You wouldn't expect a police officer to trust a suspect who changes his story 4 times, why should I?

For the record, I'm a staunch conservative and I despise Bush.

Do people out there really think Bush is conservative? How so? He's expanding the power of the federal government, specifically his particular office, like no other president I know of. The Patriot Act alone grants so much power it's scary. His whole "moral" platform fell flat on its face as Bush hasn't done a single moral thing in his whole presidency.

It's just amazing to me how people will read the label, but never look to see what's inside.

If you are a conservative and like Bush, please do explain how you think he is conservative. I'd love to hear this...

I have been working at the same place for almost three years. They are currently starting a new attendance system that requires all employees to punch in/out with a card and then verify the punch with their fingerprint. Is this legal? If I decline to give my fingerprint and then get canned can I sue? I do not have any thing to hide, but I feel weird handing out my fingerprint with a chance that I could be falsly accused of something, even if that is a long shot.

Yes, we can all do our own research on Yahoo, Google and Wikipedia. BUT where this site excels is that you can get people who have specialized knowledge and/or are motivated to respond to present their case.

I'm not asking whether the Iraq war was justified or not. I'm not asking if Bush is a good president or not.

All I ask is to provide the best evidence - quote and link, preferably - where Bush or a member of his administration said Iraq was behind 9/11.

Thanks.

If our government were allowed to fund one, and only one, of the following social programs, which should it be and why?

(1) Free public education for all US citizens, starting at kindergarten up through Associates Degree (or comparable professional certification).
(2) Free health-care (medical and dental) for all US citizens for life.
(3) Food stamps that can only be used to buy food for children who are US citizens, but that would be enough to eliminate child hunger nationwide.
(4) Retirement pay (social security) for all US citizens who worked at least 20 years in the US, starting at age 65.
(5) Disability pay for all US citizens who are unable to work because of physical disability, injury or illness.
(6) None of the above. Give the money back to the taxpayers.

If the government could only fund one of these programs, which would you pick, and why.

Since 60 per month per 100,000 soldiers in Iraq
die from guns; and since 80.6 deaths per month
by guns in D.C. per 100,000 people - then are
20% more likely to be shot and killed in our U.S.
Capitol with their strict gunlaws than in Iraq?

...also known as the war on drugs, has turned much of Central and South America into violent hell holes controlled by gangsters. Why were Americans able to see that alcohol prohibition was responsible for an explosion in organized crime and the violence that comes with it, and so repealed prohibition, but can not see that the exact same outcome has happened with drug prohibition? Is keeping your neighbor from getting high in his living room really worth the cost of the lives destroyed and the chaos that results from such a futile and ill conceived assault on freedom?
