Yup, it''s done in the medical field all the time.
Been a victim of it a few times. But I have learned my lesson though.
But anywho, these people that think that Bush has had something to do with flying planes into buildings,, well he ain''t smart enough for that. - Reply to this comment

Yes it is a conspiracy. The main players are the conspirators, their intention to make America attack them worked. They are now doing the rest of their plan which is to unify ''Islam'' under one banner and conquer the world in the name of Allah. All they need do now is keep the war going while they recruit ''Jihaddist'' to fight "The Great Satan". Its a ploy used in business everyday, Its called ''bait and switch''..... - Reply to this comment
- a recent report indicates that by 2025, the US will be a 2nd rate power with Russia and China becoming the real economic and military powers in the world.
It certainly doesn''t take an intelligence report to tell anyone this. A look thru history books should be enough.
Example: When the US fought in WWII, the manufacturing base built over 10,000 B-24 Liberator bombers to fight Germany and Japan. This was just one military aircraft among THOUSANDS of HUNDREDS of different military aircraft that were built AT THE SAME TIME!
And we are not counting the navy ships, artillery, guns, uniforms, etc, etc.
Today we can''t even assemble a computer; the Chinese or Indians have to do it for us!!!!
Our manufacturing base is gone, sold out from under us by power-mad politicians and greedy executives in corporate and financial America; the REAL traitors!!!
The sun is setting on the Stars and Stripes as we march backward into history!
SIG HEIL, PATRIOTISM IS MEASURED BY HOW MUCH GOLD YOU HAVE!!!, BUSH!!! - Reply to this comment
- Let''s not write ourselves off yet. If mainstream America wakes up and starts to recognize just what is happening we could rally to the cause and put ourselves on a war footing with those that have undermined and reeked havoc on our country. Even if everything crashes we can pick up the pieces, throw the rats off the ship and build a new and solid economy that can weather things going forward.

- Less U.S. power is not a bad thing for the rest of the world. The U.S. has been bullying the world with its military and economic might ever since the end of second world war. We only have about 4 percent of the world''s polulation but spend as much on the miltary as all other nations combined. Time to end the policies of militarism and learn to live in the world with a less agressive foreign policy

- The call to eliminate unions seems to be fashionable lately, but if it happens it still won''''t save Detroit. What''''s killing Detroit was and and is FREE TRADE, pure and simple. While the U.S. practices free trade with other countries, they DON''''T do the same with us. While we happily eliminated our tariffs and outsource our labor and equipment to other countries, they do everything they can to PROTECT theirs. Case in point: While we mport as many Japanese and Korean vehicles as the market will bear, guess how many U.S. cars they ALLOW in their country? Look it up. Other countries don''''t practice free trade. While we protect the profit of multinational corporations, they protect their domestic industries and thus their national interest.
As long as the U.S. keeps up this fallacy of "free trade", no amount of bailout or union-busting will save the Big 3.

Free Trade is at the root of our problems. Our politicians have been bought and paid for and are still trying to sell us this load of goods.
Wanna know where our jobs went? Wanna know why our economy is in the tank? Wanna know why America is now on the downslide toward 3rd world status?
It''s all because our leaders have sold us out for multi-national no-allegience corporation profits.
Want to save America?
End free trade. - Reply to this comment

- Good! It''s about time.
Greece''s golden era lasted only a few hundred years.
Rome''s a few hundred as well.
Same for Spain''s.
Same for France''s.
Same for Britain''s.

- The other day there was a guy on the forum talking about the Bush/Cheney involvement in the 911 attacks and their subsequent attempts to block the investigations of it.
Several people went way out of their way to label the guy a delusional conspiracy nut wackjob.
And I''ve been thinking to myself .... but the FBI says it was a conspiracy ... the 911 commission says it was a conspiracy ... even my 7 year old sister knows it was a conspiracy.
I guess the thing is people are afraid to believe anything but the official version of the events - even though that story comes from 962 time public liar Bush (wmd, wmd, wmd).
It must be easier to believe a self-indicted liar than the proof folks see with their own eyes watching as steel-framed buildings collapse and fall at the rate of gravity, just like it happens in professional demolitions.
Kinda hard to believe actually. - Reply to this comment
- You probably even refuse to believe your own eyes when you witness the twin-towers falling at the rate of gravity in an obvious controlled demolition...

You should stop spamming the blog. This is not CNN, CBS viewers are liberal demorcrats. They will kick your a$$. - Reply to this comment
- Our brave soldiers, as well as the Bush led sheeple, are being deluded by an administration which is the very definition of pure evil. The soldiers die defending not our freedom, but a sinister plot resulting in the single largest transfer of wealth the world has ever known - all thanks to Bush.
If you believe one word Bush spews forth like toxic waste then you are apparently not ready to be "unplugged." You probably even refuse to believe your own eyes when you witness the twin-towers falling at the rate of gravity in an obvious controlled demolition. And have you found the missing airplane wreckage from the supposed pentagon attack yet? It''s big, about 1/2 the size of a football field, you can''t miss it !
Evil truly lives in the heart of the Bush/Cheney/Saudia crime syndicate - but you don''t have to follow them to hell ! - Reply to this comment
