Politics & Government - 17 December 2006

I need to follow up to my question yesterday about "welfare." I just want to say that I was NOT trying to put anyone who is legitimalty on governement help down. I am fully aware that there are people who do need help. People who have lost their jobs, or their spouse leaves them. I was just trying to comment that there are people who work the system and others who truly need help. Growing up, my father hurt himself at work and was wrongfully denied work comp. because his employer fought him. We were denied any governement assistance and went without groceries days at a time. Where is the justice in that? Would you not be cross with people who "work the system" and take away from those who need? I think people forget that there are a lot of working class citizens that need help too, but are forgotten or shuned by the system because they do work, therfore they don't qualify for help. Remeber that before you are quick to defend the opposing side. Happy holidays all.

I mean the America haters from other countries that would love nothing more than to see the Liberal/Conservative bickering putting a strain on the American way of life. And tear at the fabric of this great rich society.
I am not saying lets all get along ( I hate that phrase ) Just watch over your neighbor.
And know your enemy , because they do.
They are just laughing at us, --WAKE UP people ! .

They in my opinion could care less about you and are laughing their heads off on how you are defending them tooth and nail. And bashing the government right and left ( no pun intended ) .

The National-Union believes that their rights are already protected under the Constitution, the only issue is enforcement of civilian rights to secure tolerance.
On abortion, we believe in alternative-choice, which means transferring the fetus to a barren woman because scientists found out that abortions can increase breast cancer by 50% in patients and to end abortion-related deaths.
