I ask the following question because I do not know, I don't ask it to be a jerk. How many US assets of this magnitude of strategic importance are owned by actual foreign governments? I am not asking about private or public companies owned by people of different nationalities or based in...

I counter your points by saying that the real issue is that the UAE company is STATE owned. It is owned by the actual government of the UAE. It is not a publically held company, it is not accountable to a board, to shareholders, or to the market. It is an arm of the UAE government. I...

Oddly enough, I had similar feelings for the first 3 or 4 years of his presidency... I made myself believe that he had a plan, or that he knew something important that we didn't. I also believed that Bush was much more intelligent than most people would give him credit for. But slowly, I...

It seems to me that the real issue is that the UAE company is actually STATE owned, it does not seem to be some sort of private enterprise (at least not beyond the surface level). The British company, according to the source article, does not appear to be owned by the UK government. If this...

BINGO! That's what will happen. The rest of the folks who are still gun owners will increasingly considered a little crazy. That will increase the social pressure against any form of gun ownership. A little peer pressure goes a long way for many. The situation will be similar to the idea...

Is there a link to this online? A search on FOXNEWS.com didnt turn up anything.

So then, if we were to pick who we decide to teach, then we would have better schools? Can I pick all the smart kids, then take credit for how smart they are by saying that I taught them? :p Maybe they should let doctors pick who they will treat in the ER, so then they won't have so many...

It scary yes, but I think large organizations like the US government are very resilient to problems like these. That is partly what makes thinks so difficult to get done in good times. In bad times, the organization will protect itself, there are enough stopgaps, procedures, and good people to...

If Bush would have analysed the situation the first time as you just did , then he would have never nominated Meirs to begin with. Before he nominated Meirs, he had time, and he knew all along he would have to nominate someone. He had the option of thinking it through, considering his options...

I'm calling he'll nominate Gonzalez, because he "knows" him. Bush might even say he "knows his heart." Then he'll appoint Meirs to the be his Attorney General. Folks, I think that is all he's got. I'm not sure that he would know who else to nominate otherwise. Bush has been doing some...

Thanks, Monkeyleg.

Thanks Firebreather, did a search on Hadman. I just read about this and I'm still recovering from the realization that it is still technically illegal in WI to conceal carry in your OWN home! It still hasn't sunk in... WOW. The realization that the RKBA in WI is an amendment only handful of...

Can anyone forward any good links to help me find info on the legality of having a firearm (handgun or long gun) for protection in a place of work in the state of Wisconsin. I checked Packing.org, but that is geared for CCW, not simply having a gun available at your own place of work. The...

Hey that's funny! That is exactly what happened with the Brewer's Miller Stadium here in Milwaukee. Ok, not exactly, because it was the legislators themselves that voted the stadium down initially. After realizing that, "oops, too many voted no", they promptly re-voted and passed the bill...

To me it seems like the Republicans are fighting this nomination just as much, if not more than the Democrats are. If this was the plan, I don't think it is working like they were expecting. Also, I don't think that those in the confirmation process would just give up after one bad...

Some of the comments made here seem a bit oversimplified, so I think it is worth repeating some thoughts that have been mentioned here...(this is directed at no one in particular). My apoligies in advance for the long rant... The people that are left in the ravaged areas are most likely the...

EDIT: Sorry guys! I put my long rambling rant in the wrong thread! I feel stupid... :o I just moved it to the "looter" thread.

Oh, by the way, I also agree that people should be free to make total asses of themselves when exercising there 1st amendment rights. It is not worth suggesting that limits be placed on free speech because of a few jerks that do a good enough job of discrediting themselves. It is unfortunate...

Most of the things I have read or seen seem to show protesters that are sympathetic to the soldiers, but are upset at our civilian leadership that has put them in the situation they are in now. I can't see how anyone besides the most idiotic would think insulting a soldier would be beneficial...

Just to clarify... It is scary that we are asking whether or not folks back someone else's RIGHT to protest because it is precisely that, a RIGHT (whether we like their tactics/messages or not). The fact that this question is being asked implies that it is debatable. However, I am a bit...
