I would really like to know what people around the United States think.
I've heard of some small school systems that went from paying $1000 dollars a year for English as a second language support to $700,000 in a year or 2.
In my county, the sheriff's dept. was working with ICE( Immigration and customs enforcement) to deport convicted criminals who were also wanted for charges in Mexico. A local Hispanic alliance was quoted in the paper as saying they were outraged that they were not consulted!
Why would we consult a "support group" to uphold our laws? Why would anyone want the bad guys to stay around?
I have many friends and several family members from all over the world and I speak 3 languages. Diversity of cultures is a good thing, but some times we really clash. When my brother was married in Mexico city he had to pay bribes to 3 different government officials to get a marriage license. If that happened in the USA those 3 people would go to jail.
What do you think?

I personally heard him repeatedly attack and slander this man to a national radio audience when the man was right all along. Murtha had inside information and knows just a little (;-)) more about what is going on in Iraq and millitary affairs than Hannity. One of them is a war heroe.

Nephew talking about hurting himself due to pressure at basic training. Already was in the hospital for pneumonia and asthma while there. He is only 18 and has an older brother already in the army. Afraid he bit off more than he can chew. Guess he had something to prove. How do we get him out before he hurts himself or worst? Is it too late too help him now?

Becuase technically, their has never been a true communist goverment. Countries have attempted to be a communist, but they all resulted in somone taking power over the goverment, and so it becomes a dictatorship. So we don't really know if the communist party really works or not. So when people mention communism, and say its a bad form of goverment. How do they Know??

Your response to:

As a former Republican, I can say the Republicans in power were the wicked. They were destroying our country that is now facing a catasrophic economic meltdown once tax revenues slow, as the will. Some examples: The huge increases in spending on "earmarked" projects they embedded in legislation so they can get re-elected; they love power. They supported a massive increase in the size of government during their reign. No problem now with tax reveunues up 10% a year last two years. But in time the economy will slow down sharply; we are already seeing signs of the crash with the steep fall in commodity prices--oil and copper way down due to low demand. This copper drop strongly suggests the economy shall crash due to low demand for copper in housing, cars, etc. Your party created a government that sucks up nearly 50% of the economy--it is a Monster--that takes freedom and money away from families.

Johnson made all of the all accomplishments with little glory, JFK's greatest accomplishment seemed to be getting shot with a lot of false glory. So is JFK our most overrated President.

Nice to see the conservatives study history....

"Naturally the common people don't want war. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."
