Politics & Government - 24 August 2006

You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

I am asking because I worked for the Government and they seem to think the Civil Rights are not important in todays age. I know because I tried to put a stop to what was happening at work and I got wrongfully terminated?

Yes Illegal Immigrants take jobs that the American citizen wants!

Ok I will post in sequence order of events...

1) Struggling good friend finally got job, didn't wanna put $400+ down for a cell phone because of no credit, so I got it in my name. (yeah, I know, mistake #1)

2) One night we are hanging out, I ask him to drive home, he hits a deer, I only have state (MS) minimum required (liability) insurance, no police report was filed, he offered to pay $500, $100 a week for five weeks until, I didn't agree or disagree because I knew the damages were gonna be well over that. So I kept quiet.

3) I finished the drive home, he was very apologetic that night. Didn't hear from him in a while after that night, figured he would contact me in a few weeks because his phone bill was due, that didn't happen.

4) I have proof he caused the car wreck by a recorded conversation, he has no proof he ever gave me any money for the phone bill for months ;-)

Small claims in MS max only $2,500. Need next better option because I'm looking at well over $3,500

Nazi's did the exact same thing during WW2.
No matter what problem the government is having...blame the Jew.
Trouble with the economy...its the Jews.
Trouble with transportation... its the jews...

I think the current Neocon administration is using ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION as a SCAPEGOAT so people can blame all of America's social problems on illegals.

Illegal Immigration isn't new... Its been going on since forever. Chinese sneaking in...Cubans, floating in, etc. This was a mild -lukewarm subject during the early80's- the 90's.

I believe the reason why nobody noticed it or cared about it during BUSH1 - Clinton's administration is because we weren't having the financial problems and budget problems we are having now.
Bush is spending 8 times more than the rest of the world in national defense - basically a slush fund for Haliburton and Lockheed Martin. Bush is cutting Pell grants, medicine costs are skyrocketing, fuel costs are skyrocketing and the cost of living overall too.

Welfare - we give people just enough to survive but not enough to do anything with like get off welfare tax payer gets the bill and the government rests assured there will be no French revelution styled upriseing of the starving peasants.
The gas at the pump is tax to a level that is sick. It's what 72-74 a barrel and did you ever once aske how many gallons to a barrel? 42 Do the math $1.76 per gallon the rest is profit and tax - its about 10 cents per to refine so add that in too.

Follow the money they are ripping us all off royally

We spend close to $350 billion on defence and another 34 Billion on Homeland Security plus another 30 Billion on our intelligence services. Should we not talk to these poor muslim countries and find out what their problem is so we do not have to spend all this money and use it instead to help poor Americans at home.

I think big business wants us to be constantly at war because they make money no matter what is being sold. Why should we be responsible for world peace. Why are we spending all this money and still the world hates us. I don't think kicking asss is the awnser. We should use diplomacy and save ourselves a lot of money. If somebody wants to fight let them. We should focus on enjoying God's blessings to America.
