It all sounds good for the gangs and cons to go to war but it would be a guaranteed loss. A soldier does his job w/o needing to be placed on pedastool. or

A soldier is a special human who has(by a higher power)been created with a special recipe of DNA which enables them to be able to do what they do.

I am a mother of a Marine Reservist in CA. I proudly say "THANK YOU" TO EACH AND EVERY MILITARY SOLDIER. The way I see it is if they could decide to protect the entire U.S.

If you think it's easy to just pull a trigger then stand with our troops on the front line & show our country that you love this country as our troops are doing each and every single day. Be careful of what you do and say cause you are no better than the ones standing in front of our troops(fighters). We love our troops and God Bless all of them may he keep them safe and we pray he brings all of them home real soon!!! God Speed to all of our Armed Forces!!

You know, these soldiers are the real heroes of this country. Sadly, some people are against them defending us in Iraq. What I'd like to tell those people is: SO, YOU'D RATHER HAVE TERRORIST HANG OUT BEHIND YOUR HOUSE AND BLOW UP YOUR HOUSE, DOG, AND GENERALLY, EVERYTHING? YOU'D WANT ANOTHER 9/11? IS THAT WHAT YOU ANTI-U.S. SOLDIERS PEOPLE WANT? Well, what they should really do is put themselves in the shoes of a soldier. Yeah. God bless America and the American soldiers overseas.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
