Nouri al-Maliki, who is fighting to hold his government together, issued a series of stinging ripostes against a variety of foreign officials who recently have spoken negatively about his leadership. But those directed at Democrats Clinton, of New York, and Levin, of Michigan, were most strident.
'There are American officials who consider Iraq as if it were one of their villages, for example Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin. They should come to their senses: Nouri al-Maliki said at a news conference. FROM THRU THE WALLS OF THE PADDED CELL!!! IN THE FIRST PLACE MALIKI WAS NOT LASHING BACK AT THE U.S. ( THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF LIBERAL SPIN ON THE NEWS) HE WAS DIRECTING HIS REMARKS AT HILLARY CLINTON AND CARL lEVIN However as to these two "coming to their senses" the question is if this is possible due to their lack of any sense. In a more serous vein however the American people have more to fear than from our home grown terrorist,these two and others like them by their putting their political ambitions ahead of the interest of the American people not only frustrate our governments efforts to protect the American people and to build alliances with the other nations but their actions in my mind are treasonous. signed Zarc

BREAKING NEWS!! Just in from thru the walls of the padded cell,scuttlebutt has it that there is a new defense fund being formed, it is Podsoqb,which stands for"piss on dogs save our quarterback". There is no question that it will receive a landslide of support!!! signed Zarc

CAN YOU TOP THIS? It seems that this is happening more and more frequent lately, that is when I'm listening to the news on the Tube and I hear what some of our presidential candidate's and congressmen are saying I just shake my head and exclaim "my God, give me a break". Just today I learned that after Michael Vick had agreed to a plea agreement where he is going to plead guilty to a number of federal charges including dogfighting,gambling,and perhaps extreme cruelty to animals, thus admitting that he lied to the commissioner of the National football league, his team owners, his teammates, and the news media. The Atlanta NAACP Chapter President, R.L. White (I realize that he is not a presidential candidate or a congressman but never the less)stated that the animal rights groups, talk radio and the news media were vilifying the embattled athlete, and that his team and corporate sponsors were prematurely punishing Vick. Please tell me, is this man for real??? signed Zarc

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?

This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time.
The sad thing about it, you can see it coming. I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'
'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'
'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.'
'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith
2. from spiritual faith to great courage
3. from courage to liberty
4. from liberty to abundance
5. from abundance to complacency
6. from complacency to apathy
7. from apathy to dependence
8. From dependence back into bondage'
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Gore: 19 Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000 Bush: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2 Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...'
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.
Thanks for reading this and I hope you will pass it on. WAKE UP AMERICA
