Politics & Government - 3 August 2006

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn - I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime - never the less
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel

"The president has adopted a policy of "anticipatory self defense" that is alarmingly similar to the policy that imperial Japan employed at Pearl Harbor(later called a war crime), on a date, as an earlier American president said it would, lives in infamy. Franklin D. Roosevelt was right, but today it is we Americans who live in infamy.'

They're always complaining about how there's not enough money to handle a situation. How come they can't just make more money so they won't have to worry about their budget?

I read it costs like 50 grand a year to keep one person in jail/prison. What's up with that? Catered meals, chauffeur service, in-home healthcare, free schooling, what's next, maids/secretaries?

Its African American to some, and black to others?
I say it should be black or white. What do you think?

Im not be racist, but im sure some black man/woman will say it is instead of handling like an adult, and will just sound dumb, so go ahead and say the truth

A guy (who is a doctor) that we know offered to let us keep our $45,000 boat on his 6 acre property for 4 weeks while we moved. We took the key with us on purpose, and said no one was to drive the boat (it's too fast and someone would get hurt if they didn't know what they were doing). One weekend after we dropped it off, the owner of the home, and his friend hotwired the boat ran it aground and caused 20K worth of damage. They managed to put 20 hours on the boat. They two men are fighting amungst themselves saying the other one was the one that hotwired the boat. What could they be charged with? Would this constitute Grand Theft in the Frist Degree? How about Larceny? Does the fact that we were keeping it on their property make any difference since we took the key, and the fact that they hotwired it shows ill-intent?The men admit to hotwiring it, they are just pointing at each other as the one that did it

Condi aside, I wonder how many black Repubes are out there. Not as many as white Dems, I'm sure.

President Clinton created a government agency to search for bin Laden before he left office. Just a couple of months ago President Bush closed up shop and told everyone to quit looking. Who's this guy (Bush) working for, bin Laden or America?

According to reports surfacing in the mainstream media, some people want to question the veracity of the HOLOCAUST that 'israel' is conducting against the Lebanese and Palestinian people. It has become painfully clear that 'holocaust' and 'Semite' are words confined to interpretation by zionists and their representatives. But who wants to listen to people that perpetrate death, destruction, and oppression? Not to mention racism, hate, and perpetual lies.
The British web site flinging the accusation suggests that these events were staged for effect, a criticism echoed by talk show host Rush Limbaugh when he directed listeners to the blog on Monday.
