OK my ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FOLLOWERS let’s save our welfare, our food stamps, WIC and all the free cheese. Let’s keep up the fight against all immigrants, let’s keep all illegals out from our trailer parks. Let’s fight for what is ours. If we do not stick together we are going to be forced to GET A JOB. Lets avoid that. We are white, we are white, we are white and we speak English. My welfare, My welfare, MY welfare, My welfare, My welfare, My welfare

"The lardiest highway bill of all time, including a $223m bridge connecting the Alaskan town of Ketchikan to an island with a population of 50." - Ted Stevens - R

"In the end, though, Mr Bush made the response to Katrina a federal responsibility, and the federal government botched it. The rescue effort was ill co-ordinated. Billions of relief dollars were wasted. The Department of Homeland Security's inspector-general noted, for example, that $900m was splurged on 26,000 mobile homes for evacuees, when regulations forbid the use of such homes on flood plains, so 11,000 of them were left “sinking in the mud” in Arkansas."

"When Congress passed a grotesque package of farm subsidies in 2002 and Mr Bush signed it, many Republicans were convinced that it was the lesser of two evils. If they failed to support uneconomic farms, they figured, they might lose crucial Midwestern votes and hand power back to the Democrats."
Etc.

I am teaching the concept of federalism to my students. We are examining a recent case in California where the County of San Diego is suing to overturn a law (proposition 215) that allows for the medical use of marijuana. Marijuana is listed as a schedule 1 narcotic (most dangerous classification) by the federal government. I am not debating the merits of the law one way or another. I am interested in finding out how the federal law that bans the use of marijuana is resolved with the state law in CA that allows for the use of medical marijuana. How does the federal government punish a person for doing something that is legal in the State of California? I am sorry if this is confusing, but I am trying to understand it myself.

When Am I Coming Home? And where is Rumsfeld? (first question asked. nov 16th

-concerned at Ft. Lewis (signed on second question on Nov 16th)

To my sis if you are reading this thanks for voting the way you did to get us home.
Thanks for the batteries and the jerky, the guys love it.

Steve
2d Battalion
Rangers

today last post.

So he wants to COME HOME, but is in Fort Lewis and recieving care packages while in fort lewis. As well as a true "2nd" Battalion would NEVER sign off as 2d Battalion.

This guy should be shot and will probably hear from the military since I sent this to a friend in the Pentagon too. This is the most discracfull thing I have ever seen.

Not been someone who is lives in the US I see a lot of questions bagging the democrats. So I wonder how they won the mid term elections. Why then did they win? People in my country deny voting for John Howard (our PM) and slag off at him all the time too and deny ever voting for the creep. So why then did the democrats win? Why did you vote for the party you did? Will yo vote the same way in 08?

What accounts for the fact that the U.S. has 1/3 of the worlds prison population, but only 1/20th of the worlds population?

"As of 2004 the United States had the highest percentage of people in prison of any nation. At a rate of incarceration of 726 inmates per 100,000, the United States has the highest reported rate in the world, well ahead of the Russian rate of 532 per 100,000. In 2004, more than 2.1 million Americans, or roughly 1 out of every 138, were in prisons or jails, a figure which represented one third of the world's prison population. To illustrate these figures, if the United States had the same rate of incarceration as Japan or China, only about 100,000 people would be in jail."
