Several Russian anti ballistic missiles have been
placed on the Belarus-Polish border.
The arrival of the missiles to the 115 air defense brigade have made
this unit twice as powerful as it was before. The nearness of the missiles to
the Polish border has given rise for concern since Poland’s troublesome eastern
neighbour,
Belarus,
has received a very modern and powerful defense tool.

Things you must believe to be a Republican today:
Jesus loves you, and shares your
hatred of homosexuals,
non-Christians and Hillary Clinton.
Saddam was a good guy when Reagan
armed him, a bad guy when Bush's
daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and
a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because
the country is Communist, but
trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international
harmony
and free trade.
The United States should get out
of the United Nations, and our
highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iran.
A woman can't be trusted with
decisions about her own body, but
multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all
mankind without interference or regulation of
product safety to the consumer.
The best way to improve military
morale is to praise the troops in
speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
If condoms are kept out of
schools, adolescents won't have sex.
A good way to fight terrorism is
to belittle our long-time allies,
then demand their cooperation and money.
Providing health care to all
Iraqis is sound policy, but providing
health care to all Americans is socialism.
HMOs and insurance companies have
the best interests of the public
at heart.
Global warming and tobacco's link
to cancer are junk science, but
creationism should be taught in schools.
Rebuilding Iraq is humanitarian
but rebuilding New Orleans and its
levee system is a stupid waste of taxpayer money.
Giving the super-rich tax breaks
is good for working people but
providing child care to a single mother so she can work is government
handouts.
A president lying about an
extramarital affair is a impeachable
offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which
thousands die issolid defense policy.
Government should limit itself to
the powers named in the
Constitution, which include banning gay marriages, eavesdropping on
citizens,
and censoring the Internet.
The public has a right to know
about Hillary's cattle trades, but
George & Laura Bush's driving record is none of our business.
Being a drug addict is a moral
failing and a crime, unless you're
a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our
prayers for your recovery.
You support states' rights, but the
Attorney General can tell
states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is
of vital national
interest, but what Bush did in the 1980s is completely irrelevant.
It's wrong to be a "tax-and-spend"
Democrat but OK to be a
"cut-taxes-and-spend-big" Republican.

The same rules that allowed independent "527" groups such as America Coming Together and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to pump more than $400 million into the 2004 election campaigns will remain in place for now, the Federal Election Commission announced yesterday, a decision that invites even larger sums to be spent influencing races this year and in 2008.

Gee, I didn't mean to plea -- I meant to give a gentle nudge.
There is only one thing I don't like performing on this website -- and that is asking for donations. But if I don't, people rarely donate. Since this is my full time job, donations keep me fed and AHNC on ALL the Internets.
Big hug to you and all the others that donated.
And one AHNC viewer is literally putting food on my family -- she is sending gourmet food samples from her company! How fabulous is that!
AHNC viewers are the bomb! Non-nuclear, of course.
How much is All Hat No Cattle worth to you? $1 a

Please donate to keep AHNC online.

An artist's impression released by the International Polar Foundation (IPF) shows the first polar station powered solely by renewable sources of energy, which will be built by Belgium in Antarctica, the IPF announced on May 31, 2006. The base will be constructed from November 2007 to March 2008 at a cost of 6.4 million euros ($8.2 million). It could also serve a dual purpose by housing future inmates, George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. Photo by www.detrois.com
