  • Why doesn't America learn from mistakes of the world?

    Argentina was once in contention for economic superiority, until they elected a leader who advocated fundamental change, their economy went down hill with social programs, they are now considered a third world country. Are we headed down the same road?

  • Why did Americans excel during the Industrial Revolution, when?

    the people from other countries within Central & South America and Africa did not develop as quickly even though they are older civilizations. With that in mind why is it right that our government and other liberal governments want to redistribute money from all that Americans have achieved?

  • Have you heard of Recovery.Gov?

    Recovery .Gov is the administrations web-site, the Administration has built to track recovery projects. It just cost we taxpayers $18 million to update it, (with a lot of erroneous information) The OMB could have up dated it for $600,000.00. That does not even count the original cost for even building the internet site. It should not matter what political party you belong to, it should make you angry that are taxpayer dollars are being wasted in such a way. On the record, interviewed a Senator from Florida tonight, who has filed a taxpayer waste report. What are your thoughts?

  • Isn't it interesting Khalid Sheik Mohamad's trial is in?

    New York instead of being held in Washington D.C.? Washington D.C. was just as much a target as New York. If the plane had not gone down in PA, the next target was the Capitol after already hitting the Pentagon. Since the Obama Administration, wants to prove to the world how politically correct his administration is, why not hold the trial in the seat of our government?

    There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.

    Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press has to publish this because the USA media is too scared they might be considered racist. Sorry America!

  • A Commercial DOG TREAT KILLED My Dog,?

    Although I have not had a necropsy preformed on the dog, I know it was the one with (parsley and eucalyptus) that caused it. My husband and I left the house and while gone the dog ate at least 3/4 of the bag, I found it empty on the floor, this was around 10 p.m. At approximately 3 a.m.she went outside, I did not know her dog door was closed, at 8.a.m we found her dead, she had regurgitated, and it was on her mouth. This was only 2 days ago.

    Later I found the food should only be given to adult dogs (she was 9) which means it is not good for developing systems. It also states no more than 5 a day should be given, I did not know that but I was only given her 1/2 to 1 a day anyway. But dogs get into things, she had eaten lots of chocolate before and other things she should not but none of it killed her ( she liked to get into things) she had even eaten other dog treats before.

    Earlier that same day I stopped my 31 month old granddaughter from eating them, can you imagine, if they should not be given to developing systems, what could have happened to her, if she had eaten any amount of them?

    Here are a few web sites that show the danger of eucalyptus to animals.

    http://www.enotalone.com/article/9284.htmlp and http://www.peacehealth.org/kbase/cam/hn-2086009.ht...

    The question, has anyone else had any problems with that product, (it's suppose to bust the breath of bad odor)?
