Politics & Government - 20 September 2006

Ok, all of you that continually claim we should be out of Iraq, draw back to our own borders, and stop bothering people in the Mid East in order to improve out own safety: Do you honestly think that is going to work?

Just what do you plan to offer the al Qaeda's and Irans of the world? What is you bargaining chip?

I ask this because I don't see how you negotiate with a group that has openly proclaimed their goal is the end of Western Civilization and complete destruction of the United States, specifically.

We (the US) did not provoke this opinion/goal. The Islamic facists don't even claim we did. They claim it is the order to "kill the infadels" and spread Islam at all costs to all corners of the world. Their recent statements regarding the pope indicate as much.

So what will you offer them to leave you alone?

What do you think?
Action on the fence comes four months after the Senate approved legislation that, along with tightening border security, created a guest worker program and outlined how people in the country illegally could work toward legal status and eventual citizenship.
President Bush, in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, said he would sign a fencebuilding bill as part of efforts to strengthen the border. "I don't view this as the final product. And I will keep urging people to have a comprehensive reform."

I ask this because every question I ask that shows the inadequacy and downright incompetence of this administration results in accusations of Terrorism, being called a foreigner, accused of having a direct line to Osama B L, called a Bush Hater, anti-American and worse.

This is not a partisan question, but all the insults seem to come from Conservative supporters. I just need an answer.

Can't someone be a proud American but still point out the error of our ways?

I was about to post about this when I saw another guy already post - so my apologies for posting a redundant question but i'd like to extend the point some

Common arguments with liberals that go on for 30 mins or so end up past 9/11, past Iraq, bush, kerry, suicide bombings -

they all end up with the final point: Is there such a thing as Mid-East moderates?

Liberals often claim majority of muslims do not support terrorism.
Where are these people?
Where are these people when the Pope says 'insensitive comments' and nuns die and churches burn?
all I see are muslims out in the streets saying Jesus is the slave of allah and the west will perish.

Where are they?
"They're afraid of getting their heads chopped off"
Oh well, that's OK, we'll just get ours chopped off - no.

If they silently tolerate it, they support it, and if they support it, it's a war is it not?

Prove me wrong. Show me these muslims that want to fight terrorists. you'll find ten or twenty.

we have been told that the person that is doing the licensing of the EMT's and Paramedics has a rule, not a law, that EMT's and Paramedics can not draw blood at the scene of an accident for the purpose of a blood alchol or drugs. Therefore if you have to take them to a trauma center or hospital that is in another state, the bloood test drawn at the hospital is inadmissable in a court of law. can some one please tell us if this is true, and how i can find out who is the highest ranking person in ms, over the licensing board to get these rules changed. My brother was recently killed in MS, we were told for alomost 3 months that we had to wait for the blood test to come back and when it did, the grand jury wouldn't except it because it was drawn at the trauma center that is in the next state, even though the accident occured about 5 miles from the state line and is the closest trauma center around, so the man may get off with killing my brother when he had something in his system,

Okay...before you blow you top with me...let me give you my view point.

Children YES, no question. I WEAR my seat-belt, I always have..it's a smart thing that may save my life and I believe everyone should.

but, should it be FORCED on us by our government with the threat they will extract $100-$300 everytime they "catch" us violating one of their "Protect me from myself laws". Speaking as an adult shouldn't I have the simple right not to put on my seat-belt...it's a simple choice that belongs to ME...not government bureacrats who don't give a damn about us. These safety laws a designed to make them $$$ and that is the simple fact..a hidden tax. In my state alone they rasied 136 million in fines and the accident rate and mortality rate is unchanged for the past 9 years. What has changed is millions in THEIR pockets...and with a sheep-like mentality they believe this is somehow savings lives..SEAT-BELT do save lives but it should be our choice..laws don't save lives..choices do!

too bad the NeoCons aren't finally able to be "man enough" to admit all the lying going on. They would rather join Tom Delay and Duke Cunnigham in Club Fed.
Don't forget, Clinton's lie was excused and the official word was it was a case "without merit".

Time to wake up from the fantasy world of pathetic, weak right wing spin.

What does Calderon want from us?

Well, among other things: a "migratory accord"—giving Mexico veto power over U.S. immigration policy.

An immigration accord was a goal of Mexican President Vicente Fox, whose term is almost over. Fox didn’t actually achieve the accord but he was able to accomplish a lot through meddling in U.S. immigration policy, while he should have been concentrating on other things, like improving Mexico’s economy.

So with the passing of the baton to Calderon, the game goes on.

On September 7th, Calderon told foreign correspondents that an immigration accord with the U.S. is one of his top priorities. His strategy is to persuade members of the U.S. Congress that an immigration accord would be in the interests of both the U.S. and Mexico. Calderon’s goal is to achieve such an accord before the end of the Bush administration, that is, by January 20th, 2009. [El Siglo de Torreon, Luchará Calderón por acuerdo migratorio con Bush , September. 7th, 2006]

Calderon believes that the Bush Administration is ready to help, and he’s surely right on that score. On immigration, Bush and Calderon are in agreement already.

"We will work intensely over the next two years to arrive at a concrete agreement." declared Mexico’s president-elect to foreign reporters.
