Glenn Beck?? Ah! so what? The guy admits to being in the tank for ten years and not knowing if he was even, or ever sober during that time. But using the word charlatan in conjunction with him seems a bit underhanded and unfair, dont you think? There's always two sides to a peanut butter sandwich. Reminds me of troubled times when we were duped by every nut case coming down the road with something to sell. Sadder yet, we're still getting the same snake oil treatment today, regardless of who's selling it. Thanks DJ, I appreciate your honest endeavor to supply me with some information on the issue. Curious? To say I am not, would be a damn lie. While I'm more conservative than liberal, I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican, and continue to vote my convictions. To be perfectly honest, I have never voted along straight party lines, ever. Since I don't particurally like our Presidents politics and saw this: obama crimes.com thing on the tube, i googled it up. The rest is yesterday and todays history, with the exception of a three hour session of playing cards with one of my sons today. I won!

Selling what? And extremism? Are we on the same page? May I remind you Sir, no where did I make a personal accusation, slur or even the slightest innuendo concerning Mr. Obama. Those quotes were taken directly from "google". I merely asked for some formal direction in understanding the issue. Now, If that disqualifies me from being a part of this forum, so be it, and I really can't stop you. But don't threaten me as being dishonest by trying to hobble my curiosity or convictions. You may not agree with where I stand on the issues, but do you actually placate some of the insults I answered to, as part of a supposed, "civil discussion"? As Judge Judy says, dont pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. I don't like replying to insults, but I can.

Try posing as a doctor, dentist or an attorney for a couple of years. Then let it be proven that you are a phoney. Know what your job will be? Stamping out license plates at "State Pen" Well, you do have a sense of humor, even though it is a sick one. You are quite vociferous in your stance "Nutcase". Have you ever actually read anything on the issue, or do you just have a funny, runny mouth that make statements reading like a bunch of bean farts? And, you keep the whole world guessing because you won't share this wealth of knowledge with them. Shame on you! Help Obama out. Prove your statements instead of letting an absolute idiot like me stir the sh--.

I'm sure someone has posed these questions and I simply haven't found the post yet. Google is filled with this rhetoric and I was hoping one of you might set me straight on the issue. Please don't quote me on the following, but it's verbatim from the internet. If the quotes below are true, I repeat, "TRUE", then: WE have BEEN "HAD" BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT OFFICALS FOR NOT CHALLANGING THIS MAN"S PRESIDENCY? IF NOT TRUE, THEN ME AND OTHERS LIKE ME, OWE HIM OUR APOLOGIES. THE FOLLOWING ARE QUOTES FROM GOOGLE: *BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DUE TO THE FOLLOWING: * The United States Constitution mandates the President of the United States must be a United States “natural born” Citizen – Article II, Section I; * Obama was born in Mombasa, in what is now Kenya, Africa; * Obama’s legal name is Barry Soetoro; * Obama is an Indonesian Citizen as he was adopted/acknowledged by his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian Citizen; and * The Healthcare bill (ObamaCare) signed into Law by Obama on March 23, 2010 is unconstitutional and voidable since he is ineligible to serve as President of the United States.

I quote Charony: (Especially those with no roots anywhere else) unquote -- What does that statement suppose to imply? And who said that immigrants were dangerous? No where in my statement were those words ever used. Hells fire, we are all decendants of hopefully, legal immigrants. That is, unless your heritage dates back fifteen unblemished generations or more. But now I will say it with a venom, Quote: "I hope, no not hope; I pray the soothesaying milk sop groups crying out to allow this travesty, will be the first to feel the impact of such a debacle should it continue. Unquote: by Rigney I only used the words "illegal aliens". Why should you jump to the conclusion that they came from;;; where?? ///////////////////////////// One of you have previously read the following short essay. Fact is, it's the primise on which this "legal alien" continues trying to become an American citizen. Sir, I entered U.S legally and have tried to maintain my legal status ever since. I am aware of the circumstances where immigrants miss their hearings on purpose to delay proceedings. I missed one such hearing last year. I certainly did not intend it. It was a genuine case of lack of notice of the hearing. I received an order of deportation in absentia. I appealed and it is currently pending in the Board of Immigration appeals. I am married to a U.S resident (who recently received her Green Card) and have a baby daughter almost 2 years old. I could easily have married a U.S citizen and gotten my status adjusted in no time, fraudulently. But I loved my then girl-friend and waited (and am still waiting...its been 8 years). Sometimes I can not sleep at night, dreading the time if and when I am 'suddenly' separated from my child. I have nothing but appreciation for the U.S and having come from a place where I believe the society is rotten, know and love what the United States is. I understand your point. I just don't know what am I going to do if I am separated from my baby. I am not selfish enough to ask or force my wife to move to a rotten place. I have lived responsibly ever since I landed here. I paid all taxes and even created a few jobs. I don't expect the Law to consider all that or my record here. I am left only with appeals to the human conscience. I will not be able to live with out my baby. God Bless

Wow!, Glad I didn't say anything controversial. No, not vigilantism, only the fact that laws are meant to be enforced and obeyed by everyone. No, not subservient to any country, but to the lackadaisical attitude of a government seemingly out of control, and not concerned about illegals breaking these laws. The statement has been made many times, "get in line", there's nothing more special about you than those who have been patiently waiting, letigimately. Hope that's an answer? 'Holy Jesus, Mary and Joseph', and I'm not even cathoilc. My problem is, I should have seen a speech therapist years ago. Proud to make you acquaintence Lad. My condolence in both instances concerning your parents and for my stupid remark. Dave, my oldest son retired several years ago as Senior Master Chief, E-9, while serving aboard the B-B 62, New Jersey. My youngest son Dan retired as a Chief also. I wish you nothing less. This thing with the illegals got out of hand for which I am sorry, but with no remorse. It's time we swept them out the back where they came in from and send them home. Let them take their place in line behind the legitimates. If you're nine foot tall and bullet proof, you can chance jumping line. Otherwise; look close, someone may be packing? I swear!, Had that critter been wearing a shoulder holster, hip hugger or an ankle strap, I'd have taken him as a double of that damn turkey.

C'mon man, if that turkey was packin' a Glock 9mm 28, subcompact strapped to his right leg and didn't shoot, the cop was lucky as hell. Run afoul of that bird last Thanksgiving after stopping at a light. He whips a 44 derringer out from under his left wing and shoots me in the right shoulder, jumped out the window and was gone. Gotta tell you, spam ain't worth a damn when you have to eat it on any holiday.

When science finally unravel matter down to its primal (component)s?, they may find black holes to be more than just places in the universe where matter is compressed into infinite singularities. But to transport humans or any composite material? I don't believe it can happen.

Sorry about the incongruity. But since I'm not blessed with tact, I just speak my mind and shoot from the hip. What many Americans fail to understand is, other than our slim and 'slimming" military; there are few like Davie Crockett, Jim Bowies and their ilk, still here to maintain a nations singing of: "Kum Bai Yah". My whole premise is that it puts us into a mode of subserviency. While the idea may seem strange to some of you: I hope it's not just another pie in the sky?

Never meant for it get into a knock down drag out, ass kicking contest, Jackson; but that seems to be the case. I only asked what such a prepositional phrase might encumber, in its concern for illegals? Personally, I say, let's kick the lot of them back across the border and start over again, even though I love the Mexican people and their culture!! It's only the soothsayers on this side, that bother me.

Don't know where this was meant to be going, but doesn't anecdotal also go in the same pot?

Yes, I remember you now. Your're the one who sent all of the pie charts showing me the inadequacies of Americas world contributions. And to think, your Mom and Dad are actually spending good hard earned money for your higher education??

What I can see is, with the video cam rolling; two illegal maniacs are trying to kill this American cop. Give it a look and tell me, are undocumented illegals a problem, pretentious; or a good thing? Since there seems to have been a specific mind set in your replies, I thought I'd drag the two sentences down here and let you look at them again. Now, what in the world did I say in either of them that gave you carte blanche to be so judgmental in making these assumptions? Read your statements.

Well, I see there was no reason for going outside the forum to get a reply. But are you guys for real or just yanking my band? I hope the latter, but fear the former. One of those shots could have meant this officers life. One of those shots could have meant the end of a family. Evidently neither of you seem to understand or rationalize the consequence. You both seem young by just reading your replies. I hope nothing like that ever happens to either of you, one of your family members or a friend.

If that statement was meant for my own edification, I wouldn't have opened my mouth. Perhaps none of you on the forum, but some bleeding heart will immediately jump on it with both feet and ten good reasons why I shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place. People, we live at a very precarious time. Someone recently described it as; "Sleepy Sheeple Peope time". Do I wonder why? Hell no! The following video is of a Texas lawman targeted for murder by a couple illegal aliens. Is he a good cop, a bad cop, I have no idea and at this time, really don't give a damn. What I can see is; with the video cam rolling; two illegal maniacs are trying to kill this American cop. Give it a look and tell me; are undocumented illegals a problem, pretentious; or a good thing? </SPAN>http://blutube.policeone.com/media/4115-Dashcam-footage-of-officer-being-shot/ </SPAN>

Naaa!, you don't wanna pickle them puppies. When they get too big for the tank, either turn 'em loose in the "Fear" or eat them. Anyhow, you probably have a few "low landers" that sneaked up some of the streams and rivers that flow into the cape area. I've heard tell they're good eatin', just never tried one myself. If you put them in the river, they'll turn south and slow down again. Your, (their) water in the tank is just too clean!

Ydaops, Sorry about my ignorance in not knowing the amount of contributions other nations have contributed to the aid of these unfortunate countries. Each is to be commended. I know the money to accomplish these restoration programs have been hard on these donor nations also. My only problem is, I find it rather capricious that everyone seems to have an easy time in bashing hell out of America regardless of their donations. Make me another graph if you will, showing the blood that our young people have shed in the defense of each of those countries you have listed, even as we speak. Don't get me wrong, soldiers from many of these countries have fought side by side with our troops, and for the same causes. Many of these young nationals have also lost their lives. But, other than our American Revolution when France aided us in throwing off the yoke of tyranny at Englands expense, no soldier of an allied nation has ever been asked to die on American soil in defense of our country. Let me ask again, graph that out for me if you will, as to price and cost. In all honesty, and hoping not to have sounded overly offensive, but at 78, I'm still extremely proud of this country and even more so, to be an American. Thanks! Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged I was also adding in the illegals and those yet to come. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged I was adding in the illegals and those yet to come.

Moon, my only argument with that is, with roughly 65% of Americans on some sort of relief at this very moment, who the hell is doing all of this giving? If that supply runs out, we're gonna be in trouble, "world wolf" at our door, or not...

I'd have to say that since I can't, nor do I wish to get into your head, it's a moot point. Each of us are opinionated. Has my country done things I disagree with on a personal level? Yes. But a bully, not in any respect. We have fought in many wars to help others free themselve from different forms of tyranny and totalitarianism. Am I in discord with my government in any sense, no. Since I don't know your origin or heritage, I hope it isn't something that you can't reconcile in your own mind. One thing's for sure, America has never conquered another power for annexation or to supress that countries people. America probably donates more to world charities than all other countries combined. Up until the present time, we could afford it. As of now, I don't know?

If it opened any old wounds, I apologize for your discomfort. But I specifically made the request not to be nasty if it didn't fit your psyche. There may be folks in the forum who enjoyed it, but are afraid to speak on its behalf because of the ridicule to follow from such a statement. And Alan Jackson? That "Dude" is big enough that I wouldn't wanna be overly offensive to any song he decided to sing. Peachy feely? Never once thought about it that way, but I'll keep it in mind.

Just about everything we see, feel, smell or sense can be explained. But then there is the inexplicable. The following three or four minute video gives me pause to think. Is it God given, or just an act of nature? You be the judge. http://wimp.com/dolphinbubbles/

An old expression, "In for a penny, in for a pound". And since my ignorance gets me into more trouble than I can possibly wiggle out of, and not nearly enough apologies to go around, I want to be "nonobjective" as possible in what I'm about to say. But, could Worm Holes and Black Holes be hyper tunnels leading back to "tick 1" and from where our universe first originated?

Appreciate your input. Having no formal educatrion or direction in physics, my whole concept has always been why? Your explination is very similar to Capn's and JohnBs. I hope someday we can compare our solar system to another and clear up some of the, "So, that's what it's all about"? Thanks.

The Cap'n and JohnB. pretty much hit it on the head. The lock step thing was just a way of expressing my thoughts as to how a system such as ours could remain intact for so long while each planet gallops around the sun at its own individual gait. I know, someone will refute the statement immediately and tell me that chaos is an ongoing event. While that's true, the good part is, other than a ragged asteroid belt and Jupiter getting smacked a short time ago, things in our system have remained rather in order. While I find it extremely hard to understand them, theories and formula are fantastic tools in explaining the already explained to those who do understand. I don't know why, but my thought is that somewhere in the near future we may need a whole new bunch of them to fit new situations. No!, nothing earth shattering, just new concepts.

I'm sorry to have created a constroversy causing such a turmoil of paranoia. My apology goes specificially to "Spyman". Having received a Phd only in H.Ks. many yeards ago, I'm not overly motivated to being congenial when someone calls me out. Am I oblivious to many things? Absolutely. Am I also inquisitive? Yes. While this doesn't belie my ignorance of the universe, I still ask questions. The only thing I seek now is, while being circumspect to the galaxy surrounding us, and a universe at any distance, why do we regard philosophical and platitudianel answers being so mundane as to think we may fall into the sun without gravity? Tell me, where the hell does a (+continual-) speed of everything not enter into the equation, and why not? The lube thing, I do understand.
