  10. Here we go....

    Exxxactly! Sadaam tortured & killed his people just the same as Gaddafi has... Yet all the liberals (i.e Dixie Chicks, Penn, Clooney & all their mindless minions) skewered Bush for gettin' us involved over there, & BoBo campaigned on a platform of bringing our soldiers home

    I missed this thread...sorry I'm late to the party.

    You'll have to explain the equivalence here? Bush took us into war with Iraq under false pretenses with a pre-emptive strike, and we're in Afghanistan because it was the appropriate target for the "War on Terror". The merits of fighting an ideological war is for another thread. The "War on Terror" appears just slightly more successful than the "War on Drugs" :rolleyes: -- but I digress, for another thread.

    This Libyan thing, they asked for help -- and we obliged along with other countries. That's a completely different scenario.

    2 BIKES DOWN ON ROUTE 83

    Via: http://tmcnews.blogspot.com/2011/03/2-bikes-down-on-route-83.html

    TMCNEWS.NET%2B001.jpgEaton Township – Three people were taken to the hospital Friday night after a collision between two motorcycles on Route 83 in Eaton Township.

    TMCNEWS.NET%2B004.jpgTrooper Lance Deshuk of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said the two bikes were traveling northbound on Route 83 just north of Route 82 at the time of the crash. “The bikes were riding staggered and at some point the two bikes came in contact with each other sending them both to the ground. At this point we are getting conflicting stories from the three victims so we are not sure which bike went into the other.”

    Eaton Township Firefighters treated both drivers, 28 year old Thomas DeCrane of Fairview Park and 32 year old Micheal Cehelnik of Lakewood, and one rider at the scene and then transported all three to St. John West Shore Emergency Room with road rash and other non-life threatening injuries.

    Deshuk said that charges are pending the investigation.

    Another case of liberals making laws and the effects of irresponsible people on the rest of society. Your only revenge will come when she complains about the payment being late, you'll be able to say, "The State has your check, not me." I know, very little comfort.

    :wtf: If it's something you disagree with it's automatically a "liberal" policy? Do you even KNOW the history of child support laws? :rolleyes: I didn't realize we were turning this into a political debate? The OP didn't put it in that section...
