Politics & Government - 14 December 2006

Should we not finish the mission in Iraq first? If not, why should we get involved in another muslim civil war? Why move the battlefield? Do you realize that when we move our troops anywhere in the world now, the insurgent terrorist are sure to follow? What is the National security issue for the United States in Darfur? Is it because one is in the mid east, and one is in Africa? Do you remember the last time America tried to help out in Africa? I do. What has Africa done to help Africa?

If you are so willing to help Darfur, why are you still here?

Hey fellow vets... don't you find it irritating when people come on making statements about Iraq (or any other war) like its a fact, and they've never been there? Making statements how "this is like that" or "that is like this" and they only get their info from the news or from people who know people who was a pen pal with someone over there? That reeeaaally gets under my skin.

We are constitutionaly allowed to.

"And when a long train of abuses pursuing inveriably the same object convinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security."

It took Nixon, a staunch right-wing anti-communist to open up Detent with USSR and China. It took a Johnson, a Southern Democrat from a former Confederate State to pass the Civil Rights Laws (if you don't think most the 60's Southern Democrats were racist you don't know Southern History.)
So, what d'ya think?

do you think that if a pregnant woman loses her fetus/embroyo due to a criminal act (assult,mugging, ect) that the criminal should face extra penalties?

I'm pro-choice and don't think human life begins until the association areas of the brain are developed, but if I get pregnant and want my fetus to grow and be born than why does someone get away with causing me to miscarry?

I've known people who got into physical fights and the person intentionally went for their abdomon because they were pregnant. I think those people should be charged with an illegal abortion.

Maybe we could have a 'pregnant penalty', if you attack a pregnant woman you get an extra charge.

any thoughts?

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.
Profound silence followed. Finally he said,. "Lastly, I would censor
Victor Hanson Davis's book "Mexifornia." His book is dangerous. It exposes
the plan to destroy America . If you feel America. deserves to be
destroyed, don't read that book."
>
> There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous
cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that
room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically,
quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.
Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation
of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric
cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate
'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as
corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California and
other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It
is reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three
slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace,"
"Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength."
>
> Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the
conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is
deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration
monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California
wildfire and destroy everything in its path especially The American Dream.

first of all, i want to say that my grades are fairly good. my grades are slightly better than average, but im on the verge of failing. i dont have enough credits to graduate on time. ive been to 4 different highschools and my last school's credit system was different than this one. i was only given 1/2 credit per semester at my old school and this school gives you a full credit per semester. at my old school i needed less credits to graduate because the classes gave you less credits. when i came to my new school, i was short of credits because of my old highschools credit system. my grades were good enough to get me into both chemistry 2 and advanced math yet im about to fail? i dont think this is right at all. i want to graduate with the rest of my class. where should i go to get help? ive talked to a couple of my teachers and my counsler but they arent helping me. theyre just telling me to take a night class but i really just want to graduate normally like i should be able to.

The president is the foreign policy leader for the United States with an important political, military, and economic role in the international arena. If there is collision between the president and Congress, can Congress restrain the president in foreign policy making?
