Politics & Government - 10 May 2007

Senator James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) introduced his National Language Act (S.1335) in the Senate. Senator Inhofe's legislation is virtually identical to Congressman Peter King's National Language Act (H.R.769). Senator Inhofe's legislation is also virtually identical to his original "English First" amendment to the immigration bill, which passed on May 18, 2006, by a vote of 63-34. The major difference between the bill and the amendment is that the Inhofe amendment did not address the foreign language ballot issue. The Inhofe legislation, if passed, would specifically ban foreign language ballots.

Both the Inhofe amendment and the Inhofe bill would repeal Clinton Executive Order 13166, which requires all recipients of federal funds to function in any language anyone speaks at any time. The Inhofe legislation, if passed and signed into law, would also put an end to the lawsuit by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the Salvation Army.

#1 First they asked the undercover FBI agent to lead the attack because he had more experience. Then they changed their minds and said they could not attack with out a Fatwa.
#2 They hesitated at buying automatic weapons, because off all things, they are illegal.
#3 They send a jihad tape to circuit city.

So, is this a real terrorism plot, or one the same types Bush got busted for in 05 with his top ten list of terror plot he foiled, that turned out to not lead to even one conviction on terror charges. But at least the same wannabe conservatives willing to give up civil rights for safe can feel all warm and safe now. Bush protected you pansy's from more big bad and bungling muslims.

Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Penn, etc etc....

This IS America, folks, everyone is entitled to an oppinion, even the rich and famous. My question is, why do you care so much??? Isn't what our government is doing on a day to day basis much more of an issue??? After all they are the ones in power. I just feel that you're distracting yourselves from the REAL issues by doing this!!!

I don't use marijuana and I don't particularly care who does, however, as with alocohol prohibition, wouldn't legalizing marijuana create a bunch of jobs and commerce and tax money and get rid of the scumbags that sell pot to our children and make gangsters cool???

If Bush had originally sent a million soldiers into Iraq wouldn't any terrorists there have simply left, laid low and picked at the U.S. force's perimeter (sort of like they're doing now)?

After all, it is what the terrorist want, and we will end up with another country that is bent on Israel and American destruction.
Also, it appears that our democratically controlled congress is helping the terrorist and hurting our troops by not giving them the funds that they need in order to stop the terrorist and help the new Iraqi government succeed. This shows how the democrats are anti-democracy in their ideals I believe. How can any body support them?

Let me start by saying I despise Al Sharpton, but how are his comments about Romney not beleiving in God any different than the comments that Rush and Hannity make on their shows about liberals being Godless and without morals. Please don't say that Hannity and Rush are telling the truth and Sharpton is lying, as anyone with brain function knows they are all full of crap.

We are currently renting a house from a friend. The friend swore that because we were friends we didnt need a lease, we didnt want to, but went along with it. Well, now, 6 months later, he has sold the house to his father because of finacial troubles. His father calls us out of the blue to tell us what happened and says he is upping the rent and will expect 1st last and security by June 1st. We cannot be out until the end of June as we need to time to save for the cost of moving. Since we have no lease, if we decide not to pay Junes rent, can he legally evict us before then? I know we cant hold him to any standards because we dont have a lease, so can he hold us to any for the same reason? Can he evict us or sue us for the rent if we have no contract?

Politicians aren't war experts or battle strategists, so why should they have the most power on the military. I say thay we should have the Joint Cheif of staff be the commander in chief of the military so we dont screw anything up.

Do politicians actually know anything about war? No They are policticians, they get elected to make laws. Generals on the other hand, actually have military training.

Politicians DO know what will happen to Iraq if we pull out, it would be anarchy. On the 2nd day, the gov't would be dismantled, and it would be anarchy. Thousands would die, it would be terrible. But politicans don't ******* care. They are selfish. Generals aren't selfish, and know the consequences.

What's say you.
