Politics & Government - 27 February 2007

What is it? I've run through a list of possibilities, and I realize its probably not one factor but a combination of factors, but it (this question) just confounds me completely!

Is it semiotics? Is it crafty manipulations of language fed to people in short tiny bursts that take hours to deconstruct and refute?

Is it fox news? Is it some desperate cling to some misguided group identity of what it means to be midwestern (where I think most of his few remaining supporters are)?

Is it the dependence of the American mind on authorities to tell us which authors, politicians, newscasters, and pastors to trust, such that people fail to investigate both sides and make their own conclusions based on the evidence?

Hello, my name is Brittany and I am currently running a campaign for Region IV FBLA Vice President. Although, my FBLA chapter and I have been having some trouble with coming up with a slogan that either rhymes with my name or relates to me. If there is anyone out there with some great idea I would love to hear them and they will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!

Israel wants to drag the US into a holy war with the Middle East, this way Israel, can control all the oil and the land in this sacred part of the world, the zionist have teamed up with the american Jihadist party(republicans) and our Empeor Bush, along with Lord Cheney, who is jewish, to attack the US, invade afghanistan, and invade Iraq, and maybe next Iran and Syria, Now do you see why Joe Lieberman supports the war in Iraq.
Hitler might have been on the right course of exterminating Zionist

Please answer both parts and give your reason or reasons why you chose the best and why you chose the worst. The most thoughtful, reasoned answer will get the winning points. Please keep emotions out of your answer. Just go with the facts. Thank you.

It seems that people like to throw that word around a lot. I know that some conservatives like to apply that word to liberals.

My husband's ex-wife filed for chapter 13, to save her house and payoff other debt. She ended up losing her house so it was taken out of the Chapter 13. Since the debt that was left was mostly credit card debt, she converted to a Chapter 7 (since she already lost her biggest asset - Her house). She never went to the creditor's meeting - so the Chapter 7 was dismissed by the court.

She is asking my husband - what happens now? (we're conserned because some of the debt could include my husband, during the time they were married)

What does the dismissal from the court mean? We have tried to research this on the internet, but can't find any real answers. Except that it will stay on her credit - the same way as if it was discharged. Please help if you have any answers. Thanks

1.Gun Control
2. Taxes
3. Welfare System (homeless, children, elderly)
4. War on Terror
5. Foreign Trade
6. Immigration
I consider myself a Conservative basically due to the fact that I believe all Americans have the right to own firearms, the government takes too much of my money in taxes, welfare should be used to help people not give people a free ride, that we should hit terrorists whereever they are, trade should be American first, and Immigration should be overhauled and a put a stop to the migration of the Mexican workforce....but I am openminded enough to listen to a different point of view. Just wanted to know,first hand, what your beliefs are...thank you.

I was pulled over yesterday for no reason at all. The officer said that he thought I may have been speeding. I clearly wasn't speeding at all. Was he just checking me out?

The warrant was issued due to contributing, and it's not as serious as murder, so how long will this warrant last?
