Politics & Government - 20 June 2007

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House of Representatives this morning voted to withhold federal emergency services funding for "sanctuary cities" that protect illegal immigrants.
Anti-illegal immigration champion Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., sponsored the measure, which he says would apply to cities such as Denver and Boulder. He was elated by its passage, which stunned critics and supporters alike.

Could we really win?

in academic institutions and research? I have worked in 2 biomedical labs. The first was in a public university in the south. The second was a cancer hospital in the north. Both of these places are so infiltrated with liberals that I can hardly stand it anymore. I feel SO out of place but I love research.

Oddly, though a science field, politics often come up in which case everyone jumps on me for being conservative. I understand about getting funding and grants through the federal govt.... but there is more to politics than that!

Why are there so many liberals in academic institutions and research?

My mother's mortgage co. has been calling and harassing me for her mortgage payments since she died a couple of months ago. I have sent them all the legal forms for them to file a claim in Probate Court but they are having their collectors call me, anyway, saying they could forclose on her house. My brother and I are worried that we might lose the house before we can put it on the market for sale.

Not just the Mexicans but you have the Asians & Caribbean also. Would you deal with em or just leave it as is?

I think were being invaded & we should lock down are borders & use force if necessary. The military would be on the border & there would be a 1 mile buffer kill zone with Mexico & entry control points for those who want to come in here legit. You try to enter this country in a banana boat I’ll treat you like & aggressor & blow your azz out the water. I also would severely punish businesses that hire illegals. Take away all benefits & aggressively hunt down all illegals. Just because you spit out a baby on US soil don’t mean jack sh*t to me. Take you & your lil bundle of joy back 2 where u cam from. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this by the PC police but f*ck em. We need to take our country back.

Just curious because my cuz is in the airforce and told me she is tired of it and doesn't want to be there anymore. She is gay and told me that if she admits it they will let her go. IS this true? It just seems too easy. If that were the case, wouldn't everyone say they were gay so they wouldn't have to go to war? I know I would, lol. Does anybody know of someone getting discharged because of sexual orientation? I know it's "don't ask, don't tell" but what if you tell willing?

Salman Rushdie wrote a book called the ''Satanic Versuses" which many Muslims feel, portrays Islam in a negative light. Recently, Rushdie was knighted by the queen, this has really pissed off Islamic follwers, they are protesting and have again put called for his death and bounty has been placed on Rushdie's head.

Why do the alleged follwers of peace want to kill anybody with a different opinion?

The latest Home Office rules say the public should not bother the police if their credit card details are used by a fraudster - only banks can report this crime. Is this a green light to more credit card theft

You're going to be hearing about a new study that's due to come out later this week. The study is from some liberal think tank called the Center for American Progress. The report is going to cite a "massive imbalance" between conservative and "progressive" (that would be liberal) talk radio. As you might have guessed, this report will contain some proposals for solutions ... and I'm guessing we're in for another push for the resurrection of the idiotically-named "Fairness Doctrine."

That was question #1.

#2: If 9/11 had happened, how would Gore have responded and where would we be today in countering terrorism?

#3. Wouldn't the GOP still be blaming Gore for 9/11?

#4. If Sept.11th hadn't happened because Gore caught the plot in advance with intelligence, would the GOP folks not realize what he had thwarted and be ranting against him about something else.

#5. Where would we be today if Gore had won, 9/11 hadn't happened, and we'd had a democratic congress for 2 yrs. How about a GOP congress the whole time opposing Gore?
