    Hollywood celeberties are smarter/better than everybody else

    Another step closer to a good missile defense system

    http://www.mda.mil/mdalink/pdf/06news0020.pdf This is something we should do. If we withdraw all military forces around the world immediately, the rogue leaders will still attack as soon as they have the capability. They want the US, Israel, and the western culture destroyed, end of story...

    Take this political test

    http://madrabbit.net/webrabbit/quizshow.html It is a straight up test. Not a slanted liberal test that asks things like "should you be allowed to pollute if you make money?" I scored 36.

    4.5-20 billion years old?

    Radio-dating in Rubble by Keith Swenson In August of 1993, with geologist Dr Steven Austin and others from the Institute for Creation Research, I climbed into the crater of Mount St Helens to view the lava dome. It was one of those experiences that was well worth every exhausting moment...

    This is how tax cuts really work

    First a few qualifiers. Politically knowledable people already know. Even those that say things like "making rich pay their fair share" or " rich are getting the biggest tax cut". It is horseshit and liberals know it. But here is a really good example with a real world situation. I found it...
