9/4     A sagging economy, endless violence in Iraq, record high oil prices,
                                                     \- not "record high" [yet]
                                                        oil prices were higher
                                                        in early 80s. --psb
        a bad employment picture, an uncertain future, and everybody in the
        world hates us, yet the Democrats are now BEHIND in the polls? WTF?
        What the hell happened? How can the Dems lose both in 2000 and now
        it looks like 2004? Are you guys cursed?
        \_ Perhaps a belief that, as bad as things are, the Democrats
           would have made an even greater mess, and better days are ahead.
        \_ 3% GDP growth and 5.4 % unemployment is a sagging economy?Contrast
           that with Carter's double digit inflation, interest rates, and
           unemployment.  Oil prices will be ~30-35$ per barrel by November.
           Also, maybe this has something to do with it:

4/6     The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 gives the president the ability to
        "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet
        traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of
        national security." The bill does not define a critical information
        network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to

saquin AFTER more than 24 hours in the sweltering heat of the school gymnasium in Beslan, one of the boys trapped inside could not take it any longer, writes Peter Conradi. Summoning up his courage, he approached a hostage taker with a bayonet fixed to his assault rifle and asked him for a drink. It was probably the worst error that he could have made. "Instead of giving him water, he drove his bayonet through the boy's body," said Stanislav Tsarakhov, 10, another captive standing nearby. Details of the incident emerged as children who escaped the siege described how their captors had deliberately deprived them of food and water, repeatedly firing guns into the ceiling to try to silence them. "The hostage takers would hold their machineguns to your temple and said that if there was a lot of noise, they would shoot everyone," said a girl, who gave her name only as Zalina. Diana Gadzhinova, 14, who also survived the siege, said that one of the greatest hardships had been the lack of food and drink. "When we were let out to go to the lavatory, some children would run into a room where there were plants in pots and they would eat them," she said. "Others would hide the plants in their underwear and share them with their friends. Some children couldn't take it and would urinate into their hand and drink." At another point, Gadzhinova said, they were all ordered to lie down. There were so many people packed into the gym that they had to lie on top of each other. "The gunmen warned that if there was an arm or a leg in their way, they would shoot at it without warning," she said. For Arsen Khasigov, 11, trapped with his mother, the worst thing was the sleep deprivation. Also horrific was the role played by two "black widows" -- Chechen women who turned to terrorism to avenge husbands and brothers killed during the Kremlin's military clampdown on the breakaway republic. According to accounts from some captives, the women blew themselves up in the first hours of the siege, killing several men near them. if you think what we've witnessed is bad, you've seen nothing yet. Bin Laden has been laying the groundwork, from the is-slimeac perspective, for the use of WMD and the slaughter of innocents in the US There are extensive footnotes and references. He has called (twice) for the President and people of the US to convert to is-slime. He's gotten an is-slimeac scholar to prepare a treatise (25 pages of it) to justify it - including the death of children, including the death of women, including the death of mo-slimes. Per the book, by their standards, the use of WMD is now 100% justified. Bin Laden may be many things, but he knows the mo-slime street. We had better wake up and smell the coffee - before we wake up dead. View Replies To: MegaSilver That really breaks my heart. We REALLY need to get rid of these verministic freaks from the face of this planet. While, we're at it, we should also get rid of all those people who sympathize with terrorists like CAIR and leftists. View Replies To: saquin ATTENTION ALL LIBERALS: This is NOT an ELECTION YEAR TRICK BY BUSH to scare you. This is reality of the jihadist Islamofascists' war on all non-Muslims. View Replies To: saquin I ws listening to Savage coming home last night and getting about as fired up as he was. It struck me that it would be an appropriate punishment for all the little vandals arrested in NYC this week to be flown to Russia (in a C-130 - nothing comfortable), forced to dig the graves of these children, then required to clean up the carnage in that school. View Replies To: Democratshavenobrains If the DUhers had to put up with something half as horrible as this, they would become the biggest warmongers on the planet. In the case of the "Black Widows" who blew themselves and several nearby men, they'd blame the men for standing too closely. View Replies To: saquin Maybe if that boy had taken Kerry's advice and used sweet reason with his captors, he would be alive today. Too bad he had to provoke them by asking for a drink of water. View Replies To: saquin This trash is going to find themselves extinct in short order. Bring this scenario to the US and they are finished, both here and abroad. View Replies To: saquin The liberal media has for months been unceasingly shrill about Abu Ghraib. How long do you think that same liberal media will give even scant mention to this far, far greater outrage committed by their beloved islamists? View Replies To: saquin To quote the staightest thinking person in America: We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. Both the US and Europe are still accepting Muslim immigrants. We're trying to democratize a Mulsim country (taking it out is one thing; trying to force it to fit a mold completely contrary to its nature is another).
