Politics & Government - 8 May 2007

According to the Department of Labor Statistics own records, we add nearly 2 million citizens to the workforce each year from high schools and colleges.

According to their charts, (private sector, age 16 and up, not seasonally adjusted) we added nearly 18 million new jobs from 1992 until 2000... since 2000 we lost nearly 4 million, then added about 7 million back by the end of 2006 for a NET of about 3 million new jobs in 6 years.

During this same period from 2000 to the present they estimate that we have added 3 million illegal invaders per year, which would indicate that about 28 million people are without jobs THAT ARE BEING COUNTED.

How can we possibly have 4% unemployment?

If so do you support men’s equality, in particular the gender discrimination men are faced with in family law? Do you support family law reform? I was not going to put this in the political section but it is a political issue, it just does not get media attention because feminists suppress it and it is not PC to talk about men’s equality.

I`m going to start using the "Going Baldwin" thing.....I think you should as well...You, as a liberal or a conservative(and open minded), will find great folly with this one...It just makes plain sense in my opinion. Do it !!! It`ll be great fun for you !!! This would be one more way for you all to decipher if those around you have any idea about what is going on around them...Yes, it`s hitting a prominent liberal, but it also a tool for all of us. You and I are "connected".....but what about those around us ??? What do you think ? I think "Going Baldwin" works.

OK, the Liberals are starting the new blacklisting of Hollywood, but instead of Communism, the new $64 question is
"Are you now or have you ever been a RACIST?"

You guys tried to blacklist Mel Gibson for his anti-semitic remarks, but he was already too popular. So instead, you guys waited until Don Imus made one (more) racist remark, and put a permanent black mark next to his name.

But Don Imus was one of you! Couldn't you guys have waited until a CONSERVATIVE said something racist, so you wouldn't have to lose a fellow Liberal in the media?

Are you guys going to start up the HUCC, the House Un-American Comments Committee? We could call the new movement "Sharptonism"!!
Everyone in Hollywood will have to swear:

""We will forthwith discharge or suspend without compensation those in our employ, and we will not re-employ any racist until such time as he is acquitted or has purged himself of contempt and declares under oath that he is not a Racist."

Think about it....seen any in your neighborhood lately? I remember when it was the communists and I didn't know what they looked like either! Then it was Viet Nam where there was no way of telling who the enemy was. Who are the real terrorists, are they the ones who gain control by instilling fear and calling it protection? The only time I've seen one is on the tv news

I think it's because the people who say this are so insecure about their own beliefs that the only way they can feel good about them is to tear down the beliefs of others.

Agree or disagree?

The Iraq War will end up just like the Vietnam War. Although many people refuse to accept that it will be another Vietnam (by stating that American casualties is not as heavy as in the Vietnam War), but all the other ingredients that will make it another Vietnam are there. Primarily, the majority of the American people does not support the war. President Bush's approval rating is at its lowest, 28% (mainly because the majority disagree of the way he managed the war). Many Republicans distanced themselves away from Bush's policies. Militarily, there are no set goals or objectives to achieve. Simply put, the words "surge" or "stay the course" would not achieve anything because there isn't any clearly defined set of objectives to pursue. Even the claims of "winning" or "losing" the war became already so obscured, because there are no metrics or yardstick to correlate them to. It appears that the American troops are only baby-sitting an Iraqi civil war, something that they really cannot do anything about (for they cannot take sides to favor either the Sunnis or the Shias). Since the war's beginning, all the top military commanders already made it clear that military action alone wouldn't win the war. The overall strategy should also include political solutions, economic solutions, socio-religious solutions, and diplomatic dialogues with Iraq's neighbors. Now, it's already the 4th year of the war and only the military solution has been pursued all along (and the U.S. is not even winning convincingly in this aspect alone). All the other solutions were completely ignored.

So yes, the Iraq War have a lot of parallels with the Vietnam War. It's only a matter of time before the policy-makers in Washington realizes this.
