Politics & Government - 1 February 2007

I realize a president must cater to the Zionist while in his first term,or he will not be reelected, but, since Bush could not run a third term don't you think he should have told Israel to shove it and get off their high horse and do as the U,N, and the world has asked, instead of protecting them unconditionally, how can we expect the world to like us or respect us when we condone them killing women, children , the one incident where the 12 year old boy was killed and his dad wounded should be enought to make anyones heart break, they were no where near the kids throwing rocks, yet they were killed by four 50 cal, machine gun fire froma the Isreali tank and how can any one justify killing these kids because they threw rocks at a Israeli tank , they couldn't possible did any harm to the tank or the people inside, but, Israel has committed so many instances of murder I guess they think one more won't even count, but, this time it was filmed, when will the American people say enough?

I was asked to leave my local library earlier today because I was using the computer to sell items on e-bay. The last I knew the library was open to the public and certainly intended for use by upstanding tax paying citizens such as myself.

To make matters worse, it took about 20 minutes to transport all the items from my truck to the PC area of the library. I carried in 2 full hampers of clothing, 4 aluminum rims for a 1993 Firebird and an old desk – all which I intended to list / sell on E-bay. No sooner did I get 2 items of clothing pictured, description listed and auction posted when the librarian told me I could not sell items on E-bay from the library.

Aside form a rude tone; this librarian demanded I gather my belongings and leave. I asked for an explanation but the only answer I got was “you can’t sell items oh E-bay here”. So my question is – what did I do wrong? I’m a tax paying citizen entitled you use the public library and it’s PCs.

I don't think I'm neither Republican nor Democrat. These are some things I strongly believe in:

*Abortion is not a women's right

*We should choose more where our tax dollars go and help the poor more

*We should not be fighting in Iraq, rather focusing more on educating the young people there so they are not swayed by terrorists ideas

*Gay marriage should be allowed, because I don't believe the government has a say in that.

*Capital punishment should not exist

*Stem cell research should not be allowed if possible babys to be are thrown away (they literally throw hundreds away,, in the trash basically)

*That there is a strict limit on who can have guns

*All drugs should be illegal including marajuanna unless the drug is perscribe by a doctor

*That most of our taxes go to the people and public schools

What gets me so confused is I seem to fall in the middle.

I am employed at a branch of a telemarketing firm that is run from another state. My manager gives his friend a paycheck weekly who never actually shows up for work.Calling human resources or the greivence line is useless as people who do this are quickly fired. Isn't there an agency that I can report this to? I know that their is no arrangement for this person to work from his home or away from the office.

Mr. Someone parked at the hotel and ate at the hotels restaurant before attending local footbal game and does this every year for the past several years. On one occasion he meets his son and nephew for a pregame meal. As they leave for the stadium, Mr. Someones son led the way out fo the hotels doors, while walking and talking with each other. Mr. Someone then walks through a glass panel to the left of the glass doors, shattering the panel and cutting his left hand. The hotels entrance has 2 glass doors sperated by a 45-inch wide glass panel. One glass panel is 4 ft wide by 9 ft high & were situated by either side of the door. The glass is tinted brown. The panels had metal frames. Decorative plants are normally in from of panel but not on this day. After accident, the hotel spent 75.00 and installed horizontal rails across panel - I am needing to see if the hotel is negligent in this case or is it Mr. Someones fault?

Rightwingers continue to repeat the lie that most Democrats in Congress voted for the war, even when shown the evidence:

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2002/roll455.xml
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=107&session=2&vote=00237#top


If you look at the numbers, you will see that 126 Democrats in the House and 21 Democrats in the Senate voted against the lie-based Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002:

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2002/roll455.xml

Only SIX REPUBLICANS in the House and ONE Republican in the Senate voted against the LIE-BASED QUAGMIRE.

Of the 255 Democrats in Congress at that time, a majority, 153, voted AGAINST the resolution.
Only 102 Democrats in Congress voted for it.

So, the notion that Democrats SHARE RESPONSIBILITY because a MINORITY OF DEMOCRATS BELIEVED THE LIES ABOUT WMD, is patently RIDICULOUS.

"Your family immigrated from Africa Europe and Asia and Mexicans have the right just as you to be here"

Mexicans do not have the right to be here and neither does anyone else without proper documentation and approval.

Do these people understand that American citizens usually are not considered "immigrant" after the 3rd generation. most american's have been here for centuries from other countries and some dont even claim that country's blood.
Furthermore, immigration law did not exist 100 200 300 years ago so why do people keep using the forefathers immigration cliché? All you needed was a ticket to sail over to the US back then but now we have something called the law and the law states that it is a crime to enter the US without approval. Simple as that. If there was immigration law back then they would have to go through the same process as foreigners do today.

Is it just me that gets tired of hearing this cliché? these laws are created for a reason.

Duh. The media does not show the President of Iran announcing the Destruction of the West. Maybe one program. Why? Duh. Do you think it is not news? Duh. Do you think the Prez of Iran is bluffing? Duh. Perhaps you dont even think we are in a real war? You cant see it so it dont exist...just like oxygen.
What do you think will happen when, when they get nukes? Think they might plant them here in our country? Go back to sleep and read about which movie star is divorcing which...etc etc....

Almost all leftists are Christian. Fact.
Almost all leftists are Christian. Fact.

Sure, mix in socialism, marxism, and every other "equality of misery" belief system that the weak and insecure of humanity gravitate towards, but the fact remains, and hey, can you beat this:

"love your enemies" ----

Uhh, no. That doesnt work. See Darwin. But if you like this insane certain-destruction moral principle, vote in a Dennis Kuchnich or Edwards. There ya go....they will sureeely love the enemy. Sounds too simple right? Sorry....thats where these loser get this stuff...for most of us, it starts early and we hang on to childhood values.

"turn the other cheek" ----

Which one? My butt cheek so it can be the first to be ripped off and devoured? Uhh...thats not the real world.

"Do on to others..." ---

Cool, thumbs up there. Golden rule should always be practiced, because its practical...it works...its "IN OUR INTERESTS".

Why do most people feel they can judge a person without knowing anything? I mean....Take Bush.....I know he has made some bad call....at least as far as I can tell...but you and I both know we have absoutly no idea what is really going on and what info he and the gov has....so how can we say we would do anything different? The economy is good. stocks market is at all time highs and has been for a long while (yes even before the dems took congress)....he has done a lot of good...that gets over shadowed by the war....but can any of you say you would have acted different without knowing what he really know? We don't know a 1/4 of what really happened and let up to it....and we never will.

Cause I've heard they get sent somewhere. Does it ALWAYS happen, that they go over seas?

So the United States Senate voted overwhelmingly today to raise the minimum wage in the US for the first time in a decade. Will this have any impact on poverty, like Sen. Ted Kennedy says it will? (Interesting aside: where I live, even someone earning twice the minimum wage would find it hard to support themselves..so I still think people are gonna be hurtin...)
