Politics & Government - 21 September 2006

On Wednesday, September 20, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006 by a vote of 228-196. As the legislative session winds to a close, H.R. 4844 is another part of the House GOP national security strategy devised to show political support for securing the nation at its borders and now at the ballot box. H.R.4844 seeks to prevent fraud in the election process by requiring photo identification for voters in federal elections. All states will be mandated to check voters' photo identification by the November 2008 election. By November 2010, states will only be allowed to accept photo identification that was issued upon presenting proof of citizenship. Eligible voters who cannot pay for identification cards will be provided one by the state at no charge. Costs for such a mandate will be reimbursed by the federal government.

Those five are the main options--the two major parties and the two largest "third" parties, and the "I give up on our nation--voting won't change anything because it's all too late now" option of not voting at all.

Add remarks and/or imaginative cursing as you wish to help me decide how to award the 10 points.

Remember, this COULD BE one of the last national-impact elections America may ever hold, so express yourself freely--which also may one among the last opportunities remaining in your life to express yourself openly and publically without fear of the CIA and/or FBI coming to take you away for private interviews involving water torture and/or your premanent retention as a "person of interest". A caution here, however, is that THEY may be keeping lists of potentially unruly "citizens" for later rounding-up.

(I hope I'm not biasing the results here--at least I am not using an electronic voting machine with no validation printouts, for whatever THOSE are worth, you know.

There is currently at work in our nation a most dangerous killer. It consistently takes more lives than any disease, famine, or war we have ever faced.

Every month this killer takes more American lives than were lost in the entire Vietnam War. Every six months more die from its relentless onslaught than in all our previous wars combined or in all the fatal automobile accidents of the past twenty years. Every 2 to 3 years it claims more victims than the Nazi Holocaust.

Incredibly, this monumental devastation is carried out by medical professionals and is completely preventable. The name of this vicious serial killer is ABORTION.

Conventional WW2 bombs were primarily destroyers of property. People had air raid warnings and shelters so it was undoubtedly dangerous but it was possible to avoid being killed and it was even possible to move away from regularly bombed areas.

Nuclear bombs, on the other hand, totally eliminated all life and property within the blast area and then carried on killing and mutilating future generations of the survivors within the fallout area for decades afterwards. Nukes are therefore spefically indiscriminate life takers even more than they are destroyers of property.

With the soldiers away fighting and the cities primarily populated by women, chiildren and old people, would dropping these bombs have been seen as a war crime if it had not be done by the winning side?

Some pro-illegal immigrant activists were mad when the official 'Democratic Agenda' was released, with no mention of immigration. However the newly released "Hispanic Democratic Agenda" calls for BOTH legalization and temporary workers on the one hand AND the Dream Act to give grants and in state tuition to illegals on the other hand.

So tell me, if they plan to legalize all here, who is the Dream Act for? NEW illegals???? Oh, thank you so much for your dedication to solving the problem!

What do you think?

And what do you think about their having two different agendas, to begin with?

Definition of liberalism from Webster's Collegiate dictionary (10th edition):

A political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy [freedom] of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties.

--What is so unpatriotic and anti-American about the above definition that makes considering yourself to be a "liberal" based on this definition so wrong?

Here's the quote in full from the White House website.

"For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out.

"That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping."

Conservatives have kept this people the way they are for years. What we are trying to do there is to implement a liberal way for them. I bet once they become liberal then the conservatives of this country will be complaining because they are lefties.

The irony is just amazing.

if you simply want it over, say you just want it over.

if you could change a particular objective, state which one.

Can we come up with real suggestions to help us unite? In the 60's they got it right. There was a charmer(Martin) and a soldier(Malcolm). They didn't want to see a race war ,so they did everything to keep Martin happy so they wouldn't have to deal with Malcolm. Do you think there are too many people trying to lead?
