Politics & Government - 7 July 2007

I speak of Bush in the past tense, because his shameless pardon of Libby indicates that he no longer wishes to accomplish anything in office.

So, looking back on the Bush II years, whatever happened to all those easily-led folks who once believed he was a great President?

Wouldn't it be cheaper on all of us if we just helped build up Mexico and created Mexican business opportunities than to allow millions to cross our borders each year and take jobs away from us?

I know we have no obligation to build up Mexico...but do you think it would be cheaper and better on us American citizens to try and make them want to STAY in Mexico?

Just a crazy thought. I hate to see what happens to our economy within the next 20 years at the rate we're going.

Who would win in a fight? I'm thinking the girl scout would win, it would be a close one, but I'm confident she would come out the champion.

To what extent is this incident known and appreciated in the US?

2007-07-07 18:45:17 · 11 answers · asked by harveyhall_2 1 in Politics

I have heard that the constitution that the US was founded on, was scrapped by Bush. Also that he implemented something, whereby he could become a dictator if there was another "Terrorist Act."
Could someone please clarify the situation for me. What rights have been removed and what does it mean for the average citizen?

I will conceed that some people do bring their children with them from wherever when they come here illegally. I understand they did not have a say in the matter. What galls me is that when they are made aware of the fact they are illegal and turn 18, it is their responsibility to go back to their homeland. They are aware that they are breaking the law & continue to do so and whine about it. They should be pissed at their parents! If I do anything illegal, I can't get away with blaming my parents or pleading that I'll be forced to live bleow what I am accustomed to, they would laugh my butt right out of court! But when an illegal says it, it carries weight?! If you are here illegally , just go home and apply the correct way.

Assume some police officer ,advocate & magistrate act oblivious {UNAWARE} & ignore the guidelines framed by Supreme Court regarding arresting & prosecuting medical professionals for negligence.
And they file & proceed some case of medical negligence under section 304 IPC instead of 304 'A' IPC ignorantly against some doctor.
Because of it that Dr. becomes unnecessorily jailed for a long time & suffers a great loss of reputation and income.
IS not that professional negligence from the side of people who are connected with legal system of India?
Could that Dr.get compensation for all his pains & damages in the form of money in India?
Could that Dr. file criminal complaint against those legal professionals for CAUSING unjust , unlawful & ignorant legal proceeding against him?

How can anyone say anything to America? Why doesn't the American Government just tell all the people it owes to pound salt. They can just bully them, and say NO! I'm not paying. Strong arm everyone.

Hey, i have a question for all you law savvy people. I know of an SPCA that when you report animal abuse cases, they take no action and do not seem to care at all (i hva experience with this)..now since these abuse cases are against the law...could you go through the police? And is the fact that they arent taking action at this particular SPCA something that can be reported? Thank you for your time.

It's true! Next time you hear someone telling you some BS about a "fair tax" or a "flat tax" Remember this info! Taxes continue to take up a relatively small part of American economic output, according to data compiled by Citizens for Tax Justice from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Census. For example, in all but two OECD countries, taxes make up a larger percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) than in the United States.(http://www.ctj.org/pdf/oecd07.pdf)The federal tax code has become so skewed in favor of investors over workers that personal taxes on earnings are now two-and-a-half times greater than personal taxes on investment income. That is the central finding of a new analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), released today by Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ). (http://www.ctj.org/pdf/earnpr.pdf)

It just seems to me that they can never shut up about themselves. Its not like they actually live up to what they always say.

"First to fight." - yeah right, Army Rangers and Special Forces are always there first.

"We are all rifleman." - LOL, many of the marines i've met can barely spell rifleman, much less actually know how to shoot

"We are tougher because our basic is longer." - oh wow, a few more weeks of walking to a range and missing their targets. That sure sounds tough to me.
