You know it's the hottest issue out there right now. The government loves illegals, secretly, but they put up a front that they would rather protect the borders. You can't have it both ways. What do you think? Do you approve of illegal aliens being here?

Liberals and non-partisan citizens express outrage at the Bush administration lying, starting unnecessary wars, abrogating civil rights, breaking treaties and acting like a rogue state. Conservatives, especially Republicans, then accuse them of hating America.

It seems to me that defending the principles America was founded on from those who have gained high office in the country is a better expression of love for the country than blind obedience.

from my husband and I. We recently went thru the courts to get the property back from last renters who would not pay. We have some repairs to do that will take at least 3-4 weeks, due to our schedules. Anyway, he and his girlfriend really want to rent the house, and ask about it all the time. My co-worker is black and his girlfriend is white. I don't care. He asked me if the small town this house is located in was prejudiced. I said I didn't think so. Since then, I have found out that there are several idiots in this town that hate blacks and have been known to make asses of themselves. What should I say to my co-worker? I don't want to mislead him, and I don't want him to have problems.

Welfare is there for ANY American who may lose his or her job, or become injured/incapacitated for any reason. The war In Iraq is now supposedly about freeing IRAQIS of Saddam and "spreading democracy." This is of NO BENEFIT to the American people! Are you saving on gas now that American oil companies are controlling the oil there, or are you paying MORE THAN EVER (by controlling the oil, you can restrict its distribution and cause the value and price to rise)? Are the persky terrorists all killed, or are there more terrorists then ever and angry Iraqis killing American "invaders?"

Sorry but I do NOT want to pay a single penny to fund a cause that is not benefiting the average American, but rather benefits private enterprise and supposedly the Iraqi people.

Israel has given us another ridiculous example of their 'special' status' in the order of things. When any other nation's soldiers are 'captured' by the enemy, we say they are 'prisoners of war'.
But Israeli soldiers are 'kidnapped'. Can anybody please explain the difference? ?The Chosen People' get 'kidnapped' and the rest of us are 'prisoners of war'????????

I'm not entirely sure what this section is for, so I'll continue with my "question"...
I'm just curious as to why people are so afraid of it? What harm will it do to them? Why do they think that if a gay couple gets married that everyone else will become gay as well? Doesn't EVERYONE have the right to be happy? What do you think about the law being passed to ban Gay Marriage?

From what I understand scientists create an embryo, which is later destroyed in order to find cures for parkinson and Alzheimers. But I dont think I would want to live longer, so that something that is created would be destroyed. Also would this treatment be only available to the rich?

is to let them come into the UK? Are we just going to let every person who wishes to come into this country? I realise they are usually escaping a war torn country, but is the solution to let everyone in? The UK has also had conflict but we've managed to overcome it. And do you think that Pakistani's and Indians add anything to this country? How many corner shops do we need? And I find teenage Pakistani's to be generally pains in the ***'s (innit?) It's good to be nice and all that but I think we're being taken for a ride. My grandfather fought in the second world war, but was second priority to asylum seekers when he needed help from the social services. I also think that there is a social straightjacket called political correctness that gets ever-tighter. What are your thoughts on this?

In the divisive world of American politics everyone seems to be pegged as either conservative or liberal.
As a European (Irish to be precise) I'd dearly love to hear an American's view on my political beliefs.

I am an atheist, in fact I despise religious beliefs or any other kind of superstition or spirituality. I am pro choice - even pro abortion in some cases. I am very supportive of gun control. I think American foreign policy leaves a lot to be desired. I think homosexuals should be allowed to marry.
However,
I also think capitalism one of mankinds greatest creations. I believe fervently in globalization and that it lifts the lives of many out of poverty. I think socialism is flawed and outdated. I don't favour high minimum wage. I dislike high taxes and protectionist trade policies. I favour tough sentencing for both blue-collar and white-collar crime. I despise labour unions.

How would I fit in in an American society where I must be either liberal or conservative?

After Clinton departure and the begining of Bush government era it has been observed that the world peace has been ruined.

Bush government organized master plan of 9/11 to enter Afghanistan and catch OSAMA. Why OSAMA is still alive? MISSION INCOMPLETE. Attacked Iraq in the name of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Nothing found, no peace could be given to Iraqi nation. Now Iraq is worse than SADDAM time. MISSION INCOMPLETE.
Iran is threatened despite Iran has done nothing against international laws. Simple American government Terrorism.
Now Israel is attacking innocent Civilians in Lebanon and Palestine why USA goverment Veto and does not stop Israel? Terrorist supporting Terrorist.

Threating Iran and N.Korea for their Nuclear power but giving full Nuclear Know-How to India another act of Terrorism to destroy the peace in this region.

Make sure, I am talking about USA govt. and not American Nation.
American Nation is innocent and manupulated by New Neocons.

What is the deal with "the Congressional Black Caucus" ? How racist is this ? The black Americans would be jumping up and down if there was a Congressional White Caucus. So why do we have a Black one ?? I think that the racist card by them is over played and has gone over the edge. What do you think ??

The Coast Guard fixes 2 types of fixed wing aircraft: C-130 & HU-25 Falcon.

I know they don't have fighter jets, but if i had the chance to fix those fighter jets, do you think i'll be able to fix them from the training the CG gave me?

I guess what i'm saying is if i know how to fix C-130's & HU-25 Falcon's which are both fixed wing, will i be able to work on other types of Aircraft when i get out the Coast Guard?

Since I and other anti-illegal folks here keep getting called racist, let me clarify for all you name callers.

I am 34 years old, I have blond hair and green eyes. My heritage is irish and american indian. I have dated two black men over the years, one mexican man and one of my closest friends is a young lady who is half black, half caucasion. I speak spanish fluently, cook great mexican food, and I can dance to mexican music. I learned to speak spanish from the mexicans in El Centro that lived in Mexico and worked in the restraunt with me, they had work visas and came across the border every day legally. I have a great working relationship with the Asian guy in our office, I think he is Cambodian, but he is adopted and not too sure of his nationality.

On the other hand, I want all illegal aliens deported TODAY! Yeah, go ahead, call me racist, when you do I would like to know exactly what race it is that I am racist against. Am I a racist? Against who?
