will we be the ones they will stick in the 800 concentration camps (also Halliburton just got a rush order for more camps at 300 million plus dollars-why do we need all these camps (see this here)

Isn't 800 enough?) A woman I met was brutalized for posting a sign about an upcoming anti-Bush rally and got three months in jail. http://worldcantwait.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=842&Itemid=184
She was a cancer patient in her 50's and was beaten by 4 policeman. A friend was recently harassed and intimidated protesting peaceably with a sign ..see the scenario here

In Georgia, with the fastest growing illegal immigrant population, "The number more than doubled from an estimated 220,000 in 2000 to 470,000 last year."

The state passed 'crack down laws.' Now, "A civil rights group sued the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency Wednesday, claiming its agents had harassed five U.S. citizens of Mexican descent during raids targeting illegal immigrants in southeast Georgia.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Southern Poverty Law Center said the agents were engaging in a "Gestapo-like" campaign to drive Latinos out of the area. It claimed the agents entered houses without warrants, stopped cars on the street, terrified Latinos and vandalized their property."

If true, it would be horrible. But given our government's long history of having to be forced to enforce immigration laws at all, do we believe the plaintiffs or ICE which says the accusations are ""patently false?"

For the sake of conversation, assume there is only two party's - Dem & Rep. I know there are others, but just go with me here.

Would you support a tax that went directly to the Dem & Rep campaign fund and was split 50/50, and that's all the money they get?

Just so you know...

Last week, Mr. Rangel, the 36-year House veteran from New York City who will chair the Ways and Means Committee if Democrats win a majority, was asked by Congress Daily whether he'd consider tax increases across the income spectrum. ‘No question about it,’ he said. ‘Everything has to be on the table.’ In another interview with the Bloomberg News he said 'he couldn't think of a single first term Bush tax cut worth saving.' So by his words, 'Everything has to be on the table', 'everything’ would mean repealing the 10% low-income tax bracket, the child tax credit and marriage penalty relief which were proposed by President Bush and passed in 2001.

According to the Treasury Department, repealing those provisions would raise taxes on the average middle income family by about $2,000 a year.

If the economy is in such terrible shape as the Democrats want you to believe, is raising the taxes of middle-class families $2,000 a year a good idea?

What happened was, this guy pretends to be a cop. He calls up the fast food restaurants and tells them that one of their young employees is under suspetion of drugs. No names, mind you. He then gets the manager and an outsider (in this case, the manager's fiance) to strip the girl and then one of them stays in the room and is told to have sex with her. THere are over 70 reported cases in America!

Now, I gotta ask, at what point would you say no, this is wrong? When the order is said over the phone with no evidence that it's a cop on the other end? When the manager is told to strip the girl and leave her alone with a male? When the male is told to have sex with a teen for four hours!

And they got off light. Five years for the manager and fiance and so far nothing for the fake cop!

Given the current events in the circus we call our Gov't, do you feel the system of checks & balances is really working, or is it simply my side against your side and whatever it takes to win or make you look like a schmuck? Put your politcal feelings aside, and give an honest to goodness answer. I feel it's a joke, and quite honetly I'm getting tired of it from both partys.
