Politics & Government - 23 March 2007

Considering that the President can fire U.S. Attorneys at his whim why would Congress put such a priority on this case letting other cases more important to the citizens see the light of day? I would say probably because of partizan bickering and squabbling over power rather than doing their jobs. But if you know what would be accomplished for this nation by Congress gaining leverage over the President besides short term power to the Democrats and long term damage to the executive branch of the government please enlighten me.

I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war
But I say there's some things worth fightin' for.
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep em' by backing down.
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin in
Before you start your preachin' let me ask you this my friend.

Chorus
Have you forgotten how it felt that day,
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my TV
Said it's too disturbin for you and me
It'll just breed anger is what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9-11 man I'd have to say that's right.

Chorus
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people b

Why do these people have more concern about illegal aliens while turning their backs on America Citizens? The pro amnesty have disgraced and humiliated the poor of this country by insulting them, their kids and families while waving a Mexican flag telling the poor of this country to go to hell.They like to quote the Bible so much only they will not help any Americans they just brush them off calling them lazy and worthless and can careless about Americans going hungry,being sick,being disable. The pro amnesty trash our poor and degrade them, so that a bunch of people from Mexico can have a better life, while they spit on the Americans and curse them out for being poor and hungry saying it's their own fault they are disable and sick.

Okay a guy I know was arrested and charged with check forgery and put on felony probation for a year and a half.
He recently was homeless and he slept in a house for sale for a night, he didnt mess up anything he just slept there at night and left in the morning.

The police took fingerprints and now they have a warrent out for him. He is scared to check in with his P.O. because he thinks the check forgery will come up and he will do 15 yrs or so since it is a felony charge.

The home owner agreed to drop the charges and talk to the detectives and ask them to leave my friend alone. SO what could he be charged for and what do you think is the best thing for him to do? We live in Georgia.

Does he have to call Saudi Arabia and Kuwait first?
He does not listen to Americans.
Who does he listen to?
We need peace in American cities, schools and health care.
The Supreme Court of the USA appointed him, not Kuwait nor Saudi Arabia.

What about killing for what you believe in? Seems that today most in the western world wouldn't. Sure many would say they would, but would they? The west looks at folks who would as if they were nuts. Well maybe they are nuts.

I just took a trip to New Mexico and not everybody would accept my vertical license, which was issued by the State of Texas. They said that it was the law that you had to have a horizontal license to drink.

Is this a fact? Also, is this gonna be a trend that all states will eventually be this way?

Political scientists say the 40-40-20 split is a a given year after year. Furthermore the 20 percent splints into a near dead-heat in recent elections. The Gore loss is a perfect example. So it would appear only roughly 5% are totally in charge of the 2008 election. Do you trust those 5% to go your way? Do you know much about that 5%? They do not ever decide until the last minute. They are a wild card. But there is a wild card when an independent like Perot or Nader step in and attract only a small percentage.Are locked in Dem or Pub? Are you part of the wavering 10%? Or would you, say, vote for the Green Party and damn where the cards fall?

I think if there was no war the middle east would have attacked us immediately and the USA would no longer be free and would be a war country. Is that what people want? For them to take us over and just give them our homes and freedom????? It's so irritating! President Bush is not 100% to blame for our economy.....blame the abuse of public assistance, blame the lack of morals in America, blame the people who refuse to educate themselve or work. Sorry, I'll get off my high horse now, I just really want to know what people think about these things because that is how I view it. PS- PLEASE no comments on how republicans are stupid, blah,blah, blah and no more stuff with the conspiracy theories....they're played out.
