Politics & Government - 12 September 2006

I went online and read about the activities of the state's congress and was suprised at how much is done on a daily basis. I was also suprised to see a couple of items in the newpaper later that day. We would all be much better informed if we actually paid attention to bills introduced by our political leaders.

I don't really hear anything about The Royal family making decisions like they used to, It's all about Tony Blair. He's likt the President right? If they no longer hold power . . . what do they do?

Clinton lied about a *******. Bush lied about causus belli (reason for going to war).

John Q. Adams was basically run out of office for the "Alien & Sedition Acts" which were the forerunner of today's Patriot Act.

Whitewater was investigated by a Republican hit squad who never came up with anything. Why has no one investigated the Cheney-linked Halliburton no-bid contracts in Iraq?

Use of torture, officially condoned, contravenes the Geneva Convention.

When the Democrats gain control of the House and Senate in November, should they impeach Bush?

ABC tinkers with 9/11 TV drama assailed by Clinton

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Under pressure from former President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party, ABC scrambled on Friday to make 11th-hour changes to a miniseries suggesting he was inattentive to the Islamic militant threat that led to the September 11 attacks.


Several sense from the TV docudrama that show President Clinton having a chance to get Osama but was distracted by his Monica Lewnski case. He has censored TV shows before such as an SNL skit about his daughter Chelsea. Is this Liberal slant of the Media Censorship?

There are other illegal immigrants than Mexicans. Just because they're more in the public eye doesn't mean there aren't more such as Germans, Russians, greeks, Yugoslavians, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, japanese, etc.

The kid got caught with cigarettes at school, definitely against the law (Riverside cnty CA) we know, we know.... the drug him into the office to call me and suspend him and the officer at the school asked him if he was popular, then said that he heard my son smoked pot alot and that he had been selling it. The officer asked if he were to search the kids room would he find any parphenilia or pornography???
Officer asked the kid if he should call me and my boy told him to go ahead. He didn't. The principal called me to tell me of the suspension and that was it.
Is it legal for him to have questioned him with these sorts of accusations?
Now if you knew us you would understand how farfetched this train of questioning really is. This kids parents have lived life and he is not clueless and neither are we, you know the old saying "you can't kid a kidder". We've not raised a little pothead and he certainly is no angel, but this sort of disrespect is totally uncalled for.

I personally want to thank the people of Rhode Island for keeping a far right challenger from taking Chafee’s place this fall. We need all the Moderates in this country we can get, both Republican and Democrat.

The majority of Americans are neither far right or far left. Let’s hope Chafee’s primary win sets a national trend that will purge our government of the extremes from both sides.

You agree?

My position description says I work under general supervision; however, I may go two or three weeks without seeing my supervisor. I am never given direction and when I ask a question it is usually ignored. He often bypasses me in giving my people work and allows them to go directly to him then holds me accountable for their errors. He does not allow me to do the work detailed in my PD but writes me down in my evaluations for not meeting standards. My PD states I coordinate with other local, state and federal agencies but I am not allowed to do so and I get written up for failing to communicate. He has directed me to lie and instructed me on how to do so. He has made work miserable; he does not allow me to do my job, has told me I am not to talk to Human Resources and agencies my PD directs me to do so; basically making work impossible to the point that my performance is severally hampered. I almost hate to go to work, and I always fear I am going to be fired .

There are many, many countries that are not safe.
There are several countries that are safe, but not free.
There are almost no countries that are free*.

Can anyone tell me why people should try to sacrifice the freedom in this country for safety? Why shouldn't these security-lovers just move to any of the dozens and dozens of places in the world where security reigns?
Where will freedom lovers go if the security-lovers have their way HERE?

*(Notice how these FEW free countries tend to be pretty safe, too, because people know that each individual takes charge of his own safety?
That's why Japan didn't invade the U.S. on the ground during WWII, because every citizen is SUPPOSED TO BE free to arm himself! Invaders and terrorists and thugs, they don't mess around with populi in armis!)
