Rules Of Freedom Matters
In life there must be rules. We, the moderators, do not attempt to silence any voice unless that voice defies the rules of our group. Here are the simple rules of Freedom Matters I adopted from the rules of Eons.
1) Links must be provided to all articles posters wish other members to peruse. If a post is made that is only the cut and pasted text of an article written by others it will be deleted ….with no explanation given.
2) There will be no personal attacks (name calling) tolerated.
3) No e-mails may be posted in the group.
No one is more responsible for the productivity and direction of our group than you….the individual member. If you have questions about a deletion read the rules and figure out which rule (or rules) were broken. If you still can’t figure it out contact a moderator, via a PM, for a brief explanation.

2010?
Here's a point to ponder inspired by an old friend who recently waved good by to me through an email.~smile~
The Democrats are in power, for now. They have not acted like a party who control the white house, and both houses of congress. In fact the Republican party has been acting more like the party in control than the Democrats. If the Democrats don't cease the day with health care reform, I fear their tenure as the ruling body will be a short one.
What say you?

Fox News
Whatever your opinion is of Fox News, here is a poll from NPR that you can take as to whether you think Fox is right or the White House is right. Interesting results.

So I leave this group and the best you all can do is muster up a post that's 14 days old? At least I initiated some give and take.
Birthers Get a Lesson on the Constitution
Today a federal judge in California dismissed the birther's suit to have Obama declared ineligible to be president and removed, on the specious grounds he is not an American citizen.
In a 30-page ruling, the judge dismissed the suit on the dispositive grounds that, acording to the Constitution, only Congress can remove a sitting president

Who Says Developers Don't Have a Sense of Humor?
Ever notice how developers name their developments for whatever they destroyed to construct them?
"The Pines"
"Briggs Ranch"
"Serona River"
I wonder if they sit at bars and laugh about it over drinks.

i have been thinking @ this
I just finished reading “the Dark Side, Thomas Jefferson & Civil liberties.
Learned a lot abut a founding father that always seemed to be a living paradox.
He was born from aristocracy yet wrote ands poke with Hatred toward the Aristocratic class while copying their life style. He did write that in America he wanted an aristocracy of people with the “attributes of Enlightenment, gentility and taste. Note: His dislike toward the traditional aristocratic class did not stop him from marrying into the wealthiest and most aristocratic family of Virginia, the Randolph’s. Then thought about pres G bush & compared him to what I learned about T. Jefferson.
Thomas Jeferson________________________________ __G.Bush
Belief: democracy: thought the world lead by……………….I would say similar.
America would respond to its democratic institutions
Jefferson was an Ideologue who responded through his underlings
viciously with non factual info, out right lies about the person or
event……………………………………………………………I would say similar
role of civil rights: Jefferson secondary issue, to
the accomplishment of a culture o :natural aristocratic values.
Bush similar in some ways civil rights secondary to the achievement of political ends.
Jefferson believed that the American Revolution would be the signal break their chains of ignorance said this I the midst of the reign of terror in France. “If Adam &Eve ere but left in every country free it would be better then it is now.”
After reading this it made sense to me if this thought was accepted by American political values it would be the source of this country’s messianic sense it is obligated to spread democracy throughout the world. Pres. Bush I believe continued this thought.
as i said i have been hinking aboutthis but cannot take the thought to a conclusion can anyone assist?

Obama's report card
After more than 250 days in office is this the change we can believe in?
Unemployment...at a 23 year high
Deficit....at an all time high
Iran...let's drop sanctions even though we threatened them.
Afghanistan...what is our plan? what is our exit strategy?
why after 250 days will it take another 3
weeks to decide on strategy?
Health Care Bill..who pays for it?
Cap and Trade...who pays for it?
GM.......closing saturn division, more jobs to be lost.
Chrysler..looking at bankruptcy after being bailed out.
Tax increases...you betyou..how else do pay for all this?
If you can all be honest, (except Charles) is this what you thought when you voted for him? That's a rhetorical question.
