Politics & Government - 20 October 2006

I haven't watched the movie, but I have Watched Al Gore conduct his life, buisness, and politics. Not that I am republican or anything, I strictly believe that Global Warming is super Wacko! I also believe that 60% of Americans are gullible and would believe anything that they are told. And the movie caused a-lot of awareness to a Wacko cause that shouldn't be there in the first place. We should be using our resources for medicine. Now that you have my opinion, ignore it and answer the question truthfully.

In Oklahoma, can you get your driver's license when you turn 16, or after you've had your permit for 6 months? I got my permit a month after I was 15 1/2, and now I'm 16; do I have to wait another month?

More than 50 million Medicaid recipients will soon have to produce birth certificates, passports or other documents to prove that they are United States citizens, and everyone who applies for coverage after June 30 will have to show similar documents under a new federal law.
The requirement is meant to stop the "theft of Medicaid benefits by illegal aliens," in the words of Representative Charlie Norwood, Republican of Georgia, a principal author of the provision, which was signed into law by President Bush on Feb. 8.
In enforcing the new requirement, federal and state officials must take account of passions stirred by weeks of national debate over immigration policy. State officials worry that many blacks, American Indians and other poor people will be unable to come up with the documents needed to prove citizens

The Patroit Act, is it still law in the US I heard somewhere it didn't get renewed when brought up for it, but it did get a extension by The President. I'm not American and don't know about this, and probably shouldn't care but I do.

If you don't like read don't answer it's so long.A radio station in Houston has posted on its website two video clips of a Texas elementary school "diversity" assembly where a volunteer leads students in saying a pledge of allegiance to the Mexican flag.
Station KTRH has posted both a video clip showing elementary students cheering and waving Mexican flags, and a separate clip showing people the school described as volunteers leading students in the pledge in Spanish.
The story by Scott Braddock of KTRH notes that "whether students also recited the Mexican pledge remains a point of contention," however the audio clearly indicates that students are reciting the pledge along with the volunteer leader, because their voices can be heard finishing the final phrase well after the volunteer has finished.
As WND reported at the time, the event outraged parents and the principal at Velasco Elementary School said it was a "diversity" effort, but he would not do it again.
KTRH, which broke the story when the assembly was held a month ago, said it obtained the video from the school district under Texas open records laws.
On that station a month ago, callers were outraged.
"We absolutely refuse to stand up and pledge allegiance to another country's flag," a mother whose daughter attends the school told talk show host Chris Baker on AM 740 radio. "Where is the sensitivity to the country and to the troops and the men and women that have fought and died for this country?"
Several parents also told KTRH News students were joining in the pledge, but district officials said they did not.
District officials said the assembly was meant to teach children about Mexican Independence Day, which is celebrated on Sept. 16 to mark the day Mexico gained independence from Spain.
Longtime Velasco Principal Sam Williams said in hindsight he should have done things differently and apologized to those who were offended.
"As stated previously, and again verified with the campus administration this morning (Tuesday), the students did not say the Mexican pledge," school spokesman Stuart Dornburg told KTRH.
Those who watch the video will be able to judge for themselves.
A parent of a third-grader who wished to remain anonymous told the station that he was at the assembly and students were saying the pledge.
"I was telling them you don’t have to stand for the pledge of allegiance to the Mexican flag," he told the station.
"That's treason … you're not supposed to say the pledge of allegiance to any flag other than the American and Texas flags," the father said. "It broke my heart to see the kids doing that."
The earlier exchange between Baker, the talk show host, and a mother who identified herself as Amy reported school officials handed out Mexican flags and then the "volunteer" led the pledge.
Dornburg noted that Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month and the assembly at the Clute school was planned by the Brazosport Independent School District as part of its cultural education and to show that the district values and respects diversity.
But Amy said she got "glares" when she didn't participate and when she "proudly" put the Mexican flag on the ground.
She said her husband was in Vietnam for three tours of duty, and she has a son in the war now.
In a report in The Facts, Williams said the response to his action was "overwhelming."
"It's been a real trying ordeal and all I can say is I deeply apologize if anyone was offended by it – and I can see that they are," the principal said
Officials say there are 635 students from preschool age to fourth grade in Velasco, and about two-thirds are Hispanic.
Baker said the recitation was especially offensive since the U.S. is in the middle of a serious dispute over illegal immigration and the huge ramifications the nation faces from not having a secured border with Mexico.
"To blow it off as quote-unquote 'historical teaching methods' either shows complete arrogance or a lack of the ability to grasp the seriousness of the illegal immigration issue to Americans," told his listeners.
On a weblog, a fan identified as El Jefe Maximo said, "What's needed is a dose of nationalism, with a pinch of religion, and I'd throw in a dash of evil old imperialism as well."

My Insurance carrier has assigned a lawyer and he is not concerned but, being that this is my first lawsiut, I wonder that if I lose, can they go after me personally or only after the company which is a sub "S" corp.?
I would hate to lose everything I have worked for all of my life to a bunch of money hungry moorons that sue everyone they come in contact with.

When the Reps reclaimed Congress- the ensuing panic of the Clinton admin transformed your party into a ‘win at all costs’ corrupt facist assemblage. By the end of 1998-your party was no longer recognizable. Lieberman and Moynihan spoke words of outrage during Clinton’s impeachment but in the end, they defended party over principle. Everyone knows it. History will show it. They let one man's behavior compromise the integrity of your party. We were told that lying under oath didn't "rise to the level of an impeachable offense." Where were the questions, "Have you no shame, sir?" Or "Ask not what your country can do for you..” or "Judged not by the color of skin but by the content of character. ..." These were words that once inspired the Democratic party. Why do you cowardly accept their Socialist tactics? Real Democrats who stand by and watch are as guilty as the actual leaders of this corruption. Lieberman seems to have come to his senses --Are there no other moderates left?
