But you know what? The kids that are educated according to the dictates of that local school board are the kids of those who elected the school board. On the other hand, when the rules concerning how the kids are educated are set in Washington, the kids of those making the rules are not subject to those rules (they go to private schools).
I stated it that way in response to a post that stated a reconstruction of events that is less supported by established facts than that as established fact. They even went so far as to claim that their reconstruction of events was a fact in the evidence release.
There is only one person who has ever claimed that Churchill knew that Coventry was the target of the raid you are referencing. The more credible claim by other sources is that Churchill knew that an attack was coming but believed that the target was London.
You are missing the OP's point. He is not saying it is hard to influence a member if that group. What makes it hard is that you have to get all of those influencers and you have to do it in such a way that none of them start feeling like you are manipulating them before you have convinced all of them.
Sure your reconstruction is possible, however, we have a thing in this country called benefit of the doubt. More importantly, if for some reason George Zimmerman had been unable to communicate when the police arrived, the reconstruction of what happened based on the other evidence would more closely resemble the story George Zimmerman told than what you suggested.
You are correct, but based on my experience I would bet there are no such people. I expect that anyone who attempts to tell her she is being stupid and wasting her time, no matter how diplomatically phrased, will almost certainly immediately be classed by her in the "enemies" group. I could be wrong, but what little of her writing I have read suggests that she is a paranoid who thinks there is some vast conspiracy out to silence her. Anyone who does not fully support her is a tool of her enemies.
Yes, GWB was born in Connecticut. However, he grew up in Texas and currently lives in the suburbs of Dallas. So, no the property in Texas was not bought purely as a "political prop". GWB has lived in Texas for he overwhelming majority of his life.
I am sorry, nothing I have seen in this story indicates that John Liu botched anything. Why would the existence of those documents indicate that the city comptroller's office botched things?
We do actually have other witnesses who testified that they saw Martin on top of Zimmerman. In addition, the medical examiner reported that Martin had lacerations on his knuckles consistent with having hit Zimmerman and there was a medical report on Zimmerman that indicated that he had injuries consistent with his story (and inconsistent with any of the alternate reconstructions of the incident I have seen described).
Well, what would you do with Al Sharpton and the New Black Panthers (you know the guys who were video taped threatening voters, convicted of it and then had the case dropped by the Attorney General) threatening to riot on your street?
Do you know what "intermediate range" means in the medical examiner's report?
I am going to guess the answer is NO. "Intermediate range" in a medical examiner's report means that the gun was between one and eighteen inches from the entry point when it was fired. So, exactly how does that in any way contradict what I said in the previous posting?
George Zimmerman returned to his car. As he returned to his car, Trayvon Martin approached him and confronted him. I've seen the evidence released and there is no source that was in a position to contradict George Zimmerman's statement as to what happened. There are plenty of witnesses whose statements confirm George Zimmerman's statement, although none of them witnessed the beginning of the confrontation.
Actually, after reading the comments here and on another site, I think this is to help control the rioting after Hugo dies. There is no clear successor to Hugo Chavez (at least from what I have seen) and he only has several months or a couple of years at the outside...if he lives that long, this will be the last U.S. Presidential election he will see.
Well, I would, but since he was killed because his victim was carrying a gun, I can't. Personally I think that the Trayvon Martin case supports the OP's point rather than refutes it, or were you unaware that Trayvon sucker punched George Zimmerman and was on top of him beating his head against the ground when George shot him?
I am completely unfamiliar with any statistics from LaPierre. I am however familiar with statistics from John Lott and they are generally well supported.
I did not say that the U.S. is at war with Iran. I said that Iran is at war with the U.S.. There is a difference between calling someone evil and saying that someone is the "Great Adversary"....You do know what an adversary is don't you?
In addition, if you look at Iran's actions it is clear that they are waging war against the U.S. in much the same way that the U.S. waged war against the Soviet Union.
Actually, there was a story a week or so back whose author claimed that Iran was responsible for those assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists. It was at least as reliably sourced as this story.
I don't remember people claiming it was Russia or Saudi Arabia. I remember people claiming that there were several other equally probable countries that might be behind it besides the U.S. or Israel (with a few saying that they personally thought it was one or another of those other countries).
No, we are not at war with Iran, but they are at war with us and have been since 1979. What part of "The U.S. is the Great Satan (Adversary)" don't you understand?
Both wrong. We gave money to other people to screw with the USSR. Osama arrived on the scene late, and although he played no real role, claimed credit for defeating the Soviets. Osama was not affiliated with any of the groups that the U.S. gave money to (although the Pakistani government may have funneled some U.S. money to them, but the Pakistani government has been playing both sides of the fence since day one).
I don't know, but I bet most people who referred to Mayor Richard Daley today would be referring to Richard M. Daley, who left the office of mayor of Chicago at the end of last year. Considering that he was the mayor of Chicago since 1989, it is not surprising that nobody can name anyone else as mayor of Chicago. Especially when you consider that his father was mayor of Chicago from 1955-1976. They are the two longest serving mayors in the history of Chicago.

No, we should allow people to only have a say in the schools where there children are attending (or would attend if they had children).
But you know what? The kids that are educated according to the dictates of that local school board are the kids of those who elected the school board. On the other hand, when the rules concerning how the kids are educated are set in Washington, the kids of those making the rules are not subject to those rules (they go to private schools).

How would we know if gun violence went down? It's not like I trust the numbers coming from the Venezuelan government now?
Well, I would, but since he was killed because his victim was carrying a gun, I can't. Personally I think that the Trayvon Martin case supports the OP's point rather than refutes it, or were you unaware that Trayvon sucker punched George Zimmerman and was on top of him beating his head against the ground when George shot him?

The dress maker expects to get paid.
But they don't expect to get paid for every person who sees the dress, every time the woman wears the dress.

No the invasion of Afghanistan was a war since it was authorized by Congress.
