the_vicar One more thing I do is to rate the articles and the comments. If a comment is neither good or bad, I just skip it. I think I do make more money adding the rating.

lloydanthony111 @lloydanthony111 (4698) • United States 2 Nov 08

In his two terms in the White House, US President George W. Bush presided over a fall in America's reputation around the world. History is likely to judge him a failure. Now, his successor will have to dig the US out of a deep...

What Has President Bush Been Doing? lol

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 31 Oct 08

It seems that the current president is trying to deregulate a lot of items before leaving office. Guess he feels that we aren't paying attention to the White House while the race is on and hot. The one I feel is very important...

the_vicar I have nightmares that Bush won't leave office. I have wondered if he will enact some sort of civil law and that he will stay in office. It looks like he has tried to stir things up by siding with Georgia and crossing the borders into Syria and Pakistan. Then...

Obama's Tax Plan

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 27 Oct 08

Lets talk about Obama’s “redistribution of wealth”. I can see by the discussions here that the conservatives are having a really hard time understanding this. So, I am going to try and put this into simple terms so that everyone...

the_vicar If the money is re-invested back intot the company or if you pay an extra employee, those are tax deductible expenses. If you take home $250,000.00 then you will pay a little more income tax on it than say someone trying to live on $25,000.00 but if they tax...

the_vicar The protester is an idiot who should be arrested. Free speech does not mean you can go around threatening people. As far as Obama's "friendship" with Ayers, that was a long time ago. Ayers isn't in jail now, Obama wasn't aware of his past. If you want to get...

the_vicar All extremist are dangerous. It doesn't matter what religion they claim, what matters is the message and it should be a message of peace and forgiveness and plenty of religions have advocated that. If they missed that message, then they missed the point.
