The S.Ct. came very close to eliminating affirmative action today. Kennedy (the new O'Connor) came out in favor of racial discrimination to achieve "diversity" in schools - otherwise, AA would have been toast. We're one justice away from restoring the idea that the Constitution prohibits racial discrimination in favor of ANY race.

My father is a blue-collared worker who works his butt off for a living. He is part of a labor union and will vote for the candidate who most supports labor unions, which nowadays are Democrats. He says he does not hate Bush, but does not agree with everything he does and that some of his ideas are what Republicans have. Is my father basically an Independent?

Because of my father, who is now in jail, my house was raided. They took anything illegal as well as his dmv papers (pink slip, registration) We now need to sell the car because it is a manual and no one in my house knows how to drive one.fyi his car had nothing to do with the charges against him. So does anyone know how i would go about getting the dmv records back? or can i get it back?

I've said this many times, but I'll say it again:
The junior Senator from Illinois who had virtually no name recognition 6 months ago outside of Illinois is going to be your next President.
He started his first tv campaign in Iowa this week. That means he has generated all this momentum via word of mouth up to this point.
He's nearly even with Hillary who had the most name recognition humanly possible after being First Lady and a Senator from NY state.
The Ann Coulter's of the world are going to need to find more wrong with him than his middle name if they want to keep him out of the White House.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I can't believe some people are so delusional and dumbed down that they don't realize both the Republican and Democrat Parties are owned by the same groups of ultra-rich corporations and the criminals who own those corporations. They have fun endorsing their candidates they support on the media sources they own like Fox News, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and extremely wealthy businessman and brainwashing the general public to support those mainstream candidates on TV and they laugh all the way to the bank when these morons all over the place are always arguing over which candidate or political party is better, when they both are owned by the same crooks. The only political party not hijacked by these crooks is the Libertarian Party, and the Libertarian Party never gets publicity on the news because they are against the crooks who run the biggest news sources. If you haven't noticed it, I will say quite plainly you are stupid.

Personally I believe that everything will stay the same. Nothing is going to change! They aren't going to enforce the laws on the books and illegals are going to continue coming in as they please. So basically we just agreed to "Silent Amnesty". You all just agreed to let them stay here and continue living as they are. Doesn't make much sense to me. At least some sort of reform would be doing SOMETHING.

at what point are we as Americans beholden to our responsibility to forceably remove these anti-American usurpers from office?
seems that if it were any country other than America, that these actions were taking place, we would have demanded NATO step in with peacekeeping forces, or we would have sent a covert CIA squad in to take out the kakistocracy with a few well placed rounds...
but when it's our own - we are mired in fear of our own government and seem to concede that they're immune to laws - just because they say so

so it ends up in voting. How many of you go back after that length of time to check on a question you answered and place a vote?
I know, it's not politics, I'm just curious about this. It's hard for me to believe a lot of people are keeping track after three days and care enough to spend their time going back to check questions and vote. If not, who is voting on these questions? It doesn't go by the thumbs up or down, just by votes after the fact.

I left my wash bucket that I planned on using to wash my new car, my car wax, tire cleaner and things of that sort in the trunk of the old car. I didn't realize this until 2 weeks after I sold the car to him. He has never mentioned that I left those things in the car, and my guess would be that he intends to keep them for himself and I suffer the loss. Legally, are those things still mine or do they become his since the car is now signed over to him? If he plays dumb and says he doesn't have them (I'm 100% sure I left them in the car) can I use my spare key and go in the trunk while he's parked at work and get my stuff out? Should I let it go and suffer the loss?
