If they didn't tout their high morals all the time and demonize the other side maybe they could weather these scandals better. What do you think?

preachers using hours of television time begging for money? I would rather sew a seed elswhere like with someone that needed money of that could put it to use. Many of times i will turn the tv on christian channel to hear something positive but its always all about money on alot of them. I couldnt imagine myself (stay at home mom) sending 20 dollars to a woman preacher that had a 150 dollar hair job, and all kinds of nice jewlery, lol that would be funny. I get more positive to listening to Dr.Phil these days. I dont go to chruch anymore i used to go all the time but i think alot of preachers are only preaching for the money. If i had money to give away i would give it to someone that needed it or to some preacher that i knew was helping the poor. And if i was a preacher and called to do a job for God i wouldnt be on national television asking people to send me money for hours and hours and hours, thats just flat out selfish. I would advise them to sew a seed in Africa or oak cliff....

Border law gets Bush's signature
President pushes for GOP during Phoenix-area stop
Arizona Daily Star
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.05.2006
advertisementBy Daniel Scarpinato
PARADISE VALLEY — President Bush signed federal legislation here Wednesday that he says will help "protect the American people," in part, by tightening security on the U.S.-Mexican border.
The bill appropriates money to the Department of Homeland Security in a number of areas, but Bush's Arizona signing was meant to highlight its most high-profile element: illegal immigration.
Bush signed the bill shortly after telling those at a $500-a-person fundraiser, "If you want to make sure those on the front line of protecting you have the tools necessary to do so, you vote Republican for the safety of the United States of America." The fundraiser for Republican Rep. Rick Renzi took in $450,000.
The president accused some Democrats of putting national security at risk by voting against bills that would allow secret eavesdropping on phone calls and tough measures to interrogate prisoners to try to detect terror plots.
Democrats said Bush was just trying to distract from his failed management of the war on terror with his comments.
The border-security legislation, approved last month, provides $1.2 billion to fund 700 miles of fencing and barriers along the border, plus money for jails to detain illegal entrants and hire 1,500 more border agents.
"This legislation will give us better tools to enforce our immigration laws and to secure our southern border," he said. "This bill's going to make this country safer to all of our citizens."
With immigration the top issue for voters in Southern Arizona and high on the radar for voters nationally, the bill comes as the November midterm elections draw near.
"I understand full well that illegal immigration puts pressure on the public schools and hospitals," he said. "It strains state and local budgets. In some communities it increases crime."
The president, with Phoenix-area mountains in the background, was flanked by Sen. Jon Kyl, an author of the bill; Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano; and Republican U.S. Reps. J.D. Hayworth, Trent Franks and Renzi.
Napolitano said the greatest benefit of the legislation is more federal funding, though she said it's unclear how much Arizona will receive.
"I think Congress is not done yet," she said. "They need to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and they can't just pass this bill and think their job is over. It's not. But it's a good start."
Bush and Napolitano both mentioned the need for a worker plan. Kyl said he would like to see that addressed in November or December.
But Kyl also stressed the importance of the fencing, which will be placed based on border traffic flow.
"it's not just fence . . ."
"It's not just fence, it's high-tech virtual techniques plus Border Patrol and roads so the Border Patrol can be where they need to be," said Kyl, who drafted key parts of the legislation, including a provision that criminalizes construction of a tunnel across an international border.
Of fencing, Napolitano said: "Fencing to me is something you use in conjunction with other things if it's really going to be effective," mentioning radar and lighting as key aspects.

Subsidized programs like Garib Rath by railways and righting off loans by finance ministry are extravagant measures taken by governments based on ruling-party’s / ruling alliance’s ethics and keeping the potential vote-banks in mind.

Tax payer’s hard earned money is spent, mercilessly, out of whims and fancies of small groups of politicians and vested interests.

Such programs should be permitted for materializing only after acceptance by both the houses of parliament and signature of the President of India.

MPs should bring resolution in the parliament to permit subsidies of total amount exceeding Rs. 1,00,000/- only in the annual budget. However lesser amount of subsidies be passed by both the houses.

Let us know what our website visitors think about it?

This country (USA) has the highest incarceration rate by far among free, developed countries. We routinely lock up people for trying to get high. We have a black market that supplies these people, funding crinimals who wind up fighting over turf and also terrorists and rouge nations. We have created a larger, more acceptable (to society) crinimal culture than we ever had... mostly because of our asinine rules regarding drugs. Their tactics in this unwinnable war include attacking our civil rights, notably the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 10th amendments. The ban on drugs in this country is 100% unconstitutional, and has had disastrous effects on this country.

Is there any hope of this, among other ways this country has gone wrong, can be changed in the near future?

An FYI for those who might attack me and call me a stupid druggie: the only illegal drug I've done is pot, and haven't touched it since college.
