Politics & Government - 11 September 2006

I remembered out of nowhere an article in a childrens news magazine I read when I was younger about how the president only made about $100,000, it might've been $400,000 but it was somewhere in that range but next to him they had Michael Jordan and he made more than the President supposedly did. I always found it odd that a sports star could've made more than out President. Was that a correct . . estimate by this magazine?

I asked this question yesterday and signed it "concerned mom". I got many helpful answers but also a few like the one from GodBlessAmerica who called me a "coward". My son is currently at AF BMT and will proudly do his duty. I am simply a worried mom who is trying to get information so I can have realistic expectations. I didn't expect such criticism.

How often do you see liberals on here saying something like, "I saw a documentary, and now I hate our government and Bush"?

Why do most of you libs think everything you see or here from some anti-bush group is the truth without researching it yourself?

And no, logging on to moveon.org is not researching.

"THE NEW MIDDLE EAST" has not been constructed.........'YET' ..
.........Bush said :there will be a new middle east after the war of
Israel with Lebanon.....before he said:the war on the middle east is a crussader war..... some -idiot- one said "crusader doesn't mean the relegious word" .....so what does it mean mr idiot.....the meaning of crsuader war is the war in the middle east to dominate it.....and that's exactly happening.......

I'm so tired of people complaining that their civil rights might be violated while trying to protect us and yet they are the same people who claim Pres. Bush knew about 9/11 before it occurred.

Would you rather be dead or dying from painful diseases and burns or see your children suffer these consequences and never know what true freedom was all about or have your government resource to violating civil rights of subversives?

Do you want to be taxed further while we tie up our courts, pay astronomical attorney fees to give terrorists the rights our forefathers have fought and died for?

Dear God, Americans must start to think outside of the block and consider the consequences and human cost to their families by their unthinking reasoning.

We will surely lose ALL our civil rights and freedom if we do not win this war against terrorism.

Who have you heard that had a better solution to our problem?

This is very serious, not to be taken lightly.

I am in the top tax bracket. Why? Because I was responsible for my actions. I worked hard and didn't spent money I didn't have. My tax dollars pay for the people that can not seem to grasp that. If somebody can not be responsible for their actions, and ergo make less money, why should I have to pay for them? Should we mandate responsibility? Or should we reward those who refuse to accept it?

I've seen films (IN Plane Sight) and another one I can't recall the title of, I've read books (the best is The 9-11 Commission: Ommisions and Distortions), and I have seen upteen websites. I have no doubt we've all been fed lies and more lies. On the site below, both Charlie Sheen and Ed Asner know the truth too. It sickens me what this government has done!

There is a bi election in my riding - mid way through someone's term they quit so a vacancy exists and it has to be filled

The Liberal government wants my vote yet again .

The Province banned smoking in bars and indoor public places. The business fought them the people fought them They went ahead anyway claiming they were elected on the platform. They were elected but that plank of the platform was buried in the back of thier red book - no one wanted ths except a small group of lobists .

Now I want to vote in the bi election not for the liberals but for anyone who will fight for this anti democratic move of the governments - Not one of the 4 parties looking for a seat will do it.

The public has just shrugged and said oh well it's a law now.

So Iam thinking of voteing for the Green party which won't win as my protest or the NDP that might win or maybe even the conservatives that don't stand a chance in hell - The race is between the NDP and the Liberals

I work at a VA Hospital and help veterans. Why is it that probably over 80% of the physicians/doctors that work in the VA's across the country are of mid-eastern descent? Many veterans won't come here for treatment because they were over seas fighting these people and now they are back home and have them caring for them as thier doctor. Why are there so many doctors that work in the VA's that are of mid-eastern culture?
