haven't you been reading any news this past decade alone? Now this is just funny.......You think the Arab nations are not arming themselves? Not concern of Iran? Especially Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE ? Where have you been? Arabs are Sunnis, Iran is not Arab, they are Persians, Shiite Muslims with nuclear plants. There are hundreds of sanctions against Israel and we are looking the other way. The U.N. Human Rights Council has spent the full period of its existence investigating Israeli "violations" of human rights, to the exclusion of all other nations. Of all the nations in the world, Israel is the only one to earn the special status of being permanently placed on the UNHRC's monthly agenda. First, the UNHRC examines Israel, and then, if there is any time left, they go to new business. To date, there's been no time left. Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota has had enough: "You've got countries like North Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe where you have state-sponsored brutality, and what we have is deafening silence," he told Haaretz. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved legislation advanced by Coleman aimed at cutting off funding to the UNHRC. The UNHRC is getting a bit of attention among the Washington establishment, as well. Assistant Secretary of State Kristen Silverberg called the council's first year a serious disappointment. She reproached member states for abandoning their responsibility to defend suffering peoples in countries like Sudan, Burma, Zimbabwe and Cuba and instead devoted their energies to attacking Israel. The argument that Israel displaced hundreds of thousands of Arabs collapses when one shines the light of history on it. When Israel won its war of independence, Jews were forced to flee by the hundreds of thousands from their homes in Arab countries. According to an estimate by the House Foreign Affairs Middle East and South Asian Subcommittee, as many as 850,000 Jews fled Arab states following Israel's rebirth in 1948, their wealth, land and property confiscated. Israel absorbed its refugees, who are now integrated into Israeli society. The Arab states interned their refugees in concentration camps, where they formed Islamic terror societies. Yet the UNHRC makes no judgment on why the "refugees" are still in camps 60 years later. Instead, it blames Israel for the misery of the camps they live in, as if it were Israel who concentrated them there. Since Israel's restoration, the U.N. General Assembly has adopted 681 resolutions against the Jewish state regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, 101 of which condemned Israel for the plight of the Palestinian refugees. Just what is it about Israel that invokes such universal hatred that countries like those mentioned above get a pass for serial mass murder while the UNHRC focus all its attention on tiny Israel? While we're on the subject, why is tiny little Jerusalem, barely a suburb compared with the world's major cities, the most-watched and most important city on the face of the earth? Of all the nations of the earth, why Israel? Israel was founded on the ashes of the Holocaust, settled by survivors of Hitler's madness who had nothing left but their lives and the clothes on their backs. It's foundational rallying cry was "Never again" – a reference to the Holocaust – and it is one of the only genuine Western-style democracies in the Middle East; an oasis of freedom surrounded by a sea of malignant dictatorships. Yet even Western democracies hesitate to fellowship too closely with Israel lest they offend their Arab neighbors – the same neighbors who built the concentration camps, spawned the terrorist movement and have provided it with material and support for years. That is who the West fears alienating. Then there is Jerusalem. It is the most-watched and most analyzed strategic city on the face of the earth. It is the pivot point upon which Middle East peace, or Middle East war, is balanced.

The word of America means nothing!!!!! Posted: 11/20/2007 7:29:50 PM
Must be awful for you op. To live day in and day out in a nation that means nothing to you. Your lost because America means a lot to so many, past and present. America is still the beacon of light for many around the world. America means everything and you know it. You are just sour grapes. War of 1812 was with England. Canada was not a country rather a colony inhabited by French, British and former Americans (Loyalists) that fled to Ontario after the Revolutionary War. Land given to them by King George for their treachery. After American forces burned down all government building in Toronto, known then as York, British general attempted to burn down the White House. American forces put out the fire and caught up with the general in Virginia and killed him and his forces before they reached British ships off the coast.

Democrats are demoralized Posted: 11/20/2007 6:56:35 PM
I've noticed that all hell broke loose there since Bhutto returned to Pakistan. In the meantime, the current funding standoff will force the Pentagon to make budget cuts at bases in the U.S. to cover the costs of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, including sending furlough notices to as many as 100,000 civilian employees. Democrats want a pullout plan for retreat and surrender just as U.S. forces are winning ground against terrorists and insurgents in Iraq.

Ecuador wants military base in Miami Posted: 10/26/2007 12:49:56 PM
It's actually a small base in Ecuador use for monitoring drug activity. It's not a large military base. If you actually take that year old liberal article to heart....why are you still here? You should be living in another planet or at least be in some deserted island. Where you will be safe and alive from America. Lest the US Navy will find you in that island. Better off in another planet. Presently,we can't find you there. US and EU sanctions against Iran would not be in place if that was a merited or at the least a mainstream media article. Heck, Russia and China despite it's support for Iran, support the sanctions. Two faced? Yep. No matter how much liberals want to wish for their agendas to preside all over the world, the US with the EU rule the world. EU extends to countries outside Europe. Not a day passes where one reads of the EU extending it's weight on countries outside of Europe. With the World bank, Corporations, World trade, UN, etc., all fall under and participate with US and EU globalization. No matter who is President, liberals will always whine and criticize. Liberals do influence loose canon around the world particularly in third world countries. People like Ecuador's President, Venezuela's President and Iran's President and African states. Their speeches are very similar to the venom that comes out of the mouths of liberals in the US, Canada and portions of Europe. More so the venom that comes out of the Canadian left as a poster commented. Zuse didn't use electronics. He just designed mechanical calculators. His machine was designed to store programs on cards, while the working unsuccessfully done by mechanical cogs and wheels. He actually copied Charles Babbage's works of calculators. The first electronic computer was finished in 1942, when its creator at Iowa State University was called up for the war effort. Another one at the University of Pennsylvania, funded by the military, was finished in 1945. John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry built the Atanasoff-Berry Computer at Iowa State. For decades, credit for inventing the computer went to the Penn team of John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert who built the ENIAC (the Electronic Numerial Integrator and Computer). It was used to calculate trajectories for artillery shells and was useful until the late 1950s. Most of it is now displayed at the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of American History in Washington. The rest of ENIAC, a 20-foot bank of tubes, is displayed at Penn (University of Pennsylvania).

What is Canada doing about it's Immigration problem? Posted: 10/22/2007 1:45:47 AM
If people want to know how immigrants feel about Canada's Immigration problem check out: notcanada.com and notcanada.net Written by immigrants to warn others NOT to come to Canada. I did and it is so. Great Websites!!! Immigrants from Canada have shared the racism and hardship they suffered in Canada. At first I thought they were exaggerating but after hearing similar stories from others and confirmation from Canadians living here, it's disgusting. Sad thing about those immigrants is that they thought Canada was like the United States, they sure leaned the hard way. They were denied US Visas so settled in Canada thinking it was the same.

Positive Things in Afghanastan- what Main Stream Media Is Not Reporting Posted: 10/22/2007 1:28:15 AM
As long as al Qaeda and the Ba'athist bitter-enders believe that Western divisions might destroy the U.S.-led coalition, they will have an incentive to continue the fight. Once they lose that incentive, they might well decide that, with Iraq unlikely to fall, they had better look for alternative strategies in their global jihad. Al Qaeda's analysis is that the Western democracies will never unite to develop a common strategy against terror. At one point, when Chirac invited German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Russian President Vladimir Putin to a gathering to forge an anti-American triple alliance, al Qaeda's analysis appeared plausible. Now, however, both Chancellor Angela Merkel and France's President Sarkozy understand that the perception of Western disunity may be one of the factors that prolongs the conflict in Iraq. Nicolas Sarkozy has corrected foreign policy mistakes made by his predecessor Jacques Chirac. Chief among these was Chirac's desperate efforts to prevent Iraq's liberation from Saddam Hussein's regime of terror. Chirac failed to save his friend's regime but managed to sour relations with the United States, Great Britain and more than 40 other democracies that joined the Coalition of the Willing to liberate Iraq in 2003. Sarkozy's moves to correct the mistake started before his election, when he met President Bush at the White House in 2006 and described Chirac's policy as "arrogant." Kouchner, France's new foreign minister is one of a handful of people in the West who recognized the murderous nature of Saddam's regime and called for its overthrow as early as the 1980s. In fact, Kouchner, a medical doctor by training, partly made his public image by helping the hundreds of thousands of Kurdish refugees who fled from Saddam's tyranny in the 1970s and the 1990s. Sarkozy has made it clear that he wants France on the side of the United States and other democracies in the global war against terrorism. No one expects France to send troops to Iraq; nor is that necessary. But by clearly indicating whose side France is on, Sarkozy has already repaired part of the damage done by Chirac and his entourage.

US being sold out again Posted: 10/16/2007 10:32:36 AM
The Convention is not the United Nations – it was merely negotiated there, as are many agreements, and negotiated by States, not by UN bureaucrats. Further, just because a treaty was drawn up at the UN does not mean it does not serve our interests. For example, the United States benefits from UN treaties such as the Convention Against Corruption and the Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings. The Law of the Sea Convention is another such treaty that serves U.S. interests. No international tribunal would have jurisdiction over the U.S. Navy. U.S. military activities, including those of the U.S. Navy, would not be subject to any form of dispute resolution. The Convention expressly permits a party to exclude from dispute settlement those disputes that concern "military activities." The United States will have the exclusive right to determine what constitutes a military activity. The Convention enhances, rather than undermines, our ability to wage the war on terror. Maximum maritime naval and air mobility is essential for our military forces to operate effectively. The Convention provides the necessary stability and framework for our forces, weapons, and materiel to get to the fight without hindrance. It is essential that key sea and air lanes remain open as a matter of international legal right and not be contingent upon approval from nations along those routes. The senior U.S. military leadership – the Joint Chiefs of Staff – has recently confirmed the continuing importance of U.S. accession to the Convention in a letter to the Committee. There's a myth that President Reagan thought the treaty was irremediably defective. President Reagan identified only certain deep seabed mining provisions of the Convention as flawed. His 1983 Ocean Policy Statement demonstrates that he embraced the non-deep-seabed provisions and established them as official U.S. policy. The 1994 Agreement overcomes each of the objections to the deep seabed mining provisions identified by President Reagan. The 1994 Agreement, which contains legally binding changes to the 1982 Convention, fundamentally overhauls the deep seabed mining provisions in a way that satisfies each of the objections of the United States, as stated by President Reagan, and of other industrialized countries. the United States has stringent laws regulating protection of the marine environment, and we would be in a stronger position as a party to the Convention as we encourage other countries to follow suit. We are party to a group of 1958 treaties that contain many of the same provisions as the Convention. The United States heavily influenced the content of the 1982 Convention, based on U.S. law, policy, and practice. The treaty has been the cornerstone of U.S. oceans policy since 1983, when President Reagan instructed the Executive Branch to act in accordance with the Convention’s provisions with the exception of deep seabed mining. Joining the Convention provides other economic benefits: it also gives coastal States the right to claim an exclusive economic zone ("EEZ") out to 200 nautical miles. That gives the United States, with its extensive coastline, the largest EEZ of any country in the world. In this vast area, we have sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring, exploiting, conserving, and managing living and non-living natural resources. The United States has one of the largest continental shelves in the world; in the Arctic, for example, our shelf could run as far as 600 miles from the coastline.

Nantucket was once Canada as Beijing was once Peking. Will Satan be applauded? Posted: 9/2/2007 11:09:12 AM
^^^^^ That's hilarious.. Hey, more power to him and many thought he became obsolete while overnight, he's become a PM. Best part of the reading is the name change. Salmi has legally changed his name to Satan, so his challenge in federal court reads Satan against Her Majesty The Queen.
